No doubt it'll be sit back and defend and play hoofball with mcburnie then wait for wilder to say 'it was a tight game'
you know what, lets fuckin go for it - hardly likely to affect the season outcome, but i would play to their weaknesses, and stick McB, Burke & Brewster on
their young defenders are technically good, obviously, but they will shit a brick at the sight of them 3 (if thats possible)
i would rather go down 0-3 having had a go and the lads all out of juice, than sit back, give them 80% possession and loose 0-1 to a daisy cutter Rammers dives over
Hate to say it but McB needs to start in this one. He'll have a field day in the air with their current defensive frailties.
Ampadu is on loan so wont be here next seasonMost of these have players who aren’t available. Where possible, I say don’t pick anyone who won’t be here next season. So:
Ramsdale
Ampadu Jagielka Bryan
Baldock (Lundstram) Norwood Fleck Lowe
McGoldrick (Anyone)
Where (Lundstram) could and probably should be swapped for one of the kids, or Osborn.
Back 3 for the cup of Ampadu, Jags and JOC ?I was also thinking this sort of thing.
Play the ball, not the bowler.
Yes, Liverpool are a powerful football clubs with great history and defending Champions and quite frankly all that bollocks.
But they arrive at Bramall Lane in poor form, with a central defence to be got at, with a midfield that is lacking dynamism and an excellent forward line.
We meanwhile are down to almost no options in defence if we are to keep the same formation, which if going by what we know of Chris, we will do.
So sitting back playing it cagey is just inviting a team that is perhaps questioning itself to play themselves into form.
It's seldom we can have a right to at a big team, but this in my view is that time.
For a the talk of injuries, we cna pick last season's first choice midfield.
With the exception of Mousset, we can pick whatever forward line we want.
Aim surely has to be to keep the ball away from the defence as much as we can.
I'd be looking to attack TAA because he is not by any means a good defender.
My team:
Ramsdale
Baldock Jags Ampadu
Bogle Lundstram Norwood Fleck Osborn
McGoldrick Burke
Toss of a coin on Bryan or Baldock but Ampadu had been doing ok there and Baldock is a very good out and out one on one defender. It's not as if the Liverpool forwards are big. Though Bryan can add an aerial threat.
I'd also like to see Baldock there as Ampadu is unavailable for Chelsea. Bryan an obvious one to come in for him at LCB but we then need na option at RCB. We should have a go in the cup and I'd like to think we can plan for that rather than throwing something together last minute.
At last someone had said itBogle isn’t fit
He can ifForgot Ampadu cannot play in cup
Do like the second line up, Ampadu sat in front of the back four, with the McGoldrick link centrally. It also gets rid of the out of form players, although some would be needed as subs with maybe younger 'unblooded' players completing the numbers.Again, we need to change the whole setup. Outnumbered and overran in midfield, powerless to supply the front
It needs to change from a possible (under Wilder)

We need to break out of this pretend 3-5-2 mindset (which for much of the game is in fact 5-3-2 or even 8-2 and pack the midfield out. McGoldrick is the key for the lock in both instances with Burke's pace against the defence
pommpey
Attack...attack...attack attack attack
Rather lose 7-4 than 0-2.
The remainder of the season is likely to be dull with the inevitable waiting to pop it's head around the door.
Not sure a couple of heavy defeats will have much impact now one way or the other.
We need to start developing a front foot approach for next season even though we obviously expect some new faces by then.
Some will always find room for criticism whatever we do if we don't win.people say that but I don't believe them.
I'll make a prediction....we play open expansive entertaining football against Liverpool creating loads of chances but we lose 4-1.
You can bet very few will be interested in our positive approach.
In fact many will say Wilder is tactical naive and we should never be too positive against Liverpool when they are such a good counter attacking side.
I suppose the real answer is to choose some middle ground....open up slightly....being more attack minded but still weary of defensive duties.
Ampadu, Bryan and Lundstram... as it stands all three of them won't be here next season
Ampadu is on loan so wont be here next season
And then 3 away games in a row3 home games in a row that's strange??
=6 defeats lol just kidding, I'm just hoping KIippity isn't gunna try and use us to prove a point that Liverpool aren't a spent force.And then 3 away games in a row
