1st?

 

We must not underrate Burnley , they lost their first game of the season narrowly. I am going for a win 1:3.

 

Migs
Clyne Lovren Klavan ****head
Lallana Can Wijnaldum
Mane Sturridge Coutinho

What do you guys think of this? And how do you think we'll link up against Burnley?
​

 

Provided Coutinho is fit

 

Think he should be, read that it was just cramp and he should be fine to play next week

 

Then we have Sturridge to worry about.

 

I dunno... why would henderson deserve the drop?

why would we play 433 again not 4231... again i dunno

Overall It will be very interesting to see what occurs next.

I did seriously feel firmino was poor up top for first half, lallana did nothing til he scored next thing its all the tricks...

I have more faith in certain players than others put it that way.

 

Who would you play?

In midfield I would definitely play Can, and I'd be inclined to play Wijnaldum as well as I felt he did play quite well yesterday

 

If people think Hendo needs dropping after yesterday, then their either blind, biased or stupid (or all three).
Was one of our better players yesterday, he's gonna recapture his 2013-14 form, can feel it in my water!

 

hmmm... me v kloppp.. well

For me i think i'd go:

mong
clyne Lovern (for now) klavan Who's fit?
Can Henderson
Mane firmino Coutinho
Origi​

Wijnaldum I think was ok, just ok...but i am not sure who we line up with him. if he becomes a permanent fixure that will tell a lot i think.

Firmino was pish yesterday unitl that second half burst and suddenly he could ge ton it. every ball pings up there came right back at us. origi made a difference coming on.

Lallana for me not great. never liked him.

Milner in for morbraindead
Matip in for lovern maybe
Karius to come in for minger.

 

1 maybe 2 changes at most for Burnley..
If Milner is fit, he may take Moreno's place..
Can is likely to replace Gini or Lallana..
Sturridge and Origi likely to make the bench..
Front 3 to remain the same..

Would like us look at a decent LB replacement/competition for Moreno
And we still need the DM.. Hendo isn't, he's Box to Box, play's better further up the pitch and can be caught out of position!

 

I'm still concerned about us defensively and the fact that we're continuing in our inability to defend a lead.

I wouldn't be surprised if this ended 1-1 with Burnley scoring in last 10 mins after we dominate game.

 

I'd start with...

Clyne Lovren Klavan Matip
Hendo Can
Mane Lallana Coutinho
Origi​

 

Not having a keeper might be a bit of a problem.

 

No left back v Arsenal but we won.

 

Only just.

 

Hendo is a solid player who does the basics right and mops up after everyone, whether he should be captain is a different matter.

I said draw for this one as that is what I voted for the Arsenal game. I will vote draw for every game until we lose. Not that I am superstitious in any way.

 

2-1 Liverpool

 

We havent had a keeper since Reina left.
