Bournemouth away build up

442 again?

Should come to life once the teamsheet drops

Reckon the thread might have more life than that midfield.

Henderson, Wijnaldum, yay.

442 again?

Maybe or a 433 withCoutinho taking the AM role with Chamberlain taking the wide left slot

Is Can injured, banned or frozen out?

Is Can injured, banned or frozen out?

Official site seems a little confused about him "Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Simon Mignolet and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain come into the starting XI at the Vitality Stadium, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Emre Can, Loris Karius and Sadio Mane dropping to the bench."

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Gomez, Lovren, Klavan, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Coutinho, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Karius, Milner, Mane, Lallana, Ings, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold

The keen eyed amongst you might note that Can is not on the bench.

My expectation is a pre-transfer back injury.

Probably actually. My first thought was Ox midfield and Phil LW, but I suppose your suggestion is closer to our normal team. Salah less effective centrally too, so more reason to go back to 433.

thought Can had a one match ban for reaching the yellow card limit

He did.

Actually after I posted I went back to thinking that your 442 might make more sense in terms of matching the players in the starting line up

Coutinho on the left of midfield and Chamberlain on the right. Firmino and Salah up front.


Personally I hope we start with three in the centre though.

It's good to see Mane on the bench. He's needed a jolt although who knows if it's rotation or not.

Yep. Pre-transfer suspension / back injury.

[RedReet]

Bournemouth have only conceded more that 2 once this season and that was away to Arsenal at the start of the season. Don't keep many clean sheets outside of a wee spell in November, but they don't concede many goals either.

Feck me Lovrens picture in the line up on Sky. Makes him look like a proper dick.
