Yup, lets play a completely untested midfield partnership in what is probably our most important remaining league game.
Barry/Besic or Barry/McCarthy against Liverpool. Can't see him playing all 3 again, especially at home.
I totally agree with You. I think it should be McCarthy/Barry for the following reasons:
1, If the 3 of them play together then there's either no room for Barkley or Naismith; or one them just stucks to the wing which doesn't work.
2, Nearly 100 % sure that Barry will get a yellow so he won't be able to play against Chelsea: it's another reason to rest Besic for a match whilst McCarthy desperately needs game time
3, Mo at the last few games was used more as a switcher in front of Barry, it's safer not to play this card against faster teams, let Barkley/Naismith do this work ( Barry actually can make good passes to them in a more simple way)
So I would stick to Barry/Jmac at Saturday and after the inevitable yellow for Barry Besic/Jmac against Chelsea. That will be a risk too, but a defeat there is something nobody will be surprised of, whilst at Saturday with focused play it can be easily a win.
