Nando. harris has the pace to switch to a 433 on attack. Back to a solid flat 4 on the defence. I like to see us sit back and play in the counter. Nice and quick. subs: dawson, Börner, Lee, Iorfa, Nuhiu, reach. Luongo. Interesting selection. Any particular reason for dropping Borner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 6 hours ago, Bouncing Owl said: Could be. Possibly Lee in midfield, Reach in wide attack and Murphy benched after a poor performance yesterday. One of 2 scenarios for me. Don't get me wrong, if Lee is up to it I'd start him. I think he's been super since his return. Just wondering if the games might be a bit thick and fast after so long out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets have your Xl and your subs, seeing as how there has been much said about our bench v Millwall. Westwood Odubajo Lees Borner Palmer Forestieri Bannan Hutchinson Reach Harris Rhodes Iorfa didn’t do enough to take the shirt off Odubajo Lee shouldn’t play Sat Tues Sat yet Surely FF must start unless he’s blotted his copybook with Bully and the big ? Rhodes v Fletch? Not worth risking Fletcher’s season for one game. Subs Dawson Iorfa Fletcher Murphy Luongo Lee Just a simple question, but why rest players in a home game we should be winning, to save them for an away game we would be happy for a point in.

If you are going to rest and rotate, it is usually standard practice to rest in the so-called easier matches. Especially if the match is a home game!

Westwood Odabajo Lees Borner Palmer Reach Hutch Bannan Harris Fletcher Rhodes There is an argument for doing so, but can Fletcher and Rhodes play as a 2? I'm not sure. We've also played well with our previous formation so far this season so there's an argument to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing major, I think if Bates was on the pitch Saturday at 6ft 4 maybe that goal wouldn’t have gone in that’s all. Borners been good. But I just wanna see how Bates does. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The fact Pep and Klopp follow this theory. The real point is we are not Liverpool or City and any success we have will be built on solid home form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players have only just started the season, there should be no reason to rest any of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
