Don't think I've seen this thread yet.


This is the team I would go with. I think all 3 new signings did enough last week to start.

Trafford (I would pick Muric)

Assignon O'Shea Esteve Taylor

JBG Berge Massengo

Fofana Odobert

Foster

Trafford (cause it won’t be anyone other)
Assignon Oshea Esteve Taylor
Massengo Brownhill
Fofana Berge Odobert
Foster

Starting XI I would like to see:
Muric (won't happen though)
Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Taylor
Gudmundsson, Massengo, Berge, Odobert
Fofana, Foster

Benson amongst those on the bench (again unlikely VK will pick)

Trafford
Assignon OShea Esteve Taylor
Cullen
. Massengo Brownhill
Berge

Fofana. Foster

I'd like:

Muric
Assignon
Ekdal
Esteve
Taylor
Berge
Massengo
Gudmundsson
Odobert
Fofana
Foster


VK will go with:

Trafford
Vitinho
O'shea
Ekdal
Al-Dakhil
Brownhill
Berge
Ramsey
Odobert
Amdouni
Foster

And we'll lose 8-0

Kinda past the point of caring right now

Muric
Assignon
Esteve
Berge
Foster
Fofana

+ 5 others

Muric

Assignon O'Shea Esteve Taylor

Massengo. Brownhill

Berge

Foster Odobert
Fofana

Never done this before but let's have a go.
Trafford
Assignon
O Shea
Esteve
Taylor
Gudmundsson
Berge
Brownhill
Odobert
Fofana
Foster

Same for me also as long as they are all fit to play

I see nobody has gone for Amdouni - it'll be interesting if VK sticks with him.

Trafford
Assignon OShea Esteve/Beyer Taylor
JBL Cullen Berge Odobert
-----------Brownhill
-----------Foster.

Tough on Fofana but I don't think we've got the wide players to go 442 at Liverpool- we need the extra midfielder to provide cover.

Pretty much has to be this team if we fancy any chance of getting something.

JBG has done very well for us over the years, but in the last few games he's started, he's looked like an OAP trying to get around the pitch.

433 with Forfana on the right. 3 defensive CMs and play direct.

Created our equaliser against Fulham showing more guile than anyone else had in that position all game!

Trafford
Assignon Oshea Esteve Taylor or Al Dak if Taylor not fit
Cullen Brownhill
Fofana Berge Oddobert
Foster

I still think he has a role as a sub for us. Just not starting against the big powerful energetic sides.

Unless he was carrying a knock or unwell and comes back fresh? I would be made up for him, but it's a hard league to not be fully at it all the time.

Thought JBG struggled notably at City and had a poor game against Luton, although he certainly made an impact as a sub against Fulham. I suggested Brunn Larsen for that reason - although given the personnel we now have, there's a plausible argument for Vitinho to play off the right sidebof midfield.

It's a pity Ramsey didn't show up better on the right side last week. Given he apparently played off the left quite a bit for Boro, I wonder if there's a case for playing him there and playing Odobert off the right.

I thought Charlie Taylor was injured?

Would go with same team as Anonymous Claret put.
Trafford
Assignon
O Shea
Esteve
Taylor
Gudmundsson
Berge
Brownhill
Odobert
Fofana
Foster

Dunno if Charlie is still injured.

What I would like:

Muric
Assignon
O'Shea
Esteve
Taylor
Brownhill
Berge
Fofana
Amdouni
Odobert
Foster

What VK will select:
Trafford
Vitinho
O'Shea
Esteve
Al-Dakhil
Brownhill
Berge
JBG
Amdouni
Odobert
Foster

I see no good reason to move Odobert away from.the left where he is playing well.

"I would go with this but I wouldn't because I'd pick Muric".

I pray Muric starts today.

Muric (haha)
Assignon
O’Shea
Esteve
Taylor
Massengo
Cullen
Berge
Odebert
Fofana
Foster

I’ve had enough of Amdouni, and I’m sick of Brownhill too.

Another game (like City, Arsenal away etc) where it matters little what team we put out. Last week v Fulham I get it. Today it's an irrelevance unfortunately. Only one winner and just a case of by how many. We'll probably play Massengo and Muric et al and when it gets to 4-0 people will say they're clearly not good enough!!

I honestly see no case for playing Ramsey at all unless we literally only have 11 senior pros left. He is truly awful onwhat we have seen so far.

Muric
Assignon
Esteve
Taylor if fit
Berge
Foster
Fofana
Odebert
Plus 3 spectators

I feel a groan coming from me when I see the team sheet .. do we need experiment with the side or just put a team out to keep the score below 5 goals

We want to see signs of progress.

Trafford

Assignon O shea Esteve Taylor

Jbg Berge Cullen Odobert

Fofana Foster
