Interesting so many seem to want a 3 at the back formation. With the way liverpool play and how reliant they are on their wide men and fullbacks it seems to me it would be insane to lineup with wing backs, that would allow their fullbacks and wide men to completely dominate out wide and would drag our midfield which isnt especially mobile, all over the pitch.

I think the key is to make use of Ederson's passing ability to skip their front press on occasion. play balls just beyond the midfield for our wide players to collect and put us on the front foot immediately like we saw at goodison last season. Our problems against Liverpool stem from them pressuring us into mistakes high up the pitch allowing them to counter before we can adjust.I'm not suggesting we play long ball or anything but making them turn a few times can get us in but even if it doesn't, it forces them to drop an extra 5-10 yards through fear of that happening which in turn lessens the pressure on the ball when we do play our usual game.

Agree, whist this is what Pep prefers to play it was interesting to note midweek Ancelotti mentioned he put in an extra defender against the Dippers from what he learnt in the pre-season thrashing he received from them earlier on in the year.

The extra defender was meant to reduce the space, specifically for Mane, as well as provide an insurance policy should they get caught in possession from the Liverpool high- press.
 
"The 5-0, you could have won it under different circumstances. Sadio Mane being sent off. It was level at that stage"

Klopp-"True".


It was 1-0 you stupid dipshits and we also hit the post by then.

I hope we torture them tomorrow.

Kill their season Pep. Kill it with fire.

I'd start with this. They always target Fernandinho with their press, so we need a second pivot to help control the midfield and spring the counter. Keeping possession is key, bring on Sterling, Kevin and Marhez late on if we need them.

No. Bernado and David in the middle. If you are worried about Dihno, simply drop him for Stones. Don't make 4 positions worse, just to aid 1
