Hello Ed001,
If you were in charge and constrained by the same set of players after the Spurs match, what changes would you make?

{Ed001's Note - put Ward in goal and Gomez in the centre alongside Matip, with TAA at right back.}

Because we are conceding a lot I would switch the formation while Mane is out, Pull Emre back alongside Henderson make them both Sit and protect the back four and put Pip up on the LW with Salah the otherside and Bobby at 10 and try something different uptop with Studge or Solanke or put woodburn in at 10 with bobby uptop.

Spot on ed, it makes so much sense that we try Gomez at centre back, with a recognised rb and see what ward can do.

I wouldn't put bobby up top he doesn't have 20+ goals a season in him i am not bobby bashing i like the lad but he is no striker i would adree with ed001 with gomez and taa and would like to give solanke a run with bobby behing him and pip have a free roaming mane salah on wings and make the back 4 stop bombing forward and can at the back of midfield we need to mix it up because what we are doing is not working that's just my opinion.

FSG should hand Ed1 3 trial matchs (vs Huddersfield, WHU, Soton) .

{Ed001's Note - I think I might be a bit old now to play mate, though even with my dodgy knees I could cover the ground quicker than Matip 'chasing' back....}

KLOPPERS
I totally agree with you and the tweeking in the system i think solanke gives you a different option up front. you can't play your way through every team you come up against and 2 wins in the last 10 games proves that if klopp thinks he can then he's either nieve or arrogant. he also needs to pick a back 4 and keeper and give them a run of games together instead of all this swapping and changing ward-tta-gomez-matip-moreno or Robertson its only my opinion.

Hi Ed 1,

I agree 100% with the changes suggested above as do most fans!

But if it's so blatantly obvious to us, why can't Klopp see it?

And why don't red reporters at these press conferences ask these direct questions instead of skirting round the issues?

Klopp has to be pinned down on this as it's gone on too long.

{Ed001's Note - managers do this a lot, they opt for experience out of fear. As for reporters, I have no idea why reporting is so crap these days, but it is the norm these days to just report crap off InstaSnapFaceTwitBookErChatGram rather than bothering with actual news now, so I suppose what do we expect? People don't care about issues just gossip so that is they get given now.}

Personally I'd love us to drop both Matip and Lovern, but we only have Gomez to come in so means Matip needs to stay in the set up. That gives TAA the right back spot. Moreno has done better but I think Robertson is a better option and should also slot in. I know that's a lot of defence changes but needs must and these guys need game time to gain the experience. I'd also be dropping Migs and brining in Ward, he has shown a calmness over Migs and Karius. I think Can could be used as a CDM in front to give more cover while this set up settles in. I do not see VVD as the answer and is very expensive but is an upgrade on our current players. Maybe the scouting net needs casting further afield to find someone.
We have a strong midfield set up and when Mane back we are full of options. I like Bobby and gives us a good amount of energy up front. I do however think we should be giving Solanke more time as he is a more out and out striker. I know both Woodburn and Brewster are young but they need to start getting first team experience around the U23 games to give them development and know that the club will use them. Yes they are young but so was Owen and Fowler when they came in, good enough then your old enough.

Just my 2 p worth,

Baz.

I don't think we need two dcms out of three cms. I would play can as dcm. Week in week out. I would give gomes a shot at cb next to lovren. Matip mistakes were just as costly as lovren and matip wasn't pushed in the back when he messed up with the header. Unlike lovren who was. I would worry for Joe though as he is quite xmall and inexperienced and if he made loads of mistakes it could really harm his Liverpool career. On the other hand it could ignite it.

I don't think we have a problem up top. We scored eight goals last week. I love the mix and match style of the false nine and kind of false wingers, I call em that as they are goal scorers reall, they don't supply endless crosses to the middle and are our main goal threat.

I think we have the players to change to the good old fashioned 442 when we need to with dom so lane a great option and great target for the wingers midfielders to find.

It's all pretty academic in January we need to sign a cb. Then I'm more than happy to carry on as we are. Not sitting I'm mid table, I mean playing 433.

{Ed025's Note - i still think you need a top striker superred, i know you scored 8 last week but 7 of those were against a side that make accrington look like real madrid mate..

I didn't mean you play Ed1. Just show Klopp how to utilize current squad.

{Ed001's Note - damn, I was just visualising myself running out, touching the sign and banging in a late winner in the derby then....}

Being very honest and as much as I know about Klopp, He would pick Klavan ahead of Gomez at the back! Gomez might continue to to play at the RB which is why we kept him instead of loaning him out!
He might drop Migs for the time being but that’s it! Migs is still the first choice at the club while Karius is the choice in CL games.

I hope your proved wrong Harry mate and I'm sure you hope your proved wrong, but I understand what your saying.

Thanks Ed001, for your response. I don't see Solanke in your line-up are you of the same mind as Klopp, in that he is behind Sturridge in the peeking order or would you give him a run of games?

{Ed001's Note - I just fail to see the need to change the attack, we are not struggling to score goals. I would use Solanke as the first man off the bench though, ahead of Sturridge right now, who is struggling badly.}
