The_Steve Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Pacey on the counter. Hopefully we'll be positionally better with Bertrand at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postdeath Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Liverpool tactically annihilated us last time, they completely shut us down. If Lambert isn't completely on point with his tactics then this might get a bit messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 18, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2014 Lowton must be injured I'd have thought - he's our only other CB option - if we lose Clark or Vlaar at CB, I really can't see who we'd put in there - maybe Holt?!

samjp26 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Looking forward to seeing Bertrand getting his first start, interesting line-up although we started with this formation last time around didn't we? Hope Bacuna does okay, he has been doing really well in midfield it would be a shame if he doesn't perform at right back and gets dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwan Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Interesting line up and bench 451 in defense and 433 in attack probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSepulchrave Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Looks like Rodgers is playing a two man midfield. Probably a great tactical decision, hope it backfires big time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'd rather Albrighton in there over Weimann but other than that, that is clearly the best team would could put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would probably put Bacuna there With KEA at right back? We're horribly short of defensive cover. Is our injured back four of Lowton - Okore - Baker - Bennett, better than this one?

samjp26 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Lowton must be injured I'd have thought - he's our only other CB option - if we lose Clark or Vlaar at CB, I really can't see who we'd put in there - maybe Holt?! We would probably put Bacuna there With KEA at right back? We're horribly short of defensive cover. Is our injured back four of Lowton - Okore - Baker - Bennett, better than this one? In all seriousness, if Clark or Vlaar go off injured I think we'll put Bacuna at CB and Luna at left back, switching Bertrand onto the right. My best back four would be Lowton, Okore, Vlaar and Bertrand. Vlaar is the most important player though, without him we are awful.

Pembers Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Lamberts team selections constantly annoy me. Bacuna shouldn't play RB, That midfield 3 does not work, Why is Weimann starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Do we not even a kid who can play defence??? Donacien, looked great in NextGen, but Lambert obviously doesn't fancy chucking him in the deep end at the moment. Sylla or Bacuna to cover CB if required I guess.

OutByEaster? Posted January 18, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hopefully it doesn't happen - our best bet here is to just go at them and try and win it by the odd goal in nine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Who we gunna try and mark out the game Suarez or Sturridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Bacuna has had success at right back, Lowton has been struggling defensively so that might bring some balance to the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
