For the love of good, please can we not play into their hands with a high line.

I'm picking a team that will defend well and can win it back swiftly in deeper areas, much like tonight and can break with pace.

Lloris

Alderweireld
Sanchez
Vertonghen

Aurier
Dier
Sissoko
Rose

Eriksen
Dele

Kane

Now there's loads of contentious selections there, but thats the team I think is best suited to getting the result against Liverpool.

Eriksen wasn't great tonight but he's still the guy who makes us pur when we're transitioning up the pitch.

Thought about Son for Dele, but the latter should be itching. I do like Son on the counter though, tough one.

Davies I'd have ahead of Rose had it been anyone else at the moment , but he might not be over illness.

Winks has done super, and will get plenty more starts this season, but thats the team I'd go for.

No way is Rose ready to start that game.
Would go the same but with Davies at LWB (and winks for MS)

He might be good for 60.

I'm kind of assuming Davies won't be over illness, if he is I'd put him in.

Poch will have some tough selections come Sunday.

Davies got destroyed by Mane last time we played them but he looks faster and much better this season. Aurier over Trippier because we need all the pace we can get to guard their wingers. Rest picks itself.

Just feel Rose would struggle with the pace of the game on the Wembley pitch, he won't have the stamina.
I would think We'll hear more positive news on Davies in the next couple of days.

Think Sissoko is made for this game.

Him and Aurier, will rip.Liverpool on the counter. Those two a must for me. Not to mention they're combative in their defensive work.

Not just about picking best eleven on paper, I'd go with the best team to hurt Liverpool. And's that frustrate them by sitting deep and then countering.

Play into their hands if we play high, camped in their half.

Think I would have started Davies in any game but this one at Wembley. I know Mane is out but they've still got Salah. I wouldn't be too bothered if Davies did play though as he's been excellent so far this season.

Lloris
Davinson Toby Verts
Aurier-------------------------Rose
Winks--Dier
Eriksen
Son -- Kane
Vorm, KWP, Foyth, Dembele, Sissoko, Dele, Llorente

The best way to beat them is fast counters.They will over committ players.Which is why I’d play sissoko even if dembele is fit,never thought I’d say that.Rest Of team picks itself.Just choice in full backs if all fully fit.If Rose is really ready we need his pace against salah.with rose Aurier Sanchez we’d have them covered in pace.With Sanchez this is a totally different game to last 3 seasons.We can control their counters with ease.What a squad we have now.

will have to see about fitness of Davies, Dembele, Rose, Sissoko before picking the team
Suspect Alli and Son will play as it will freshen things up and give CE a break

I hope you don't mean "rest CE for this match"...

Eriksen can rest against West Ham, not a league match against Liverpool.

Sissoko and Aurier have got to play after tonights performance, both seem to have clicked straight away and compliment eachother really well.
