Yeah but honestly a back 4 of:

Moreno--VVD--Matip--Gomez

is a lot more promising than what we have now.


I agree with giving Klopp the time, we've already seen marked improvement, I think it's a trend that will continue

This is going to be to a long month. Do we have anyone that can fill in, in case if emergency? Can maybe? Anyone on the U-23s? A ton of games with an injury proned CB, a limited CB, and 20 year old CB that’s supposed to be rotating at right back.

Gomez will move inside and TAA will get a lot more playing time.

I realize that but TAA is going play every game at right back? After posting I was thinking maybe Milner, against his will could play right back.

Lineup:

Mignolet

TAA - Can - Lovren - Robertson

Milner - Henderson - Wijnaldum

Salah - Firmino - Coutinho

Holy fricking shite, that back 4.

Robertson finally getting a start. Is Can really starting at CB over Klavan? This is gonna be an interesting month

Glad Robo's being given some playing time, but Can-Lovren is putting the fear of a vengeful god into me.

I mean, we do need some rotation, so it will be good to let our main guys rest. And this is a team that is most likely gonna sit back and wait for us to break them down so the fullback pairing makes sense. Maybe Can plays slightly higher up to help break things up early in midfield and stop counters? The rest of the midfield looks good enough to help control midfield with possession and maybe some early pressing?

I'm trying to be optimistic but yea, this will be interesting

Agreed.

And Can definitely has the size and potential to be a good CB if he was committed to it.

But that's always the question with Can at least to me.

Queue pville's continued and constant gloating about lack of CBs.

Milner in MF

That said, we should have enough to get the 3 pts and move on to the big UCL matchup..


but yeah, hopefully we get VVD in Jan, but if not, we have to get someone in... even if just for depth..

Yes.

We understood that after you posted about it the 3rd or 4th time back in August.

Can has played all across the backline... CB under Rodgers.. RB for Germany and LB at Leverkusen... I think that wastes his potential though...

I still believe he can be a very good DM... Not sure why Klopp chooses Hendo over him... maybe he knows he's going...

edit: his commitment isn't a question to me, its managers lack of committing him to a position that is the question... at least for me..

So is the backline TAA-Lovren-Wij?

Or Can-Lovren-Wij with TAA and Robo playing on the wing?
