I won't be too miffed at the lineup due to the calibre of opponents. However, I'd like to see us give them a real go and not sit back, why not?

Quite, we’ve done okay against Liverpool over 3 seasons with nothing to show for it. Need a bit of Southampton’s belief against City the other night.

And a massive slice of the good luck they had too!

This.

I think we have to go five at the back so the wingbacks can push high thereby (hopefully) blunting Liverpool's most attacking threat from their fullbacks. We need to keep TTA & Robertson defending by pushing Lamptey & Bernardo on.

I wouldn’t mind having a look at Mooy in the centre over this period, maybe not tonight but in assessing our CM options him going in there against top opposition could be a good opportunity.

Please God, no.

Too slow, and simply doesn't work hard enough. We will never win a PL game against any opposition, with Mooy in a CM two. (If we are playing him there as WELL as two others, that's a different argument).

Couldn't Be Hyypia · Jul 8, 2020

Starting XI:

Ryan
Stephens
Bissouma
Cochrane
Spong
Roberts
Kayal
Mac Allister
Murray
Maupay
Dunk

I hacked into GP's supercomputer and decoded his alogrythm. It uses a random number generator to choose from our playing squad as registered with the Premier League. If there was no player with the squad number generated, the player he choses is the one with the nearest squad number. Keepers are not in the algo, so I assume Ryan is a shoo-in.

As good a chance as any of this lot being chosen. No idea about formation, but then neither do they.

Definitely disagree about his work rate, but agree that he is too slow/weak to play as one of two central midfielders.

I would like to see Bernardo start, always looks good when he (rarely) comes on and is surprisingly good in the air.
Also, he kicked Andone up the arse.

vagabond · Jul 8, 2020

Wonder if we’ll see any surprises tonight?

I think we’ve all given up hope of AJ playing again, but I wonder if there’s a chance of a young player, a Jenks or someone being involved?

This is Potter’s Burnley centre back four special. Designed to counter long balls played down the flanks as well as centrally to nullify the likes of Wood & Barnes. That is not how Liverpool play.

Surely we need pace to deal with Salah & Mane? Lamptey can keep up with the Premier League’s fastest players so has to be first on the team sheet for me.

You seem to want this back four for every fixture?

Ryan
Webster-Dunk -Burn
Lamptey-Bissouma-Propper-Bernardo
MacAllister-Maupay-Trossard

3-4-3 or 5-2-3/5-4-1/5-5 when they’ve got the ball.

I always thought he was superb in that role when H'Field got promoted, his passing crisp and prompt, he gets a get picture of the game in his head early which I do feel counteracts his physical speed. This mental picture enables him to play as a wide player, or inside forward without much pace. With Bissouma in there, I'd like to see him in there, but am a big Propper fan so no great shakes if this experiment never happens!

GP will want Gross in there for his defensive duties, probably in place of Mooy.

You say that, yet this season Mooy has carried out more tackles, won more tackles, more blocks, much more interceptions, more clearances and more headed clearances than Gross and we’ve conceded less as a team with Mooy on the pitch than when Gross is on. 26 apprarances for Mooy, 25 for Gross.

As I’ve said before, his set pieces are superb and he works hard and presses well but apart from that, he really doesn’t justify a place in the side.

Ryan;
Lamptey - Webster - Dunk - Burn;
Mooy - Bissouma - Propper;
Mac Allister - Maupay - Trossard.

I'm not really impressed by any of our full backs at defending in the conventional full back role.

As the opposition can only play on one wing at a time, the supply is cut out or a midfielder drops back. We really need a speed merchant up front to discourage advancing full backs.

Lamptey is a winger in my book.

I see lesser teams than Liverpool be restricted to long shots like United, Arsenal and Leicester. The job is to force Liverpool out of their rhythm or preferred style.

I like the look of that team tbf.

I think we’ll line up in a variation of 4-4-2 though. In which case I’d go with;

Ryan

Lamptey - Webster - Dunk - Burn

Mooy - Propper - Bissouma - March

Connolly - Maupay

I think March offers more defensive cover down the left, an area I can see Liverpool targeting. I just hope Potter doesn’t stick Bis on the wing again...

I’d go with this but I’d start with Murray and Connolly, and bring Maupay on after an hour. Murray Can hustle Fabinho and Van Dijk, and maybe nick a few free kicks

zefarelly · Jul 8, 2020

As long as he doesn't play Connolly and Maupay together I really don't care

Ryan

Lamptey Webster Dunk Bernardo

Bissouma - Propper

AJ. Mooy

MacAllister

Maupay
