There is nothing wrong with our midfield

[Unrighteous]

I hope our midfield looks a bit different when Can returns, because right now, our midfield is as useful to a cleansheet, as a broken condom is to birth control.

West Ham did not want to know today, and the exact second they came under pressure this midfield disappears.

 

I have never known a CM to disappear as often as Gini does away from home.

[J-V]

Gini's shit to expect anything from him is madness.

Sorry but that is utter bollocks. If you think Wijnaldum disappeared in todays game you need a trip to the optician.

I don't understand this at all.

 

How can be blackmailing you and Klopp at the same time?

[Grinch]

There's a lot wrong with it without Coutinho. Even the likes pf that Lanzini would improve us. Someone not shit scared to beat a man and make something happen.

[VladimirIlyich]

I don't remember anyone complaining about that midfield!

People complain about everything on here. Ray Kennedy used to get fearful stick on the Kop too,in his day.

Gini had a really good game I thought.

Lanzini is a good player, not really a midfielder though, is he? Took his goal well.

He's a midfielder in the same sense that Coutinho and Lallana are. Yesterday and most of this season we've had a full midfield of workhorses without a bit of creativity between them.

 

It works as long as Mane, Salah and Firmino, get the ball, create and score themselves.

The gegenpress creates the goals, man!

 

Playmaker extraordinaire!

gegenpress will be back when Adam's back and back up to full fitness in the team.

What do you reckon our midfield will be when we have all of Coutinho, Lallana, Salah and Mane to choose from? Do you reckon Klopp will pick them all with just Henderson or Can in behind?

[Grinch]

I can't see Coutinho and Lallna ever playing midfield in the same team.  I know they did once in a diamond but thats a whole other thing.

[stringvest]

Klopp relies on Lallana.  He'll play.

How tho?

 

Like a diamond permanently or both in a 3

I don't know.  Maybe him and Coutinho as the forward two in a midfield 3.  But then again, who knows what injuries we'll pick up between now and the end of the year?

I don't know, time will tell I'm sure.  I just can't see the pair ever being a regular midfield pairing and Coutinho better not be replacing mane or salah.

 

It does just take one injury to have them both back in the team tbf.

So apart from the back 5, we field 5 attacking midfielder and Jordan Henderson?

Those are probably the best players - although it would mostly likely be Firmino as centre forward with Mane and Salah in a 433. But we'd be relying solely on pressing the opposition for any amount of defence, a big risk.

[TheHowieLama]

The chances of those 11 players being available at the same time is zero.

[G Richards]

It will be interesting to see how it pans out. A friend of mine over here (Everton fan, poor chap) watched our game yesterday and said we’re starting to move on without Coutinho. Food for thought.
