It's a back 3 mate.

With pep it's best to say back 3 seems more likely, a back four does seem to involve a bit too much square pegs but if the 3 isn't working it can become a back 4. I think he is covering his bases without the need for an early sub. The omission of Sergio and kompany is pretty worrying for them.

Or maybe Pep's just sticking with the inform team that has put themselves in the position to move into 2nd place tonight?

No Sky have said so....

The guy has been slated for making changes, he's sticking with a settled side and not shifting the whole shape of the team to accommodate Aguero so it's over for him.
If it's over for Konpany it must be over Otamendi too!

just hope we score more than them.

Most would accept that.

why does vinnie remain a risk?...inside info???????

Vinny isn't a risk. The soaking wet muddy pitch is the risk.

Sensible not to risk his knee in that environment considering the weather effect on fields this weekend.

Bravo has been dropped,you need to get your head around that

I know he has and if you read my earlier post you will note I am happy with Willy in nets. If your ok to read Bravo is shite, then carry on, I am simply stating he isn't. As for Bill claiming to know what the team think and if Bravo plays, we lose irrespective of the ten outfield players is talking sense is it?

Let's face it - anything could happen.
Only hope complacency isn't a factor.

the bravo mistake has left us a huge hill to climb and the time it took him to (and its still not great) sort out the defensive side of our game) has also left us with a hill to climb.....but of course we can do it and the attacking football we are playing at present is fantastic......can we play like this against the best....we did it vs spurs but defensively we were short in that game....can we do it vs the red scouse, chelski ???? those two are the big tests for me due to the way they play (esp the red scouse with their intense high pressing)

That intense pressing you talk of has seen them burn in the last month, it's a requisite of a Klopp team, it's also flawed...

I actually expect a back 3 with fern dropping into CB when Bournemouth are in possession.
