Yeah, because he's lit it up on the right so far, hasn't he?

I'm saying that's the likely alternative, not that Jota is prime Messi on the right, relax, mate.

[lebron]

Personally, I'd like us to go something like this;

 

---------------------Allison--------------------

Gomez----Konate----Van Dijk---Robertson

------Keita-------Henderson----Milner-----

----Ox------------Firmino---------Diaz----

 

The onus is on them to score goals. This would allow us do defend well as well as being a threat on the counter. Our setup depends on how much Sunday's game will have taken out of us, I guess. If Klopp has gotten sufficient guarantees about our players recovery and fitness, we might go full strength. He's always prioritised the CL when with us, so even if I'd like him to I can't imagine he'll field a weakened side to prepare for the FA cup semi (even if it's City awaiting us).

May as well give a run out to the most beleagured trio since Scouting for Girls, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain.

They were number one at the time of the above mentioned game

There is no alternative for Salah on the right, and any alternative would be experimental.

 

That's my point.

 

Offering up "Jota" as a reponse to that doesn't make you clever mate.

I don't disagree. I just think you're a twat, so I wanted to argue to annoy you.

 

But I don't think it's absolutely critical that Salah starts if the rest of the starting 11 is strong. It's not like he's playing well anyway.

[aws]

We've only seen glimpses when players have been switching positions  but Diaz has looked like he might be the best bet to cover Mo on the right. And by " best bet" I mean he hasn't looked completely out of place.  

[sir roger]

I think Tsimikas has been a bit unfairly treated games-wise, particularly as Robbo hasn't been on top form for a good while.

[an tha]

I'd make some changes for this...freshen things up a touch.

 

Alisson

 

TAA       

Konate         

Van Dijk         

Tsimikas

 

Keita         

Henderson         

Jones

 

Jota         

Firmino         

Diaz

 

Still a massive game with a job to be done, but that side should have enough and will give 1 or 2 a much needed rest/protect 1 or 2 too.

Agreed. But Ali, VVD, the full backs, fabinho and Thiago and Salah must start

We’d have to be fucking stupid to start Salah in this.

Same, he’s been good nearly every time he’s played.

Youre scared to leave him on the bench against a shit Benfica side, when we’re 3-1 up.

 

You know why he needs rested now.

[Barnesey]

I think hendo is spared too. Doesn’t have 90 mins in him right now and big game satdee

Thanks! Thats a 7am kick off for me Thursday morning.

I bet your weather is still better than our shitty weather even if you are in the depths of Winter. Expect to see the Kop freezing to death.

I dont think think we can take it for granted we are through. We need to bury these in the first half.
