LFC V Spurs (H) Build up thread

[Pablo]

Iv got a feeling we will see Mario tonight

I doubt it. The only chance he has of starting is if we go back to the diamond. I saw Rodgers has already confirmed Can will stay in defence, which means 3 CBs and no diamond formation.

I'd like to see Can given a chance in a back 4 actually. Obviously not in a serious game like this one.

We badly need to discover some cutting edge and to keep going for the full 90 minutes. Of late Spurs have a habit of getting late goals.

Haha. Ta.

Has Brendan said anything about Allen playing/starting? If not, are we sure that Gerrard won't play alongside Henderson instead?

Team leaks?

Would not need to go back to the diamond in order to fit two up front into our current three CB set up.


If Sterling is out, then Rodgers could go with Sturridge and Balotelli up front and Coutinho in the AM role.


so we could get




-------------Sturridge---------------------Balotelli
---------------------------Coutinho--------------------
-------------Allen----------------------Henderson
Moreno-----------------------------------------------Markovic
-------------Sakho---------Skrtel-------Can----------------
--------------------------Mignolet------------------------



And one up front could give us


-------------------------Sturridge-------
------------Coutinho--------------Lallana
-------------Allen----------------------Henderson
Moreno-----------------------------------------------Markovic
-------------Sakho---------Skrtel-------Can----------------
--------------------------Mignolet------------------------




Of course we could see Gerrard in place of either Allen or Lallana. Ibe in place of Markovic would be another option.


Or Markovic in place of Lallana in the second line up and Ibe at RWB.

Rumours suggest Gerrard next to Hendo.

Don't think he has said anything but not sure he would start Gerrard 3 times in 6 days after 2 full matches and him blowing out of his arse for the last 20 mins on Saturday.

Snippets as opposed to full team it seems.

Guess we will see. But from what I can gather, Hendo/Gerrard axis with Markovic/Couts & Sturridge up top. Ibe keeps his place at RWB.

@The_jamin: For those waiting to know, team tonight is....Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Ibe, Henderson, Gerrard, Moreno, Markovic, Coutinho, Sturridge
