Change of formation, maybe?

                           Kepa

      Azpi       Toni       Silva     Alonso

                     Kante   Jorginho

            Werner       RLC      Mount

                            Havertz

 

Lamptey will be giving Alonso fits down that right hand side ffs.

He is their best player full stop. Top player.

He was easily their best player when we played them a few weeks back.

I'm all for changing the formation, but I would play literally anybody over Alonso at left back in a back 4. He's struggling in a back 3 these days and he gets a lot more protection in that formation, change to a back 4 and he will be even more exposed.

Do we even have another option at this point? Who would you suggest? The only alternative may be Sarr but he's a liability.

I would move a winger or midfielder like Saul there. It's not ideal, but Alonso cannot play in a back 4, he gets destroyed every time.

Can always play Hall there. Has played LB and LWB before.

Looking forward to Welbeck scoring again.........

I hope we see a front three of Havertz Mount and Werner. But, I imagine it will be Lukaku Mount and Werner. We need the three points

To be honest I will be really peed off if Havertz isn't playing.

Kepa

Dave Silva Rudiger Sarr

CHO Kante Kovacic

Mount Lukaku Havertz

Need to go 4 at the back as we need more offensive players and Alonso is sh*te...plus don't trust him against Lamptey...

       Kepa

azpi - silva - rudiger- hall

Mount-kante-kovacevic

        Kai

werner. - lukaku

all the others wingers should be left out of the team. No more using Pulisic or ziyech on the wrong side and Odoi out.

sarr is not good at passing rather have Hall on the left with rudiger

don't look at me nor my number, I'm the Lukaku now. - Werner 2022

Forgotten what it’s like to win a PL game. 

Now has to be the time for TT to work out his best team. He must now realise that Ziyech and Pulisic are never going to make it, while Alonso is … Alonso! I don’t know what the answer is to the LWB or LB problem, but it ain’t Alonso!

it also worries me that Lukaku is going to join the long list of big name strikers we have signed who just never made it … a list that includes Sheva, Torres, Falcao, Morata, Higuain, Kezman, Sutton, Mutu etc … in fact a shorter list comprises those who have made it - Drogba and, arguably, Crespo and Anelka?

let’s remember that Klopp and Pep have been in the job for many years now, plenty time to build a great team, whereas TT has only been here for a year!

 

 

Given we can't buy a goal recently, we definitely need Jorginho to start
