      If Mane is out, I'd move Lallana up and bring Can into midfield. I'd also be starting Origi over Firmino. No need for a false 9 in this one.

      Not sure about Lallana moving further up the pitch against lesser opposition. I prefer a player who'll make runs behind their defence (Sturridge, Origi or Ings), or a quick wide player to attack their full backs (Markovic/Ojo).

                     Migs
      Clyne Lovren Klavan Milner
                 Grujic Hendo
           Firmino Couts Lallana
                     Origi

      This assumes Mane will miss out. Which would be a real pity, really good first match.
      Would have Milner in ahead of Moreno, not ideal as he's not a FB, but anyway. Is Matip ready to come in, not sure.
      Give Grujic a start ahead of Can - probably not likely to happen, but he's done OK when I've seen him so far, need to give the new lads a chance. Could he have more impact that Winjaldum did last weekend ... he'd have a good chance to. Need someone stamping their mark on a place in beside Hendo.
      And then the front 4, same as last season.

      Can see nothing but 3 points at Turf Moor, but we will need to keep our concentration and tight at the back please boys, Mane is a loss but we have enough in our squad for adequate cover.

      One game at a time and this is the most important one....we'll think about Burton Albion after 5pm on Saturday  ;)

      Klavan is a lefty and pacey. If matip is fit id start him and move ragnar to left full.

      Is coutinho a doubt?

      We must win this one comfortably  even without Mane
      We still have   more than enough talent to  do the job for us.

      I rate Burnley. They are exactly the teams we seem to struggle against.

      Well drilled and disciplined who will create chances at their home ground.

      We need to take our chances against them

      Will be threat at set pieces. We need to defend better.

      At home though they should come out a bit more than if it was at Anfield, so hopefully we get and take chances when they come.

      Not sure why we'd put Milner there, but from all accounts in the media, it looks like he will play there this weekend.

      As sh*t at he is, i'd keep Moreno there. The rest of your team is what i'd go with.

      Yeh lets keep playing someone who is S**t  :f_steam:

      Going for a win against newly promoted Burnley on Saturday. Anything less, would be a backward step to my mind.

      For 20 odd minutes on Sunday we annihilated Arsenal with 4 world class goals.
      We had them on the ropes with our passing and movement and let's not forget, it was away from home against a top team.
      It was brilliant to watch and we were unstoppable.

      I don't see any reason why Jürgen will take the foot off the gas away at Burnley, newly promoted or not.

      I can honestly see a piss taking 3-0 win.. could be more..
      I'm sorry, Burnley are sh*te !

      Saturday afternoon kick off as well... nice change for once.. :)

      Now it seems Mane will be missing I can see Wijnaldum moving forward more with Can or Grujic starting alongside Hendo.

      What is Wijnaldum's best position - out wide left I suspect? I never saw much of him at Newcastle apart from the games he played against us last season (where he was pretty good..). It would be interesting to see how he'd do in his strongest position.

      Moreno is our only natural option and i really don't see why playing a 30-year-old right winger at left back has any long term benefit for us.

      If short term goals are the objective of playing him there, we are in a transfer window and could find a solution from a natural replacement.

      After our fantastic destruction of the Arse, I can't see us dropping any pts to Burnley, irritating to lose Mane we should still prove to powerful for Dych's battlers,

      It's probable that Klopp will want the same intensity shown at the Emirates and given that Ojo is also out could we see Lazar come in for a hour, unlikely but still possible,

      I'd be inclined to use a more experienced wide player first off and then see how the game develops, at ko I'd go with thus.....

                               Mignolet
            Clyne.  Lovren.  Klavan.  Milner
                                    Can
                  Henderson.  Wijnaldum
           Firmino.                        Coutinho
                                  Origi

      Bench ;  Manninger,  Matip,  Stewart, Lallana,  Ings, Grujic, Markovic

      Not sure if Sturridge is available if so Ings drops out unfortunately,
      We need to sort out our defensive frailties asap, we cannot afford to keep shipping goals irrespective of how many we score up the other end,

      Burnley are no pushovers and will pose a few problems but not so that will lose us points,
