Man City vs Liverpool - Premier League (20/21 - Game 8)

Also, 433 is very demanding for the midfield as they’ve got to shift sideways a lot. Against City it’s harder. 442, whether it’s a diamond or a more traditional formation, allows us to cover defensive areas better. Whether that works we’ll see pretty soon.

Think Carra makes a fair point, we've lost last 3 times here with full strength 433, so why not try something different.

It's a difficult game regardless.

My worry is if they beat the press it's going to be a nightmare for Henderson and Wijnaldum. It also means we don't have much to come on if things aren't going well in the final 20 minutes.

I think the big defeats after project restart might mean Klopp things "**** it, let's try and blitz them".

It’s going to be more defensive than you think IMO.

This is going to be fun. Jota adds a fair bit of hornet like aggression and something different. He is a goal poacher and while they can prepare for the other three, Jota is another story.

Bobby as the advanced midfielder will allow us an option of playing through the middle easier and unlocking their defence when they sit back.

I have been hoping for this change for ages as it plays to firmino's strengths.

They won't know if we're coming down the flank or straight through them.
Bobby coming in late for the second balls, it sounds ace

Not sure if it makes a massive difference tactically in all honesty. We've been playing with Jones for the last few matches, obviously Bobby will be higher up the pitch than Jones operated but it's not like Jones offered a huge amount defensively.

Our other options weren't obvious for me. Naby has just come back to fitness, Jones for me is a bit inexperienced for this fixture and Milner hasn't been the best lately.

Much better options than City.

Super sub Origi, genius Shaq, Keita and Jones for midfield.

City have Foden and an out of form Silva.

I really think the way this season is going, this is a bit of a free hit

Confident start, margins away from good chances
