aaron Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Most suggested line-ups omit Lookman and DC-L. IMO, we should start one of them, my preference in this case being Lookman. I'd disagree and say DCL for me, scored in his last outing, scored on international duty, the lad will be full of confidence, Lookman would be great from the bench later on in the game when its stretched. His pace would cause their defence problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pace would cause their defence problems. I am inclined to agree provided Ronald is happy that the occasion will not get to them. Personally, I think both DCL and Mola are/will quickly become big game players and I would like to see DCL in the starting line up too - but where, and at whose expense? Joel Holgate. Jags. Williams. Baines Davies. Schneiderlin. Gana Barkley Rom. DCL Mirallas and Mola striking options off the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droobie Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 With the injuries picked up so far, it's now down to Koeman earning his dough. Of the team that's been playing well for us the last few games, we have 2 + 1 key players out. Makes squad selection, formation and tactics all the more important. I think it'll be purely up to how the manager "manages" the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) thoughts on lineups. 343 robles holgate jags williams ??? gana schneiderlin baines Barkley Lukaku Mirallas 433 Robles Holgate Jags Williams Baines Davies Schneiderlin Gana Barkley Lukaku Mirallas 343 just need to find a RWB (davies? lennon?, garbutt?) which is a massive weakness there. i don't see us going this route. 433 would be beneficial because no one is out of position (like the 343 RWB), if schneiderlin is injured barry can play more forward and gana be in front of the defense. I feel this formation plays more to the strengths of our team. Edited March 30, 2017 by markjazzbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brisbaneblue Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Assuming McCarthy and Schneirderlin are joining Coleman and Funes Mori on the sidelines, I think Koeman will probably go one of two ways: 4-3-3 Robles Holgate Jagielka Williams Baines Gueye Barry Davies Barkley Lukaku Mirallas 3-5-2 Robles Holgate Jagielka Williams Kenny Gueye Barry Davies Baines Barkley Lukaku Koeman's lineups have been unpredictable of late so perhaps Valencia or Calvert-Lewin would play in place of Mirallas in a 4-3-3 but I don't think there are too many alternative options in defence or midfield than what I have listed. I can't say I've seen Kenny play a whole lot so maybe someone can fill me in on whether he would be more of an attacking or defensive minded RWB? When we were playing with 3 at the back in the middle of the season Coleman was getting forward a lot allowing Baines to stay back and Holgate to drift right and I thought that worked well in not leaving Rom and Barkley isolated but also in breaking up counter attacks but I don't know if Kenny is more like Coleman or like Baines.

Guest rusty747 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I love Ronald's quietly infectious confidence.

Definite starters: Joel Baines Williams Jags Holgate Ross Lukaku Gueye Davies Starter/Bench: Mirallas Barry Valencia DCL Lennon Bench: Stek Lookman Kone Dowell Pennington Kenny Walsh Out: Coleman Schneiderlin Mori McCarthy Bolasie Besic This team selection is going to be fascinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 You never know with Barry. But I don't feel great about the prospect of him starting with the pace them lot play at at Anfield. He gives away too many free kicks in bad positions. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I think it has to be 4 at the back - based purely on who is available so something like: Joel Holgate. Jags. Williams. Baines Gana. Barry Davies. Barkley. DCL Rom I have gone for DCL over Mirallas as he started v Hull, scored and is obviously high on confidence. The only way I can see 3 at the back working is with a 3-4-3 something like: Joel. Holgate. Jags. Williams Lennon. Davies. Gana. Baines Barkley. Rom. DCL With the option of starting 3-1-4-2 with DCL on the bench and bringing Barry in just in front of the back three.

Elston Gunnn Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Definite starters: Joel Baines Williams Jags Holgate Ross Lukaku Gueye Davies Starter/Bench: Mirallas Barry Valencia DCL Lennon Bench: Stek Lookman Kone Dowell Pennington Kenny Walsh This team selection is going to be fascinating Agree that our injuries have complicated, made fascinating, Koeman's team selection. Also agree with ANYT's list of definite starters. And if they are in fact "definite," then up to a point, Koeman's task is not complicated. But it's those last 2 spots, complicated both as to who starts and where. Isn't it likely that the 11 starters tomorrow will not have started a single match together this season? That complicates things. I'll guess that Schneiderlin's absence makes it likely that Barry starts. Davies and Gana provide pressing energy all over the pitch, but neither "controls from deep" the way Barry (like Schneiderlin) can. I will be surprised if Barry does not start. The 11th starter probably comes down to Mirallas or DCL; 50/50, I'll guess Mirallas. If Everton are behind at 60-65 minutes, and if Barry, as seems likely, can no longer play a full match anyway, his replacement at 60-65 minutes could be any of DCL, Mirallas, Valencia, Lennon, or Lookman. Or ..... Kone??? (Surely not.) But if ahead, not clear to me who would be a defensive replacement for a tiring Barry. If ahead, "controlling from deep" is no longer a priority. Need more energy/tackling/breaking up play/disrupting Liverpool's flow. Meaning, maybe, Lennon? If tied, subs will depend on whether Koeman thinks bold attackers can steal 3 points, or whether Everton are trying to hold on and take a point. I'll guess, to begin the match, 3-4-2-1 --- Stekelenburg Holgate Jagielka Williams Davies Gana Barry Baines Barkley Mirallas Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
