This is the exact lineup I would go with as well, besides swapping Son for Lucas. I know - I would not have said so even once this season, but looking at the last 2 weeks or so, with Son being under the radar a bit and Moura obviously producing one of the best performances in CL history I think he must start. I was quite surprised when I looked at his goals this season - often scores in the big games. Scored against United, PSV, Barcelona, Liverpool and obviously Ajax. You notice quite quickly if he's having an off day, so if he does, change him at 55' for Son.
Davies playing on the right against Mane, right. Are you drunk?I've lost faith in Trippier and I feel that Ben would be a safer bet than Aurier or foyth
You're probably right. Depends on Kane's and Winks' fitness and game readiness at the time. Think it may be Son on the bench. And I think that's largely due to what Moura gives us in terms of defensive qualities and physicality against the various types of threats that Liverpool have. He's a little fucker, but he's relentless with his running and quicker than Son to react defensively to attacking threats, which we will need time and again with Liverpool.You have to pick the best team capable of winning this game, not your 11 best players.
One of Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Son and Moura will need to be on the bench. Otherwise, the side is far too open.
Liverpool play 4-3-3 with the full backs giving them width, the 3 in the middle putting in a shift to cover the ground to allow their forward 3 to play with freedom. We can pretty much guess their starting XI and how they'll approach the game. The decision for Poch is does he try and match them, or do we exert a game plan of our own.
If we opt to match and go with 3 up top (e.g. Son-Kane-Moura) then we'll need a more workmanlike midfield meaning both Alli and Eriksen may be a luxury. At least one may need to give way. If we go for the 4-2-3-1 we played against them in the league this season, then one of Moura or Son may not start and we'll need a passer next to Sissoko, so a fit Winks would be ideal.
