I think we're paying too much respect to Anzhi. The only real star they have is Eto'o who is a threat. I still expect our youngs lads to get 3 points ...
I agree he is a threat but our lads kept him quite last time out It's their height that is the threat I'm hoping on a win but i'm thinking a draw tonight
I thought we went to pieces once traore came on think he will be the main threat if he plays. Eto was playing in midfield for some reason at the game at anfield.
Confirmed #LFC team v Anzhi: Jones, Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Flanagan, Shelvey, Henderson, Coady, Downing, Cole, Morgan.
TEAM NEWS! Anzhi Makhachkala: Georgi Gabulov, Logashov, Samba, Joao Carlos, Tagirbekov, Ahmedov, Jucilei, Zhirkov, Eto'o, Boussoufa, Traore
Really disappointed to see Pacheco and Assaidi not start this game as I believe they would offer more creativity.
really disappointed with this line up.....Cole and Downing in advanced positions = my worst nightmare come true two right backs on the pitch when Robinson or Downing could play there. How do i change my vote from Win to lose....... All I can hope is that Suso, pacheco and Assaidi come on after about 5 minutes!!!!!! FFS!!!
Just don't know why he gives Cole another chance. Downing I can kind of see why. They will be a bit more mindful of him after the last game.
Suso on the bench though. I think we could see (finally) Sterling-Suarez-Assaidi. I hope so at least. Would ahve him go right at Azpiluceuta.
That's a bit experimental. Well, you can't say BR doesn't give people chances. Very combative midfield, but more than a little toothless upfront. I'd expect, if not the whole front line, then 2 attackers and a midfield player to be replaced at some point tonight.
My thoughts exactly. I have a feeling that we could be playing 3 at the back (Wisdom, Carra and Coates) with Downing and Flanno as the attacking full backs. It will be interesting to see how this team does but I feel it is lacking some continental flair and creativity.
Might still be like i thought ------------------------JONES -------------CARRA-COATES-WISDOM FLANO----------HENDERSON---------DOWNING --------------COADY---------SHELVEY--------------- -----------------------COLE ---------------------MORGAN
Good call that, probably what is will be, should be. Flanno staying more at home and downing more attack minded.
Also hope Coady can take the opportunity and that Pacheco can get on in place of Joe Cole. Robinson should also get some time.
