Expected line up appart from Lindelof, I don't get it really. We have to score here given their 2 centrebacks. Come on lads !I usually don't whine about the lineups but come on, why are we starting with Lindelof??Gonna be mad. Very interesting selections from bothDropping Bailly is a mistake imo.Cavani off the bench is smart, Bailly getting dropped is just bizarre. Lindelof hasn't played in weeks either has he? I don't get it.
I hope Ole's got it spot on.No Matip
Low block/Deep sitting.Big call on Martial, he needs to show up. Cavani will be ready on the bench, but up against their defence, can't help but feel it would've been useful. Really attacking from them though. High scoring game coming?Lindelof for the winner!!!!Lindelof is good in games where the opposition doesn't really have an aerial threat. I don't agree with the decision, but I can understand it.
We should have enough firepower to cause that Liverpool defence all sorts of problems if we show up.Hope he proves me wrong, but on first instinct Lindelöf coming back in for Bailly is total shitefecking lindelof, oh do feck the feck off
Won't be diamond I would assume, but 4231 with Pogba on the left. Diamond would be really stupid against a team with most of its firepower and buildup on the flanks.Why oh why drop Bailly, no reason at all, our biggest match this season and he has been great last few games.
Would have put Cavani in for Martial as well but it's not a big deal. Rest of lineup is the usual.Really disappointed with that lineup.That Liverpool team is definitely there for the taking.
Lindelof over Bailly, don’t know how Eric could or deserves to be dropped? Hopefully me and the many other posters unhappy with this decision get proven wrong but on evidence so far this season, we have looked far more more solid with Eric Bailly alongside Maguire at the back than Victor being Harry’s CB partner. It’s the only disappointment I have with that lineup.
Not sure about Bailly but Cavani is pretty obvious, he can’t play twice in a week. We have seen this before when he played full 90 minutes against istanbul and then played terrible against west ham few days later.
Bailly deserves better, been immense last few games.Tony and Rash against two mc in defence. Feeling little bit optimistic nowHoping for a Lindelof 90th minute header winner.
Still suprised about no Bailly
If he makes a mistake ole will be rightly slaughtered.
I think we'll miss bailys paceFfs he went with that passenger Martial and put Bailly on the bench. Madness.The state of some of the comments in this thread with the game yet to comeWe’re sitting back and using Lindelof to hit balls over the top, something he’s been fantastic at this season.Have to assume Bailly isn’t 100% or he just can’t do multiple games a weekJust think of how many brilliant moments Bailly has put in the past few games, I would love to know the thought process behind it. Makes me think we're going to be quite defensive.Bailly and Cavani not starting... this will cost us today I dont understand what Ole is doing?Surprised about no Bailly but Martial over Cavani is a no brainer in a game like this, for me.i cant believe he is atarting Lindelof ahead of BaillyNo Matip, this could be funCan't believe lindelof over Bailly.Liverpool are starting with Henderson and Fabinho as CBs.
It'll be criminal to not score against them while playing 2 CMs as defenders.No Matip lads! We can do this! Let’s bring the 3 points to home!Why does Ole not rate Bailly?
I get he has his favourites but this is beyond ridiculous.
It's a risk, if we win then we all forget about, but if we lose then Ole will come under criticism again.Think its the right decision to be able to bring Cavani in later on. We have pace to burn up front now and their CB's are not quick.
I'm lost for words too, Bailly has been our best CB these past few games and adds some real grit to our shaky defense.Have to assume Bailly picked up a knock or something.
Ole wouldn't have picked Lindelof ahead of him otherwise, surely.
because defensively this game will be about maintaining shape and control in the box, and that's more Lindelof's game than Bailly's. Fully expected.If we fail to score against that defence we're a bit rubbish. They're begging to be attacked.- Status
