If we turned out a team like Liverpool's in the FA Cup...

Would you be:
A) Excited to see a team mainly of youngsters?
B) Furious at the club for disrepcting the competition?

 

[George Hannah]

Furious for disrespecting our club and supporters

 

[dronefromsector7G]

I'd be pissed off. It's a trophy and such a weakened team is an insult, especially to the travelling fans.

 

[baildon blue]

Keegan did it against Liverpool in 2003
. I wasn't best pleased .

 

[dasein]

Depends who the opposition is

If it's Norwich-furious
If it Exeter- exited

 

[stony]

A if we won. B if we lost. I find hindsight to be useful in circumstances like this.

I'd say a few on here would be at high risk of an aneurysm. I wouldn't mind tbh depending on how we'd done in the league cup.

 

[Ric]

You jinxed it.

But B for me.

B) Furious at the club for disrepcting the competition?

C) In total shock at Pellegrini's selecting any youngsters at all.

B.

Not saying always play your strongest team but Milner, Lallana, Allan could easily have played tonight.

 

[Damocles]

Be pissed off.

In the League Cup however I'm annoyed any time we don't turn out a team like Liverpool's tonight.

 

[the plasterer]

depends on the situation PB, if it was like liverpools where every fucker is injured, and cant run the risk of more injuris then no problem, if everyone is fit, then thats a different story, would go mental but with pellers in charge thats one thing we dont have to worry about

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

I'd be pissed off in the FA cup, we've got a lot of fringe players who need to do something to earn their money, not so much in the league cup though.

But B for me.

I did, didn't I.

I was furious when we arrived back late from Abu Dhabi last season as I thought it was disrespectful to our opponents and the competition. So I eouldn't be pleased if we turned out a team of 18/19 year olds.

Milner yes but don't get the rest of the post.

We could rest 11 players , and still play a team of internationals , comparing the dippers squad to ours is unfair , they are a club that used to be good ten years ago , they are not now , but they retain their massive asian/irish/scandanavian/yank support and have a few ex players pundits keeping their high profile in the premier league. Klopp will not be there next season , he will not hack the premier league and the lack of investment from the klanfield yank owners.

There seasoned and experienced international players who are (a) fit enough to play (b) in need of game time (c) would be a better option than recalling young lads from the lower leagues for the sake of 1 or perhaps 2 games

 

[kaz7]

Not happy,we need to go for every trophy
A couple of kids mixed in

The young lads look more useful than Allen though.

I agree with this, The FA Cup is one of the prestige tournaments in World football, and should be respected (as should your opponents), the LC should be for bedding in youngsters, giving them some game time alongside a few first teamers.
