That's a very defensive line up.
I expect to concede early.

Have to trust Farke on this one with a winnable game against Man U coming on Sunday followed by a tough midweek trip to Newcastle.

Does seem like there could be more behind it than simple squad rotation
will have to see how this plays out. Tbf they have done a knock out job so far managing injuries.

Not one for rotation DF so It does seem a bit of wave the white flag and prioritising Manure.

Farke has to look at the bigger picture though and not just today.
If some players need a break then better just for today rather than 6 weeks on the treatment table.

Hopefully we stay in the game long enough to give our subs a chance of turning it in our favour late on.
That will be the plan but it does look like we'll struggle to be honest.

With that line up I think it's a case of nil points today to give us a chance of 3 points on Sunday.....I fear a mauling

What? It does and we do tend to struggle away.
Hardly a controversial statement

Hopefully.
Judging by Liverpool comments their results are deceiving and they aren't in great shape.
If we keep them out somehow Anfield could get angry quickly.

Never saw that selection coming.
Is it reverse psychology in some respect. Batten down the hatches for 65 mins and unload an attacking bench.
Or should I pinch myself for being naive.

No game should be a free hit. We need to give a good account of ourselves, but this line up feels far too defensive.

I see it as a ‘stay in the game for an hour’ then see how things are…

Scum is a very winnable game, even more so now.
Liverpool isn't.
