4231 or 442 whatever fills your fancy. I'm really surprised he's gone with it.

424

 

Brave selection from Jürgen.

Yeah that's what I meant. Weirdly trent said last week it was a 442 when it was clearly a 424.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Get on the front foot. Fuck their shit up.

 

We need our finishing to be sharper than Tuesday. Having said that, Arsenal won't be as negative as Rangers, so maybe there will be more room for our forwards to do their thing.

I'd take scuffed as long as it's half a yard to the left or right of the keeper.

[George Costanza]

Bold selection. It'll either be a genuis move or we'll get absolutely battered.  Going to be lots of goals

[Supremolad]

When we are in a poor run, people keep saying we've gotten figured out and Klopp should be trying something new. 

 

And then when he does try something new, people start to complain and get worried in advance of the game being played. Sigh.

[Section_31]

I think klopp has just realised our midfield options are so poor may as well throw all our good attackers on. Could have six centre mids on but what's the point if they're all shite?

Agreed.

 

Looking at the selection objectively though, it's either a case of Jota as the 4th forward or Fabinho as a 3rd midfielder. Considering Fabinho has been worse than syphilitic dog shit all season long then at least this selection gives us a fighting chance

[Jennings]

I am gonna be watching Nunez closely today, to learn more about him. I am not looking for perfection or a world class performance, but some things I'd like to see (apart form the obvious goals)...pressing; composure in the box; discipline, good movement...

...and a hat-trick obvs. 

 

The rest I'll wait for.

[an tha]

An unchanged line up.

 

I like it....we have suffered far too much with changing this season and for me this line up maximises what we have and minimises our weaknesses.

Team same as Tues

Well, it shows he's trying to make 424 work, which I don't have a problem with, in fact I'm happy he's sticking with something, win or lose.  

 

Partey likely to dominate our midfield, but we cede ground there to break quick with numbers.  

 

4 midfielders injured, what else can we do. 

[halewood pete]

Nunez hat trick.

[Jairzinho]

Keep it tight for the first 12 seconds and then select the FM "gung ho" option. 

 

Would snap your bollocks off for a stress free seven all draw.

I've put 2 quid on with paddy Power at 50/1,ever the optimist me !

[Torvald Utne]

We should be ok as long as Ben White is starting, can't be losing to a team with him in it 

[diamondjoe]

Fucking Arsenal. They'll be giving it the big HOOF! Cunts. Fucking Arshavin the little inbred cunt. "I am gooner now" yeah you are you little fucker and that's not something to be proud of. 

Fuck them the entitled wankers.

They're shite. 

0-4. 

[waddy78]

It's kind of if we are attacking then we don't need to defend. 

 

Brave selection considering how well Arsenal are playing and how poorly we've been defending. They took Tottenham apart last week on the counter.

[suzy]

I’m nervous! Come on you mighty Reds.

Paul Merson is one jibbering mess, he waffles on and stutters through every show he's on, started talking about Leicester before instead of Leeds ? Now he's saying Arsenal's midfield will rip Liverppol apart today. Hasn't he lost millions on betting ? His knowledge about football obviously isn't all that must be comedic value.

[an tha]

This formation offers more defensive solidity than our 4-3-3 IMO

 

Our centre halves won't be on halfway line most of game and our 2 central midfielders will sit closer to them.

 

We can sit the full backs a bit deeper with this line up too as we are not as dependent on them for attacking width, but when they do bomb on we can cover them better as two midfielders are closer/sitting.

 

We can get ball quickly to the 3 playing off Nunez and let them interchange and play as opposed to our slow midfielders being high up pitch and being bypassed onto our centre halves/them trying to cover space vacated by full backs with no help.

 

[angie]

I like the way the attacking lineup says fuck the midfield

Is Arshavin out and about? I assumed Putinists were personae non gratae...

I think Nunez could benefit from the fullbacks being deeper whipping crosses in from slightly deeper might give him and even Mo a bit of space in behind.
