Enrique has posted a picture of himself with Suso on the coach down to London. Hopefully these two will get some game time over the next week. My not be popular for this but would like to see this 11 starting tomorrow. GK: Mignolet RB: Manquillo LB: Moreno (Enrique 2nd half) CB: Skrtel CB: Lovren DM: Lucas/Allen LM: Henderson RM: Suso AM: Sterling/ (Markovic 2nd half) ST: Balo ST: Borini (Lambert 2nd Half) Give Gerrard a rest, Lallana a full game wednesday. 442 diamond all the way.
Just for a break. And keep the squad fit. Think Moreno is doing brilliant at the moment and thats why he has to start, but Enrique is class and needs competitive minutes.
I was thinking similar for if we wanted to give Enrique a run out but not sure what that would say to/about the attacking players we signed over the summer.
I think we've got to go with 2 upfront because we've looked much better than with just 1 up top. I'd put Lucas in the middle with Allen (Gerrard if he isn't fit) & Henderson in front of him and Sterling with Lambert & Balotelli upfront. Also Skrtel in for Sakho if he's back from injury.
I think Sakho should be starting because of his physical presence at least. But as long as set up in the diamond formation, then I'll be happy. Having that extra man up front gives our attack far more balance.
Im hoping he starts with Borini. We looked better when he came on mid week. Suspect he wont and Brendan will start with Lalana. I predict 2-0 Hammers sadly.
