Same as the rest of the team, average.How did Henderson do against Slovakia. Got subbed like 5 min after I started watching

We can seriously do a lot better than Hendo. Can't see him surviving another below par season.He was shit, really.

Yeah, I agree.
Henderson wasn't great for England but few (if any) were, and he hasn't started the season too badly for us. Beware of getting conscripted into Modo's latest vendetta.
"Doctor Clyne, I presume"This game may give us a bit more of a read on how Klopp views the squad this year. He tended to prefer Firmino in big away games last year and has done the same again this year, who he picks in the first home game will be interesting.
I'd go with:
GK Mignolet
DL Moreno
DC Lovren
DC Matip
DR Clyne
MC Milner
MC Can/Henderson (depending on fitness)
AL Coutinho
AC Lallana
AR Mané
FC Sturridge
Moreno can come back in at home, freeing Milner up for midfield. I don't think Klopp will drop Henderson for the first home game, but I don't think he's really playing well enough to justify his place right now.
If Moreno is ever going to start a game again it will be this one because Milner will get burned for pace (though may be better against Mahrez). If that happens then Milner will replace the injured/unfit Can in midfield. There is no way Klopp will not start with either one or both of Lallana & Firmino.---------------------Ming---------------------
Clyne----Matip---------Lovren----Milner

To put it another way, if we're 3 up inside 25 minutes we'll have started well.If we start well I think we will be 3 up inside 25 mins
Hugely significant game this for our early season confidence.
They'll probably hang back and let us hold the ball in midfield and counter attack at every opportunity.
Teams know our Achilles heel.
I know and I guess it's just perfect against us.But Leicester play like this against *everybody*. It isn't some special tactic to counter Liverpool. This is their thing. Lets hope we have a counter-counter plan (which should be to smash a few goals by them in the first 20 and force them to play– easy).
I'd start Sturridge over Origi. The power and pace Origi has isn't going to benefit us as much as the skill and finishing ability Studge has bearing in mind we will be playing against a parked bus. Again.
I'd go all out attack as we need to start beating bus parkers on a regular basis. As long as we show we can't, they'll continue to park it. Start beating such teams and they'll be less likely to employ such tactics.

Milner, Can and Henderson all adopt Scottish ancestroy
And I always knew Sturridge felt himself as big as the club
I know and I guess it's just perfect against us.
