I think leaving Sinclair our would be pretty harsh at the moment.

It would have been a few weeks ago but he's been pretty much invisible since the Sunderland game. We can't afford to keep players in the team if they aren't contributing, and theres nothing wrong with rotating the squad and competition for places. Obviously Gabby needs to be dropped before Sinclair, but with new players finding their feet and coming back from injury then theres simply no place for passengers on match day.

Sinclair and Richardson for Gestede and Veretout.

Sinclair does put in a shift covering Amavi, edges it over Gil on that basis.

Gestede dominated Liverpool last year in the cup but think Amavi's mobility with Grealish and Sinclair supporting is the way to go. Gestede, Gil and maybe Traore waiting in the wings, nice to have proper options.

The longer we can frustrate the crowd the better our chances, they are baying for the head of Rodgers up there, if we can keep it tight and Nick a goal it could get very messy for liverpool

Gabby to start in goal.   Then bring Guzan on a half time.  Now that's a 'plan'.

Guzan
Hutton Richards Clark Amavi
Westwood Sanchez Gana
Gil / Ayew Grealish
Gabby (I know, but he always plays well there)

If we cut out the individual errors, we'll win.

Like the look of that team. Got a feeling he will bring on Traore on for the last half hour. And after their "tiring" mid week game. He is the last player that defence will want to see ......0-2 UTV .........

With Gestede taking the corners .

[Toronto Villa]

Really disappointed to hear Lovren isn't fit.

Hopefully Ayew will have gained confidence from his performance in midweek. Likewise Vertout who came more into the game the longer it went on and is obviously a talent.

for me, my friends, my family,
and because of my location,
this is a 110% must win
