SpacedX Posted 13 February 2021 Share Posted 13 February 2021 Low block - invites pressure on a weakened defence. High press - weakened defence lacks pace to deal with the counter. Can't see anything other than three CBs today. Likely Amartey comes in, with Fuchs in at LB as opposed to left sided centre (be very surprised if Brendan risks Thomas). As some have mentioned, Albrighton could be deployed as a WB, but he's more needed on the right flank. Low block, late smash and grab, but by then Mané and Salah will have already parted the channels like the Red Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically it’s gonna be an interesting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High press we lose. Overly pessimistic perhaps, their MF will be compromised and I'm relishing the thought of Barnsey cutting into the inside left channel and running at his man...a makeshift CB.

car1os Posted 13 February 2021 Share Posted 13 February 2021 Think we’ll lose this one. We usually start in quite a reserved/negative way against Liverpool and I fancy them to get the first goal before we’ve tested their shaky defence. Then they’ll park the bus and we’ll struggle to get in behind their back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they did sit back on a one goal advantage, which is absolute anathema to Klopp and Liverpool's style of play, we will get in behind them - we just have to make it count.

He's better at crossing than Justin and I'd argue he's put more rememberable dangerous balls in than Castagne too. Anyway, I'll trust Rodgers to do what's best for the team. It was sarcasm. He can definitely defend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
