We've not really seen the Eddie'd Lascelles, so am fine with him starting and he at least is a proper threat on goal from a corner unlike the rest of our "giants".

Aye good point.

If Schar is out what would you do?  IMO Targett at LB and Burn in at CB.  Would rather have that than Lascelles in.

Just slot Lascelles in. He’ll not want to disrupt too much of the back four and Botman and Burn are both left footers. Lascelles with Trippier next to him, keeping him right, will do fine. He was away to Man City tbh

i think it'll be lascelles in for schar. howe won't make two changes to the back four. he also likes one left-footed CB and one right-footed CB for balance

[Holden McGroin 6579]

Lascelles did well v Man City.

[Gemmill 44778]

Aye Lascelles has looked decent for the most part. Howe will play him if Schar is out.

[Christmas Tree 4725]

In the presser yesterday he was fairly open about Schar and Bruno’s injury and chances. He was much more closed on two other players who were struggling. It could be that was genuine and there are multiple changes tonight or mind games.

[Christmas Tree 4725]

I’ve found myself in cup final mode  I suppose they are all going to feel like this now until it’s decided. Should maybe get some cans and hang around Greys monument all day.

[Christmas Tree 4725]

Also wonder if the sensible move would be for Gordon to suddenly have a mysterious illness tonight.

 

I know there crowd will be hostile anyway but might be less of a distraction if he’s absent?

mysterious illness that lasts the rest of the season

[wykikitoon 20109]

I think he may start Gordon.

One magpie on the dog walk this morning. Ah well  

 

 

 

A sparrowhawk killed a magpie in my garden yesterday.

 

This is the guilty culprit, if you look hard enough you can see FTM tatooed on his wing feathers.

It's going to go either way. He either plays the game of his life, or gets a red card for snapping someone without 30 seconds 

[Renton 21552]

Not worth the risk. Keep him on the bench and wheel hi out only if there's is a tactical reason to or we are winning comfortably (for the lols). 

[Gemmill 44778]

4-0 up. Get him on in a Harry Enfield scouser wig doing the "Calm down" bit to the crowd.

I think he’ll be on the bench. Id go down the stomach bug route as well. Fergie used to take Neville out of the squad b Liverpool if he was on the bench. You want to keep the crowd calm.

 Make a deal with Everton. We'll play Malfoy only if Rex plays.

I'm nervous about Lascelles playing, but he might be a good match up for DCL, and as people have said he was decent against Citeh. I'm not quite in the pampers party, but we do have to be mindful that Liverpool are fully capable of winning every game until the end of the season. A win tonight and a win against Southampton and I'll be a lot more tranquil.

Was it Ancelotti who used to drop Pickford against us? 

[MrBass 2651]

Eddie's not one to change a winning formula, but he is one to rotate the squad during busy periods. So I could see Isak and, either, Murphy or Willock on the bench and Wilson and Gordon starting tonight.

he's got to start isak against their central defenders

[MrBass 2651]

I hope he does as he's in my FF side, but last 3 game week Wilson got the midweek slot.

[wykikitoon 20109]

I think he may start Wilson.

[Rosco 759]

He can't start Gordon.......he'll get himself in the shit and get booked/sent off  

[Winston 41]

Anyone that thinks Liverpool will go the rest of the season unbeaten are mental. They just about beat Forest & West Ham and have been very lucky with ref/var calls. Their backline is atrocious. I can easily see them losing a min 2 games.
