Leicester's press didn't negate Silva in the slightest. We didn't lose because of a press at all. Quite the opposite. They sat back and put two long balls in for the first and third. The second was from a throw in when we fell asleep.Leicester's press negated Silva and we would have been better off with Yaya alongside Fernando for that game. Liverpool will try to start like Leicester did against us.

What's the situation re Sane ?
He is ideal to get at them, even as a sub, if he can keep his nerve.
Also, about time Serge pulled his thumb out of his arse. Usually, we need to score a few to win there. Well he is the best around & he's fresh as a daisy & their defenders are at least as bad as ours, probably worse. He would tear ours a new arsehole if he was playing for them & we would be shitting our pants now at the prospect of him coming back.
So do it for us, instead, game over.
we know the high press is coming and coming big, what has pep got in his locker to combat this.
has yaya got the legs for this game, sergio should be back i expect
such is our record at klanfield i'll take a draw right now
That last paragraph is sheer poetry mate (i seem to recall the former poet laureate Ted Hughes invented a special language for a play that was presented in Iran).I was there mate and Silva was non-existent. Leicester's physicality was a big factor linkedntontheir high temp pressing. Yes they played the long ball
Anfnour nidfieldmwasnt in the game until half-time.

For the record I think that as usual the dippers will own us in this fixture.
Two down after a few minutes, all of our midfield players were chasing the game, trying to force passes through the eye of a needle. I just dont think that there are many lessons to learn about our build up play from that game.
I wouldnt start Yaya at Liverpool. 2nd game in less than a week, he will be targeted by Klopp. Sterling and either Sane or Navas on the flanks.
Sterling and Sane on the wings is a must. Pool is a team it could be good to play long balls against, to counter against them, hope Pep dares to try this tactic
