i wonder if mignolet is really injured or is this a subtle way of dropping him...

To what end though? It matters not to his mind set or performances if we think otherwise.

[RedReet]

Like the look of that team very much.

It's our best team. It lacks creativity and real quality in central midfield, but we are where we are.

[redmike65]

Lack creativity? Its got exactly what we want - Lallana, Firmino and Coutinho for that quality.

Hopefully the front 3/4 (with Hendo runs) will tire the Watford backline and then launch the pace of Ibe and Origi at them late on if needed.

Team full of creativity what it lacks is a genuine goalscorer

In central midfield. Can, Lucas and Henderson. We need an Alonso type player in there. I know everyone loves Hendo, but Can is the only one of those three I wouldn't be looking to upgrade over the next couple of seasons.

And goalie, good team otherwise. Lots and lots of pressing and a few goals, ta.

[Bender]

Sakho lack of match fitness...reckon Igahlo will tear him a new one.

Either that or Kolo, reckon a half fit Sakho stands a better chance against these.

[Buzzo]

It's the right decision but it must be a sore one for Big Chris to take. Maybe it will work as motivation for him to up his game when he finally does get on the pitch.

Best team picked. Benteke should be nowhere near it.

[baitman]

other than one or two games firmino has been generally poor. he needs to show some consistency and repay the managers hugs with a decent performance.

My concern is that the attacking 3 players are good on their day, but when it's not their day they can go missing, which would be a problem...
