Oh dear lord. That lineup is something to behold.
Who let Hodgson back into Anfield?

I didn't realise this was a league cup game. What a shit lineup.
Debut to Robertson, playing alongside Klavan. Gomez gets a first competitive start in two years. Milner gets a first midfield start since I don't know when. Firmino out wide. Henderson plays a third game in a week when he has a condition that gets worse with repeatedly exertion. Alexander-Arnold and Grujic don't even make the bench.
Eek.
Eek.
Wow. That line up is awful. This could be a 4-3 type scoreline today with that defence.
We are in for a Benitez season where rotation becomes a constant question. I hope we do better this time around though.
This has the feel of a League Cup tie. Surprised Mane isn't replaced with Kent, with Origi leading the line.
Think it will be:
Ming
Gomez Matip Klavan Robertson
Gini Hendo
Mane Firmino Milner
Studge
I don't undrstand the need to rotate so many in the same game. We already struggle against shit opposition. Would rather replace 1-2 positions every game than field "strong" and "weak" sides.
Perhaps. Which MIGHT be slightly better. Or not.
4-2-3-1 is the correct formation to play. We'll look better for it.
Robertson for Moreno should also certainly be an upgrade.
Having said that, Klavan for Lovren is a step down, and I'm not convinced with Gomez either.
If they don't fuck up, I think our overall play will be more fluid than our two previous games.
Milner is a very intelligent player - I'm glad he's there. He's actually quite underrated in that third midfielder's role.
Robertson for Moreno should also certainly be an upgrade.

I think it will be this:
----------------Mignolet
Gomez----Matip---Klavan---Robertson
----------Wijnaldum---Henderson
------Mane----Firmino---Milner
----------------Sturridge
The front 4 should have some freedom to interchange though.
We should probably be expecting more of such rotations whenever there are midweek games (unless the options get depleted cos of injuries, that is).
Or if we, God forbid, manage to sign some more players as well..
The only Norwegian words I know are "Norge" and "drittsekk", but you don't mean "God forbid". That's said when you don't want something to happen, OK? 😉
Hahaha, indeed. Sorry mate, I mean God willing..
Drittsekk could be used in Doc Macs cunt thread 😉
Nah - I'm all for a bit chop and change. Let's bring it on. Brace for Studge and a consolation for Benteke. Get your bets in lads.
I'm fine with the changes. Playing 433 without Coutinho, Lallana and a tired combo of Salah and Mane doesn't make any sense.
Robertson can't be worse than Moreno.
Milner looked good in the middle.
Sturridge and Mane together.
Palace got bummed by Huddlesfield
It'll be fine. More than fine. We're going to win.

Benitez never did it to this extent this early in the year.
I thought God forbid was right, Proper sarcasm coming to the fore
