One thing our lineup has definitely done: befuddled Phil Neville, who assumed we'd be playing 343 with this as the starting xi Vorm; Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Trippier, Dier, Dembele, Rose; Eriksen, Kane, Son
As long as the 'England Rose' turns up that's a good call at LB. Ben has not had a good start to the season although he played 2 decent games for Wales. Otherwise no surprises and some options on the bench. Still don't hold out much hope, mind
Winks! Looks like we're going to be set up quite narrow, more 4-3-1-2 than 4-3-3. Not sure that's a good idea with Liverpool's strength out wide but oh well.
I'm glad Son is on the bench...need some firepower off it to run at tired legs Not sure Trippier will be able to live with Mane...4 at the back would have been better but I can see that as our master plan in the second half..due to us lacking serious squad depth..I think it has to be compensated with risk taking in the line up. Winks? Dembele? Lots of sideways passing...who's playing the killer ball? Lamela on the bench? I think it's a pretty tame line up...I'm waiting for the in game tactical change so we can go 4 at the back..and push their fullbacks back with some fresh legs. Won't be surprised if they piss on us first half but we aim to go in level...then change it around 2nd half....risk though. Lamela needs to be on the pitch Disclaimer: what the **** do I know
Not good at all..I'm suspecting we have faith in absorbing their attacks..I'm expecting a bit more adventure in the second half...similar to United game but tbh I hated that first half and we got split open a plenty Mane to skin Trippier Glad Rose is in LB instead of steady Eddie
This is an interesting stat... 'James Milner is the only @LFC player in today's XI who started Jurgen Klopp's 1st game as manager away at Tottenham in Oct 2015' Talk about upheaval......
Also quite possibly the worst defensive record in the Champions League, but that's not important right now...
This'll be over in the first 20 mins...Salah hat trick ... He will humiliate Trippier. Mane will prove that Mars bar Rose is terrible £70m keeper and £75m defender will not be troubled all match as they keep Kane in their back pocket and Henderson and Milner will make Purlo look like Sissoko we're doomed I tell you
btw...why is kane starting? 2 goals for club and country since June...shocking...Lorente must be fuming
I do like Winks but not sure he's right for this game. My opinion is Lamela should be on the pitch. I was furious with Poch's strategy during the Watford game. I'm hoping he will redeem himself today with astute and timely tactical changes. Yes, I'm still watching the game...this is the one where Spurs will win whilst I'm watching.
