Fosse93 Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 Choudhury and Ndidi have to start for me, with Perez and Albrighton on the wings. Which leaves space for just one of Maddison, Tielemans or Praet. Team selection is always important, but feels particularly vital here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrytaggart Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 (edited) I'd go with the same team that faced Newcastle. Praet, Ndidi and Tielemans is a very strong midfield with balance. Maddison and Gray coming on in the second half if we need to create. Hamza coming on if we are protecting a lead. But hey, wado I know, I'm just sippin' sauce.

He's a FB, not a CB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a FB, not a CB. And he's one of the most accomplished leftbacks in the league, who from a couple of starts from the opening games of the season doesn't look off the pace at all. And the point is to be more solid defensively so the Liverpool front 3 don't get space to cause problems and keeping TAA a bit more quiet. Edit. Just remembered that having Fuchs adds one more thing to our arsenal on that whole left side. Anytime we have a throw in, whether it's in our half or theirs, there's a potential rocket from the sidelines that'll allow us to produce a quick attack. His throw to Vardy earlier in the season as an example. Edited 30 September 2019 by LC/FC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics can turn into an absolute mindfvck if you let it. Anything goes. Wouldn't be surprised to see the midfields cancel each other out. In which case Rodgers has been known to resort to long balls in order to get the ball to attacking players. Then we'll see the crazy end to end stuff. We have to match them for intensity and physicality. Hope we're ready. No matter what happens I'll be glad to see where we are at in this type of contest.

Fuchs has been brilliant but I feel Chilwells mobility will be required for this one. Part of the problem has been when Maddison has been put on the left and goes awol. Albrighton on the left with Maddison behind Vardy would solve that one. Edited 30 September 2019 by volpeazzurro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Keller Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 With them having Adrian in goal we have a good chance of getting something but the first goal is crucial and the timing of it. If they bag inside the first 20 mins, it’s gonna be a long afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Maddison is at his best on the left of midfield. However I think Praet deserves to start after his performance against Newcastle. Ooh, to have so many good options (except playing 2 CDMs of course)...!! I agree, although if I get to choose I would start Fuchs instead of Chilly too. However, we know Rodgers is biased and will no doubt start Chilly, who was probably the worst player for us in an outstanding collective performance against Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12345 Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 (edited) On Fuchs vs Chilly discussion above, I am in the Fuchs camp. Fuchs did very well earlier in the season. He can cross, plays forward, defends well and has good positioning. Chilly still has a lot to learn and his performances so far have been sub-par: he needs to be dropped to get better. I mean, the contrast between the attacks coming from the right with Ricardo and left with Chilly is night and day. Defensively, Chilly’s positioning has been suspect. And Fuchs is a loyal servant and part of the title winning squad. He is still the best LB at to club for me, is selflessly trying to teach Chilly (from what I read), and is obviously a good influence in the dressing room. He deserves to play more.

I understand that with the initial games with Madders on the left and coming inside made Ben have more work to do but that workload Fuchs has also done when he came in for Chillwell. Also entirely depends on the midfielders and attackers we choose, in what formation. Either way, the fact that we can argue about youth and speed or strength and experience over 1 position, depending on whoever else we field in other positions, shows we do have depth. Which is nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
