[FAC] Exeter City (A): Build Up

[The Birdman]

Wild guess at -
Mingolet
Randall Ilori Can Smith
Milner/Allen (45 each or 60/30) Chrivella Brannigan
Kent Benteke Ojo

[BigChief]

So we literally don't have any centre backs?

It's time to get Bentekkers playing in the position he was born to fill. Out £32m 5th choice centre back.

He'll still be our most offside player.

"Injuries dominated today's Liverpool press conference.

"Philippe Coutinho is unlikely to be back until February after Klopp said: 'Phil is more serious than Dejan, (who is more serious) than Kolo but none of these are available for tomorrow. With muscle injuries you don't know. Kolo was cramp and that is not a problem but after three days it is not possible to play next game, but for next week it should not be a problem. With Dejan will be available after Manchester United and Phil needs one, maybe two or three weeks longer.'"

Kolo and Lucas against Arsenal. With no Coutinho, Henderson and a striker at the other end. Hahahaha. We could very realistically end the season with a negative goal difference.

I am more worried about the next two league games tbh

We've faced plenty of teams with makeshift back fours and come up short. No reason why we can't do the same to the opposition.

I'm nervously un-nervous really, if we fail against Exeter with a makeshift team I won't get too upset, it's the Arsenal game I think we might struggle the most, United will be ok I think.

A defence of Kolo - Ilori against Arsenal will need a bit of protection, but we have been protecting the defence recently so I wouldn't write us off. Who knows, maybe Lucas will re-invent himself like Mascherano or Ilori proves Remi, Rodgers and Timmy all wrong.

You never know it could work in our favor .. Kolo will be back for Arsenal ... we may have signed a player by then, Lovren may be back .. Kolo and Can or Lucas .. could possibly manage ... nobody would have given us a hope in hell against Stoke away with a back four of Clyne Kolo (with cramp) Lucas and Moreno ... up against Walters and Crouch ... but hey they did just fine ... lets see one game at a time

Might less pressure on the team being so makeshift as well, I am strangely looking very much forward to these next games.

"Jurgen Klopp has admitted he will make changes to his side for this weekend's FA Cup third-round match with Exeter.

"'That is the thing we have to do now, said Klopp. 'We have to take the situation like it is and we go to Exeter - I will be there for sure, I'll take a few players with me."

Is Texeira legible for this game?
