Midtjylland (H) Champions League - 27/10/20 - 20:00

[AngryofTuebrook 17,902]

Strong defence, second-string front three.  Should be OK.

Looks like it

Or a 4-3-3 with Miamino at the point of the three. 

 

Not much difference in all honesty

Think it would be a big difference - Origi is useless on the wing (in this case he would be on the right) and Minamino has always looked better with someone in front of him. Plus he has been useless in front of goal.

And it would have Shaq in a midfield three with the old boys, which.....

[Lee909 11,460]

In mean a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1 isn't that much difference if the 433 is 2 deep and 1 ahead instead of our normal 1 deep and two ahead. 

 

Origi should be up top here though with Jota and Shaqiri wide

Origi, Miamino and Shaqiri start

Front three rested 

Benched ?

[The Guest 1,769]

Good to see Shaq getting a start.  Also not surprised to see Jones not getting one.

[Anubis 17,264]

Weeble will be in midfield I’d imagine.

Twatterati say team is:

 

Alisson
Trent
Gomez
Fabinho
Robertson
Henderson
Milner
Shaqiri
Minamino
Origi
Jota

Confirmed then.

 

These fuckers on twatter are spot on more often than not.

[dockers_strike 1,957]

Hmmmm. Would rather he'd started Mo, Bobby and Sadio then taken them off at 3-0 if Im honest. We've got 5 subs that can be used and I hope we're not having to sling them on with 30 minutes left.

[Jordy Brouwer 416]

Am I right in thinking this isn't on Sky?

Champions league... all on BT

[Jordy Brouwer 416]

Yeah just seems to be BT Sport. Damn. 

[Kevin D 7,426]

Very arrogant team selection from a man who was Dean Smith'd less than a month ago.

I think they have to have a proper rest from time to time and we won't play many worse teams than these, so good time to get them a rest.

 

With Jota now the drop off is not as big as it was.

 

Normally i'd agree with you, but way this season is scheduled is mad and breathers are gonna be very few and far between.

[Jordy Brouwer 416]

The rest players have had is really low. We do need to rotate. Also players like Shaq are fine. 

[3 Stacks 2,370]

These really aren't as bad as people think. They've got loads of pace and height. No other choice but to rotate, though. Too many matches in short order.

[an tha 5,852]

Rangers beat these 7-3 on agg last season....

[Elite 8,603]

I remember the last time we rested players against a European juggernaut.

Then maybe we can sue them under the Trades Descriptions Act.

 

But yeah the last game has barely finished of course we need to rotate.

Definitely be an own goal.

[The Golden Eel 3,919]

My money would be on Shaqiri on the right, Origi through the middle, Jota on the left and Minamino playing where Firmino played the other day.

Quiz nights in years to come:

 

Quiz Master: "Who scored the 10,000th goal in Liverpools history"

 

Team: "Ah frigging hell i remember it was about 2020 or so.....erm Salah, Mane, maybe Alexander Arnold off a free kick....Big Virgil off a corner, oh hang on though he was out all that season due to that dirty little shithouse t-rex.....Firmino - oh hold on i think it was at home so no chance!....oh go for Salah dead obvious but probably right..."

 

Quiz Master: "The answer is Erik Sviatchenko with an OG"

[magicrat 6,348]

Hard to get excited with that forward line .  Origi has been brutal in his limited appearances of late.
