Liverpool (H) - Sun 9th Nov, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

This match demands personality and audacity, and Cherki has plenty of that. He's the one who will demand the ball to escape the press, he's the one who will rally the crowd, making the stakes seem trivial and relieving the pressure that might otherwise overwhelm some players.

They'll probably have the same starting lineup as against Real Madrid, except for Gakpo replacing Wirtz.

We should start with the same lineup as against Bournemouth.

 

[IT and Me]

Donnarumma
Nunes
Dias
Gvardiol
Nico O
Nico G
Reijnders
Foden
Cherki
Doku
Haaland

I like it but think he might play Bernardo in this one.

That should boil some piss

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Pep going for a true left back with Rayan Aït-Nouri now available. Very harsh on Nico if that happens but it wouldn't be a stupid idea

I’d very very disappointed if that was the case. O’Reilly has past every test so deserves his place

Also, he’s very physical. The Real Madrid left back literally just took the ball off Salah twice in the first half in Tuesday so if O’Reilly can get stuck into him(with help from Doku) he could keep Salah reasonably quiet
