Pre match : Arsenal v Liverpool : 22nd Dec, 19.45

In theory like Bournemouth a game which should suit the Reds geggenpressing style.

However Arsenal are no mugs at the Emirates and this will be one of our toughest games of the year because going forward they will cause our back line serious concerns.

Wenger made 11 changes for the game last night showing which game he is taking most serious.

Back line picks itself and although Trent and Gomez have been rotating I think Gomez is a better defender and should be picked for this one.
I would drop Gini for this one and go with the fab 4 and put greater onus on Coutinho for a greater contribution defensively when needed.

Karius
Gomez
Lovren
Klavan
Robertson

Henderson
Ox
Coutinho

Mane
Salah
Firmino

I'd be more nervous if we were playing a Stoke or West Brom at Anfield to be honest.

That being said, Arsenal have an excellent home record bar the hiccup against United who had De Gea to thank for the win!

I will be out for this one after work buzzing for Christmas so we better win or that buzz will disappear! 

Going to be a big test - shouldn't forget that we shipped 9 goals at City and Spurs so we've got to go out there and showed we've learnt something from those games.

I'd go same again (unless Lallana is 100% but don't think he will be yet), don't like the balance of the side when all of the the front four play, especially away from home at a top 6 side. Mane will just have to wait for his opportunity.

The four dropped points at home recently means we could really do with a win here but a draw wouldn't be a disaster.

I'd go:

Mignolet (Id prefer Karius tho)

Gomez
Klavan
Lovren
Robertson

Hendo
Can
Cou

Salah
Firmino
Mane

Good lineup, I’d be surprised if you aren’t dead on.

We will win this one 2-1.

It all depends on Ozil and Sanchez, if they continue to play for their transfers then I think it could be a very tricky game, if they don't then we should romp to a win.

If we could breach their midfield, they'll be in big big trouble. I don't hope to see Wijnaldum start. he's too slow and took too long to decide what to do with the ball and often goes missing. I would pair Can and Ox.

Genuinely don't mean this the wrong way but do you ever go live to the match? Or mainly watch on tv?

Arse are decent at home but can be got at if the right tactics are employed, going forward they do have a formidable attack but ours is better and more lethal,
If Wenger has his wits about him he'll ensure his defence are on their toes to try and deter what in essence is the best attack in the league(arguably)

Its in midfield where the game will be won or lost, very tempted to go with the same aka B'mouth, however I'm concerned Hendo won't have the same freedom so i think he'll revert back to DM with Gini & Can alongside, personally i'd stick with Ox but can't see Jürgen being sympathetic and will prefer strength over flare,

Hope he plays Karius ahead of Migs but probably not......

Let's tw*t this cockney sh*te again Redmen!!

I'd take a draw. 

We have failed so far in our top 6 away games -  Man City and Spurs - so a point added to the 3 we took off them at home wouldn't be that bad IMO.

               Mignolet
Gomez  Lovren Klavan Robertson
         Ox Coutinho Can
       Salah Mané Firminho

This game no rotation, but simply the best we got.

Yeah I would play that midfield and attack as well. Good chance to see what Ox is made of against his old team.

Think Jürgen will play Mig instead of Karius, which is ok with me ( although Karius is looking a bit better than he did last season).
I'm not sure between Gomez and TAA. Gomez is stronger in the tackle etc but he still has a tendency to play people onside - he did again against Bournemouth, when Defoe hit the post. I like him, but he's still learning. Ditto for TAA, but going forward he is more of a threat so I'd maybe go with him.

Jürgen might go with a Crucial 3 rather than the Fab 4, but I'd play them all. I think Coutinho can play in centre midfield for us. At any rate I think we haven't yet found out that he can't.

You have to compete in midfield especially between your box to the halfway line. You have to double up on them down the flanks and stay tight thru the middle. You need numbers in there so a solid back 5 would be my choice:

                                                                                         Mig
                                  TAA..................... ...Gomez............Lovr en.........Klaven....... ....Robertson

                                                               Can..................Hen derson.........Alex
                                                         
                                                                            Salah................Cou tinho

Bit tough on Bob but we need the numbers thru the middle. Alex gives pace from midfield. But I think it will be tight tense game with a lot at stake. We might just be better off keeping a tight close match and try to counter with our pace.

Madness, there is no way I would leave both Mane and Firmino out. It has to be full strength.

                 Mignolet
Gomez  Lovren Klavan Robertson
         Ox Coutinho Can
       Salah Mané Firminho

I would go for this, the only unsure selection is whether Henderson or Can.

I'd take a draw.

Agreed, we’ve been F***ing sh*t away from home against the top boys so far. I’ll take a draw

Agreed, we’ve been f**king sh*t away from home against the top boys so far. I’ll take a draw

In fairness though against Citeh we were competitive until we lost Mane but against Spurs we were sh*te, a really bad day at the office.
I fancy us to win this one though, just have a good feeling about it, they like to attack and we can exploit that but there will be plenty of goals.

We have the momentum and the good form, match is away, fancy us to win this one.
Would play:

                 Karius
Gomez Klavan Lovren Robertson
            Hendo Gini
       Salah Coutinho Mane
              Firmino

But think Migs will start.
Only other question is whether AOC or Mane start. Sometimes players going back to their old clubs can underperform, so would start Mane. In saying that, Jürgen sees them every day, so if Mane's form is way off, maybe AOC gets the start.
Too early in his comeback to start Lallana. Not sure Can starts based on recent form.

This is a massive game one of our direct rivals for top 4.  They are not playing in CL so a huge 6 pointer.  They know that and will be prepared.  We have proven too strong for them under this regime but lets not count our eggs before they hatch.   This is a massive game and 3 points will be gold dust.

Madness, there is no way I would leave both Mane and Firmino out. It has to be full strength.

I would go for this, the only unsure selection is whether Henderson or Can.

Well if you think Klopp will play 5 offensive players with Can the only genuine midfielder, I mean well Pip put that team up..

No this is a tough away game against probably our main rival for a top 4 place so we don't want a team that is straight out of * fantasy football*...firstly against these top teams away from home you want to be HARD TO BEAT...and that means  picking a team that is capable of getting a result and not one that goes out there on a wing and a prayer..

Get a draw- nick a win and we have 4/6 points off them.

I had a good feeling about spurs and that went tits up.

F**kin hell mate, do you think Hodgson is still in charge?

I fancy us to beat Arsenal. They are the softest touch of our big rivals and they don't like teams that hustle them out of their stride.
Obviously they have talent, but if we come out guns blazing I think we will cause them more problems than vice versa.

F**king hell mate...can't you see that I have effectively only made one change from the team that beat Bournemouth...and that is TAA in as a wing back/full back, Firmino misses out....Can comes in for Wijnaldum...but the only real change is TAA in at the expense of Bob.

F**king hell mate...Arsenal are a better team than Bournemouth. Klopp may not play the side or the set up I have outlined but he will consider playing 3 across the center with 2 wing backs....but f**king hell mate just because we bang the goals in against poor teams doesn't mean we will just carry on banging them in..we have to actually think things thru when we play one of the top teams in Europe.

He's not going to pull the trigger to his press in Firmino against Arsenal...might do it against Swansea no way he does against a team that is not going to sit back and will actually play football. He is also not going to play Trent and Gomez at the same time going up against Sanchez and co......expect to see Gomez at FB as part of a back 4 that is not going to be very adventurous; probably only 1 of Gomez/Robinson bombing on with the other one staying home.

They have a soft mid and would expect to see us trying to muscle them so I agree it very well might be Hendo/Can...however I expect to see Coutinho at the tip of the mid-field with Mane Firmino Salah up top if all are fit and firing. He is no way going to play Coutinho as part of a 2 man front line.

He's going to rotate Swansea/LC I think but go full on this match.

The last two matches we played them we have beaten them soundly playing attacking high pressing footy...don't think that is going to change in this match.

Terrible team selection.

Glad he isn’t picking the team

Manè will be Motm for this, I don't.know why but got the feeling he is going to do something special...

I'd play the same line-up that beat Bournemouth. Ox deserves to keep his place and Mane's form has not been so good recently so i'd start him on the bench plus I liked the balance of the Hendo-Gigi-Ox midfield.

It'll be interesting to see if we can maintain our excellent defensive form in the EPL since the Spurs loss. I saw some interesting stats that has us sitting first or second in a range of categories during that time including: Goals conceded, shots conceded, shots on target and opposition touches in our penalty box.

would be massive to win this one but I've got a feeling it'll finish 2-2.

Terrible team selection.

Bobby should be first name on the teamsheet, his work rate alone cements a place on it's own, also why play two LB's next to two CB's and a RB we won't be parking a fookin bus , give it some thought fella, too much negativity and very much a losing mentality.

Are you Pulis in disguise?


YNWA

someone said it earlier - swansea at home with a new manager will be more difficult than this- I think a high scoring 3-3 draw

I'd say we have to get three points in this one. Last thing we need on a hungover Boxing Day to Swansea is desperation.

All depends on our midfield. If we're sharp enough in the middle, we'll get the three points.

Just go out and beat the Arse' it would be the ideal Christmas present, for all Reds fans.

Can for gini, otherwise same again, sorry sadio

Hello Brendan Rodgers, How is it in Scotland? Missing Joe Allen much?

What is all this love for Karius about or did your spouses hack your accounts? Where is some actual proof that Karius is better? Karius played a lot less minutes for us against a lot less quality overall. I still don't trust him.

Quicker off his line
Quicker to release the ball
Better kicker
Pretty much as good at shot stopping

So just those three other things makes him a better keeper.

Betting Sadio plays from the start.

What are you talking about?

Mane to score a hat trick.

Think we are in for a Christmas Cracker of a match.
One that will showcase the excitement of the premier league and will entertain all non Liverpool and Arse fans but will have both sets of fans bitting their nails.
Going for a 4-4 classic
Think klopp may go for three at the back but hope not.
I would select:
Mig
Gomez
Lovren
Klaven
Robertson
Henderson
Can
Coutinho
Mane
Firmino
Salah

Bench:
Karius
TAA
Milner
Gini
Sturidge
Ings
Chamberlain

I think Lacazette is he danger man tonight, need to give him no space.

It should be a great game as both teams love to play football. I’ll be out with my pals fu**ed off my head so I’m hoping for a boost to bring me back to life

Back to the Future for just the defence please

Laughing at one of the arsenal itk's saying there will be a player backlash tonight if Alexis starts, personally if he doesn't i will be doing cartwheels (not literally of course)

I just got the news that my teacher's holiday party will end earlier. Will only lose about 30 mins of the game but better than nothing!

Come on Reds.

NB: Team no longer available

I would drop Mane because he isn't at his best. Will play Solanke upfront or move Firmino to the centre and play AOC.

This is not the game for resting players, it's going to come down to who attacks best, and that's why we'll win!

What new boss - has Wenger been sacked?

i thought he was sacked after we thrashed them, i know somebody was... Maybe it was bilic from West ham.

No, he was sacked before just before we played them. Bilic was only sacked this November.

Counting down to the game now. Looking forward to it, hoping for an entertaining one - that we go on to win !

Jürgen generally throws in one or two selection surprises, but be hard to believe we'd start without Cou/Salah/Bob - surely those guys will start.  Would like Karius to start, but assume will be Migs again.

Go at them from the start, high tempo, unsettle them, get the crowd antsy - no reason we can't go here, be confident, and get the win.

CMON BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumours that the fab four are starting tonight's game, can in for gini.

Rumours that the fab four are starting tonight's game, can in for gini.

Can in for Wijnaldum? That would be a very big surprise for me. Wijnaldum is at his absolute best in games like this, high tempo, pressing, transitions, counter-attacking, ... That's his bread and butter. He was brilliant in our 3-4 win there last season.

Then again, if we're playing all four of them, we're going to need the two who play in front of the defence to do their defensive duties well while our attacking four run riot.

Not going to bother with a line-up myself, there will be some surprises in there.

Couldn't have wished for a more exciting game to look forward to on my birthday. Here's to a great game, with brilliant attacking football and lots of goals. Of course the Mighty Reds take it home in the end!

Noticed the Arsenal cup game is going to have the first test of the new video officiating system in place (not sure if it's been played yet), the gazelle cup or whatever it's supposed to be, bleeding heck.
Arsene likes to whinge about decisions constantly. Lets hope they haven't bought this game by being the first to test out that technology.

 Here is to hoping we have a good game to watch, COYR good luck!

I think it is a form thing. Gini looks out of form. It is probably the right call. Give Gini a rest and let him compete for a place again. There should not be any auto starters in our team bar a few players.

Then again, if we're playing all four of them, we're going to need the two who play in front of the defence to do their defensive duties well while our attacking four run riot.

Not going to bother with a line-up myself, there will be some surprises in there.

Couldn't have wished for a more exciting game to look forward to on my birthday. Here's to a great game, with brilliant attacking football and lots of goals. Of course the Mighty Reds take it home in the end!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE,

Best pressy will be a Redmen victory!

Hope you get Rat Arsed celebrating our win

it is probably good for away games. Takes away the home advantage a bit.

I'm not against the video decisions, I'd have to see more of how exactly it's implemented. Say your team has so many ask for video judgement choices in a game.
Seeing the diving and manipulation of refs is really making me half despise football, I still love it though.
I'm hoping they haven't got some preferential allowance because they agreed to be the first, I'll put it out there before the game, just in case we're like wth was that all about in terms of decisions.

Why are we dropping Ox?

Decisions tend to go to the home team when it is 50/50, so I think it could be advantageous to us today if this stops that.

It's not for our game though, it's a test in their cup game.
I really think it might be essential to get video decisions in future. It's a pity, but footy has got ridiculous in terms of players being wimps and getting decisions.

Ah okay, I miss read. Standard of refereeing is not very good nowadays, so some technology should be fast tracked in. Hopefully IFAB will see that sooner rather than later.

No worries, but yeah, how many times do you think no way, that's spoilt the game? More often than not, football is at a point where it's needs to be here now.
Especially international football, I do think there is corruption all over the place. The world cup for instance, take away all ambiguity and implement this stuff.

On topic, I think Firmino will be the key today or Lallana could be back for a full game, think we've missed him so much. Drop cou into deep midfield so he doesn't think he's Messi and we're good to go.

Confirmed the fab 11 start
