      I would play play robertson at right full back and Tsmikas on on the left.  Milner in midfield with Gini and Keita. 

      Feel like is Tsmikas got a couple more games in and played good in thise games it would be a good shout.

      Sorry bud, I wouldn't play Robbo RFB as he has no right foot.

      I would vote no on the Robbo to right back idea as well, sorry Billy. When Millie plays left back we always lose something re crosses because he has to pull the ball back to his right and hit it from deeper. Robbo gives us so much when he can bomb forward on the left. Let Millie play more defensively and help deal with Vardy.

      Of course Vardy can switch flanks as well, and then Klopp might also surprise and play Neco from the start.

      Fair comment mate, just a idea, your probably right regarding Robbo as RB, just donā€™t want Vardy getting any joy from that side or anywhere for that matter, heā€™d breeze past Milner before he knew it, thatā€™s what concerns me the most, I guess weā€™ll all be on edge regardless though.


      We need the team sheet to put us at ease 🙈

      This has the makings of a cracking game. Predicting the line up and formation is just guesswork at this stage, but whoever we play, I've every confidence that we can win, but it will be tough . I'd take any kind if win to be honest (dodgy VAR call included. We're due one), wouldn't be surprised if it ends in a draw. I've went for a 2-2 in the prediction league.

      This our first Sunday night game?

      Think I prefer this kind of time to the 4pm Sunday ones tbh.  Obviously when fans are back, this kick off time would be ridiculous.

      Really confident about tonight. Love it when Liverpool are being written off. We should dominate the ball so just have to make sure when they do break weā€™re not outnumbered because they break so well with Vardy Barnes and this new fella from Roma.

      The issue with Milner at Rightback is Vardy and his pace, I think we will have to play a lower line to combat this.

      I think where ever you play Milner, Vardy will target him for the difference in pace. Vardy happy to play down the middle, or drift right or left.
       We need a slightly different strategy for this one.
      What we need is one facing up Vardy with a second a bt deeper. He has to push the ball on to benefit his pace, with a cover sitting slightly deeper, that fucks it.
      Don't care how many they score, as long as we score one more !

      I'm nervous about this due to our injuries etc, but they have injuries at the back as well. Still going for the wi, and will likely feel a bit more confident when I see the line up. In JĆ¼rgen we trust. C.O.Y.M. RED MEN.

      If we do its going to be very difficult. Even with all our issues, with 55000 in there today id be confident. But without ...

      We cant keep conceeding first and expect to win. As I said earlier in the thread, if fit id have fabinho in midfield today with gini and keita. If we control the midfield and cut off the supply to vardy we have a great chance.

      Matip and philips along with milner and robbo can deal with the danger at the back.

      Shaqiri for Mo, Jota and Mane make up my team.

      I remember this lot on Boxing Day of last year thinking they where the dogs bollocks as did all the so called F***ing football. experts until they got blasted off the pitch at anfield & whilst we didnā€™t have the injuries then as we do now I still expect the reds to shut  the same people up as we did last year especially that crisp munching tw*t lineker.

      Performance of the season that was. Probably one of the top 5 Premier League displays I've seen from Liverpool. Glorious stuff.

      Leicester never really recovered from that.

      I think you're seriously over-estimating them cockney tw*ts!!

      Chelsea will win 2 or three games then lose a game and Spurs haven't got it in them to go a full season playing the way Jose wants to.

      With City losing to Tottenham the Leiceister game becomes easier - just not lose (and we are more than able to do that). City is our only concern

      Timo Werner is a ā€œqualityā€ player and we ā€œmissed outā€ on him. This is why I am so afraid. Iā€™m afraid of Nathan Ake too. Otherwise City would not acquire him.

      Iā€™m afraid of Leicester tonight too, from Brendan to Jamie. Iā€™m afraid of losing tonight.  :mad:
