van Gogh 1st Team Squad V Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 9,605 Out Of Town	Originally Posted By Ninja Skrtel I disagree that Firminho shouldn't play. I think we need all the creativity and mobility we can get and would much rather see Firminho than Benteke in the line up. Also, I think the combination of Firmino and Coutinho can unlock any defence. Also I think I think Lallana has earned a starting place. First of all: Firmino has generally been cack since he came to LFC. The one display standing out though is City away. He doesn't seem to be the person opting to get stuck in, but looks about the same as Lallana. A fringe player strolling around without aim. Doesn't seem to be arsed about defending, and hence can't be used at set pieces against us - where W Brom likely will aim at hurting us! BUT he does seem to have capacity to show a different class compared to Lallana. IF, and I say IF he was to play today we would have to play something like this: ----------------Mignolet---------------- Clyne----Skrtel-----Lovren----Moreno ------------------Lucas----------------- ---------Milner------------Can--------- -----------------Coutinho-------------- -------Firmino--------Benteke-------- Last edited by van Gogh; 13/12/15 10:20 AM.

They seem to be on the same wavelength on the pitch together. Sign Reus

Bring on Ibe in the second half if we still need a goal and see if his pace can cause them problems

We know Pulis will park a mourinhoesque bus but I feel that we have enough creativity to unlock the doors. I disagree that Firminho shouldn't play.

Yeah most likely Pulis will park the pig’s mickey as you say Ninja, but theres nothing new under the sun, teams have come to Anfield when we were known as the virgin of the north and an absolute paragon of pristine impenetrability, and wooed for the favour of a coveted nil all away draw. We always...well nearly always scorned their lusty advances with the shortest of short shrift, and we shall easily retain our honour today as well. Its a nailed on 2 - 0.
