I don't think we have enough CBs for that and our midfield looks pretty fucking shite without Fabinho there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the midfield gets a bit more busier and that could work to our advantage but the wings being left free would cause us all kinds of problems we cant afford with the defensive group we have playing in CB right now. They need all the help they can get. I think a 3-5-2, with Fabinho as a sweeper would give more protection to Kabak and Phillips. Also, it would ocuppy the midfield and give Kross less space to pick Liverpool's defence apart with his long-range passing. But I guess trying it now would be very risky, right?

Brighton away in about 2017 is one that immediately springs to mind. He played Can, Lovren and Wijnaldum there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was mentioned earlier in the thread as well. Bobby coming back is good news for us and will add that dimension of pressing on Kroos because its something he does really well. This then allows the fullbacks to push up a bit more. I dont think we've ever really played 3 at the back and trying it now when we need two goals and to not allow them to score any would be a bad time to experiment. Sadio needs to put in a real shift today imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah is on the right but I'd imagine after the first leg there's going to be a bit of shifting in the mid to afford some cover there. And this is the odd thing about Trent, some days this season hes like a fish out of water but then on others hes razor sharp. I am hoping tonight is razor sharp night.

He's a defensive midfielder by trade, I'm not sure he can stop Sadio. Mané will have a huge advantage there. Liverpool should concentrate their attacks on the left. This could be the key to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not very mature, and I wouldn't throw a bottle at a bus... but I'm not particularly fussed about it. I do hope Real Madrid make a big deal out of it though, like Man City did. I thought that shite was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
