I think he will go for a 2-3-1

henderson wide right and sterling on the left. Aspas i guess could come in wide right but i don't fancy that on an away day.


Allen lucas
Henderson coutinho sterling
suarez

allows two to sit and the rest to press like F
 
So we'll line up with:

-------------Lucas--------------
------Allen-------Alberto------
-Sterling-----------Coutinho-
------------Suarez-------------.

Then we pray to the penalty Gods to not give Spuds more
 
I think this pretty much means we'll go 5-3-2 :(

------------Mignolet-------------
-----Toure - Skrtel - Sahko------
Johnson - Allen - Lucas - Flanagan
------------Coutinho-------------
---------Aspas - Suarez----------

That will not do well against the Spurs midfield.

Hasn't Hendo started pretty much every game? Can't see him sitting out now.
 
I reckon we should just put 4 players out against the Spuds, in a 1-1-1-1 formation.

Migs
Sakho
Coutinho
Suarez

Read above mate <ok> Rumours spreading that Hendo is out injured. :(

I actually wouldn't have minded that 3-5-2 with Hendo bombing the wings and Johnson on the lft. some decent pace and power to counter the likes of Walker, Townsend, Lennon, etc.

look at least this is a 5-3-2 not a 5-2-3. coutinho will sit in with this. but you cannot play flanagan as a wing back. thats a joke, a bad one played by fate on us.

both LBs out, gerrard out, sturridge out, henderson out. thats 5 men down.

I would honestly stick sahko at LB in this one. play 2 banks of 4 tight and let coutinho and suarez play up top.

What's happened to Henderson?! <yikes>
 
Then what's his point? After our splurge on CB's his future is no longer there. It's no different than what is asked under Rogers as a RB. Either he can do it or we sell him for someone that can.

What about illori as RB? Or did we buy him to just sit about too.
