Eds,
I understand people might have concerns but surely Smith and Flannagan have done enough to start a game. Moreno is poor in so many ways and Clyne also hasn't played very well this season.
Would you play both or either Smith and Flannagan tonight after watching over half a season of Clyne and Moreno?

{Ed023's Note - My gut feeling is he will play Clyne and Flanagan as both of them are capable of playing right or left back.}

I think clyne and Flanagan are better defenders. Morono and smith are good good going forward but clyne and Flanagan are solid full backs.

I would love to see Smith play I think he suites klopp style of play he had with BVB where most of there players would be on one side of the pitch leaving a huge gap on the opposite end to exploit with a full back and think this would be perfect for smith, with his pace and crossing ability.

I would also like to see a midfield 3 of Lucas Henderson and the Welsh Pirlo.

All teams have players like Clyne. Not particularly great but not poor enough to be an immediate issue that needs adressing. Hopefully with our breath of new life into fullbacks with Smith and Flanno, all 4 will fight it out and improve. For me though Moreno is awful in defense and a solid left back would be a significant improvement to the team.

I'd like to see Clyne and Flanno start tonight. Can't see Smith starting after playing Saturday. Moreno did have a good game against Leicester on Boxing Day, but Mahrez is unlikely to have another off day. Away from home against top of the table opposition, for me it has to be Clyne and Flanno with Smith, Moreno or both on the bench.

I'd go with Can in front of Sakho and Lovren with Allen and Hendo ahead of him. Teixeira and Lallana behind Firmino. Do it! :)

Thing with Moreno is he creates an awful lot of chances, but unfortuately nothing usually comes from him but you can't blame him for that, we need better firepower in front of goal. If only a fraction of the chances he created had been finished off, we would all be a bit more reluctant to drop him. As someone said a while ago, maybe Moreno in front of Smith might be an idea - try to get the best of both worlds.

This was discussed earlier. Moreno's crossing is NOT good.

Nick, If you think Moreno creates more chances for us, you are mistaken. He creates chances for the other teams thru his gifts to other teams via his schoolboy mistakes.
