Klopp will be having a go at the fourth official whilst several Liverpool players surround the referee before someone kindly points out to them the game hasn’t actually started yet. 😉 To be fair there are a few managers/teams you can call out for doing it but we are at Anfield next.
I think we have the potential to cause them issues tomorrow with their high line. I think a lot depends on whether we have Zouma available. I think the back 3 that played Sunday is going to struggle against their forward players. I’m hoping for…
He could easily swap Emerson for Fornals to give us a LWB option should we want to switch formation in game.
If Zouma isn’t fit then Coufal comes in & we go to the back 5 from Sunday. Ogbonna seems unable to start league games which is a shame as going to Anfield with a makeshift defence of Kehrer - Zouma - Ogbonna - Cresswell isn’t bad at all.
I think playing Antonio with Scamacca is way more attacking than Moyes is going to play; we've not been playing them together this season anyway, and Moyes does tend to adopt a fairly negative approach to the bigger teams so I just don't see it happening.
Nice to see Aguerd in the training photos yesterday ahead of the visit to Anfield; he's not ready yet by the sounds of it, but obviously making progress especially as Moyes says he should be available before the World Cup (hopefully his recovery is respected by his country there). He'll be like a new signing, oh, wait.......
I think it will be the 4-3-3, at least initially, although probably with Soucek primarily on the right and Rice on the left of the middle 3. Will be interesting to see how it works.
He's got an injury and at the moment I'm not sure exactly how long it's going to keep him out," said Moyes. "It's a big blow for us as he's been a huge player for us and was just beginning to come into form and give us different type of dynamic in the team."

Edit, seems a different team on the in- game comms. Thank the lord.
What an opening this early.
