I would honestly play the whole u21 team, we have nothing to gain and everything to lose. We must not play any defender that has any chance of playing at the weekend.

I agree but if Rose can play I'd play him. Some minutes under his belt.

I have a feeling AVB will play some 1st teamers. And he will play Walker. I'm amazed how little rest he's had so far.

Would like to see Chadli Sig Lamela behind Soldado though, to keep trying to get some understanding.

These are the games I'd have liked to have seen Tom Carroll and Alex Pritchard get game time for us, shame but they're getting good minutes elsewhere.

Otherwise would like to see Danny Rose and maybe Ade get a run out.

Walker and Paulinho both need/deserve breaks. Sigurdsson deserves 90 minutes. Kane should get a full game as well.

I'm expecting:

Lloris
Walker Dawson Capoue Naughton
Paulinho Dembele
Townsend Holtby Lamela
Soldado​
I just can't see AVB playing youth players at all.

I want (and I don't know if any of these names are ineligble):

Archer
Naughton Dawson Hall Fryers
Carroll Veljkovic
McEvoy Kane Lamela
Adebayor​
Hall and Carroll arent at the club but I think we may see this especially with the ITK

Archer
Fredricks Veljkovic Fryers Stewart
Sandro Dombaxe
Lamela Sig Townsend
Kane​

I dont think Adebayor will play, I would swap Capoue for Sandro at half time

He won't play Walker etc that would be so stupid and if he got injured we'd deserve it.

We can't play any of our decent defensive options given our problems at the moment. There is reason to risk them on Thursday, we're asking for big trouble if we do.

Only Rose for match fitness reasons.

no first-team defenders except Rose. no Sandro, no Dembele, no Capoue, no Paulinho.

Lamela needs game-time, Sigurdsson hasn't had much lately, and neither has Townsend so I'd expect them to feature

Who plays CB for the kids then?

Wouldn't be opposed to Capoue playing there against Anzhi since presumably he won't start in midfield against Liverpool.

So Vlad could face Liverpool. Doesn't exactly sound promising. No way should we risk Capoue then in this game.
