hi peeps
been pondering our team for tomorrow, especially given our inconsistencies and klopps press conference and our performance weds night.
we need to get a run going
but our history vs palace is horrid recently.
so who to pick?
do we go for the counterattack and use pace and trickery or do we go with robustness and prepare for a physical game as we succumbed to in November?
personally I don't want to break up the team from weds too much but we need some tweaks
..............mig
clyne...lovren..sakho...flanno
.........hendo...can
milner..coutinho..lallana
...........sturridge
ward toure Moreno firmino allen benteke origi
I think we work well in 4231 and we need strong fb vs palace. lallana was excellent vs city as was firmino but he gets lost v physical teams. milner lallana and couts all press great, add that to can and hendo and we can harass palace in to submission. origi was great vs city also but danny boy has that xfactor to occupy their cbs
we must start fast and aggressive. do that and I think we can do it
thoughts anyone?
Team vs Palace?

Milner was superb vs city and with Palace's pace and strength on the wings we'll need the cover he brings!

city and palace play completely different styles

I lke that team and im glad people are realising moreno is a fkn liability, we will need proper defenders to counter zaha and bolasie.
Maybe start with firmino and use couts from the bench, you don't drop players who are scoring and assissting imo.

Very tough for Klopp today, he said as much in presser.
Man Utd on Thurs is a massive game which he has to consider, as well as being fair to the players who played very well on Wednesday.
FLANNO can't play in the Europa (Klopp admitted he regrets picking Caulker ahead of him in the Europa squad), so surely will start today as he gets 2 weeks off afterwards with us having no game next weekend.
I think we might see Allen come in for Hendo. Hendo is still recovering from his heel injury and Klopp will want him ready for Utd.
So back 7:
Mig
Clyne
Toure
Lovren
FLANNO
Allen
Can
Then it starts getting very difficult. Usually you say Studge and Coutinho are our two best players so both come back in, but with Lallana excelling on Wednesday it makes it tough to fit them all in.
You can't drop Firmino IMO as the form player in the league in 2016, unless you want to rest him for Utd. Studge will probably come in for Origi, a game before Utd should do him good.
You could rest Milner but then he is in form and never really needs to rest as he is a Duracell bunny, and as KLS said his tracking back will be important against Palace's wide men.
I think I would leave Coutinho on the bench. Bring him on if we need to and reward the form showed by Lallana and Milner on Wednesday.

Really don't think we need to be considering resting anyone for Thursday. They have four days to recover, and then a week after the United game. Whilst we still have a chance, albeit a small one, of top four we should be putting our strongest side out for the next game in front of us.

I know our recent record against you is good but I'll be surprised if you don't win today tbh.
A point for us would be huge.

we're still a little erratic TUX, we've finally after 3/4th of a season got out attacking players fit but on the day it's still a coin toss whether there will be chemistry.
