      Draw wouldn't be too bad here considering this is probably the hardest fixture we have left.

      I don't know why he would when we could still comfortably field a 4-3-3.

      I guess it's more about tactic than personnel, although Mane being out obviously affects everything.

      Lovren in the Echo today basically confirms this is what we'll do vs. West Brom. I think it is partly because Hendo is out as our best option for a deeper-sitting midfielder. If he gets back in (and I'm afraid that is an "if" not a "when"), they may go back to 4-3-3.

      So Sunday I'm thinking

      Migs
      Clyne, Matip, Klavan, Lovren, Milner
      Can, Gini, Phil (reckon he's playing almost a free role in this - of course in JĆ¼rgen's system it's hard to pin down any of the forwards' positions)
      Divock, Bobby

      This is what Lovren said in the Echo:
      ā€œStoke is a similar team to West Brom with long balls, and we played the system (3 center backs) quite well in the second half,ā€ he said.

      ā€œI think itā€™s a perfect mix for us - Matip in the middle, me on the right because Iā€™m right-footed, and Raggy (Klavan) on the left because heā€™s left-footed. Itā€™s quite a good mix."

      He likes it better than I do, but he would know by this point of the week what system they are practicing with for the match, so...looks like 3-5-2.

      Always a tw*t of a game against this lot..
      It doesn't matter whether we play with a back 3 or a back 4 we have to be focused when those crosses come in, especially at corners.
      I watched them destroy Arsenal a few weeks ago from quick crosses and not getting tight enough to their big men attacking the ball.
      Apart from that they really are sh*te !

      If our two Brazilians can turn it on again we should put this game to bed..

      The first 20 minutes will be crucial for us.. no stupid corners given away and no daft free kicks.

      I won't be home to create the Live thread because of Easter lunch with my family. I leave my magic to anyone who can do it.

      We need to win this to guarantee us a place in top 4. After a week of preparation, we should do it.

      Hendo comes in for Can if fit. Danny to come on if we're behind.

      No chance for hendo , reports suggestion firmino won't start, pictures of him with the fitness coach and not wearing boots. Hoping for the perfect birthday present,  3 points

               Mignolet
      Clyne Lovren Matip Moreno
           Milner Can Gini
      Coutinho Sturridge Firmino

      With Origi to replace Studge, and Lucas for Moreno late on :) ... won't happen.

      Feeling confident ahead of this one. Such an important win last week. The manner of it, crap in first half, but upped it really well in the 2nd to take all the points.

      WB have 1 pt from 3 PL matches I think - so they are not pulling up any trees. Would expect them to be workmanlike like Stoke were, but if we show intent up front, think we should do em.

      Shitty have tougher game away to our feeder club, and Utd are playing Chavs.  3 points would be very nice thanks...

      Just the thought of playing against a Pulis team makes me nervous like no other team.

      Even though the Baggies are safe from relegation and have nothing to play for you just know that bald headed dinosaur loves nothing more than putting one over on one of the foreign managers.

      More than any other game we are going to have concentrate on all set pieces and in fact make sure we don't give away any needless free kicks.

      We are a better footballing team man to man so just play our game and don't make any defensive errors we should be ok, easy said with LFC!

      Personally I'm not a big fan of the three at the back and in fact our CB's don't seem to offer us any more protection than the two at the back so hoping we start with Matip and Lovren, Klavan should be no where near the first team.
      Doesn't look like Lallana will be back so maybe Lucas with his aerial ability might be an option in midfield alongside Can and Gini.

      The Brazilians should be fully rested and ready to start. I would start with Divock and bring on Danny for the second half.

      Migs
      Clyne
      Matip
      Lovren
      Milner

      Lucas
      Can
      Gini

      Coutinho
      Firmino
      Origi
      i would go with that.

      I don't think I would, not at the business end of the season, I think we'll win here, wont be pretty and will be nervy, but think the remembrance of the 96 and our traveling kopites will help navigate us through a tricky away fixture.

      They'll try and do a Leicester on us.. I'm convinced of it.
      Big f**kin long ale house balls upfield and long throw ins into the box...
      We've just got to be hungrier for the win and as LFCREDBLOOD said earlier the spirits of the 96 will be on our side and will blow Pulis's stupid baseball cap off his egg head.

      Apparently Firmino will begin on the bench again, so we may see Sturridge on at the beginning with Origi, and Coutinho behind the strikers along with Can and Gini in Mid,and the 5 at the back as I mentioned before.

      Don't know how long JĆ¼rgen figures Sturridge is good for.

      Other options would be Woodburn with Origi, Coutinho up front with Origi and TAA or Marko Grujic as the third midfielder, or Lucas at D-Mid and Gini and Can playing higher.
