    Was offered a ticket and had originally planned on going but not bothering now.

    The thought of watching forrest and Yang trying to break down Livi isn't inviting me either.

    I think we need to play what Rodgers thinks his best 11 are here and try to generate some momentum to carry forward to Almaty. Its early in the season so players shouldnt be feeling the minutes too much.

    Get the game won early and make the subs then

    The thing is although I agree with you, it’s not the players fault. They should not be near 1st team starters but here we are. I heart our board so much.

    Near full strength I would guess. We simply don't have the options to make many changes atm. Personally I'd go Sinisalo, Ralston, CCV, Trusty, KT, Bernardo, CalMac, McCowan, JF, Maeda, Yang.

    McCowan at LB? McGregor surely he's played there before.

    Nygren might start on the right in this one with Engles coming in.

    No injuries as we're threadbare and 3pts. Thats it. Reduced to the bare minimum requirements at this stage of the season such is the state of our management.

    Schmeichel

    Ralston
    Pusey
    Trusty
    Inamura

    Bernardo
    Engels
    McGowan

    Yang
    Idah
    Osmand

    Idah is in cause there's no one else and I wamt Maeda there and fit for the 2nd leg.

    The next 10 days sure are intriguing - cruicial, even. I'd rather be us than them, though; at least we'll still have a manager by next week.

    I don't anticipate any problems here: 2-0 against Livi, 1-2 against Kairat and 1-2 against them.

    Bring it on!

    Not sure we'll see massive rotation as we still nedd to get the starting 11 firing.

    Unfortunately I think it’s clear he’s not even willing to give Inamura a chance just now.

    Be surprised if Rodgers' ego lets him give Inamura a chance in a real game now, not after his snide comments about him specifically this week and 'club' signings before. Just ignore that we all saw him in pre-season and he looked a really good fit for games we dominate possesion domestically. Too many attempts at positive forward passing instead of going back to the keeper every time I suppose.

    Pre-season is totally different to actual competitive games. Rodgers actually did say he may need to have rethink after a few games. He clearly isn’t looking ready in training. Which wouldn’t come as a shock in all honesty.
