Someone told me Bogdan was starting, no idea how true it is though. We'll find out in 5 mins, I guess.
Injured, apparently. Fulton the GK on the bench. Think Bodgan has a chance to claim the #1 shirt for the rest of the season if he puts in a good performance today.
Bogdan, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Henderson, Can, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino. Bentekkers dropped?
I know there is lot of defensive predicting on this board: Watford is better than people think, etc etc. but the harsh reality is that we need to win these types of matches if we are to climb up the table. If we don't take the 3 points it would have meant taking only 2 points out of 9 (guaranteed on paper) points in 3 easy matches. Rodgers would have been crucified
That's the team wanted to see! Hendo Lucas Can in midfield. Lallana Firmino Cout up top. Similar to City team with plenty of movement up top. Bogdan ha a huge chance to prove himself here. Mig out injured, busy Xmas period, Jan window gas at approaching. Plays well here and might get shirt for season and not actually get sold and replaced.
This No excuses for the team. This team should be far too strong for a team like Watford. I believe this match will get us back on tract. Especially as the mancs have lost this weekend.
Team to play Liverpool: Gomes, Nyom, Britos, Cathcart, Ake, Capoue, Watson, Abdi, Deeney (c), Jurado, Ighalo. Subs: Arlauskis, Holebas, Behrami, Guedioura, Anya, Diamanti, Oulare.
