      Fair enough . In your opinion then if it was a one off game to win the league or a cup who would you go with using current squad presuming all fit in Midfield ie your best Midfield ?

      this is the problem for the RECORD it is a fact we have lost 2 just 2 league games in 67 and this season we have lost 1 game and drawn 1 game so I don't have an "opinion" I have facts that Jürgen uses all of his squad to great effect and those wanting a tweak here or a tweak there are just posting for posting's sake. We have posters complaining about Mo who score 7 goals every 10 games he plays for us and yet that's not good enough for some. We had season after season of Hendo being attacked on this very forum despite the fact he  was playing exactly in a way the manager wanted him to play. Seriously if your looking for faults in this team or with this manager then you have to question why you support this club because when this period of "success" is over what then

      If, and its a big if, teams have figured out how to neutralise our attacks then we have to get more creativity in midfield, on Wednesday I want us to be much more positive and direct than recent games and really slice through Atletico'defence, crosses won't work against them.

      1 I didn't ask for your opinion
      2. Find where I have dug out Hendo or Mo on  a regular basis
      3 Please dont question my loyalties to this club

      I asked a F***ing simple question to a knowledgeable member who basically he would pick as his strongest midfield why are you ramming facts at me do you not think I know this you constantly get involved in very childish responses to peoples posts

      What makes you laugh is that during the last year ish of Rodgers tenure Walton along with a couple others were slagging off everything to do with everything at that point..
      His choice like as is if someone questions something now - if anyone else agrees or not it's just an opinion - but to pretend that he has never slagged anything off and hes the Bastian of unbridled support is quite funny

      I personally trust 100% Jürgen, I'm not saying others dont like but I back him to work out anything.. whoever's he picks, however he sets us up.. if teams have worked a way to negate us at this minute, Jürgen will sort it

      Bascombe tweets that Jordan is fit to return tomorrow.

      I was trying to imagine the scenario where some physio or doctor approaches him at Melwood to say: "Right, you are coming along well but this game is just a little too soon for you. You'll have to miss it."

      I think that might be followed by news reports of a missing medical staff member. "He just disappeared," said one insider. "The last anyone saw him he was talking to Hendo about tomorrow's match..."

      I still like Fab, Gini and Hendo to start. I realize Milner did well on Saturday, but if he were to come I think it would be in place of Hendo. I think Fabinho and Gini are locks to start, despite Fabinho not quite showing his top form since return from injury.

      This midfield will give us loads of possession, and Robbo, Sadio, Bobby, Mo and Trent will take care of the creativity. It's vital to keep Atletico out of our net.

      No No No, that midfield is WAY to negative, yes we'd have possession and would be doing lovely sideways passes all game but it would create very little and Atletico could just focus on marking our front three and blocking Robbo and Trent and game done, safe in the knowledge that the midfield is impotent.

      We have to have at least one attacking midfielder tomorrow, be that Keita, Ox or even Lallana

      You had your more creative minded midfield for Watford and Chelsea games, we scored 0 goals, created next to nothing & were bullied for large parts of the game. Robby's midfield is the right one, providing of course Henderson is fit

      Watford is irrelevant as the whole team was sh*te, against Chelsea we made 7 changes incl 2 to the front line, despite that we created plenty of chances so Chelsea backs up my point, thanks.

      I’m sure that negative midfield won us the champions league last year, lost the league by 1 point & have walked the league this year..

      Created next to nothing after for the final 75 minutes of the game after Chelsea got their first. Henderson, Wijnaldum & Fabinho is our big game midfield & it's gotten results in important PL matches & in a Champions League final

      Oh wow don't use the CL final as a yard stick, that game was bloody awful, apart from the result ;-).
      I agree that Henderson, Wijnaldum & Fabinho is a very solid midfield, but against a mega defensive team like Atletico it lacks creativity, we MUST have an attack angle through the middle otherwise we'll end up crossing harmless balls into the box for 90 minutes.

      Exactly. We got the result. Same result that would see us through tonight if we repeated it

      Bear in mind we were also 1-0 up after about a minute so the need for any sort of direct / creative football was massively reduced from the second minute onwards

      If you play with two holders to counter the counter attacks then you play your full backs high up, narrow your three forwards and have your false 9 in a hole behind the other two then that's where your creativity comes from.. the full backs (there arent a better two than ours for that) and Bobby in the hole..

      Dont fall into the trap that creativity can only come from your midfield

      The less obvious your tactics are, the harder they are to defend

      You can also have Gini breaking the lines and attacking late

      Yep.

      He always seemed like a great guy when I spoke with him on here but following him on Twitter and he's an even better guy!

      Pretty sure one or two on here have dropped into his pub over the years.
