Team v Liverpool

[thinktank]

Vorm, Rose, Dier, Alli, Lucas, Lamela, Llorente ​

 

[ShaunL84]

Rose needs to play against Mane.

 

[Streetspur77]

Rose needs to play against Mane.

Mane is in terrible form ATM

 

[thinktank]

Rose needs to play against Mane.

Davies was exposed against him last season due to us playing a suicidal 4231 up there iirc?

The way Davies is playing I'd start him at the end of a 5.

Rose is on the bench to come in if it's looking hairy for him against Mane/Salah.

 

[thekneaf]

I'd play Moura for the counter attack. I wouldn't want to start him so soon, but their pressing game is made for him to exploit.

Lloris
Toby Sanchez Verts

Kane—Son

Vorm, Trippier, Dier, Davies, Dembele, Lucas, Lamela

Vorm, Rose, Dier, Alli, Lucas, Lamela, Llorente ​

LOL

Dier and Dele both excellent against United.

Yeah, but let's drop them.

Who would you play them instead of, in that formation away to Liverpool?

 

[Matrix]

Same tactics as we played when we beat them earlier in the season. Counter attack all the way.

Assuming Aurier is not fit, I'd keep the exact same team as tonight. Liverpool away with their speed would be the worst possible game for Toby to return after a high grade hamstring tear. While Wanyama has looked well off the pace all season, both before and after his injury. Again, after such a long layoff Liverpool away would be the worst game for him to come back while he's out of touch.

Harsh on Sanchez, Trippier and Davies as they were magnificent v Man U.

You'd play 4231?

 

[ljinko888]

Mane starts on the left wing these days and looks a lesser player for it.

 

[Mr Pink]

Can Dembele play to the same standard again with a quickish turn around? If he can he's a shoe in.

Dele and Dier will start, you can be sure of it, Toby won't, he'll play against Newport - guaranteed.

We must go there to contain and counter, imperative. On that basis:

Lloris

Dier
Sanchez
Vertonghen

Trippier
Wanyama
Dembele
Davies

Eriksen

Kane
Son


I'd keep Dele in reserve for this one, as we need Son's pace for the counter. We need a strong and robust defensive set up. Anfield is a cauldron and and that solid core could allow us to a execute a counter attacking game plan.

Vorm, Davies, Wanyama, Lamela, Son, Lucas, Llorente

As I said, I'd go with the exact same team as tonight.

It would be madness to start Toby in this game given the nature of his injury and Wanyama has been well off the pace. They both should start against Newport next Thursday to get their touch back.

 

[glospur]

Rose needs to play against Mane.

Mane generally plays on the left now as Salah has taken his position on the right.

Doesn't necessarily mean the same formation.

Anyway, 4231 up there is asking for big trouble and likely getting it.

Take your point about Toby, but would still start him in a 5. Would start vic without any hesitation.

Rose is on the bench to come in if it's looking hairy for him against Mane/Salah.

Lets not forget also that Davies had only recently come into the starting line-up when that game came around. He's progressed a lot since then.

 

[dricha1]

No way Dier, Alli don’t start. I know it, you know it.

If 4 at back will be

Lloris
Trip
Sanchez
Vert
Rose

Dier
Wanyama

Son
Chris
Dele

Kane

Or if 5 at back;

Lloris

Trip
Dier
Sanchez
Very
Rose

Chris
Wanyama
Dele

Kane
