That’s an odd choice. Kel is nowhere near combative enough to replace Bouba

 

Soumare is clearly going to push forward today. Tielemans and Ndidi will play deeper.

Hear this ALL the time. From that line up, who would he displace?

Based on form?

Barnes, Soumare and heck, even Vardy.

[Jakemoore]

Can’t believe anyone is calling for Vardy to be dropped. He’s bang in form and has had a week off.

Maybe, he is different from Kel that’s for sure. Don’t see Kel as a midfielder, but might be interesting

[Bryn]

Dropping Vardy No thanks.

Pleased with that, but do we need Wilf Youri and Soumare v Burnley at home? Front 3 looks really exciting though and guess it’s a very balanced XI. I’m keen for some Kelechi minutes and not so sure he fits smoothly into that XI anywhere bar in place of Vardy. 
 

At least he’s dropped Maddison. Assume Evans isn’t fully fit yet, or ever! 

Youri...I suppose will be more on the front foot, so AM...Ndidi the DM, & Soumare HM, or Box to box.....or Maybe the other way around..

Lets see First what These 3 offer has a midfield grouping..

.Dont  asume on FT!!   These players are more flexable and skillfull has this forum und yourself as it seems gives them Credit for..

This could be the structure, that Rodgers & fans could be looking for...

Many might Love having a hidden or direct dig at Rodgers..but so far (3 seasons) Nobody on this forum, can offer anything better...

Plus because of injuries ( & form) and their timing, over 14 months,

Rodgers hasnt had a chance to Field or Bench-up a consistent First Choice of  11-14 players.

 

So IMO no individual FT-Posters has any, relevant point to make....Other than a negative based one..

Buzzing for the game now. 

 

3-1

I would of picked this line up today if that helps settle the debate 

I'm really intrigued with today's game because of the formation, so really looking forward to seeing how it works. It looked poor initially against Brighton, but then when Lookman came on it looked brilliant, because he stretched the game.

 

I can't answer which is our best system, because there are pros and cons of each system. But on paper, I can totally understand trying 433, and after Soumare was signed it was something I speculated we might see.

 

Because of the finances we have as a club, we can't recreate Guardiola style highly technical football. To do that you need multiple players that cost 50m+, and be able to keep them at the club, which is not realistic. But the Liverpool style of signing players that are brilliant athletically and then adding a touch of flair alongside players like that is definitely achievable.

 

What might go wrong today though is lack of experience in playing this system together. But we shall see!

No we don’t, we’re at home. Already got Wilf Soyuncu Vestegaard.

We don’t need to set up because we’re scared of them

Scared of them?  

Dude, we have Vardy, Barnes and Lookman starting.
 

Maddison is woefully out of form (and let’s not even mention Perez)…

Meanwhile, Soumare is not just a big unit but has the necessary technical skills.

[WigstonWanderer]

Wait! Isn’t this roughly the side we all wanted to see? Disconcerting!

I get it, I really do. Kel has been both great and very unlucky as he need but is unlikely to replace Vardy.

 

At least both Maddison and Perez are dropped

[OLD norfox]

Any streams please PM me 

[lgfualol]

Soumare will score today

Just hope we perform!

[st albans fox]

That’s not a bench to shut the game down late on ……

[Vacamion]

 

Madders and Ayoze on the bench.

 

Who will be the scapegoat for the good people who like a whinge during the match thread? 

 

Bertrand, I reckon.

As much as I would love Nacho to start. Who does he replace in that team? 

Only possibility would be for Soumare, Nacho in the 10 role. Happy with the line up though. 

[LestaFox92]

2 of our direct rivals dropping points today need those 3 points today.

[PhillippaT]

It's on NBCSN, so streams shouldn't be a problem?

[Salieri]

Crucial that we put in a good performance and win today, hopefully then Rodgers will realise that this is pretty much our strongest line up. Evans to return though, of course.

C'mon ya Lestahs!

[jmono84]

Tbf BR has done what a lot of us have asked by dropping Maddison br Perez!

 

I would still like to see Nacho be the main guy but Vardy is doing well so cant really say nothing!

 

come on boys
