I would expect Anfield to be absolutely rocking for every home game from here on out. The players will have to match the intensity of the crowed and there is no chance of flat performances. Up the Reds.
Of course a must win! Home matches have to be the full 3 points from now until May. On the surface they don’t seem to pose a threat. Zaha is their main man but I don’t see him getting much of the ball I expect a parked bus with an attempt to find him on the break I would like a fast start with a couple of early goals and roll to a 4-0 win!
I'm encouraged that Zaha hasn't scored in 2 months. Hopefully TAA and Robbo are feeling good in order to cut down any service to attackers, because if that job can be done to keep those 2 quiet I don't see this as a difficult match to win. Just win. 3 points by any means necessary.
Alisson TAA ..... Matip ..... VvD ..... Robertson Fabinho ..... Wynaldum Shaquiri ..... Firmino ..... Mane Salah Bench: Mignolet, Camacho, Milner, Henderson, Keita, Sturridge, Origi
Trent out for 4 weeks with a knee injury! (wonder if it was part of the injury from the Brighton game). Gini a doubt for Saturday with a knee issue. Before there are lots of complaints about Clyne being loaned: We have only 4 games in this stretch - Milner will be able to handle RB and when he is ready, Gomez can slot in (and of course Fab who plays RB for Brazil). While it would have been nice to have a natural RB in Clyne on the bench - we will make do here.
Ki-Jana Hoever is also an option at RB considering how well he did against wolves I'd be happy playing him
wonderful timing .... just when we have Zaha rolling up. neither Milner or Fab have the speed to keep up with him. Hoever may get the nod for that reason alone. although .... Hoever got a red card the other day in the U21s. would that stop him from playing?!
I guess - but Zaha is in terrible form of late and has really reverted to a one trick pony. The easiest way to do this is have Milner be the holding fullback - and have Robbo be the attacker. This also forces Wan Bissaka to stay honest and not join the palace attack.
Plan B Alisson Milner ..... Matip ..... VvD ..... Robertson Shaquiri ..... Fabinho ..... Keita Salah ..... Firmino ..... Mane Bench: Mignolet, Camacho, Hoever, Henderson, Jones, Sturridge, Origi Plan C Alisson Milner ..... Matip ..... VvD ..... Robertson Fabinho ..... Henderson Shaquiri ..... Firmino ..... Mane Salah Bench: Mignolet, Camacho, Hoever, Keita, Jones, Sturridge, Origi Personally prefer Plan B but think we might see Plan C. In either case, would want Milner to be a little more cautious going forward.
maybe but my guess is that trick will see him gliding past Millie or Fab more often than not. Camacho might get the nod. interesting choice for Klopp - youth vs experience.
Tough to say what happens right now, but Gini and Hendo just went 90. Milner is rested, Fabinho played CB, Naby is rested... that looks like a good midfield to me, but would mean Camacho at RB? Not sure I'd be really pleased with that. Win and clean sheet please!
