But then who do we play as the other 10? Anyone else there would be awful.

Onana0-1 Hojlund goal bottom corner, Liverpool wasteful.can't afford to concede within the first 15-20 minsThere practicing crosses in the box. Not that it will do much good
Don't concede the first goal on 42nd minute eitherWill be a drawHopefully, the team form will be out of the window for this derby and a surprised win for us. Fingers crossed.
I know I know once the game start I will be very much less optimistic.Does Martinez only play because he is left footed?
Think he’s fine, he just isn’t yet first choice. Most likely player to come on as a sub in the second half though, Amorim likes to bring him on in the 60th min onward
No, because he can pass the ball.
One half of that prediction is much more realistic than the other.
Must be watching the Martinez from two seasons ago. This one is a bomb scare.Calling it now, 9 0 to Liverpool. Possibly 10.
Midfield looks weak again. Too many defenders. Not enough creativity. The body language of players is dire already. I think 4-1 Liverpool. Of course I don't want that.
And who at 10?
He can still pass, he just can't defend
No , just no , please noWas hoping someone might be more positive than me. I was wrong
He plays because Ten Hag knew him once.
Probably a good shout not to destroy a young defender's confidence with what's about to come
Amen.I think that rather than panicking that we're playing five defenders again, focus on the fact that we've doubled our tactical sessions this week and each player, Mazraoui and Dalot included, will know better and more intimately what movements are expected of them.
Don't think of it in terms of, "hasn't worked, won't work now".
The difference is the tactical work on the field and not explicitly whether wingers have been shoved into wing-back positions or not.
I think it is absolutely in line with the average mental state of this place
Just to be sure, it was a tongue in cheek comment, the really mean ones are locked and loaded for the time after the final whistle ^^Always nervous before a game at Anfield. We never win here. In fact we rarely ever score here.Would be amazing if we could not lose today
They barely see the ball anyway especially in a game like this. Might as well play Eriksen there
You could be but it would be delusional.
Relax, bro! Easy!They’re so stuffy this season that even when a player (Gomez) gets injured, their first choice CB partner (Konate) is fit.
Team played better with Amad as wing back. He should play there until we sign a lwb and rwb capable of playing the position.
It's a vital part of the system more so than the 10 currentlyThink if we concede early we may get a proper drubbing. Only hope I think is to hang on for as long as possible and try and nick the first goal.Hate the pomp and circumstance around YAWNThe strongest starting XI until Shaw and Mount are available.
this
Our current strongest XI has to have Amad at RWB until we sign other wing backsCan someone let me know when yawn ends so I can unmute? Thanks in advanceI have confidence in Amorim setting us up in the right way, big question marks over players being able to pull it offThink there's a red card in this. Bruno/Martinez
