Being careful would be not having Lewis anywhere near Salah, Gakpo, Nunes, Jota, Diaz and co.

Ok then Nunes or a back three. You may not like Lewis fair enough. I just think three games in a week for the new young defender is too much.
 
Can't see anything but a loss...they are a slightly lesser version of Madrid....quick and clinical upfront and physically dominant in midfield.....there is no combination in midfield that we gave to counter it......

Ederson
Khusonov dias ake gvardiol
Nico kova
Savihbio Haalaand Marmoush

I literally can't see who we play as the third in midfield.....

Play kdb - we add creativity ( not at the level previously however) but we have problems defensively
Play bernrdo or foden.....lack of creativity...and legs

Gundo - adds nothing
Nunes....not good enough

Put grealish on the lett and marmoush central.???? .lack of creativity out wide...is he fit ....is he mentally on it ....too many questions about him off the pitch now

They are going to throw the kitchen sink at us especially after dropping points again tonight
 
They still look a bit off the boil and have played a lot recently but their energy in midfield will destroy us.

Nico, Kovacic, Foden would be my three with Sav, Marmoush, Haaland up top if the big man is fit.

Liverpool always raised their game against us despite their shite form. Now it is our turn. Even the rags got something against them when they were dominant.
 
Ederson
Nunes
Khusanov
Ake/Dias
Gvardiol
Nico
Kovacic
Bernardo
Savinho
Marmoush
Haaland

On the basis stones is out. Dias and ake it's a case of whoever is fittest, both seem far less than 100% if both are unavailable, were looking at Rico Lewis against Salah which isn't worth contemplating.

Need the most energy we can put out in midfield, that's Nico, kovacic and bernardo. Savinho has to play, marmoush and Haaland make the front 3, if haaland isn't fit, put doku in on the left, savinho right and marmoush upfront.

This isnt the game to start Kdb, why have him waste 80% of limited batteries chasing shadows having fee chances to actually do his thing, bring him on for 20-30 minutes to get the best impact possible from him.

Seriously, I know he's been brilliant in the past ,,but why bernardo,,what exactly have you seen of him this season that i haven't,,no pace,no skill,no creativity,,,,not sure actually what he's done this season,,he's not alone by the way

Yeah would be much happier with Nunes if he feels the new lad will struggle with three games so close. Personally think he could handle it though as he’s progressing nicely.
 
....... . .Haaland
Grealish-Marmoush-Doku
........Kovacic
................Nico
Gvardiol-Ake-Dias-Khusanov

no point starting Bernardo or Gundo or even Foden imo in this one. they are tired, old or out of form. a quick Liverpool side gonna show them up for all these.

Bernardo does a lot of work off the ball that the TV cameras don't show. Without him we'd be a lot worse off. Bernardo's effectiveness has seen a drop off because of the rest of the team not doing thr work. he's often left trying to do the job of not just 2 players but 3 or 4 and then it becomes an impossible task, hes played around like hes not there and it looks a bit pointless but the 1 person doing the work isn't the problem, it's the fact he's the only 1.

ALso Bernardo hates Liverpool, I'd always put my trust in him against that mob. If we're going to get smashed in our own back yard, he'll at least show some fight.
 
Haaland has had scans according to Pep, and it's all clear. But he feels pain walking and climbing stairs. It doesn't sound to me like he will be fit to play.

We have too many injuries to win this game, but you never know. They are beginning to struggle.

For the first time this season, I am beginning to think Arsenal might do it.

Their blip will be a couple of draws. Dippers will walk this league IMO. Besides Gooners will struggle without a striker!

The same Arsenal that bottle it every year - absolutely no chance

We may as well get the Silvo out and polish the cup and let liverpool take it back with them (save on shipping costs)
