WBA Build Up

[SB]

I'd go for:

...............Mignolet.................
Johnson..Touré..Sakho..Enr/Ciss
..................Lucas.................
........Gerrard...Henderson........
................Coutinho...............
.........Suarez...Sturridge..........

Alberto in if Coutinho can't make it.

Interested to hear why you'd drop Skrtel for this one? I see that you've opted for a back 4 so someone has to miss out but IMO Skrtel has been immense thus far.

We need to work on our communication at the back but otherwise we still look very strong up front.

I wish we had Suso for games like these.

He'll be a much better player for the experience he's getting right now. I'd be surprised if Valencia or another of the better teams don't put in a bid in the summer.

It is harsh on Skrtel to drop him but as you said someone would have to be dropped for 4 at the back. Touré is undroppable IMO not only for his performances so far but also the fact that he is a voice at the back, always communicating, ordering and encouraging just like Carragher and a pure leader. And I'd go with Sakho next to him, I think he's a world class centre back and someone we invested a lot of money in. A Touré - Sakho partnership would work well because Touré can speak french and it makes it easier for Sakho. Dropping Skrtel isn't easy but it's worth it IMO for an extra midfielder.

i have a feeling we may see us go back to 4-3-3 at home.

johnson-------toure------skrtel---------cissokho/enrique

all depends on fitness to a few people

I'd go Gerrard, Henderson and Alberto at home against WBA. I think we might have issues breaking them down

If Lucas is available why drop him ? All the stats suggest that we're a much better team with him in the starting 11.

[Lee]

Yep.

We saw against Newcastle how easy it was to break down our midfield without him.

[danperkins]

No way Lucas will be dropped.. even if he hasn't been great this season he is our best DM option. Can never see Jordan Henderson playing a DM role especially beside Stevie.. personally i don't ever see him making it at LFC but if he is to crack it at LFC it certainly won't be at DM or RM IMO.

He's our only DM option which is something that needs to be fixed in January urgently.

It's a nice predicament to be in having so many CB's to pick from. I don't envy BR having to choose though.

Is Agger stil suffering with this dodgy rib injury or is he just struggling to get in the team now with our abundance of centrebacks? Seems a little strange to me being vice captain and that??
