Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Leicester

10 September 2016 2447 comments

Saturdays’s events conclude at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will host champions Leicester City.

The big teamsheet news is that Klopp has made the decision to keep Philippe Coutinho on the bench, despite flying him back early from international duty with Brazil. That allows Daniel Sturridge to earn a second start of the season, whilst Lucas has to come into to central defence with Dejan Lovren ruled out with an injury sustained in training.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City are unchanged as they bid to build on their 2-1 win over Swansea City in Gameweek 3. There’s no place on the bench for new signing Islam Slimani.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Would have been perfect. Took a -4 hit and brought in Antonio. played Capoue... but sold Firminio for Mirallas after keeping him for 3 gws. Firminio always does this to me. last season as soon as I got him out, scored a hattrick. 🙁

    But still 38 pts, with Hazard(C), holgate and mirallas to play

    So from this GW :

    * Alexis place is not nailed when schedule is buys
    * Firminho / Mane are still an option - Liverpool mids when good can smash anyone
    * Lamela's place in doubt
    * Capoue might be a 4th mid as well
    * Snodgrass a cheap mid option as well
    * Benteke starts firing
    * Payet / Antonio

    and Chelsea, Everton still to play.

    Can I have a second WC please????

Saving FT to get Kun back in. Was worried about not having any West Ham but going to stick with Raheem for at least another week, he could go large against Bournemouth...

        Seeing that is reassuring after my poor first week with my new mc team.

      Surely anyone foolish enough to still own Redmond did the same

    Haven't watched the West Ham game, but after reading the West Ham forum, it seems like Lanzini played well, but eventually got marked out. Apparently he looks rusty but promising.

    Anyone on here who watched the West Ham game care to comment on Lanzini's performance?

        Apparently there were nearly always multiple defenders marking Zaza. They saw that Zaza got in good positions, but they said that some of the distribution to Zaza was slow. They expect it to pick up when players regain match fitness and the players gel more.

    Going to play Capoue as 4th mid. SO which of these would you NOT get in Midfield?

    Haz, Caz, FIrmino, Antonio

    Or get all 5 and go with Kun, Benetke, and a 3rd forward (9.5)?

      I'm not sold on Caz. He'd probably be the 1st I'd lose. I'm not as sold on Firminio as I was at the start of the season either - think I prefer Mane now. Would sooner drop Caz than Ibra though right now
