Any chance Klopp could spring the ultimate surprise and go all out heavy metal attack from the outset with Sturridge and Benteke up top?

Mingolet

Clyne, Lovren, Toure, Moreno

Can, Milner

Coutinho, Lallana

Sturridge Benteke?

It would leave us very vulnerable in midfield but if they pick a team to park the bus.........

Not a chance. Neither Sturridge or Benteke like to press, Klopp barely puts up with one of them in the team, let alone both. If Origi was fit, then there'd be a possibility of 2 up top for a match like this, but it's still not Klopp's style to play two strikers, ever.

This could be a game where Big Ben is actually of some use if started, but Moreno will need to put in some good crosses - Milner certainly will.

This is a fun read on the guardian - the Ineptness Index. Liverpool score well in one or two well known areas of the pitch http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/may/05/premier-league-ineptitude-index-2015-16-leicester-city

Aston Villa 79
West Bromwich Albion 74
Norwich 70
Crystal Palace 67
Newcastle 63
Liverpool 61
Everton 58
Swansea City 57
Bournemouth 57
Tottenham Hotspur 51
Watford 50
Arsenal 47
Chelsea 42
West Ham 41
Stoke 36
Sunderland 36
Southampton 29
Leicester 28
Manchester City 24
Manchester United 10

Said it last week but I would go with Benteke up top with firm instructions to get himself into the box and no pissing about on the wings or dropping deep. The game is going to play out almost exactly like last week and I would rather see crosses knocked into Benteke than Sturridge pot shots into Row Z.

I don't see how he can drop Allen after recent performances.

I never understand Lallana being picked, he's useless as far as I can see. And I definitely don't like Lallana, Firmino and Coutinho being on the pitch with a striker as well, it leaves too much hard work for the others in the team. It's all or nothing, it needs everything to go our way or its bust.

I'm not sure about bringing Can back in after injury but you'd have to see him in training. Lucas does a good DM job.

Lalana is nearly always the first point of the press. He's like a Jack Russell chaing players down.

Agreed, but I would have hoped for a little less headless chicken, and a little more skill/positive contribution to the team would do a little more for us as an attacking player. I haven't seen the stats, but as far as I can see he rarely provides goals or assists against decent opposition.

Lallana is picked for his pressing and he is very good at it, I loose count how many times a game he knicks back possession, the problem with him is he isn't creative enough and doesn't do much with it when he has it.
If I'm dropping anyone its Firmino who hasn't been at the races lately.

Allen for me has to start aswell.

Klopp teams need people like Lalana who will press early and force the opposition into mistakes or playing the ball early.

What you want is people like Lalana to win the ball high up the field lay it off to another player and make a run to show for the ball again to create space.

I agree he hasn't gotten enough goals or assists for us but his other work has been great for the team in the last 6 months.

Match thread here lads. I think this game needs at least two poster's mojo and me and Lloyd worked so well against Dortmund.

Seats going in on the upper tier of the new stand, from RAWK, Barcelona officials have been visiting the club to see how Liverpool have kept the stadium at near full capacity while expanding it (Nou Camp is going to get an expansion/refurb)

We all now the Barca scouts were just using that as a cover to keep tabs on Coutinho

martyos121

And we'll reveal our capacity secrets to them for the modest sum of one Luis Suarez.

LuckyLloyd

Us to qualify is an enhanced offer on Paddy Power. Means we won't be qualifying.

DrumSteve

Stadium looks great. FSG, in the main, have been quite good for liverpool.

SuperTortoise

BornTobyWilde standby please, we may need your input early in the second half!

Agent Coulson

Coutinho named in the Brazil squad for the Copa Firmino isn't.

Big game for Sturridge..... only 2 hat tricks will do.

Turtyturd

Whatever happens don't go in 2-0 up at half time.

Turtyturd

Oh Lallana.

Can is the difference so far.

Absolutely immense.

Amazing the difference when he hasn't that clown Skertl beside him. The real boss tho is Can..... what a talent.

SuperTortoise

Great first half, Can looks like he never missed a game, the goals will come, we'll be fine.

K-9

Not bad first half, we'd still be waiting for Benteke to be in the box for the goal Turd.

What a soft yellow for Clyne.

Can and Milner very good and no stupid pot shots with Sturridge on the pitch.

marklazarcovic

their either gonna get sent off or get us sent off ,awful gamesmanship

Kolo's a legend. Imagine what a beast Yaya would be if he had the spirit of Kolo

Wasn't going to say anything but since you mention it Sturridge has spent more time deeper than Firmino than in the box.

Firmino should have put his hands on his head in disgust too when the ball went in. :pac:

Pot shot.
