OMG yes! I had two wishes for this team selection:

- play Zinchenko over Laporte and Walker
- play a false 9

He’s done both! Mahrez false 9 again is my bet.

Maybe Sterling wide left and Foden false nine?

I’ve got this real visceral excited feeling in the pit of my stomach seeing their centre backs and midfield. I think we can absolute obliterate these today. I think we’re going to see something spectacular. It reminds me of the 1-0 derby in 11/12 when I saw the rags team sheet and just knew they were shit.

I’d have gone Jesus over Sterling but Raz will be well up for it, best chance he’s got of sticking it to them at Anfield without gets dogs abuse from their fans which does seem to affect him

The dippers backroom staff will still give him dogs of abuse

Remember a certain Chelsea home game where some fans were complaining about Zinny being selected, played a blinder. Hardly ever let’s us down and we are much more fluent when he plays.

You have a guy like Zinchenko who can’t defend for his fucking life. You have a Sterling who’s had an awful form for the past 4-5 month, unable to finish pretty much everything coming his way. And then he puts Mahrez in there who is as predictable as a sunrise and pretty much never fights for the ball and run.

This line-up will probably cost us. Unbelievable. Pep never learns.

Right because we've had such little success and joy as a result of Pep.

Fucking knew Allison, Fabinho, and Mane would all make miraculous recoveries.

I'm as shocked as you are...

That scared of being docked he's rested them for a few games.

I’m surprised VVD isn’t playing too

I hope you mean ji?

Well you have 18000 odd ;-)

Similar to Chelsea game. Mahrez false 9 (KDB) (not as good ofc) Foden and Sterling wide

It’s the exact same 11 as West Brom (5-0). Mahrez played false 9 that day.

Guess he needs a teacher - after all, he’s won nothing
