Anzhi vs Liverpool: Europa League Match Thread

[Gibbo]

Starting Cole over Assaidi

**** off

[BigChief]

Downing and Flanno are playing because of the 5 at the back:

Flanno Wisdom Carra Coates Downing

[Reece]

Flanagan in ahead of Robinson is a weird one.

One's a right back, one's a left back.

[Bender]

Really annoying to see us persisting with Cole when the like of Assaidi, Pacheco and Suso all need games.

BR slowly going

[Chazza]

One's a right back, one's a left back.

Exactly.

Why are we playing a RB at LB?

[Mostar]

Flanagan in ahead of Robinson is a weird one.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers plays with 3 CBs Carragher, Coates and Wisdom and use Flanagan and Downing as fullbacks

[Daffy Duck]

That team sucks

[Gibbo]

Exactly.

Why are we playing a RB at LB?

Think its back 5 with Downing at left back isn't it?

[RedReet]

I'm actually looking forward to seeing Flanagan again, think he's been written off a bit too quickly by some. Also hope Wisdom puts in a good performance in his preferred position.

Does this squad suggest a Johnson/Enrique start on Sunday?

[Gibbo]

If things go to **** we have no-one to bring off the bench

[Mostar]

Anzhi Starting Lineup: Georgi Gabulov, Logashov, Samba, Joao Carlos, Tagirbekov, Ahmedov, Jucilei, Zhirkov, Eto'o, Boussoufa, Traore

[Pablo]

Think its back 5 with Downing at left back isn't it?

Yep, that's what makes sense to me:

Flanagan - Wisdom - Carragher - Coates - Downing

With Flanaghan and Downing pushing on as wingback when we attack.

[RedReet]

I wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers plays with 3 CBs Carragher, Coates and Wisdom and use Flanagan and Downing as fullbacks

What's the alternative? I thought that is what he is playing?

[Mostar]

Think its back 5 with Downing at left back isn't it?

Yep.

That's what I think.

[Reece]

Exactly.

Why are we playing a RB at LB?

Think its back 5 with Downing at left back isn't it?

Yep. Flanagan and Downing as wingbacks.
