LFC v Ludogorets Razgrad (H) Build Up Thread

[Buzzo]

So... Disappointing on Saturday, reminiscent of early Rodgeball games.
But we have a new challenge and the return of Champions League Football to Anfield on Tuesday

I predict Mario getting his first goal. I'd keep the defence together so they get some practice, learn each others names etc.

Mignolet

Manquillo
Lovren
Sakho
Moreno

Gerrard
Henderson
Can

Coutinho
Sterling
Balotelli

Subs: Lallana, Lambert, Markovic, Toure, Jones, Enrique, Allen

[Gibbo]

Think Can's out for a long time mate.

Deffo think we should go back to the diamond. Lambert and Mario up top.

[Chazza]

Someone tweeted earlier that both Can and Markovic are suspended.

No idea if it is twitter bollocks.

[baitman]

a bit short on midfield options really.

I'm so behind on news.

Aye - maybe a good game to give Lambert a start in right enough

[Frenchie]

Aston Villa have shown how to play us. We need to learn to break these teams down.

If I was the manager of this lot I would be studying the AV vid.

Same back four
Gerrard
Henderson
Lallana
Sterling
Balotelli
Lambert

Lambert

Yeah, that would be my choice. I think.

Although I am thinking whether Rodgers should consider giving Enrique a run-out to rest Moreno, but it is a good case for the same back four. It would have been a great opportunity to give Can some minutes too ... that's a shame.

Here's my team:

MIG
Manquillo - Lovren - Sakho - Moreno
Gerrard
Henderson - Lallana
Sterling
Lambert - Balotelli

That's been our problem for the last 10 years and the reason we didn't win the league with Rafa.

With SaSaS last season, we managed to finally beat those kind of teams, and now we are back here...

It'll be interesting to see if Brendan goes with our strongest x1 or if he rests a few players.

I'd be surprised if Stevie can go the distance of 3 games in a week.

Is Allen available for this?

Probably a couple of days too soon for Allen. I think he's due to return for the West Ham game, if not, Middlesbrough.

What's your thoughts? Lucas in for Gerrard?

[ronanm]

Good chance to put Saturday behind us and another outing to improve the understanding between all the new players. BR's first CL tie too. Hopefully get the win and get some momentum. Great to be back

Cheers Mudds. Possibly Lucas gets a run out in this one.
