Good team, I think a lot of pressure is on Milner in this game though I must admit.
If he starts to wander forward we could get exposed on the break, if he holds his ground and not get ahead of play I think we can win with some security. Huge pressure on the pair of them in the middle and I hope Emre is not too far away from full fitness.
Bench is thin, Benteke as the only real threat from there (don't want to see Ibe after his most recent displays). Lucas the only real security (Smith has looked dodgy recently. So the 'game changer' is potentially Allen who by some reports is injured anyway.
Need a strong start, get the lads in the right rhythm and we can win this game by 3-0 3-1. Time to show Villarreal that they should be afraid of Anfield, that it will affect their game and that it will be a driving force for our players, bring it on!!
