If we can go off this pre-season I'm closer to getting in the side than Wilson. He seems a million miles away from being considered for any one of his positions. Might be so, but in my opinion he is a better full back than Cameron. I always want us to put the staring 11 I prefer on the pitch! I aren't sure he is but Wilko and Shotton are imo better than the pair of them. All three (Shotton, Wilko and Wilson) though don't look to be in the immediate plans of the manager from the looks of things so far. Of course it's only pre-season and that can easily change.

Looking at our bench makes not sending a few of them to Macclesfield yesterday look even more strange imo. Unless we're going to make 11 changes at HT: Soro Wilko Shotton Muniesa Wilson Kightly Palacios Cuvelier Walters Jones Jerome That makes no sense imo. They all need to be playing 60 minutes+ now I think. Mixing the first team and U-21 squads and then splitting them for the two games seemed the best plan to me. And lets not forget that Butland won't be getting a game either. I'm worried our players will be under cooked.

Wilson is probably pining for TP - and a regular start at LB. It is weird though. I thought he'd be a very likely starter at RB. So did I mate I can only imagine that he wants two overlapping full backs. That would then narrow it down Shotton and Cameron for right back I suppose, and with Geoff having the better final ball than Shotton, maybe that's why he seems to be getting the nod. I know it's only friendlies, but it does seem as though Hughes is quite settled on his back four.

Wrexham AFC ?@wrexham_AFC 56s Ryan Shawcross has a word with Begovic after the skipper almost diverts the ball past him.

I thought Wilson looked decent in the game last week. Just a case of him adapting to a new position - which he is quite capable of doing. In the long run he would be a better option than anyone else at RB and could potentially be a pretty decent CM too.

Crouch should have done better there. Huth headed down the corner into the big striker's path. He swipes at it more in hope than expectation
There's a shock

Sounds like Crouch is doing his upmost at the moment to ensure that MH invests in a new striker pronto.!

I'm sure the team that starts at Anfield will be nothing like the team that starts after the transfer window closes

That side screams out lack of pace. If we are going to start the new season with this team we are in big trouble. Pennant and Etherington are past it and we don't even have an option to replace them from the bench. The squad is massively unbalanced. We have wilson, Wilko and Shotton on the bench as right backs and are starting with Cameron who has never looked convincing there. We are crying ut for a couple of tricky, pacy wide players who can make something happen. Crouch needs a pacy attacking player around him if it's to work but instead we have Charlie Adam. The squad needed a massive overhaul this summer but it hasn't happened. We've filled the left back position which is one positive but there is still much to do. Agree with most of that. It's baffling that Wilson can't get a place in the starting line-up. The only reason I can think of is that Hughes is confident in Wilson and happy to leave him out of a friendly while he gives Cameron another chance to impress.

Or he thinks the sun doesn't shine out of Wilson's arse like some of us do? At this point in pre-season I can't see why he wouldn't be starting if he wasn't in his starting XI plans. I think barring a transfer or two this will be the starting XI at Anfield.

Wilson hoofs it too much. He did it when playing midfield against the American teams.

In my head that equates to sun shining out of his backside! I do like Wilson but if someone offered a decent amount he'd be gone for me, I just can't see where he fits in as a starter.
