This is my first post for a while so It will be a bit of a mixture of the pre match talk and some things that need discussing
Firstly - We host Norwich on Wednesday looking for 3 points to put the disappointment of the defeat by Hull behind us. Norwich will be looking to build on their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Norwich are an organised side but seem to struggle away from home and are likely to line up with a 4-5-1 formation. They currently sit 14th in the table.
After the performance at Hull, I'm sure there were many of us wondering who will play in the next game, mainly in defence. So I'd like to go into some depth with some players in the current squad and see which system suits our side best.
Rodgers has said he wants to play a balanced 3-5-2 formation, so I'm guessing once Enrique or Cissokho come back into the side we will see this again.
This is the team I'd play against Norwich, using a 3-4-1-2 formation.
Mignolet - Probably our best player so far this season, a great shot stopper and improving all the time.
Skrtel - I feel a bit sorry for him to be honest, he's been our most consistent defender this season and was so unlucky with 2 of the goals against Hull on Sunday. He's strong and throws himself in front of everything and in my view should start every game until someone proves to be a better option.
Agger - Our vice captain and in my view of best defender. We miss his leadership when he's not on the pitch and I feel he has to come back in if we are to sort our defensive issues out.
Sakho - Another player who shouldn't be sitting on the bench. Stick him in there with Skrtel and Agger and I can't see Norwich's strikers getting to much joy.
Johnson - Had a poor game on Sunday, we know he can do much better and playing him at Right wing back with Skrtel covering him should give him the confidence to push forward.
Henderson - I'd like to see him in the middle with Gerrard and to play the box to box role on Wednesday.
Gerrard - Usually the sort of game he controls and makes things happen. Can see Gerrard being important in this one.
Cissokho - Didn't have the easiest start to his LFC career getting injured in his first start, and I think he's paid for that. I'd start him and try to get him some confidence for the long run. Flanagan has done well and I'd be happy to see him start at Right wing back and Johnson to come in on the left but I would like to see Cissokho start this one.
Coutinho - Doesn't look 100% fit at the moment but this is the sort of game he can cause havoc. Play him in the hole and give him the full 90 mins.
Suarez - An obvious starter, always gives everything and enjoys playing against Norwich.
Aspas - Needs some time to show what he can do and this is the sort of game he could grab a goal and some confidence. I'd definitely start him.
Subs: Jones; Flanagan, Ilori; Allen, Lucas; Moses, Alberto.
I would like to see both Allen and Alberto come on around the 60 minute mark, for Gerrard and Aspas. And possibly Ilori for Skrtel, just to see what he can do.
I think that side would work well and I'm confident we will win comfortably and it will be good to give a few of our fringe players some minutes.
My prediction: I can see us winning this comfortably, I'm going for 4-0.
Which side do you think we will pick and do you think we will win? Which formation do would you go with?
