How will we set up against Palace ?

[6TimesaRed]

No Lucas.. Coutinho & Allen injured..


Give Toure a go in midfield as the holding midfielder..?

Or stick Suarez in the number 10 position, with Aspas, Studge & Moses in the front 3..

 

[Modo]

Nah I'd go back to playing 4-3-3 with Aspas or Sterling coming on for Lucas.
Touré at RB.

Toure Skrtel Sakho Enrique

BR loves his new system me thinks:

After the game he sez: "We've changed our system a bit to a 3-4-1-2 and it's working well".

I can see him persisting with it. If we had a bit more bite in midfield in front of the three I'd be happier. And with Coutinho playing as the one.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Won't be surprised if he pushes Toure to midfield and pairs him with Gerrard in Lucas' one-game absence.

 

[dee]

Allen was 'nearly ready' this week so may be at least a sub next week.

This - although I think we'll line up 3-4-1-2, same as against Sunderland with Henderson slotting in to Lucas role & Sterling slotting in on the right where Henderson was.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Henderson in for Lucas.
Ibe in for Henderson.

 

[Spionkop69]

Henderson in for Lucas.
Ibe in for Henderson.

Would make me happy. But the second one won't happen.

 

[TSD]

Henderson for Lucas in midfield, Sterling for Henderson as wingback.

 

[6TimesaRed]

I think 3-4-1-2 is here to stay...

Hence the influx of defenders this summer, and what Rodgers mention in his post match interview...

Once Agger is back this could very much allow him to roam forward more.. and Coutinho playing behind Suarez and Sturridge playing the excellent through balls... Exciting times...


fully fit squad..


---------------Ming-------------------

-------Skrtel Toure Agger---------

Johnson Gerrard Lucas Enrique

-------------Coutinho----------------

--------Suarez Sturridge----------

 

[Hansern]

Sakho will play imho

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Yep. Can't see us spending that amount of money on Sakho for him to sit on the bench. Then again, Rodgers hasn't been scared to bomb Allen off.

Is this after we sell Sakho back to PSG for 80M?

 

[Hansern]

Toure Agger Sakho

Thats even better imho

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Skrtel hasn't done much wrong so it would be harsh to drop him.

 

[TSD]

Basically it's Agger who loses out just because the other three are performing at a higher level at the moment. A few matches ahead can change everything though.

 

[Hansern]

Skrtel hasn't done much wrong so it would be harsh to drop him.

True, he's been very good. Good to have some options for once.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hasn't Agger played as DM at some point, or am I going insane?

 

[Whirly]

Possibly, but if it's Agger or Kolo to play that role, I think it has to be Kolo every time, especially on current form.

Skrtel for me hasn't been as spectacular as some make him out to be, United game included. He's been *good*, but I think his performances are being exaggerated a bit just because our expectations for him were so low coming into the season. Definitely deserves credit for slotting in and doing his job, but realistically he's just done his bit and not much else.

With Kolo and Sakho you can without a doubt say they bossed the game, but Skrtel has been above average consistently for a handful of matches, no more.

 

[Buddha]

Henderson for Lucas in midfield, Sterling for Henderson as wingback.

That'll be it.

 

[6TimesaRed]

You can't drop Skrtel on current form.. Agger has to start if he comes back into the side, he has excellent strengths going forward, which I think will suit this formation.

Toure you simply cannot drop... signing of the season.. So Sakho bench... as cover for all 3...

Sakho's on better form than Skrtel though.

good call, i think he would be good in that position, but hendo in is the safer bet

I like the look of our 3-4-1-2 at the moment as it's getting the best of our available players. Sturridge and Suarez look so much better playing as a striker pair.

 

[RolandG]

The system will remain with Henderson in for Lucas and Aspas getting a place at the expense of Sterling.

Aspas at right wing-back? Fucking hell.
