Joe Gomez has been the shining light in our defence. Expect big things from him this season.
Moreno has improved but it is quite clear he ain't going to be good enough as our 1st choice LB. Robertson now needs to be given a run.
We have always had success with Scottish players, Klopp let Robertson stretch his legs.
{Ed025's Note - i dont see why not max, he cant be any worse than anyone else who,s been given a chance mate..

Exactly ed025. That was ed01's theory and I totally agree. I think he may be a little shakey in his first couple of games but I think he would become solid. Hanson was wobbly in first start but became one of the best cbs in the world.
I'd be tempted to play Milner at right back but we need some stability so keep the RB that's played the last few matches. TAA is someone who will improve quickly with games. So this would be my defence and we should stick with it.
Karius
TAA GOMES lovren Robertson
Can Hendo wijnaldum
Mane firminio coutinio.
I know people really want to see cout's in a deeper role but salah is not well and pc will play in his place. I want my best striker near the goal, not battling in midfield and getting a knock maybe.
{Ed025's Note - my back 4 would be...milner, gomes, matip, robertson... superred, i know matip was awful at city but i think there is a decent player in there somewhere mate..
12 Sep 2017 21:26:28
I like that lineup, Superred BUT I would bench Wiji for Cou in midfield.
12 Sep 2017 23:36:49
Surely AOC has to take Salah's place with Couts coming in for Can or Wiji? I'd bench Can myself but it's a close call between the two. As for the back 4 Robertson has to come in. I'd have Matip and Lovren for the first CL game for their experience and Gomez at right back he did well there against Arsenal.
12 Sep 2017 23:43:30
I agree with ed25 on Matip, as bad as he can be he is still better than Lovren and Klavan. Just shows how bad our main cbs actually are ;__;
13 Sep 2017 01:55:13
Matip needs to be benched. Lack of effort is the worst a player can do on the pitch and Matip is guilty of that. At least Lovren tries so I'd go with Gomez and Lovren in the next BPL game. Against Sevilla, I would stick with Matip and Lovren.
And Robertson and Gomez should be our full backs in the high profile games coz they are better defensively. TAA against lower half opposition who like to park the bus.
13 Sep 2017 02:31:13
Yeah I fancy Milner for RB To be honest. We need someone to organise that lot. Im torn on lovren or matip. But I think gomes should get his chance now. Maybe wait for Burnley instead of ucl game. Matip is better on the ball but lovren gets stuck in more. Robbo has got to get his shot at lb though. I don't like the idea of moreno playing against seville again. Last time he handed them the trophy all wrapped up in red and white.
13 Sep 2017 02:37:32
Yeah good idea ings. Can't wait to see AOC start a game. Coutinio is better in a four man midfield though and we usually line up with three. That's my only concern. Pc scored a lot of really important goals from that left wing, out of nothing and the ball's in the net! I like him working further up the field, it seems an unpopular choice but it's my opinion, that's all.
