Team in vs Liverpool

I like it.

[The Little Dave]

I like it, shape will be interesting to see. If we push Robinson and Castagne high then I'd like to see Berge almost split the CBs and we quickly fall back to a back 3 out of possession with Charles more central. Iwobi playing less wide and providing support to the midfield.

As long as the tactics do change a bit then I think this is a first positive step towards adaptation. Hopefully I'm not wishful thinking only

Am I seeing this right? Iwobi on the wings and no Palacios? He must be reading this forum.

[Thailand Mick]

Sess not even on the bench?

[Pock]

Well, he's picked the team that the majority of supporters were suggesting. Let's see if it works.

Thanks SerbianLad. COYW!

Best lineup so far, in my opinion. And the most balanced.

[Bassey the warrior]

I like the look that, very intrigued to see how Affengruber does, hopefully he's got decent pace, and more importantly anticipation.

Arbeloa has realised the Iwobi experiment isn't working, something to be fair that Silva didn't.

Credit for putting Tete on the bench, who can step in if our right wing is as open as last time.

Whilst I'd love a point, the most important thing is to show improvement defensively without sacrificing our attack like the Sunderland game.

I just don't get what he sees in Castagne over Tete.

That being said, hope Castagne proves me wrong today and puts in a top performance.

This line up needed to be more solid now it's down to the players selected ,Berge making up to 3 accross the back line.
Leno needs a good game as well.

[Coastwalker]

I just don't get what he sees in Castagne over Tete.

That being said, hope Castagne proves me wrong today and puts in a top performance.

Tim's form at the end of last season and start of this,you don't drop a man,because you like someone else.

[The Cravenette]

Is Sess injured? Otherwise not sure why he wouldn't be on the bench.

Good team otherwise. COYW!

[Coastwalker]

Leno keeping his place?
Think Lecomte deserved a start.

[ffc73]

Unless he is injured, I'd have preferred Sess to be at least on the bench. He is an intelligent footballer who can be deployed defensively or offensively

This was pretty much what I was thinking, but without giving Affengruber such a high pressure debut. From what I've watched, I really like him, so this inclusion makes things just that more interesting. Cannot wait!

[Neutral Zone Ultra]

He's shut a few people up in the sense that he's proved he's not consumed by favouritism by dropping Palacios.

[Bassey the warrior]

I just don't get what he sees in Castagne over Tete.

That being said, hope Castagne proves me wrong today and puts in a top performance.

It's the attacking qualities, he has better movement. To be fair he's looked great going forward, less so defending.

Hopefully Affengruber meets the moment.

****! Bartola starting, I thought he was injured. Probably explains why Andersen was benched, can you imagine him up against Isak then having to cover against Barcola. Looks like Berge is on the right pivot but I'd argue it should be the more mobile Charles.
