Liverpool (h) pre-match thread

I'd go with Sergio and Jesus together on this one

Maybe Pep’s vehement defence of Zinchenko after Southampton is because he knew he’ll get the nod for this one.

And maybe not. If I see him line up at LB I can only see one outcome tonight

You have to play Sterling.

Can't remember a good game that Sterling has had against the dippers, but i suppose you can't bench him either? For some mad reason he seems to have a mental breakdown against them, maybe its simply the booing (but he gets booed everywhere) or maybe he just can't get over the barrier of how he left. Either way i think we should start to help him by cheering him as loud as possible every time he touches the ball, going over the boo's.

Put sterling on Robertson and attack him
Keep him back and get him booked
Looked shaky the other night when attacked by Maitland-Niles
Put sane on Arnold and attack
Also target Fabinho get him booked early as he dives in
Need to take less risk in defence they want an open game

I'd be more confident if I knew who is going to play at left-back. That said, we'll see if the serial bottlers are up to it when the champions put them under pressure.

Robertson is certainly suspect and Sterling should be able to exploit that.

Its like black shed said weve got to pick up all these loose balls and bad passes, thats where a lot of their goals come from, they pick them up then they attack at pace. Weve got to be first in there get control of the ball then hit them on the brake

Needs home crowd right behind him
Also need to pressure ref when Milner fouls every player one by one!

 

[inbetween]

More worried about their work rate than their front 3, they have an average team but they have always turned up and done it this year.

We just need to turn it up tonight, scoring the first goal should be enough.
