Best chance of a victory for me.
Unfortunately our defence is no where near good enough to do that. We cannot start this match at the strolling pace we have recently or the result we just be the same as before. We need to match their intensity from the off and go after them like they have us previously and we MUST score first.Park the bus. Rodgers despite only needing a draw will be too arrogant to settle. Then we strike. Smash and grab 2-0 win.
4 for meAgreed.
Flat three in midfield is imperative, for me.
Has to be this.Sterling in there with Lundstram and Diomande
10000%Best chance of a victory for me.
Weve proven in the last 3 games this is not an optionJust win your individual battles, if they are technically better…then be physically better than them
Ah the old Christmas Tree formationHas to be this.
4-3-2-1 formation for me.
I’d go…
…………..Butland
Tav Souttar Davies Yilmaz
Sterling Lundstram Diomande
………McCausland Cantwell
….………Dessers
Ross has been really poor thoughHas to be this.

Agreed it’s a problem position to fill.Ross has been really poor though
I don't agree. I think he gives more than SilvaRoss has been really poor though
Balogun looks to have an injury after yesterdayAh the old Christmas Tree formation
Pretty much what I had.
Is Balogun injures?
Not McCausland, the game will pass him byHas to be this.

^^^^^^This. It's the only way. Match the midfield instead of leaving it pretty much vacant and make sure our front line press them as a unit. Game on then.Agreed.
Flat three in midfield is imperative, for me.
We don't have a clinical enough strike force to smash and grab. Have to take the one or maybe two chances that fall our way and we need 9 chances to score 1/2 goals.Park the bus. Rodgers despite only needing a draw will be too arrogant to settle. Then we strike. Smash and grab 2-0 win.
Ross is miles away from what he was when he broke into the team, if he was playing better it would be totally different.I don't agree. I think he gives more than Silva
Agree on Lundstram but I can’t see him being dropped, but if he was…how about a 3 of Sterling, Dio & Dowell, or even a 4 with Raskin added…?Lundstram suffers terribly against them, usually looks like a lost, old man. Dio looks the part and Sterling has already played very well at their midden in midfield.
Realistically we'd need to have Cantwell as a 10 who is helping out that midfield trio.
Up top remains a big weak point of ours though.
This might not be far off it, we need to try something different and have limited options out wide.see I’d be going with a setup as below
___________|Butland|_____________
Tavernier Balogun Souttar Ridvan
___________Lundstram___________
Sterling Diomande Raskin Cantwell
___________Dessers_____________
Problem here is it relies on Cantwell to do a lot of running, but if we keep a central 3 we can alternate between him and Sterling doing that shift.
If no Balogun, swap for Davies as the other CB. Ridvan for Borna if needed.

My lineup dropped Silva only.Many creative lineups here. Let me help some of you out.
Clement will not be dropping Lundstram, Tav or Silva.
Davies or Balogun, depending on fitness.
Cantwell or Lawrence (likely Cantwell)
Sterling or McAusland wide (Likely Sterling)
He's a pretty conservative guy on starting lineups. He's more aggressive with subs than previous gaffers, but that usually comes from how the game is progressing. Let's try going up one for a change and see how that goes.
