Tbf Sissoko was a DM at Toulouse and played in CM when he joined Newcastle. Didn't start playing as AM/RM until 14/15 I believe.
Vorm
Trippier, Dier, Wimmer, Davies
Wanyama, Dembele
Sissoko, Onomah, N'Koudou
Janssen
I know we want to rotate the squad, but at the same time I don't want to throw the game. Quickest and most convenient route to a cup final.

People still putting Sissoko as a cm
Vorm
Trippier CCV Wimmer Davies
Dier Winks
Sissoko Lamela GKN
Janssen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's wrong with that? It's a side we would like to play, not one that we except to play.
Vorm
Trippier CCV Wimmer Davies
Winks Sissoko
Lamela Onomah Nkoudou
Jansenn
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because he's not a cm especially in a 2 and didn't even play there for us when we was short of players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah but hes gonna get a ban I think so might as well use him somewhere. maybe he can learn a new position, like Eric Dier did ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then use him where he normally plays
he's not good enough to play CM in a 2 anyway. Not good passer not great tackler but because he can barge himself through a few players people think he can be like Dembele.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He played in a midfield 2/3 under Pardew and looked impressive. Covered defensively well (when he initially joined) and was impressive on the ball. Believe he came from Toulouse as a DM anyway.
I know he hasn't played in midfield for us under Poch but that isn't the point of the article, it is more who you would play.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Had the conversation with LLM. Yes he came as a DM but since only played CM as a 3 but 90% of the time he's played as a winger even for France he's played more on the right than central.
As for the article he's asking for a team line up so surely you'd play players in correct positions?
Like saying play walker LB as he played there for Sheffield united 8 odd years ago

His first season he was more of a AM. Tiote and Anita was the two behind him
Too many games in too short a space, and this one has to be lowest priority, sadly, so I'm with Chronic's team.
You just can't prioritise everything, something has to give, so give the younger /reserve players a run out and hope they take their chance
He'll probably go stronger than we think TBH
Last time Eriksen & Lamela with walker coming on & Son, Waynama & Verts all on the bench

This is going to become a really long reply chain.
Anyway, I think that is an appalling comparison. The better one would be playing Dembele in attacking midfield, or on the right wing (which he has done).
I have seen enough of him further back to thnk he can do a job, he provides power and drive in the midfield which I think counters Winks very well.
I would argue that CM is one of his correct positions, much like CB is one of Dier's correct positions. Its harldy like suggesting Jansenn plays back there.
Given the last 12 months, I'd be surprised if Klopp played too many fringe players.
He likes to win all the cup games.
I think our team will look something like this:
Mignolet
Clyne Klavan Matip Moreno
Coutinho Lucas Grujic Firmino
Sturridge Origi
No sorry would go stronger than that. That team is basically setting up to say we don't mind losing this. I want to win a trophy this season and let's be honest, we got zero chance of winning the CL and I don't think we got the minerals to win the league either. I wouldn't go completely full strength but I certainly wouldn't go as weak as your team....my team for historypool
Lloris
Trippier. Wimner. Verts. Davies
Dier. Dembele
Sissoko. Nkoudou
Eriksen
Janssen
Hengy, what are you on about?
are you suggesting that Sissoko is incapable of learning a new position? its CM I would play him, not in goal.. its not exactly a million miles away from playing attacking mid is it?
not asking to dominate the Barcelona midfield here are we? I am basically suggesting he fill in in that role as I don't want to play the first team, and he will probably be banned and unavailable for a while so he might as well play there and who knows, he might be good.

this team would lose, so its pointless. either go full strength, or go reserves
what is the point in playing a half and half side?
Why would it lose chronic? Your team is awful mate. You are just basically saying, let's just go out the cup. With my team we still might have a decent chance of progressing and it's still pretty strong. No way in a million years would I start Vickers in defence against Liverpool. He might have talent but I want to win this game.
Bar Ali, wanyama and the full backs... My team is very strong where as yours is basically a youth team line up with the odd experienced players. Might aswell throw in the towel and not bother turning up with your team.
In a sense it's good the fact it's a tough fixture will make up our mind for us that we shouldn't bother going all out with a strong team. I mean we could play a stronger team here and still lose, so may as well go weaker and see what happens.
I know you can't pick and choose your competitions really but the main focuses for me would be FA Cup and PL title. I'd say all 4 but we clearly don't have the squad to compete on 3 fronts let alone 4.
Go a similar line up to Chronic's.

A CM is actually very different than a AM. A AM has very little defensive duties to start with.
Anyway it doesn't matter not like poch is going to be playing him there.
Dier & Winks for me

you are right, I would name a side that would get knocked out the cup
Lloris
Trippier. Wimner. Verts. Davies
Dier. Dembele
Sissoko. Nkoudou
Eriksen
Janssen
This team works for me..just need to get the ball early to Nkoudou and Sissoko. I think counter attack pace could cause Liverpool problems. They will fly out the traps leaving space behind full backs.
Eriksen needs to pick up his game though.

Exactly Ioavirgo, not sure if you were just copying and pasting my team? But yeh that's the team I went for and I feel that's strong enough to give Liverpool a go and possibly win. All this talk of starting Winks, Onamah and Vickers is ridiculous. Might aswell not bother turning up to Anfield if we are playing that sort of team.
The team looked jaded on Saturday and we have a huge league game this weekend so its time to give our top boys the week off and give the fringe/youth players a go. We have used the Europa for this in the past however in its absence the domestic cups are the only opportunity, no brainer for me!

The trouble is these players need game time else they'll never be ready. If they don't play now then when? If we get injuries this season and then call upon said players, they will be under pressure to perform, with little or no first team experience.

absolutely.
I named my team considering how utterly useless and lethargic we have looked the last few games.
looking ahead to our November fixtures, we really need to beat lesta this weekend
Poch has come out and said Winks can play as the '1' in a 4141.
As much a hint as any.
Don Tottenham wanted Paddy Kenny as our keeper
