And Isak. With Botman and Hall probably starting on the bench as not 100% fit yet.
So 3 of our first 11 missing from the starting line-up.

Add to that Thiaw and Ramsey probably not yet integrated into the squad enough (not for Eddie to start them at least), so again most likely both on the bench at best.

Nailed it.
 
Including Ramsdale, I'd have 4 of those subs starting. Possibly 5.

Ramsdale, Hall, Thiaw, Botman all in.
Maybe Ramsey in for Harvey, with Big Joe up front for this one.

Absolutely agree.

I don't understand why we wait until we've lost ground in the games or the league before we just make obvious changes.
 
The worst part is the changes get made when we've basically lost the game and they aren't based on what's happening in the game.

The subs I think are always pre planned... Unless we get injuries anyway..

Trippier Schar and Burn vs this Liverpool fwd line is a recipe for distaster if they get in between the lines.

It’s like Howe doesn’t ever learn by his mistakes mate but let’s see. Maybe Hall and Botman are not 100% fit.

Thiaw may be the same and throwing him in against the best forwards in world football might be a big ask.

Let’s just hope Howe has this.

We've got two CB's worth a combined 90 million waiting for two cbs worth about 50 quid to cost us a match.

****ing useless selection. Hey, lads, I know you couldn’t beat 10-man Villa who’ve looked poor this season, but you’re our guys for the best team in the country. **** me, Eddie, I get you’ve done great things but ****ing snap out of it sometimes.
 
How the **** Trippier is now first choice is beyond stupid.

He only played Hall as a last resort at home to west ham 2 years ago...his subs got injured and he was then forced to have to play Hall.

Hall got player of the month after that and everyone pretended he'd waited until he was ready.

What is the point in waiting until you've lost to get better players on the pitch...be proactive surely?
