I must say very excited about tomorrow, will be thrilling contest no doubt. Will be interesting to see how we line up considering the last few weeks klopp has had his hands slightly tied with team selection. He has big calls to make in midfield and im curious to hear how ye think he should set us up?

Hendo, Fab and Gini in midfield for me. The front 3 and back 4 are a given.

I'd agree with those 3. I think one needs to be given a more advanced role to prevent the front 3 being isolated and gini is obvious option. But I think gini and fab have played their best games in that double no.6 role beside each other. I'd be curious to see hendo given full license to attack, I doubt klopp would go that route but I think he could be a handful with his energy and late runs into the box despite maybe lacking the technical abilities of a number 10.

Milner fab and gini I think myself Milner and fab give you bite and forward thinking passes gini is just in serious form keeps the ball so well has great energy.

Milner always shows up in these type of games but I feel we need Henderson in there, he was excellent mid week and you'd expect his confidence to be sky high. He's our skipper too and this is the type of game he'll want to stamp his authority, his performance against bayern makes him hard to leave out.

Personally in the middle I'd like to see fabinho, hendo and Wijnaldum. Defence been robbo, matip, vvd and trent. And obviously our front three. God help them if this lineup is going out.

Could be a cracker salah. OGS gets them playing quick counter attacking as we also do against the bigger teams, could be an end to end open game if both managers push for 3 points. I'l be having a sneaky bet on a 0-0 as it could turn into a cagey affair with both sides in fear of losing control of possession. Matic Herrera and pogba against our 3 amigos will be an exciting battle. I'm hoping the game becomes open because I feel we'd do more damage if we're more clinical than of late.

I think if fab AND hendo play I would expect the third cm to be a creative player such as milner or Keita. I really like gini and I think he should play, I would go with hendo gini and milner/ Keita.

Upfront picks itself

Is lovren back? If so I'd play him next to big v, wing backs taa and ar.

Nope, Lovren is still out. Matip and VVD at the back. Has to be hendo, gini and Fab in the middle.

Milly hendo and fab would be defensively solid, milly to nail pogba in the first ten minutes.


10.) 23 Feb 2019

I think Fab and Hendo will start along with Wiji as the more advanced mid, a position he has played for us and one that he currently plays for Holland where is is brilliant. Having said that, I would not be surprised if Keita came in for Hendo with Fab and Wiji sitting BUT I doubt it.

I would play Fabinho instead of Matip at CB to deal with their pace upfront, and a midfield of Hendo, Gini and Keita.

If martial and lingard play I'd hit them hard first 10 mins, see how the injuries hold up. I'd have Gini and Hendo in midfield for graft and Fab for quality. I think if we can swamp pogba utd are fairly nullified.

I must admit, I love the quality we have for the midfield, it's nice to have such options.

Lord Ha Ha mate I hope we are a good enough team to not have a game plan of targeting opposition players for injury. Why not show Martial to the left touchline or double up on him when he’s near the box to keep him outside. We know he’s not that great outside the box or when pushed wide.

Injurying players with a plan is sick.

Alisson-A. Arnold-Matip-VanDijk-Robertson-Fabinho-Wijnaldum-Keita-Salah-Mane-Firmino.

Shaqiri as an Impact sub!

Nah, fab is better in midfield than defence. These are the games you have to earn the right to play, these big games, in among the squad.

I think he will go with the trusted hendo milly and gini. Industrious and skill full.

Question for eds and reds; if you had to make a change to that 3. Would it be fab, Keita or shaqiri? And who would you replace?

{Ed001's Note - Fabinho has to play in midfield, as does Gini. Sadly I would have to say Milner is the one to miss out as he has not reached the level he was at before his injury.}

Fab has to start and he has to shadow and harrass pogba for the entire match. The other midfielders are almost irrelevant compared to this.
