  • The way Moyes spoke yesterday, I think Lanzini is starting.

    What about...

    Adrian
    Collins - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Antonio - Noble - Kouyate - Evra
    Lanzini
    Arnautovic - Chicharito

    Hart, Reid, Byram, Zabaleta, Rice, Mario, Hugill
  • Evra ;weep

    Please let me be wrong about him ;pray
  • My ;wahoo was for the free t-shirt, not Lukerz team. ;biggrin

    Think we’ll do ok today. Reasonable record against the big boys under Moyes (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss). We suit sitting deep and compact and then breaking away on the counter.

    Can’t backtrack now ;biggrin
  • Lawro got us losing 3-0, always a good sign.
  • Lawro hardly even acknowledged that we were going to be playing!
  • Lawro gets as far as ‘Liverpool v’, stops reading and predicts 3-0.
  • Lanzini's in. Little Pea out
  • Evra starts
  • Possibly Alderz, but I'm not convinced. When Arnautovic and Lanzini are back, I reckon Chicha is back on bench.

    I suppose a lot will depend on who our manager is in the summer, but I have a feeling he'll off regardless
    I said this back on the Hernandez asking to leave thread.

    He's in the best form since he joined the club and is dropped as soon as Lanzini is fit.

    I can only assume (hope) it's entirely tactical as we're looking at Lanzini and Arnie on the break as our main hope of scoring, but I guess we'll see in the coming games.
  • Tbf Chica doesn’t suit this sort of game. We won’t have much of the ball and he’s a poacher.

    Antonio dropped too. ;hmm

    Team is:

    Adrian
    Collins - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Zabaleta- Noble - Kouyate - Mario - Evra
    Lanzini
    Arnautovic
  • People will inevitably over-dramatise Hernandez being dropped, if true. This game doesn’t suit him, we need to play on the break and we will hardly touch the ball in their box.

    I’m sure Moyes will have sat down with him and explained his reasoning, and, though Hernandez will be gutted, I’m sure he’ll know it’s nothing to do with his form and more to do with the opposition we have.

    Hernandez will be back in for the next game.
  • Wouldn't be so sure Jorderz.

    If Lanzini and Arnie play a blinder today, you reckon either will be dropped?

    I could possibly see Lanzini playing behind Arnie and Hernandez at Mario's expense, but would that be fair?

    I guess on the positive side it's good to have those options.
  • OCS ;ok

    Barring a blinder from several players, I should have said.

    Lanzini and Arnie will always play when fit. I’d expect Mario to drop out for Hernandez, though, in games to come.
  • Evra starts has the world gone mad ;weep
  • No. He’ll be good for us.
  • Why is Reid permanently injured??..
  • well if the kop was not up for this they are now with Evra playing ;weep
  • Why is Reid permanently injured??..

    He’s on the bench!
  • Not surprised...

    Keep it tight the way they attack we need as many bodies in MF as possible..
  • Moyes confirmed that Reid is fit, not injured.
  • Been watching stream for 5 mins. Who are Liverpool playing! lol
  • Just seen shot of the tunnel, it’s the Hammers! COYI
  • Just a little concerned that we've got Collins, Zaba and Evra in a team that's got to defend against the pace of Mane, Salah and Firmino.

    Maybe a case for Antonio playing, possibly even to man-mark Salah.

    Think we're on a hiding to nothing this afternoon ;sofa
  • Dont like this

    35 year old Evra who hasnt played in month comes in against Salah

    Also this game was made for Antonio to start up front with Arnie
  • So easy and very lucky salah shouldve done better
