I’m taking a break from my normal team selection video to put some thoughts down in written form.

I could use the help this week, with several possibilities for transfers entering my mind as we head towards the Gameweek 8 deadline.

        ...which helpfully highlights Rodgers in the local press, sounding like he will keep playing him:

        “When you concede goals, it’s more about the collective, it’s not just on a goalkeeper,” Rodgers said. “Danny’s come in and it’s been a challenging start, but it’s been a challenging start for us all. When you lose games, every aspect is analysed and looked at. With him, it’s just reinforcing his confidence. He’s a top keeper, an international keeper, and I’m sure he will go on and get that consistency in how we would like to play.”

        Ah literally to generate the extra 0.1 for me mate, if Pope gets injured I’ll just have to deal with it using a transfer but I don’t intend on alternating keepers

        Would you go Bailey or Andreas?

      Not nailed at all. Coufal more certain, even he is not 100% when Johnson is fit. Kehrer could even go RB

      Emerson is LB and competes with Cresswell, who is getting back from injury (was on the bench tonight). Coufal and Johnson are RBs.
      When 442 Cresswell is the prefered LB, in 352 Cresswell moves to LCB and Emerson is LWB.
