Get it wide and get it in to any pocket of space. Fuchs had a poor game against them at Anfield and he'd be all over the shop again if we weren't careful. Liverpool are there to be picked apart but we have to execute our gameplan. The combination of Thomas and Barnes has worked well at times this season and I hope that's given a go on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OadbyBlue Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 I have a feeling Thomas would rise to the occasion if given the chance, with Barnes in front of him and in a better quality lineup than we usually see him in against cup/europa opposition.

SpacedX Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 Fuchs was destroyed by Jota in the reverse fixture. Saying that, I'm not sure that Brendan will trust the inexperienced Thomas given that they will look to be exploiting our left flank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 I’m sure we’ll see a few things on Saturday, including defeat. The team seems to crumble when up against this lot. Weirdly, other teams have shown that if you break them up, attack them and have some heart you can beat them. On the other hand, if Liverpool turn up, few teams can match them.

turlo Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 Tough choices for Brendan! Does he go with an inexperienced LB or an 34 year old against Salah & Trent, or go with a back 3 which Liverpool had a lot of success against last time getting in the space between our wing backs and outer centre backs last time we played.

martyn Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 (edited) I'd go 4 at the back, shift Ricardo over to left back and play Amartey on the right.

Would absolutely love to see this line up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 Really hope we are brave if Justin is out and play Thomas at left back. It will be tough for him against Liverpool most in-form player Salah, with Alexander-Arnold also. And Barnes not known for offering much protection. Fear Rodgers will want to protect him though and we'll see Amartey or Fuchs in a back 3. Which imagine means Albrighton might miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo on the other side. This would also allow us to switch to a back 4 without making a sub, as well. I don't really like the back 3, but we did use it to batter Man City 5-2, so who knows?

majaco Posted 11 February 2021 Share Posted 11 February 2021 Liverpool seem to be up for it when they play us. Didn't playing three centre backs and setting up to counter attack fail miserably in the reverse fixture? We seem to have lost fluency since the injury disruptions. I am a little pessimistic about this one. Surprise me, Leicester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
