[Tassie Devil]

Not many options

AGree. Which is why I'm worried. Maybe play Fabinho there and Phillips at CB?

 

[Tassie Devil]

Against Leicester City I'd go:

Alisson

Milner
Matip
Fabinho
Robertson

Wijnaldum
Keita
Jones

Jota
Mane
Firmino

Hopefully they get the job done.

Exactly as you said. Will be interesting in that midfield.

It all depends on Keita in this game I think. If he can maintain structure, and shape then we'll have a good chance of winning. They pull himout of position, and the other half being Jones .... I think we could struggle.

Going to be an interesting one to watch for sure!

 

[Tassie Devil]

Actually. Probably would've played SHaq in front of Jones personally but he's out injured too. Forgot about him. Anyone know how long he's out injured for?

 

[Tassie Devil]

Doign OK so far. 2-0 up at halftime. Take that.

Again the decision making of Mane has been a little off. Could've easily have had 1 or 2 more. Leicester haven't done much, but we're still giving them a little too much space in the middle.

Milner has been great at RB so far. Gotta have Gini, Keita and JOnes tighten up that middle though. Too much space.

Half to go. Let's get an early one to push us further in front. Not sure it'll happen though. Expect a really really tough second half.

Dude ok is a bit of a harsh summation. We have been pretty dominant. Leicester have really only had 1 clear cut chance otherwise they have barely got a look in!!

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

We should be up 7-0.
What an awesome performance from a fantastic football team.
They are a joy to watch.

Ha. Yes, of course. Sorry. It was a harsh summation. But I stick to it in that I think we should've scored a few more. High expectations of this team

That was some performance considering the players out, and the lack of rest a majority of them had from international duty. Absolutely outplayed, and outclassed one of the form teams of the EPL atm.

Keita's injury is a big blow ... fucking hell that guy is forever injured. Imagine he's out for a good 2-3 weeks at least now!

Credit to that team tho. Fucking mentality monsters.

 

[Tassie Devil]

How the fuck Bobby didn't score before that header though. FUcking hell.

 

[Freakzilla]

So my lineup went ok...

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Against Leicester City I'd go:

Alisson

Milner
Matip
Fabinho
Robertson

Wijnaldum
Keita
Jones

Jota
Mane
Firmino

Did Klopp send you the team sheet?
You nailed the lineup, which nailed the result.
Well played

Nah, I sent it to Klopp lol

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Just finished watching the game, very good performance. Jota is basically our front 3 combined at this point lol, Cujo, Gini and Naby we're very strong in midfield for the most part... unfortunate about Naby, physically he looks good and makes some great runs and then bam he goes down...

Bobby looked miles better and was linking up much better with the midfield and frontline, Robbo gives me a stiffy while Fabinho just slots into CB so easily, is he even a DM playing CB or is he a CB that played DM?!

Yeah Fabinho needs to be a CB from now on who plays a little DM when needed.

Keita hadn't played for 5 weeks and then his international coach plays him 2 full games the past 10 days. That's why he got injured again.

It will be interesting to see what Klopp does when everyones back, though we probably won't see that for a while lol. Happy for him to play either role.

International break always fucks him, same as Shaqiri. It's like the club needs to monitor them 24/7 and if they don't something almost always goes wrong.

We were overloaded in midfield at the start of the season.

Currently we've got Gini, Jones, Milner (who'll be playing right back most of the time) and potentially Minamino.

That's Hendo, Thiago, OX, Fabinho (CB), Shaq, Keita all out. Madness.

We had Trent, Gomez, VVD, Thiago, Hendo, and Salah all out last night. 6 who would've been starting the game if fit. And we still got an incredibly impressive win.

Going by Klopp's comments after the game (fuck he gave it to the TV broadcasters), it seems as though he's going to make mas changes for the Brighton game on Saturday. They've gotta rest both CBs soon. I'd say one per game. Plus Gini. He's just come back from internationals (3 I think).

Minamino really needs to step up I think. Absolute shame about Shaq as he would've got alot of game time. Hope he's fit soon! Anyone know about his injury?

At full strength our best lineup would be 1 of these 3:

A)

Alisson

TAA
Fabinho
VVD
Robertson

Henderson
Thiago

Jota
Firmino
Mane

Salah

B)

Alisson

TAA
Fabinho
VVD
Robertson

Henderson
Thiago
Wijnaldum/Keita

Jota
Mane
Salah

C)

Alisson

TAA

Gotta have Fabinho in the midfield though, surely?

Will be interesting seeing how he goes about the midfield as I think the back 4 and front 3 are pretty much decided? On form you'd have to start jota over Firmino.

So how does he go about the midfield? Or he changes formation, as you've done above, and goes with a front four?

He did that in the biggest game of the season so far aginst Man City. I'd prefer a front 3 and just rotate the 4 from game to game. Literally every game a different person rests.
