Based on the last game I have adjusted my preferred 11 from the
last post:
Alisson
Trent – really feel for Clyne who's done everything he possibly could to earn his place back in this pre-season but TAA is just on another planet in terms of attacking quality
Klavan – if fit, otherwise Gomez
VVD
Robertson – but he needs to step up if he doesn't want to lose his spot to Moreno
Fabinho – got to have his presence at DM in this game
Milner – will play with a shiny new bandage oh his head, Rambo-style
Gini – I really liked the adventurous version today, hope to see more of this and more goals
Salah
Firmino – to be subbed after 60
Mane
Subs: Karius, Gomez, Moreno, Keita, Henderson, Shaqiri, Sturridge
I think of Shaqiri and Sturridge as our "2nd unit" like in ice hockey – they seem to have a nice understanding, so the last half an hour will probably see both as well as Keita. Lallana and Clyne to miss out, very unfortunately for them.
