Norwich (h) build-up and match thread

[Shaggy]

Saturday 3pm

Games coming thick and fast now and with a fit squad I ****ing love it.

Time to make changes imo. Leeds in midweek is tougher than this, so I'd go something like:

Alisson

Trent
Matip
VVD
Tsimikas

Henderson
Keita
Elliott

Salah
Firmino (assuming Jota out)
Diaz

Thiago is so important to us - feels like we're unbeatable with him in the side next to Fab - that I'd be wrapping him in cotton wool with an eye on the CL games, final v Chelsea and the City game in April.

I would go

Alisson

Trent
Matip
VVD
Tsimikas

Fab
Keita
Thiago

Mo
Firmino (assuming Jota out)
Diaz

[Liverpool]

I reckon Gomez to start RB, Trent coming on.

Play Robertson here, rest midweek. Think that gives us good fresh legs for Chelsea.

Matip on the weekends, Konate midweek.

No idea when he gives Salah a rest

I wonder if we might see Gomez start at right back. Thought Trent was well off it yesterday and he is probably due for a rest.

Surely Norwich at home is a game to rest Salah? Love that we can't predict the team now for a change.

I hope to never see Gomez at right back again. It just doesn’t work.

If we're resting Trent I'd much rather see Milner there. Gomez at RB is like sticking a lamppost there. Pointless.

If we're resting trent i'd much rather see milner there. Gomez at rb is like sticking a tampon in there. Pointless.

That better not happen. I triple captained Salah.

Well it's happening

Just as well we bought Diaz what with both Bobby and Jota picking up knocks.
