Games are coming thick and fast now, time to look forward to the next one. We visit Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. Time to get back to winning ways!
Current league form:Middlesbrough have only conceded seven in seven home games, winning two (Hull 1-0, Bournemouth 2-0) and drawing one (Stoke 1-1).
Team news:Liverpool: Can is a doubt for Wednesday's game, no news on Lovren yet. He had a hamstring issue.
Middlesbrough: Friend has been back in full training, both Ramirez and Negredo have been training individually and are doubts.
Jürgen's pre-match press conference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl6cHd5w_rUMy thoughts:
Middlesbrough are a solid team defensively and I think that it's time to shake things up a bit. Origi has been scoring goals, but I feel like he interrupts our rhythm and fluidity up front. Maybe it's an idea to get Lallana higher up the pitch again? That would give us a front three of Lallana - Firmino - Mane and an option from the bench which we have been lacking in the previous two games. It would allow Firmino to take back his spot where he is much better than out wide. This of course leaves a gap in midfield to fill and with Can being a doubt and Grujic still coming back from injury, I'd put Milner in there. He could get back in positions on the right where he can actually get in some crosses with his right foot instead of Clyne firing them at the first defender. Maybe even give Clyne a rest and give Trent-AA a shot. Get Moreno in at LB to give us width and a decent left foot to put in crosses from the left.
I know this won't happen and maybe some of you may think I'm crazy, but it's just my two cents.
Either way: Come on Red men! Let's get the three points and get back on track!
