We need the legs of Keita rather than the passing of Thaigo/

Virg and Matip need to do a proper job on Lukaku. Midfield need to press and high up not allowing them time on the ball.

Our pace up top will cause their defence headaches for sure... a bit of clinical finishing, the crowd behind us and we could set down a marker for the rest of the nay-sayers and pundits...

Fab needs to be right up Jog-inho's arse the entire match. Starve that prancing **** of time and space and he's a passenger.

That'll be a job for the other midfielders. And we may get Firmino in to press him.

[Shaggy]

Yeah, I think Jota misses out and Firmino comes in for that reason.

Also think Robbo starts. The only selection issue imo is who goes with Fab and Hendo - Naby or Thiago. I think it'll be Naby.

So:

Alisson

Trent
Matip
VVD
Robbo

Fab
Hendo
Naby

Salah
Firmino
Mane

[Buzzo]

I'd still love to see the Thiago version of that team, with Bobby dropping deep that team could absolutely purr. But I agree I think Naby might get the nod.

[Fosterbloke]

I'd pick Naby too. We definitely need the experience of Robertson at the back and the guile of Dirmino.

When has Naby had a good game against a top side for us. I'm struggling to think of one.

Liverpool 5 - Chelsea 3?

Nah, Chelsea where ****e under Lampard and that was a dead rubber IIRC.

I'm sure he was very good away at Chelsea early last season when we won.

Leicester 4-0 after WCC was a big match IIRC.

We were excellent against Chelsea and Arsenal start of last year when he played too.
