Sensible enough strategy for me 👍

Liverpool isn't.
Liverpool are far from their best and Wolves stretched them a lot. They are not the Liverpool of old and are vulnerable as we found out.

I’m sure Farke was tempted to just go for it with 4-3-3 but he needs to keep an eye on goal difference when it could end up been really tight towards the end of the season. Cant see this team keeping Liverpool out for 90 mins though but we live in hope.

Liverpool priced up at 1/2 if anyone fancies lumping on ?

Not for me as it's football so you've always got a chance.

It's a shame we have to play 2 defenders who have hardly any game time plus leave out our main (only) goal threat......hope we can keep it respectable.

Absolutely, but we’ve got 4 games in 11 days, there had to be some sort of rotation along the way.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

This lineup looks like a concession to me. Like Farke has decided we can't win and he needs to rest some players. I don't like it, but I do understand. The biggest takeaway for me is that Piroe is STILL on the bench. Which tells me there is no plan to get him into the side. Look for him to be sold soon....

But there are those who say that Farke has his favorites and never rotates... seems he has a bag of tricks that no one can predict.

In that defensive team would have preferred Willy instead of Aaronson up front.

Glad the game is away from home as the team selection would have completely deflated the ER crowd. Disappointed with the selection but I suppose you can see the logic behind it with the games coming thick and thin and especially the decision to rest DCL given his injury record.

Would definitely take a point if offered now!

Just hope Borneuw isn't too rusty.

Barely kicked a ball for months.

Same goes for Justin

With Gruev playing and no DCL I can’t see where goals are coming from, it’s a funny old game though.
