Brendan must get it right tonight to ensure Liverpool’s season doesn’t fizzle out
GK/Defence (4-3-3)
Simon Mignolet – No arguments at this stage – one of few to emerge from Saturday with any sort of positives.
Javier Manquillo – It’s been a while since the youngster started but his defensive solidity, in favour of the more attacking wing-back play of the likes of Lazar Markovic, should be preferred tonight.
Dejan Lovren – It’s time to put a bit more faith in Lovren. Can was poor defensively against Arsenal, as was Toure, and he should be given a big opportunity tonight to redeem himself.
Mamadou Sakho – The best of a bad bunch at the Emirates; will need to be the leader at the back in the absence of Martin Skrtel.
Alberto Moreno – The temptation is there to withdraw Moreno from the firing line, after being responsible for a number of goals recently, but some players respond more to having faith put in them through tough spells, and Moreno may emerge from this hard period a better player.
Don’t agree at all. The team hasn’t played 433 for ages and even then we didn’t play it well. For me this would put too many players out of position.
It is clear Mignolet stays in goal.
The defence has to be Sakho, Toure and Lovren, probably putting Lovren in the middle.
We have 3 central midfielders so I would play them narrow, Henderson right, Lucas central and Allen left. By playing narrow then can protect the defence, cover out wide and support the front.
That leaves us 4 attacking based players. For me Sterling right, Markovic left and Coutinho central and Sturridge striker.
Call it 3331 but can easily move to 3511 or 3322. Gives width, nearly always has 2 up front so keeps at least 1 of the opposition full backs in defence at all times.
l think Brendan have tried his best for the team he is a clever manager.Next season he will be alright
For what I know Liverpool will end up with a win against Blackburn because now they have positive altitude on the FA Cup win.
I agree with u coz this is a must win to all of us.
Best wishes to our players coz we really need this win.So help us GOD….
I pray they win this one for us t
oday
This is the only hope of Liverpool FC to win a trophy, they should ensure that the scale through the hurdles to night.
Rogers should go back to the diamond formation or resolve to 4:3:3.Its obvious LFC needs a new striker cause sterling is not loyal and sturridge is prone to injury.
