I'd actually play Markovic on the wing and put Sterling alongside Balo with Coutinho or Lallana behind the strikers ,the rest of the team should sort itself out.
That lineup is just asking for trouble, quite frankly its an embarrassment that Lucas and Borini are still being considered for selection at all, not confident about this match at all.
Coutinho not even on the bench? Must be injured or something. That team looks brutal tbh, after spending 100m+ in the summer most fans wouldn't have thought we'd be seeing Gerrard and Lucas in the same midfield (especially away from home ) and Borini in from the start. Sometimes teams that don't look that great on paper punch above their weight though so we'll just have to pray today is one of those occassions. Every Liverpool fan thinks the world of Brendan but he's setting himself up for a bit of stick if this doesn't come off.
How the f*ck was that a foul in the first place? It looked like we were trying to get the ball and the attacker was the one more worried about the player then the ball, then just threw himself on the ground and got a foul?
Still, absolutely f*cking awful defending. As soon as I saw that ball get to the back post, I knew there was only one place it was ending up.
