Liverpool's Pulis Problem

"West Brom is a very, very experienced team with a very experienced manager so they don't come here and want to make it easy for us or easy to enjoy for our crowd," says Klopp.

The Reds' boss is right to be worried about the visit of West Brom, and in particular Tony Pulis. Here's a few reasons why:

- West Brom have scored the joint most goals from corners this season (four)
- Liverpool haven't beat a team managed by Pulis in the league since 2011
- Last five games against Pulis managed teams have resulted in four draws and a defeat
- In 16 games, Pulis has only lost to Liverpool four times
- In those 16 games against Liverpool, there have been nine 0-0 scorelines (Christ!)
- Liverpool drawn four of last six meetings against West Brom
- Liverpool have won just two of last five meetings with West Brom at Anfield

Klopp's plan, seemingly, to combat West Brom's aerial dominance, especially on set pieces, is to dominate the ball and not give them opportunity.

“They are physical and strong, we know about this, and as long as we have the ball, they cannot do something else—they have to defend us," he told the Liverpool Echo.

Quite forgotten this game was even on such is the moist anticipation for any game against West Brom

At least with Lallana starting and probably Gini Wiji as well things will look rather more fluid up to the 18 yard line - what happens beyond that is what matters though.

Hope you're right but a dour 0-0 is far more likely. I think we have a bit more nous about us these days tho so fancy us to sneak it 1 or 2 nil. Have to hang a few doors before putting the feet up for this. Up the mighty Reds.

So it is the end beautiful friend?

With Spurs drawing we really could do with some points here. I expect them to stand strong in defense but hopefully we can find a way through.

Lallana back in for Sturridge, Can keeps his place instead of Wijnaldum who is on the bench.

Would be good to beat WB today, it'll be no surprise what game they'll play here. Hope Karius has a good game, at least not a bad game.

Potential Underachiever

I can't be the only one who was unhappy to see Evans is suspended and the big lanky 'insert expletive' Olsson is playing, I don't like him and he has burnt us before, he scares me from corners.

Osmosis Jones

There's a lot more weight on this game with the results earlier, a win is massive for Liverpool. Playing with just about our best line-up too.

BorneTobyWilde

Delay tactics
We need to play forward against team who sit. not play across and back.
It's key to cut their lines/

mada999

need to win.... simple as that.... dont care how we get it..... just get it !!

BorneTobyWilde

Won't be easy to break them down, will be tougher if they score the first.

Osmosis Jones

Not sure about that goal kick, Lovren under pressure before he even gets the ball.

BorneTobyWilde

A lot of 0-0 results today. West Ham got a 1-0 in added time. It could be trend of the day, 0-0

Milner seems to have to shift ball to his right to cross. Costs seconds every time.

Osmosis Jones

Our passing isn't nearly crisp enough to get through these defences.

BorneTobyWilde

Henderson a safety first player far too often.
Receives a pass and plays it off first time when he has all the time in the world to look up and play a pass forward.

he'll play the position differently to Gini and Lallana but he'll be effective. He can take men out on the dribble rather than his movement off the ball.

He is also more physical than those two.

You didn't say that midweek old boy.

This is very much plan A too, obviously.

murpho999

That was the best team goal I have seen from a Liverpool in a long time. Loved then dummy from Couthinho.
