Our record in the PL under JK isn’t great at their place with no wins in last 5 visits ( 3 defeats 2 draws ) the highlight being his first visit before the rivalry really took hold BPL | Manchester City 1 4 Liverpool | Goals & Highlight | 2015 On the team i thought it was fairly safe to assume , injuries permitting , it will be pretty much Allison , TAA , Matip , VVD , Robertson , Henderson , Fabinho , Thiago , Mane , Jota / Firmino , Salah However considering some of our recent line ups who knows but the Boss On their line up i confidently predict that no CF will start . PL 22-6-2 CL 7-0-0 LC 5-0-0 - W FAC 4-0-0
Lfc team now picks himself. Alisson Trent matip vvd robertson Henderson fabinho* thaigo Salah jota mane No Diaz here Thaigo to be subbed on 60mins for say keita. Big big game. We are going in with a little rest in several players legs so this is it. Win or bust for the league.
Think I would be tempted to play Diaz over Mane or Salah Only because these two sides know each other so well that something different might help That said such are egos whoever was dropped may sulk So who knows Tbh with the referee set up I not sure it makes much difference
imo there'll be space to run into behind city and jota is the man to do that not bobby. If we want to flood midfield and get a draw (and the only way t shut down pockets where kdb will hurt us is to flood midfield) then bobby would be better. we need goals. i would expect mane slaah and jota to run behind where there is space If we have a lead with 30mins to go i'd want bobby on and drop deep and just fill up that midfield.
not form what i saw last night though. Diaz has a few issues with giving the ball away in bad areas. I would save him to run at city later on personally.
Given Diaz played 90 minutes and Salah Mane both came off after 60 mins think can safely say they’ll both start and diaz likely be on the bench. Question is just if he goes firm or Jota centrally.
depends where played. guardiola is copying our set up with foden as false 9. stick him there and he is a cb's problem. the main issue for me is sapce for mt de bruyne to play in. if thaigo sits properly in front of that left side zone and denies him space then we will do well. If we sub off Thiago and someone comes on that just runs off forward kdb will kill us from that half space. IMO thaigo must play the full 90 here.
