Mignolet

Clyne
Toure
Sakho
Moreno

Henderson (c)
Emre Can
Milner

Lallana
Coutinho

Firmino

Subs: Ward; Ilori, Smith; Lucas, Stewart; Benteke, Sturridge.

1-2 to us.

Any chance we can leave Benteke there?

Like I said before Sunderland, absolutely no excuse to not win this.

I assume the dross of Henderson, Milner and Lallana will be back for this one.

got to be Sturridge, Firmino and Couthino in some formation or other.

Got to start growing a pair and it has got to start in this game

Would start Origi upfront with Coutinho and Firmino on either side, with Studge from the bench.

Don't care which 3 of Hendo, Can, Lallana, Milner start in the midfield. They all look clueless right now! Sakho would probably make Gestede look like Ibra!

I would play:

          Mignolet
Flanno Toure Sakho Smith
         Hendo Can
Lallana Firmino Coutinho
          Sturridge

Clyne, Ilori, Sakho, Moreno
              Lucas
       Hendo   Coutinho
   Ojo    Firmino  Origi

Clyne, Ilori, Sakho, Moreno
              Lucas
       Hendo   Coutinho
   Ojo    Firmino  Origi

No one in goal?  You really don't rate our keepers do you, buddy?!

To be fair to him, using Ilori or Sakho as a "sweeper-keeper" might yield the same save percentage or better than what Migs has produced this season.

Personally think I'd go with:

Migs
Clyne Ilori Sakho Smith
Lucas
Hendo           Can
Coutinho
Studge Firmino

Going for starting 11:

Mignolet
Flannagan
Lucas
Lovren (if available)
Smith
Stewart
Allen
Ojo
Coutinho
Firmino
Sturridge

1-3 Redmen!

Personally I think Lallana would excel in a squad where you had Lallana/Studge/Firmino with Coutinho in behind......See lots of people putting Ojo in but honestly...Lallana's movement has been excellent this season and the last few weeks he has stated adding goals...its the wrong time to be yanking him.

                Migs
Clyne Toure Sakho Moreno
                Lucas
    Hendo           Coutinho
               Firmino
        Studge   Benteke

5 days since an extra time match, and 4 days after this match we travel for the Europa League. I would suspect we will rest the players who just played the entire match vs. West Ham. I'll also assume Joe Allen and Lovren are still out due to injury. So on that premise, I would like/hope to see:

                Migs
Clyne  Toure  Sakho  Moreno
                Hendo
          Milner    Lallana
                 Couts
          Studge  Firmino

Excellent movement, but does absolutely fook all every single game, bar a tap in vs Sunderland and a miss hit winner vs Norwich, he is one of the most frustrating players I have ever seen in a LFC shirt, needs a huge end to the season else can't see him being at the club beyond this season.

He might look and create a whole lot more for the squad with Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge in at the same time....I like Ojo but I think Adam could do quite well with the right players in there with him.

Let's hope so mate, I am hoping Can, Milner and Hendo can also up there game too now we have some quality going forward.

Play the diamond and have a go here, might be the game to try it when you consider we have three massive cup games coming up.

Ward; Clyne, Ilori, Lucas, Smith; Stewart, Hendo, Coutinho, Firmino; Benteke, Sturridge.

I'd go Mignolet, Clyne, Lucas, Sakho, Moreno; Can, Henderson; Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana; Sturridge.

I just don't want to see a team selection that includes hendo, can, Lucas, Milner and Ibe in in.
Doing my head in.
2 of those then fine but all 5 drives me batty.

Those are all of our fit centre midfielders. Lucas surely can't be moved from centre back too considering the performance he put in against West Ham.

If Henderson is able to actually move, then he'll benefit from having a team with movement in it ahead of him. He's one of our players that's actually capable of unlocking a defence.
