Squad wise, I'm happy. They are likely to field an 18yo right wing back (hes a winger really) and that could go badly for him vs Barisic + Kent. Edouard and Elyounoussi, if they even play, will be less than 100%. Bolingoli is injured and Taylor is cup tied meaning that Hayes (just returned from injury) will play left back
We are pretty much at full strength + pretty much full form.
Rangers have been playing some great stuff recently but what I'm concerned about is how the last game against them started and continued for most of the game. We did not have an answer for the relentless high press.
One positive that takes away some worry is that Gerrard rarely makes the same mistake twice. Sometimes its easy to forget he is still a novice manager who has lots to learn. This is no dig on him, I hope he stays with us for years and I'm absolutely delighted at what he has done so far.
Another positive is that we have Helander who can actually play from the back. No knock on big Katic but he cant (yet). Goldson has also improved his distribution a lot this season. I just wish Shaggers distribution was half as good as his shot stopping.
I don't want to end on a negative so my prediction is an early Morelos goal from a delicious Barisic cross. Then we play keep ball to chants of "ole" until TLB's head explodes.
