I'd ideally like this as our line-up Migs Manquillo Toure Lovren Moreno Henderson Lallana Sterling Couthino Borini Balotelli In a 4-2-2-2 formation. Hendo and Lallana down the middle, Sterling and Couthino coming in from the flanks, Borini and Balo up top together. Lots of runners around Balo. We all know that there is at least 2 people that seem to play no matter what though. So In that case I'd lose Moreno and Couthino for the two oldies. Hopefully BR actually has some balls.
Tiote would love that midfield. If we were to use that system I'd have Can or Lucas in to add muscle.
Just saw the team. Mignolet, Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Balotelli. Probably 433. please log in to view this image
Pretty solid team, no real surprises. I'm still hoping Sterling will play more up top with Coutinho behind him and Balotelli.
I must say, that is a fantastically disappointing team. Change my 1-1 to 2-0 to Newcastle, can't see us getting anything. Manquillo, Can and Borini should all be playing. The only positive is that Coutinho starts.
Kick off! (almost) and I'm sensing 90 minutes of utter utter frustration. Hope I'm pleasantly surprised
Rodgers is an unbelievably stubborn prick. FFS Balotelli alone up top is just not working, and why has Allen done to merit another start.
good work from Allen to hussle and win the ball back in the middle. Coutinho & Sterling then linking up well but couldn't quite find the cross.
