Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

I'd have Sane instead of Merlin everything else fine.

L'pool would be glad not to have to deal with the magician.

Thought Mendy was injured.

Yeah and Liverpool would be glad not to deal with Sane, who has a good scoring record against them.

If Fern plays as our only DM we will definitely get beat, the guy needs help in there, I can't understand how people don't see this.

Does anyone think we could use Vinny as a DM, him and Fern sitting in front of a back 3/4 , I keep forgetting Vinny has played as a DM before under Hughes, good tackler, can read the game, we do look light weight in the midfield areas.

Didn’t he try Stones next to Fernandinho last night?

Many do,as is shown by their team formations/preferences

 

[Easy]

We need 3-5-2 in this game if not Mendy then Zinchenko. Zin will have Laporte next to him to help control Salah. With this formation they won’t be able to target Fernandinho given he’ll have more options to pass to.

Sterling as SS next to Kun. Unfortunately Sane would miss out but we could always bring him on to change the game against tired legs. Stones is a must start. Would even have Danilo at RB as he is much better in the final third and this formation would not leave us as exposed so Walker’s pace won’t be that important.

I really think this formation would cause them all sorts of problems and we would finally win at Anfield.

4-3-3 and they will target Fern and play long balls to Salah and Mane to try expose our back line which at times is ridiculously easy i.e last night.

Both Silvas should play. Neither shirks a challenge and both work hard.
