Liverpool V Bordeaux

[David Hodgson]

Yes, I'm that in the zone and excited that I have nothing better to do than start this thread.

 

 

Here's the team I reckon :

 

Mignolet

 

Randall

Skrtel

Lovren

Moreno

 

Allen

Milner

Can

 

Ibe

Firmino

Benteke

 

 

Sturridge to get 30 mins

 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

win this and we qualify. Want to finish top if we can too but that's for later. At least this is at home and so's the next League game vs Swansea.

 

He may as well play Lucas for this as he's out next Sunday

[DJS]

Yeah, Lucas is surely a cert for this.

 

Think we should maybe rotate 2 or 3 at most for this. Get the game won & qualify, so we can forget about this competition until February.

[Red Yoda]

--------------------Mignolet

 

Clyne------Skrtel-----Lovren-----Moreno

 

--------------Lucas-------Can

 

Milner-------------Firmino----------Lallana

 

---------------------Benteke

 

Bench

 

Bogdan, Randall, Toure, Allen, Ibe, Teixeria, Sturridge

 

Go as strong as possible from the start, look to try to kill the game early, then we can rest a few later.

[The_Adder]

Ibe surely starts, can't afford Firmno out with Phil prob missing for a few games.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Phil appears to only have had cramp

[whitewidow]

Is that right? That's cracking news if true.

[RafaShanks]

Reds medical staff have opted to leave it 48 hours before drawing any conclusions in the hope that the problem settles down.

Coutinho will be assessed again at Melwood on Monday when a decision will be taken over whether to send him for a scan.

And he's SO good ATM, I wanna watch him just to admire his accomplishment

Was magnificent v City

[McBain]

I'd play Allen to get him in shape for Swansea.

 

Ibe and Benteke in as well. Shame we only have 4 defenders as we need to rest them boys at some point. Not sure we can get two games a week out of them for too long before one or more breaks down

Fingers and everything else crossed, hopefully he gets the all clear.

Agree about Allen

He's less s*** when he's not rusty

Ibe starts. That's not even up for debate.

Teixeria isn't in the Euro squad is he?

lol , this is definitely this season's Ibe is cup tied Edited November 22, 2015 by Hassony

[growler]

Like to see rossiter and Sinclair given some time.

[downunder]

I doubt Rossiter will be fit enough, only started training Sunday.

[Conrad]

no way coutinho or lallana are starting this

[Case]

Mignolet

Randall Skrtel Toure Moreno

Lucas Allen

Milner

Ibe Benteke Firmino

 

Subs :- Yes

[David Hodgson]

We've got this lad called Daniel Sturridge too.

[Red Yoda]

We've got this lad called Daniel Sturridge too.

 

Surely his first game back will be a part runout from the bench?

[DJS]

That sounds about right. I'd start Benteke and hopefully we can be relatively comfortable in the last 20 mins, for Sturridge to come on and get some fitness.

Bordeaux are 13th in Ligue 1, their last 6 league games have been a mixed bag:

 

Rennes 2-2 Bordeaux

Bordeaux 3-1 Monaco

Ajaccio 2-0 Bordeaux

Bordeaux 1-0 Troyes

Bordeaux 0-0 Montpellier

Lorient 3-2 Bordeaux

[Chewie]

Mignolet

Randall - Skrtl - Lovren (need to build partnership) - Moreno

Lucas - Allen - Can

Ibe - Benteke - Origi (wildcard)

 

 

Subs: good bench this!

Sturridge-Lallana-Coutinho-Firmino-Milner-Toure

 

then swansea

 

Mig - Clyne-Skrtl-Lovren-Moreno

Allen-Milner-Can

Lallana-Firmino-Coutinho

 

subs

Benteke-Sturridge-Ibe-Toure-Randall

 

whoever else..

[McBain]

A full warm up for sturridge and a pre agreed hour (for example) may be better than putting him on as sub for the last 30

aye - there's this too.. I'm persuaded! Considering I'd keep the city formation going into the swansea game let's bin the Origi idea and start Daniel for an agreed 60..

 

see, that's what boot room collaboration is all about ;-)
