Henderson Coutinho & Salah to start plus possibly TAA (see the rotation of Gomez & TAA during the CL games for worries over overplaying ) & Robertson. For who drops out AOC & Can Salanke would be my guess.
Imo we have rotated enough now but we will see. at some point we have to get the team settled too. the front 4 etc. unfortunately we are almost assure of seeing sturridge in this game.
Difficult to make everyone happy. neither Salah or Mane are going to be happy to be on the bench that is for sure.
I reckon brighton will be as big a threat from set piece as stoke. we need to play both mane and salah imo and i can't wait to see this guy duffy up against that pace he might score 2 off corners but we might get 3 running at him.
I think we'll rotate for this game and play our first choice attack against Moscow and Everton. I'm going for Ming, TAA, Matip, Lov, Moreno, Hendo, Milner, Cortina, Studge, Firmino, Lallana (if fit)
We need to win this game and should play our first choice attackers, Coutinho Mane, Salah and Firmino.
I would like that bit imo the most important two are.salah and mane. I saw a star recently that we have lost only two games when mane starts over a season and a half... and one of those is v city where he got sent off. Mane scored, missed a one one on by hitting post and assisted salah for winner last game... salah scored two off the bench. these two are most important players we have now. followed then by the other two you mention..... I would go so far as to say rotating the rest of the side seems to have little impact positively or negatively on results. has anyone really hand on heart noticed much difference between gks, cbs, cms or rbs.
Can’t see Salah being tested. He only played 20 mins on Wednesday. Get the same won win in first 60 then rest Salah Mane Cout. Mig TAA Matip Lovren Moreno Hendo Milner Gini Salah Firm Cout is what I imagine team will be.
Can't keep not playing your best players!! mane got a break against Chelsea, Salah against Stoke - now they should be good to go until new year
It's a gamble, but how can you afford not to play your best players? There are no easy games, and it's no compensation to still have fresh players at the end of a poor season. We have some promising young players, but imo we can only afford to let one or two play now and again, not change the team too much at one time.
