    Some liverpool fans would not mind him taking over so he will not be coming here with 10 quid to spend 

    Yes you are correct, I’m not saying it would be easy to entice him here but you never know. Would fit the style of play Knapper wants from his Head Coach.
    Doubt Liverpool will give him the main job, big job for someone to go in after Klopp.

    Very much in the Klopp mould = won't be coming to the championship.

    Got to start somewhere. This is a great place for an up and coming Head Coach or someone at a big club starting their journey as a Head Coach for the first time. See McKenna……

    If we are waiting until the end of the season to replace Wagner which it looks likely, I would love to see him replace Wagner. With Klopp leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, he is going to pursue his own career as a head coach in the summer.

    Been at PSV, Porto and Liverpool as a coach and Assistant Manager. So many Liverpool fans rate him very highly and he is very much in the Klopp mould.

    Aboh has been playing wonderfully for the u21s by all accounts- 9 goals in 11 games.

    Finley Welch also highly thought of.

    A largely meaningless cup game. 

    Instead of giving them a spot on the bench we'd rather have two keepers? Why would any young player think they've got a future here?

    Exactly this!

    Why not just leave the subs at home and completely throw the towel in?

     

    How is that throwing the towel in, no guarantee that you play our full strength team it wins. What’s our priority League or FA Cup? For me it’s the League all day long. We need to see how Lima performs if we want to make that deal permanent. If the players I picked perform to their capabilities they would have too much for a mid table league 1 team in Bristol Rovers.

    Do you think Liverpool will play a full strength team against us or will they play a mixture of first team, squad and youth players if we get through? If you want to know the answer have a look at their line-up against us at Carrow Road in September 2021!

    So, play a drastically weaker and more disjointed than we did where we almost lost the first tie? With a chance of a lucrative trip to Anfield on the line?

    Got to be a lot stronger and more cohesive than that to stand a chance. Rovers aren't a pushover at all.

    Long is awful, Barden was competent and assured when he has played for us before. Not much difference in McCallum and Giannoulis defensively. McLean at CB is better than Gibson and Batth and he will be able to dictate play from there as we should have more of the ball. Warner deserves a chance as he didn’t put a foot wrong when he has played against higher quality players than Bristol Rovers. Fisher stays at RB.

    It was a horrible team selection in the home game against them to play Gibbs and Forshaw (holding midfielders) and 2 strikers. That puts massive pressure on the 2 wingers to create something.

    Could play either Welch or Forsyth, both deserve a chance as they have been playing well in u21’s. If you’re not going to play players like Lima, Welch, Forsyth and Aboh etc in a cup game against Bristol Rovers when are you going to know if they can cut it? You will basically end up in situations like Matos all the time.

    Still got players like Hernandez who has got a couple of assists lately and was our best player against Bristol Rovers and Fassnacht who scored in his last game. I also feel it would be the perfect game for Idah as well, no point risking Sargent.

    Not really sure how this is a 'drastically’ weaker team.

    Daniel Crowley at Notts County looks like he could easily make the step up from League 2 and wouldn’t cost much. 10 goals this season already.

    Cashin from Derby would be a brilliant signing. Ball playing CB who is left footed. Heavily linked with Brighton already so would be a real coup if we got him.

    If you start Idah, then you have to simply play to his strengths and have the right creative players around him. Sounds simple but if you don’t play balls into channels for him and over the top then he isn’t going to thrive.

    I would like to see Sargent and Idah paired together at some point.

    If it is true that Gibson is now our highest earner after Krul and Pukki left then I should imagine that the club is counting down the days to 30th June 2024 to get him off the payroll. 

    Should imagine he'll back to Middlesbrough in the summer to play for his uncle?

    Pukki was our highest paid player at £50k a week. So yes Gibson is now our highest paid at 40k (ouch) a week. Krul was on 25k when he left.

    Gibson and Middlesbrough still seems like a good fit.

    We know he has qualities at this level but individual moments of brilliance aren’t going to get you in the team as they are not guaranteed and teams can’t carry players awaiting those moments!     He needs to show consistency and influence over a full 30 minutes, then 60, then 90 minutes.   In his position, he needs to control games. 

    Quoting goals against Hull or Birmingham fails to appreciate that players need to offer more than individual moments.

    So a player is expected to come on for 5 minutes or no minutes at all (R’ham) and control a game?

    So individual moments of brilliance don’t help you getting in the team? When Nunez plays, we hardly “carry him awaiting those moments”.

    If he played more regularly those moments would happen much more frequently. As for controlling games, I would say Central Midfield is where a game is won and lost, so much more important for a Sara or McLean to control the game. Nunez playing in AM is all about flair, technique and creativity which he has in abundance.

    How is Nunez supposed to play consistently well, when he has never had a constant run in the team. If you are starting one week and then out of the team for the next 3 games it is hard to find any kind of form. 
    Has everyone forgot that volley against Birmingham at home, the technique for that! I’m pretty sure if he was given a run in the team in AM he would start to get good numbers in terms of goals and assists.
