Topic: Liverpool vs Brentford (Premier League) - 17:30, Saturday 6th May

[Bobinhood]

We should Bee ok despite all the Buzz.

[xbugawugax]

I agree with comments about Milner starting over Elliott if Henderson doesn't make it today. 100%.

yup milner, fab, curtis

not our best but just on availability which have been the story of our season

at least our attackers are pretty much ok(lets hope there isn't any more last minute injuries during warm up)

salah, cody and diaz up front?

[darragh85]

A win later and united will start to feel us a bit more. They have games in hand but we are just there now. Puts some pressure on them

[andy07]

Really important that we make a fast start to this, Brentford are no mugs and will make it tough. Hopefully the crowd will be up for it and we cut the gap to United to one point.

[newterp]

N/m

[Nick110581]

Alisson, Robertson, Konate, Van Dijk, Alexander Arnold, Jones, Fabinho, Jota, Salah, Gakpo, Nuñez

[Phineus]

That’s … interesting.

[Haggis36]

Can't lose the midfield battle if you don't play with one.

[classycarra]

Alisson, Robertson, Konate, Van Dijk, Alexander Arnold, Jones, Fabinho, Jota, Salah, Gakpo, Nuñez

Bold

Lots were saying Milner should start, but I thought it'd be Elliot. Glad to have Jota and Gakpo back in.

I guess Gakpo playing the advanced mifielder role he played at Madrid. System should offer Nunez greater opportunity to show something, hope he manages it - we very much need to score first.

[Samie]

[killer-heels]

Very attacking. Change in formation surely?

[Hazell]

Balls out attack from Klopp!

[Dubred]

We're going to have a lot of the ball beyond the half way line.... we're in form.....I think this is a great lineup.

[classycarra]

Seeing the bench emphasises the need to score first even more. Diaz our most physically player there, gonna have to make sure we do what we can to get the game away from being a physical battle for as long as we can

[TepidT2O]

Gakpo in midfield?

[Chakan]

Well that's called going for it.

                   Jota

Nunez          Gakpo        Salah?

Something like that?

Or switch Nunez and Jota?

[xbugawugax]

going to be interesting if we dont have the ball

guessing fab and curtis to keep the midfield ticking.

[SerbianScouser]

If this line-up was to work we'll be onto something.

[classycarra]

Well that's called going for it.

                   Jota

Nunez          Gakpo        Salah?

Something like that?

Or switch Nunez and Jota?

Good point. I had assumed Nunez as the 9, but looking back at Madrid away that was one of Jota's first starts and he was mostly down the middle with Nunez left.

[4pool]

LFCTV... Should we keep a clean sheet it will be Ali's 100th for the club in all competitions.

[David Struhme]

Good lineup .. very attacking

[Samie]

Sky usually go to break when YNWA start's bet they won't today the bastards.

[So… Howard Philips]

Good lineup .. very attacking

Just about to post exactly the same!

I suppose we have to work on the principal that we have to outscore them.

[classycarra]

Sky usually go to break when YNWA start's bet they won't today the bastards.

will it be neville? cant imagine he'll want to be 'condemnng' the booing, being a spineless shithouse scared of how he's perceived.

[keeby]

I think that's a bold move from Jurgen, full on charge of the light brigade - Onward redmen ! - 5-2 to Pool

[Schmidt]

Good point. I had assumed Nunez as the 9, but looking back at Madrid away that was one of Jota's first starts and he was mostly down the middle with Nunez left.

Earlier in the season we also played a 4-4-2 against City with Jota on the left.

[peachybum]

Gakpo playing the Henderson role?

 3-2-4-1 when we have the ball...

        Konate     VVD     Robertsom

                 TAA       Fabinho

Salah       Gakpo      Jones       Jota

                      Nunez

Surely we won't change the hybrid fullback system and just play a 4231 / 442

[classycarra]

Earlier in the season we also played a 4-4-2 against City with Jota on the left.

True - I had just assumed with Gakpo being one of few positives in Madrid that they might give him a second go there.

[Beninger]

4-2-1-3 with TAA making up another body in midfield?

[Cruiser]

wow thats very attacking, really going for it now. Lets do this!

[Byrnee]

Sky usually go to break when YNWA start's bet they won't today the bastards.

To be fair I can't think of another club who get more praise and time for their song pre-kick off, - which no-one else does like us - but they quite often play in full and talk about how impressive it is.

[Knight]

Gapko to play in Henderson’s position? Or perhaps Jota?

[tubby]

Looks like an obvious 4231 from the players picked but think it might be a bit different.

[Crosby Nick]

Can sort of see it. Brentford don’t really hurt you in midfield, they’ll just look to sprain the front two every chance they get though.

[paisley1977]

Down to the bare bones in midfield Fab and Curtis and Trent. Milly and Hendo cant do 3 games in a week. The rest injured Tiago and Stefan. And the shirkers Ox, Naby and Melo.

[Vote For Pedro]

Full metal jacket! Let's give United the collywobbles and do these, lost far too many points to Brentford since they came up.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Love it.

[jepovic]

Gakpo as 8 or 4231 seems like the only possibilites, and I doubt that Klopp would change formation again

[OkieRedman]

I like it, but I think Diaz on the wing and Jota as the forward is even better. I guess he isn't fit enough to start so soon again.
