So for Saturday same lineup as Arsenal but with Matip and Lovren at CB and Milner at LB? No Origi and Can off the bench if they are hurt bad enough. Still don't get Sturridge on the wing. Do not like. We were much better with a CDM on the field (see Burnley).
Seems Klopp is sending a message and I also can't imagine we don't have a backup plan if Sakho does go. Gomez can't be our 4th CB right now.
Sturridge is bitching about playing out wide. Dude needs to just worry about staying healthy and shutting the fuck up.
Didn't sound like bitching to me. Gerrard used to talk about his best position all the time and no one cared. Either way, Sturridge is right. He needs to be playing at CF
Origi has the tools to play LW also. I do find it quite humorous that he's saying he wants to be CF but half the time he's dropping back to left back to get involved in the build up.
I think he was answering a question too. Its not like he held a press conference to announce his displeasure.
Saturday how I'd Like: Miggy - Clyne Matip Lovren Milner - Hendo - Mane Firmino Lallana Coutinho - Sturridge. Saturday how I think: Miggy - Clyne Matip Lovren Milner - Hendo Lallana Gini - Mane Firmino Coutinho
Milner has been pretty underwhelming as a left back for me. Moreno isn't the answer but he's better than Milner.
Really? Thought Milner wasn't great but he hasn't made the egregious decisions Moreno has. Maybe I'm glossing over Milner for Moreno's awful game at Arsenal.
Milner's not fast enough to get forward and when he does, he's too slow to get back (see Burnley's second goal). He also cuts everything back on to his right foot when he's trying to cross.
Personal preference but having 2 right footers on the left doesn't work for me. Same with 2 left footers on the right. Mane's pace makes up for that though.
If a team is sitting back, Milner is worthless offensively on the left. Just like with Flanagan, they don't have to respect him attacking the endline bc he prefers cutting in. And when he actually crosses in with his left it is weak as fuck and always gets blocked.
Milner playing LB is fucking crazy talk to me. He's fine there because he's a relatively intelligent footballer but slow as fuck. He just looks like a guy not playing his natural position.
Yeah stop play after a foul already happened in the box and replay the corner instead of giving a pen. Cool.
