The old tried and trusted 442 might be a half decent runner for this particular game.
Migs
Clyne Skirts Lovern Gomez
Can Henderson Lucas Milner
Benteke Coutinho
With a tight defence and plenty good long'uns up to Benteke to knock down to Coutinho, or even Ings, if Henderson isn't fit, with Coutinho in for him. Wenger won't be expecting that from Rodgers! Ferguson used it often enough and didn't do too bad with it.
Firmino last week didn't offer anything that Lallana didn't. I agree that he will start over Lallana eventually, but he was careless on the ball last week, and he was not nearly as disciplined as Lallana was defensively. I think that will change as he regains sharpness, but Arsenal isn't the time to try to play him into fitness. I'd like to see Firmino come on at the 70th minute with Markovic, Ibe and Lallana coming off. Run at them with pace and flair on the break with fresh legs.
Well we have to start him sometime. And with Lalanna not being very good in the first 2, might as well be now for me.
I'd say that time would be next week, but I understand where you're coming from.
Not as bad as last time, I want us to be solid even in defeat if need be . last season was awful down there. If we are solid arsenal always give u chances, we could win but I think BR will pick the wrong side.i.e the same as the last two games. BR doesn't change things till they fail. Result fail - not performance fail
