Jordon Ibe

[Corndog]

I think Ibe will be competing most often for that spot wide right of the striker with firmino, Markovic and Origi. Lallana and coutinho will probably play left side but it's hard to say as I think it will be fluid moving up front and all of those players will probably play on both sides/through the middle throughout the course of the season.

Milner will play centrally imo, and he should do.

Yep I agree.

Did we play the diamond today? If so, where did Ibe play?

[BigChief]

Right of the diamond with Clyne overlapping.

Actually scratch that sorry. I'm sure it was 4141 with Origi up top and Milner in holding position. Hendo was inside right and Ibe wide right.

The first half was diamond with Ings and Lambert.

I do hope Rodgers picks a formation and signs players to suit it.

It was 4-3-3 with Ibe on the right, Lallana on the left (moving centrally), with Henderson and Milner as central midfielders and Allen holding.

Looks like we will be playing a holding mid then. Anyone else think Lucas & Allen isn't enough?

Need Gary Medel!

Both are more suited to central roles IMO due to their lack of pace. I'm not saying they're immobile but the other 3 offer genuine pace.

No question about that but my point was that BR could use them in those roles regardless.

I sincerely hope we never see Milner wide as an out and out winger, the guy has absolutely zero pace and whenever he's picked in that position to me I see it as a negative selection and more for his defensive contribution than his attacking prowess. I'd rather let teams worry about us as opposed to the other way round. I'm not a Milner fan at the best of times but seeing him out wide would tip me over the edge

Same here.

The only concern is that him playing more in central role would mean that Can may not play at all I really would like to see him play more prominent role this year.

Good call

I hope he doesn't. Ibe is ready to play now & will be needed once our injury crisis curse strikes again

If we bring in a marquee striker and an attacker I think it might be best to give Markovic a real chance and send Ibe to someone like Bournmouth for the season.

I'd like to see both but I'd accept just the striker as long as it's a quality signing.

I believe Millets have a sale on at the moment.
