Marseille v Liverpool

[Nineteenx]

Maybe we can bring De Zerbi back with us and leave them with Slot 😂

Team

Alisson

Frimpong Konate Van Dijk Robertson

Szobo Gravenberch Mac Allister

Wirtz Ekitike Gakpo

Get the win Mo I’m for Wirtz, Wirtz for Macca if he’s back we need forwards in there

Get the win

[Insidious]

Adaptable as Wirtz is, his best work typically occurs in the left half-space, so I'd hope not to see him on the right - outside of emergencies.

Oddly confident about us in the remaining Champion's League, League phase games. Hopefully that confidence isn't misplaced.

No more gakpo for the love of god, put Rio there or play wirtz at LW

but will he fuck, just anyone but gakpo ffs, he's making it painful to watch

... Well we should be beating Marseille...... and the other game is quarabag FK (who?) can't beat them might aswell give up for the season at home too....... 2nd in the well known mighty Azerbaijan Premier League

if your not confident, you might as well give up too.

I actually put Gakpo as it’s almost a dead cert he’ll play him there

I’d probably put Wirtz there, as Gakpo sucks and there’s no-one else the summers business has decimated out forward options

[ianlfc]

God knows what team turns up, any team that runs at us makes us look very nervous. De Zerbi if I remember has his teams playing on the front foot which has me nervous . Though it will give Wirtz the space he likes so who knows . 3-3.

I was at Anfield when De Zerbi brought his Brighton side and drew 3-3, they were good. Think he’s a talented underrated manager. This will be a difficult game, we’ve struggled in just about every single game this season from Man City to Barnsley, this will be no different

Took Brighton to European football He remains a strong candidate to replace Slot

[JockStrap]

Alisson

Frimpong Konate Van Dijk Kerkez

Gravenberch Macca

Szobo Wirtz Gakpo

Ekitike

Salah to get 15 minutes at the end if we need him. Otherwise rest him up until Bournemouth.

I remain pretty confident Kev - though that confidence could take a knock if we were to "tinker" too much and I don't especially want to see Wirtz off the right, given his propensity to do excellent work in the left half-space.

It'll be interesting to see if we revisit the Diamond at any stage this season in Europe now that Isak is out for such an extended spell. Gakpo could arguably be one of the "two" and may be a tad more effective in a centralised position than us seeing the "same old same old" down the left side where he and Kerkez don't really click, largely because of Cody's absolute refusal to pass to him - see what happens.

A draw away would be a good result for this one imo. Won't be easy, but I see it as less taxing than away at the San Siro.

[Nineteenx]

It’s the farmers league but the farmers league won it last time

De Zerbi’s a great manager not sure what level of player he’ll have in that league but he’ll have them playing above their level

Did a lot of his best work at Leverkusen in the right half space with Frimpong should be doing it with Mo let Szobo or Macca arrive in the 10 position as they do best

[Nineteenx]

I’m going for this as I think it’s the best way to fit Wirtz in without leaving us a forward short who will attack the area and look to score a create very directly

We are missing that hugely as Ektike demonstrated in going it to create our only real chance except the soft pen v Burnley we need 3 proper forwards up top

I’ve gone for Robbo as he’s just so much better with the ball than Kerkez, he’ll play it direct to look to release Ekitike and Gakpo when it’s on Slot should also be looking for him to play his cross field balls to Frimpong to release him in space as he used to for Trent Robbo’s ball in is also miles better than Jerkez who needs some minutes watching one of the best do it properly

Alisson

Frimpong Konate Van Dijk Robertson

Szoboslai Gravenberch Wirtz

Salah Ekitike Gakpo

Get the win, no excuses

If you put Diaz in there for Gakpo and play as we did the prior 10 seasons that’s a proper team

No point,we all know it will be a 4 2 3 1
