Free hit with full strength team or rest a few bodies with the FA Cup match in mind?

Rest for me, even though I hate the approach. Just think it could be good to give players like Barnes and Osula more minutes and definitely Miley. Anfield is a graveyard for us and we could win with a full strength squad and if we were carrying momentum into the match but i can’t see it

I don't really think this is a game where we can sit back and hit them on the counter like we have done against the likes of Arsenal. I think our best chance of getting anything is to really go toe to toe with them and if the game gets stretched that will benefit our front 3 in particular. My concern would be more around our two centre halves though, because, despite Burn being one of our players of the season both he and Schar aren't particularly quick. That's why for me Dubravka also starts and acts as a sweeper keeper.

Not a chance in the world we win this.

 

Dubravka

Trippier

Krafu

Re-sign Dummett

Targett

Longstaff

Stop Salah and we can win this.

 

Hall got utterly roasted by him earlier in the season, which doesn't help.

1st part yes, 2nd part not even close. Salah was just lethal in the small moments he had. Even on comms they were saying how well Hall played Salah. Hall biggest mistake was giving the ball away in the lead up to the 1st goal.

It would, but it’s extremely unlikely with or without Bruno. Sunday is a bigger game imo.

 

We can beat Brighton without Bruno

Dubravka as a sweeper keeper? He's glued to his line

He's better with the ball at his feet than Pope. I actually think he's our more in form goalkeeper too tbh.

I've seen us win there more than lose in the flesh.  Wont be going to this so for that and some other equally meaningful reasons - a narrow defeat will have to do.

Beating Liverpool would be huge for our season

 

We're not beating them twice in 3 weeks so I'd rather we save any miracles for March 16th.
