Liverpool v Southampton - the match thread

It's back! The Champions Elect go again.

 

 

And just to pass the time, let's challenge the "brutal fact" that we'll only name one new signing in our starting line-up, no matter what. I'll go for 3, with another 2 on the bench. And for the tie-breaker they will be Lovren, Can and Manquillo with Lambert and either Markovic or Moreno* on the bench.

Think we'll line up exactly like we did today. Gives us the opportunity to play 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 or maybe even 4-1-2-1-2 at least with taking off one of Can or Henderson. That XI is flexible, dynamic and the players will have a good feeling after about 60 good minutes together today.

 

We're ready.

So how will it be different from today's starting XI ?

I'm at a wedding in Maine on Sat and will be on the drive back so will miss it :(

 

 

Surely today's starting line up is as close as you'd expect it to be?

 

With a bench of Jones, Sakho, Flanno, Lucas, Allen, Ibe, Lambert - assuming Lazar & Lallana are out (the latter surely is?) and no signings btw now & then.

 

So that matchday XVIII (heh) still leaves Kolo, Coates, Enrique (and Borini) as well as the two injuries above not in the matchday team.

 

Choices!

I would expect Moreno to make the bench (if we sign him). Wouldn't be surprised if Flanno was still out. Suso has been given some playing time in pre season (shop window theory?), and I would think he could offer more than one of Lucas or Allen depending on how the game pans out.

I wouldnt put Falcao straight in, probably keep him on the bench and let him soak it up all, will probably come as a bit of a shock to him playing in front of that many fans, might need time to bed in.

 

I'll be in a field near Crewe at a festival like I was for the Stoke game last season desperately trying to update Twitter when I seen that Stoke had got a last minute penalty, took over 15 minutes to update, but the joy, the unadulterated job, felt when I finally found out that our Belgium keeper had saved it was worth the agonising wait.

 

I'd take the same again to be honest.

These are really poor at the moment. They need signings all over the shop.

Yoshida will be playing at CB, who is f***ing w***.

Sterling should give Bertrand nightmares.

 

 

Only danger is one of their new players doing a Ravenelli.
