At the end of the game Dawson will take Suarez out if his back pocket. He's marked him out of the game before you know
I dont think so.He would be in so so deep in Daws pocket he would have difficulty taking him out
Not sure the moose is ready for a start after 2 x 15 minute cameos and being out for so long. After our best performance of the season on Sunday I would stick with the same team :avbpray:
He needs to start at some point tbh, better to start with a strong team, take him off for Carroll after an hour or so if need be.
True enough, and no doubt he's our best option in there long term, just not sure on his fitness at the moment. I'd rather bring him on gradually when there's less risk and the opposition are more knackered. Hopefully not far a way from a start tho
Key is to isolate Suarez by compressing the midfield and making sure Bale does the defensive work as Johnson and Sterling will both push forward
At least Liverpool will come to get a result, we always play better when the opposition don't park the bus

I reckon he'll stick Gallas back in to try and deal with Saurez although i'd prefer to go with your line up.
Hopefully Sandro will be fit!
Very valid points. I just think that Vertonghen is the only CB we have that IS up for the task of Suarez, but slotting him into the centre means leaving Dawson out and Kyle Naughton as LB. I don't think Kyle the 2nd is up for the task and we will miss Daws and his leadership abilities.
Gallas is definitely not the answer. He's slow, immobile and has been terrible most games this season. I'm sticking with Daws.
Just realized the match is only on ESPN Deportes, here which I can't get. It's also only on the day after. FML. ESPN Deportes?! Really? I am going to end up missing this one.

It's also on ESPN3.com.
I was resigned to missing this one since I could not find it on the program guide. At least it's on ESPN Deportes although a day late. I have my dvr set in case I can't watch it while at work.
I like your back line...but what are your thoughts on this lil change up
Sandro
Lennon Dembele Dempsey Bale (With Dembele pushing up into a more forward CAM role on attack? At least for a lil bit)
With a more attack focused Dembele goal scoring capabilities go up...I see an early goal being crucial in this game, break down the red back line and hammer down Reina's already low confidence. Plus, an early goal will make Suarez try way to hard...hello yellow dive card.
As far as feeding the ball into the final third...he is more confident on the ball then Demps and can (most likely) create more chances closer to goal...basically have him play CM moving forward then a CDM with Sandro...let Sandro go for ball/ankles in the midfield...keep Dembele pushing forward.
Isnt that what he does anyway?
I see in that formation he is sat as one of the two in front of defense, but in reality he is constantly moving forward. The nature of his job is to get the ball from back to front and create opportunity/space, its what he does - no change required.
Just as at Fulham he sat in CM and Dempsey was AM, its how it works best with those two.
