Tough to call, I expect us to be quite negative like vs Stoke and use Benteke. That is the right way to play it in my opinion. Fullbacks and central midfielders shouldn't be looking to get forward unless we are behind. Counter attack with 4 players Benteke, Coutinho and whoever plays on the wings. I'd be more than happy with a 0-0 in this one. I've not been impressed with Ibe first couple of games but I think he has to play as he is our only particularly quick player. Hopefully Lallana loses out to Firminio or even Origi.

Liverpool's front six will be very interesting when it is announced. Arsenal's team could be predicted easily right now.


Have we been watching the same games? 2 games, one individual goal and one offside goal. In the home game I don't think we forced any saves from their keeper of any note. If I remember correctly, we only had about 2 shots on target. I wouldn't say we've looked decent. The only positive I could see was that we got two good results.

I'd gladly take another poor performance one nil win. Three points is all that matters.

I suspect we wouldn't be so lucky for so long, but even if we were... ok, I would take the type of wins we got at Stoke, but if they were all like the Bournemouth win it would be embarrassing.

Lucas and can cover Gomez because they will go at him and Milner can help Clyne we have three holding options out of defence phil ings and Ben all can hold the ball up well waiting on Milner and can to come through ings gives some support to Ben and also due to his energy mf this would give the goons a lot to think about before they storm forward also gives us option if phil or ings get tired to switch with firmino and origi which would keep us well organised with the same sort of threat to those they replace
lucasa wont play , the only changes might be can for henderson and possibly moreno for ibe .

"reasonable" "good enough" ... I mean, two wins, two goals, none conceded... that's "good enough" no?
