Liverpool 2-1 Sheffield United: In game and Post Match discussion

Anfield waiting for the Champions to get back to winning





Starting XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jota, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Jones, Minamino, Shaqiri, Phillips, N. Williams.

Alisson Becker returns to the starting line-up and Diogo Jota begins in Liverpool’s Premier League encounter with Sheffield United this evening.

Alisson is back between the posts for the champions having missed the last three games due to a collarbone injury.

Jota, meanwhile, is named in the XI alongside Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

Fabinho continues in defence next to Joe Gomez, while Jordan Henderson returns in midfield.

Ooooh a 4231

And Ali is back. Wonderful

Strong team COYR

Big to get Alisson in there. Sensible to take it slow with Thiago.

Four attackers is interesting though, hope it pays off.

Looks like Firmino could be in that CAM role, my Klopp master stroke moment of the season, called it all week 

Really attacking team, I like the team.

Come on Reds.

Good to have Ali back and like having Jota starting along with Bobby, Mo and Mané.

Went for a 3 0 but, I think we can win by a few more.

Come on you Redmen!

Strong lineup. And Keita, ffs, is he ever going to play again. Even Shaq is back!

4231 very attacking line up.

Jürgen rolls out the LFC Reds demanded lineup. Heaven help us. 

No Thiago. No Naby. No Joel Matip and no Divock Origi who I have to say has been looking very disconsolate in the bits of video I've seen from training, traveling, etc.

Nat Phillips is apparently preferred as the backup center back with Virgil and Joel out.

Welcome back Alisson.

Delighted to see Alisson back..

Yessssssss, welcome back Ali, we've f***in missed you like you wouldn't know,
Great to see Jota starting too, fully confident we'll win this comfortably, Fab with Joe is a good sign that Jürgen is happy with those two as a pairing, not a lot of choice of course but good for consistency,

Now let's go and batter blades, and get us back on track  !


3 - 0 Champions

Bobby behind Salah with Mane on the right and Jota on the left most likely. Shef Utd at home is the type of game where you put all 4 in.

Jason McAteer guesses Mane will be the one deployed farthest forward with  Mo still on the right.

It's also mentioned by Phil Thompson that these four players can interchange positions all night and of course it's never terribly rigid in Jürgen's system.

Rhian Brewster gets his full debut for Sheffield United.

Sheffield United: Ramsdale, Baldock, Basham, Egan, Ampadu, Stevens, Berge, Lundstram, Osborn, McBurnie, Brewster.

Subs: Verrips, Sharp, Burke, Jagielka, Norwood, McGoldrick, Robinson.

Man u and Chelsea draw 0 0 another good result must take advantage

Come on boys results been good so far today let's put these to the sword no pun intended

Strong lineup. And Keita, ffs, is he ever going to play again. Even Shaq is back!

I think Keita absence may be Covid related is my guess.

Alison.. WTF 😳

Get in there Redmen..

3-0

Bobby in the hole just off the front 3 probing making the link. Could be the new role in the supposed easier home games. Interesting. Could actually help the defence sit a few yards deeper.

4231 very attacking line up.

Benitez set up..

Needed some thing like Alison coming back for me for the fans and the team.  Sheffield have had a bad start to the season lets make it worse, lets give them a thumping. 

I think Keita absence may be Covid related is my guess.

Just hope Nabby can get fit and fight for his place.Just been stop start for the man.
