Still bit odd that Salah doesn't even make the bench and Ake does. I know they don't compete for spots, but we only have 2 attacking options left on the bench.
if we are going to the bench for more attackers, especially more than 2, we have bigger problems. we have our best attackers out there already. and defensive support if jose wants to shut up shop. i believe that's probably his thinking.
I was vehemently denying Mata would be sold literally right up to the day it was announced, even to the point of mocking anyone who suggested it was coming.
Liverpool have won their last 5 away games in all competitions. The last time they won 6 in a row was Nov 2011. The 6th win....away to Chelsea in the League Cup.
Ah true Mikels is out of this game. Totally forgot. Still I'd think José would look at Ramires as his first option off the bench anyways, but you're quite right with that assessment

If the opposition can pull Matic wide, there's nothing protecting the back line. Cesc has never had positional discipline, that was known.
