Liverpool v Huddersfield a traditional 3pm Saturday k.o, 28 Oct

[Conrad]

Right, let's look forward. 3 points a must. It won't be easy.

 

Might as well give Karius another go. I don't trust him but if Klopp isn't going to pick him in the league now, I don't know when he will

 

Karius

Gomez-Klavan-Matip-Moreno

Wijnaldum-Henderson-Coutinho

Oxlade Chamberlain-Firmino-Salah

 

 

Mane, Lallana and Clyne walk straight in to that team when fit

[realtarragona]

Agree re front 6 but I'd go:

 

Ward

Milner Gomez Matip Moreno

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Mignolet start though. Or Lovren even (has it been said whether he was injured or not?).

[Cam]

Got a sneaky suspicion that Wagner will out-Klopp Klopp and we'll be longing for the heavy metal pressing football of last season.

 

Anyway, let's go nuts and look for lolz:

ABM

Milner Henderson Firmino Robertson

Coutinho Oxlade Moreno

Salah Solanke Woodburn

[rednotdead]

Ward

Milner Gomez Matip Robertson

Grujic Henderson

Salah. Firmino Coutinho

Sturridge

 

Not many options in midfield - as big a problem as our defence

[Conrad]

Not a chance Ward or Grujic start.

[rednotdead]

Oh and start pressing again.

[Earl Hafler]

Trent in midfield. Can to the bench. Shape up or f*** off - and that’s to everyone.

[D.Boon]

I'm not feeling the Coutinho in midfield vibe at all this season. Closer to the opposition goal he plays the better

I agree, but I'd rather he plays there and Milner and Can miss out

[Barnesy_10]

i'd start trying to push Robertson to give CB position a go until we at least get to a transfer window and fail to sign another

Put Can back there again.

[Begbie]

Ward

 

Milner  Gomez  Matip  Robertson

 

Gini  Hendo  Coutinho

 

Salah  Firmino  Ox

 

Not what we'll go with, what I'd try

[Molby]

I'd like to get Solanke on the pitch, without moving Firmino

 

hence, the two of them up front, with Salah and Ox wide MF, Coutinho in the middle with Henderson

 

we've lost a midfielder*...so f***ing what?

 

worth it if Solanke turns out to be good

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*or gained one if we do it right

Midfield diamond of Hendo, Trent, Ox and Coutinho. Energy, pressing, Hendo as the anchor.

Salah and Firmino in attack.

 

I think Klavan should be able to cope with Huddersfield but have only seen them once this season so unsure about their forward line.

[Conrad]

I'd like to get Solanke on the pitch, without moving Firmino

Solanke hasn't looked remotely ready to start, so far

[dorgie]

They had a fella on the right wing against Man Utd and he looked very good. This isn't going to be easy.

[Bootle Buck]

Solanke hasn't looked remotely ready to start, so far

To be fair he has only had the odd 10 minutes here and there. He at least looks like a proper striker and given him some time will only help his development.

Ward

 

Milner  Gomez  Matip  Robertson

 

Gini  Hendo  Coutinho

 

Salah  Firmino  Ox

I like that team. More solid at the back definately. 

[uppsala]

Watch Moreno and Lovren start this game.

[Molby]

Solanke hasn't looked remotely ready to start, so far

harsh

and in a 2, it might be a bit easier for him

 

also, the under 23s are playing man u atm

 

4-4-2 diamond

 

 

comments please:

1 is this usual?

2 if so, is the blueprint of formations running through the ages being ripped up, or is a change coming at senior level too?

[D.Boon]

Would have thought giving Solanke half an hour on Sunday wouldn't have been the worst idea in the world.

I really would give Ward a try. He's been impressive with us and with Wales in 2016.

[Sion]

There's no way Ward plays. There's only a small chance Karius plays. In fact I'd be surprised if Lovren didnt play.

[Conrad]

I can't understand why anyone would want Ward to play

 

A keeper who Klopp thinks is not as good as Karius, let alone MIgnolet

[Stevie]

I can't understand why anyone would want Ward to play

It may be because the other 2 are a bit s*** and can’t be relied upon. Ward has yet to make any calamitous mistakes for us yet. If Klopp doesn’t think Ward is any good, why did he decide to keep hold of him in the summer and not buy at least 1 keeper who is any good? Edited October 24, 2017 by Stevie

Watch Moreno and Lovren start this game.

 

Lovren I can see, but why not Moreno?
