I am wondering how much threat they will have in midfield without Pogba? Might be a good idea to play Shaqiri for that extra attacking player with Wijnaldum and Fabinho in the middle.
Not sure they'll miss him that much as reckon they'll sort of bypass the middle anyway/do what they did before, play a land-of-the-giants game, long balls from the keeper/defence up to Fellani [pushing up to win them] or Lukaku, then have runners looking to pick up the knockdowns.
Caveman stuff, but it's been effective against us in the past - Maureen knows how to make sh*te out of a game.
But we've got VVD now, so hopefully can cope better. And if Lovren plays, maybe winning long balls might suit him better than quick passing round him.
Plus our front three are starting to motor.
Wouldn't say I was confident of a win, but if we can take more of the chances we make, would really be hoping for another 3 pts.
