Swap Reed for Wanyama and you have my preferred starting line-up. Reed was my MotM in the West Ham game but for a side like Liverpool, I'd like to see arguably two of our best players playing.
Would be tempted to play Filip in the no10 role which I believe is his preferred position. We have players that can beat the fullbacks with pace, what we lack is the player than unlock a stubben defence by beating players or running at players with pace and skill, this is what Filip brings to the table. Teams have to double mark players like him as they can breeze past lone defenders which hopefully will create space for others.
Liverpool pass it along the floor. Reed is faster and better at stealing the ball back. Wanyama's height and strength isn't going to really come into play is it..so stop shouting
I prefer Reed over Wanyama against sides that like to pass it along the ground. We've already seen what happened when Reed played against Everton.
do we know if morgan's back & 100% ? bit of a worry for me. if that's the case, then mabe vic & harry could do a job ?
Victor And Morgan have to start for me.. Reed had played well of late but the confidence the attacking players gain from knowing that nothing will get past those to Two CMs mean we will be more dangerous.
I suspect Vic will be put on Sterling, much as he was on Austin in the QPR game. Kept him pretty quiet.
Shouting? I'm just emphasising my point. And Vic is more than that. He's also better than Reed so it's a complete no brainer.
....................Fraser.............. Clyne... Fonte... Toby... Targett Reed .......Vic. ... Davis... Tadic ..............Pelle....... Mane.......... KD Maya Gardos JWP Morgan Elia Djuricic
I don't believe he will be fit enough yet, but a possible option if need to tighten things up if fit.
If Morgan is fully fit thats got to be one of our strongest ever benches and we still have Long and Jrod to comeback.
