Would play:
Migs
TAA Matip Lovren Moreno
Can Henderson
Salah Firmino Mane
Solanke/Sturridge
Migs, wouldn't play if had choice, but still burnt from last time Karius had run in the PL side. And he mustn't be right yet if Jürgen is still picking Migs. Surely.
Moreno, would play at home. Get on the attack. As best form of defense. And hope he gets by defending. Milner deffo better defender, but had it last year with him going up the line, stopping, and coming back on his right foot. Pace gone from attacks.
But basically two players we should have replaced 1 year back minimum.
Other 3 defenders pick themselves right now.
Drop Gini, been poor, and drop Firmino in behind striker. And play S or S up top who take up more traditional striker positions.
Ideally we have Cou in there too, BIG loss right now, gives me a pain in the hole just thinking about it.
Mane has been great, and Salah tho missed few chances has impressed so far.
But Klopp is getting pretty predictable - and so is the side - don't expect a starting XI change.
These beat us at home last season, so would love to cap a few in their ass at the weekend. If Zaha is out that's a big plus. Get Lovren on Benteke and get a few choice challenges in on him - no pressure on the turd, and thats when he does OK, so soften him up early.
Would say 'and we need to be tighter in defense', but we've had all summer and look at the state of things. Don't expect much change in less than a week.
We just need to outscore the sh*t out of sides until we can head balls out of our box.
