Trent as the holding midfiielder haha you will reel a few in with that one. ☺️
Dunno mate, Trent as a six isn’t the worst idea, he’s capable for sure reads the game well can obviously pass, only his defensive frailties go against it and against City he’ll get exposed, so Trent as a six isnt a bad shout but Not against this lot, would he be any worse than Macca??
Maybe Joe as a six would be more apt, arguably he defends better than both Trent & Macca, he can also read the game well but his passing isn’t as accurate, plenty food for thought until Andre arrives in Jan, so far though our defensive stats are the best in the league so no one can say it’s our weak spot, or it isn’t working!!
I’m hoping Grav is good to go, him Szlobo with either Macca or Harvey would be my midfield, with Diaz, Jota & Mo up top, hold Nunez back, then release him on 70mins, let him run riot on tired legs and minds, don’t listen to the usual bullshit mind games of Haaland being injured , is he F**k, he didn’t play Vs Scotland cos Pep probably demanded he didn’t, De Bruyen being fit smells of the same sh*te,
This isn’t nor was ever a title decision fixture, but what it will or should tell us how far we’ve come from last season, the ultimate test if you will of Klopp pt2, a indication of the progress we’ve made thus far, fact is we should be top, and knowing that the league doesn’t lie, you would think that would be enough of a sign we have indeed turned a corner, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever we can’t go to and turn these frauds over, they’re still a well oiled machine but it has its gremlins and are certainly not invincible the media seem to believe,
The early KO hasn’t been kind to us to say the least, maybe this is a deliberate ploy, who knows but this will be our 15th 12.30 KO, with Spuds on 7, the next closest, can’t be right that however you look at it ??
Anyhoo….I’m thinking this….
Alisson
Trent Matip Virgil Gomez
Macca
Gakpo Szlobos
Salah Jota Diaz
Flipped a coin over Gakpo & Elliot, while Elliot provides more energy, I’d be equally happy with Gakpo for his physicality rather than his flair, also he’s more of a goal threat, so went with him, if Grav is indeed fit it’s a no brainer,
Jota thru the middle for me is more of a threat than from the left, and Nunez with his pace & power will prove a major headache for a tired City defence late on.
