Man City - Premier League - 8/11/20 - 16:30

[TheHowieLama]

Klopp getting his 11 best available players on the field - Jota and Mane both cover defensively very well

No Minamino on the bench?

Shaq seems to have come back into good graces, but still carrying Origi?? He has been brutal.

Bobby will surely drop into the middle to make that a 3 to help out. 6 defenders/midfielders to form a solid base and 4 attackers to do the damage

Yep

Yes, Minamino has been poor but he's still better than Origi.

[Aventus]

Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Torres, Sterling, Jesus 

 

SUBS | Steffen, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko, Bernardo, Foden, Garcia

 

Looking at their bench it seems they'll be banking on getting ahead then parking the bus. 

 

3 fucking centre backs, Pep is a mad bastard. 

[TheHowieLama]

Whats happened there with Mahrez - is he injured?

[Strontium]

Playing without a midfield is a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for us.

[3 Stacks]

It doesn't really mean much as the players will move around, but the team sheet is actually 4-2-2-2 with Jota and Firmino up top. Thought that was interesting.

[Daisy]

I don't like this formation

Hasn't been great recently to be fair. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Imagine the other side of it. Imagine having to worry about our 4 forwards.

Agreed, he's just not physical enough for the premier league.

We are going up again one of the best teams in the round and playing 4 up front from the kick off. This is going to be terrifying. 

I think the point is there are two holding players, so the full backs will be more defensive. And Firmino will have more of a pressing/defensive/marking job on City's midfielders. It won't  be as attacking as it looks, probably.

I think with all our best attacking/creative players on park anyway that the thinking may be that Origi at least if we are desperate may have a goal in him as opposed to Minamino/is a bit different.

Join the Dots....

[TheHowieLama]

If it is 4231 with Mane and Jota on the flanks we could be very difficult to find space against

[Section_31]

"We thought they might play four up front"

 

Did you fuck your Jersey Royal-headed fuck.

[Creator Supreme]

They're going to fucking fustigate us!

[Bjornebye]

How Red is the sky in Liverpool?! Hopefully its a sign. Last time it was like that we beat the other mancs.

Hendo when Bobby tries yet another pointless nutmeg and concedes the ball in their half. 

Hold it, hoooooold it!

[Bobby Hundreds]

I dont like all 4 forwards on. Bobby likes to play a bit risky for me to drop deeper into midfield. Klopp does have massive cajones though.

[Baltar]

We're going with a 4-2-4 formation like the Brazilian team of the 1950s. I like it.

[an tha]

All this talk of how open it looks, you watch us cancel each other out!

 

Fucking VAR better not play it's seemingly usual shite part either!
