I like Stewart, but if I have the likes of Milner, Allen and Lucas available, for their experience alone in such a game, they get to play.. As Klopp would say, all these players are in a good "moment"
http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2016/clubs/club=7889/squad/index.html Good source for how squad works. We removed some guys and added caulker to squad to cover cb. Flanagan and Stewart cannot play.
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spor...eke-flies-liverpool-squad-contention-11249557 big news BENTEKKERSSSSS!!!! YESS! also in other news Sheyi Ojo, Cameron Brannagan and Pedro Chirivella have also been named in Klopp’s 20-man squad. However, there is no place for on-loan centre-back Steven Caulker. The ECHO understands the defender is fit but simply not selected. Caulker what a sack.
Actually quite nervous for this. Villarreal are the opposite of us... a cohesive team who rely on a good defence. Means in the cups they become very dangerous if (when) we allow them their own chances. Team is a bit of a mess now with Sakho, Hendo, Origi and Can all out. -----------------------------Mignolet Clyne----------Kolo--------------Lovren----------Moreno -----------------------Lucas----Milner ----------Lallana----------Firmino--------Coutinho ----------------------------Sturridge Would ideally have Milner wide - definitely plays his best coming in off the left. Could be done if we played Chirivella or Stewart but that's unlikely. Only possible derivation I can imagine is Lucas moving to CB. Tactic really has to be get the ball to the front four as fast as possible and keep our shape. Moreno and Clyne going forward too much worries me. No real pace or power in midfield or central defence for us to deal with counters. Lovren will have his hands full looking after Moreno never mind D. Suarez and co. PS - good to see Ojo on the bench and could be a decent option after 75 mins or so.
Updates from Villarreal. If u use pyros u will be arrested and fined 3000 Euro and that is not a typo @lfc Fair enough!
That's basically a 4-2-4. I think we should play 4-3--1-2, with Milner, Lucas and Allen in the 3, Coutinho in front of them them, and Firmino and Studge as the forward runanrounds. That said, it's vital to get a goal over there. I'd prefer 3-1 to 2-0, that's for sure. We could have saved ourselves a lot of bother against Dortmund by winning the game over there when it was on a plate.
Anyone who manages to have them over there deserves it. Imo they would be best to use them in town cos frankly they've got the club dings 3 times already I mean seriously if the club can't identify people they are incompetence personified
****ing Mingolet terrorises me. Wouldn't mind if suddenly went missing and turned up in an orange jumpsuit in Camp Gitmo.
Nervous about this. Not good with our recent injuries and stupidity of Sahko...what a ****ing way to shoot yourself and the club in the foot after scoring such an important goal in the last round. We've drawn all our away games in the knockouts so far....so...a 1-1 will do me.
I think just don't lose this. I think villa real look like a low socring team but a very hard team to score against. I don;t know if having a more english game might not help us tonight. a few corsses and sturrdige aint bad in there at 6 feet 2 inches. I think we cannot press like mad here. he have to press right areas. peoepl with back to play and wide.... don't over expose CM area and get run through
Cédric Bakambu Villarreal 85 mins per goal 763 mins played 9 Goals scored 2nd in the top scorers list.
Villa also have the player with the most assists and the team have the best record for clean sheets. Worried yet? Take this seriously or we will get done.
in the europa league though... check op for the teams they played... they played a bunch of nobodies in the group. I am looking at La liga thye've scored 42 goals all season there.... atletico have 59. thye've conceded 31. thats 1.2 goals a game scored and 0.885 goals conceeded you've got to go down to 10th in la liga to find a lower goal scorer (malaga) evan Rayo in 16th have score that much It suggests they don't score a lot but win thier games effectively. 31 goals conceeded could have a hammering off one of the big two inthere... I have not looked. What I am suggesting is we'll see a well organised team that won't go to town on us unless we give them gaps to exploit and we will not score easily. I am hoping a chance to sturrdige = a goal.
Hints coming out that we... - Will partner Kolo with Lovren.. - Will play a 4-3-3 with Lucas, Allen and Milner.. - Firmino is likely to be on the bench with front 3 of Lallana, Coutinho and Sturridge.. I like that.. no need to go gun-ho in the first leg. Even with the injuries (and stupid doping suspension) we have, we'll still be able to call on Firmino, Benteke..
