GET THE TEAM LEAKED!!

[an tha]

Matip in and all 4 forwards....wow!

[liverpoolsno9]

Jota and Bobby starting, never seen that one coming.

Seen this line up (pinch of salt obviously):

 

Alisson

Trent
Matip
Gomez
Robertson

Henderson
Wijnaldum

Salah
Jota
Mane

Firmino

 

But we've drifted to 4's on the exchanges (from 3.55) overnight, so guessing we're missing a player that many that don't know about.

 

Bang on.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

4231.

Matip starts.

Hendo and Gini in Midfield.

Phillips is the only defender on the bench.

Too wide open for a game like this in my view, but....

[an tha]

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jota, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Jones, Shaqiri, Origi, Phillips.

Allisson Trent Matip Gomez Robbo Henderson Gini Jota Bobby Salah Mane 

[Mark M]

Need Bobby to step up today big time. 

[Sweeney287]

Going for it, nice

Yeah so its the old 4 - 2 - 3 -1. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Not a fan of the formation tbh, I think we're a man light in midfield.

 

I'd have gone with Jonesy ahead of Bobby tbh but fuck it, batter them.

True but what he really need is the midfield to do great work, otherwise we are going to be seriously open. "Protecting the attack" will be more important than ever with that formation but I have confidence in them to do it. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

It helps that we've got captain fantastic Hendo, the most under rated player in world football. 

[suzy]

Exciting line up!

come on!

[bizzle10]

Not sure about 4231 formation leaves us light in mid field,thought he might go with atlanta team plus keita and matip

[Red74]

Didn’t we go 4-2-3-1 away to villa as well. Good omen this

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

No. 4-3-3 with Jota in place of Mane.

[an tha]

They'll look for Gundogan and Rodrigo to win midfield battle and give DeBruyne plenty of ball as the extra man in there....

 

If we can defend that ok/shut it down and get enough ball in there and get it forward enough we'll create chances.

 

Could be anything this.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Take our chances and no stupid mistakes and we win.

 

Unless VAR...

This. We miss him as much as Alisson. 

 

Not keen on playing all 4 of our forwards though. 

[Supremolad]

Think Klopp might be pulling a surprise by playing Bobby as an 8 today. Reckon it would still be our normal 433 shape. Jota up top with Salah and Mane either side.

 

Dont think we are going to be risking playing 2 in midfield all game vs City.

[NoelM]

No Minamino on the bench?

[Stickman]

I was going to watch this from behind the couch but that line up is a bit too giddy for a negative cunt like me so I’m taking the dog for a long long long walk .....

These are the days I wish I had a dog, even a a hot dog would do. Behind the couch it is for me.
