[Albion] Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Swansman]

Looks like 5-5-0 to me.

When is Lamptey going to be ready to start a game?

Couple of weeks maybe?

Graham Potter after the City game: "Lamptey played more than anticipated", with him playing 33 minutes. Not entirely sure why people interpreted this as "he'll be ready to start next week" rather than "we're taking it slow with him".

 

[Weststander]

Interesting, an out-and-out 5 man midfield, setting out not to concede.

Potter not naively doing a Solskjaer.

I'm fascinated to see how we line up. Club website has us as 4-5-1 with the 1 being Trossard. No way he's playing as a lone striker.

 

[Mackenzie]

Love the look of that. I think Mwepu could be more of a goal threat than Maupay at the moment so I don’t mind the extra midfielder. Hopefully Lamptey can come on later and have a go at them. Yep nice one Graham.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Very interesting line up. Very strong midfield on paper, but Liverpool might have other ideas of course.

No strikers eh? Who needs them at Anfield?

Potter is presumably thinking Maupay is a luxury we can't afford in this one.

...or Potter has a plan that could take Klopp by surprise.

I think he might

Either way think we’ll be watching from behind the sofa

I'll take a 4/5 nil loss. I really think if we end up conceding 8/9, which is very possible, it could seriously harm our confidence. Keep it tight, no more than 5 please lads - no injuries or suspensions.

 

[lawros left foot]

No one thinking Solly up front?

That’s where he finished against City,?and he wasn’t too bad.

Liverpool never scored more than 7 goals in a PL game so while 8 or 9 might be "very possible" it is also very unlikely.

I think you've answered your own question there.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Interesting lineup, not sure I recall Potter ever playing a 4-5-1, if that's what it actually is.

Free hit today, anything below a 4-0 defeat is decent going up there.

Like this team. Pretty much makes Konate redundant for them too although he would help them if we get a corner. Just hope we defend well and don't concede early! Also glad we haven't got the immobile midfield of Gross, Lallana and Moder starting in the middle. Feel we'd have 2 more points from Norwich if we'd had something different then.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Mwepu and Moder ad Biss starting. Klopp didn't plan for that (if he bothered worrying about our team at all)

 

[Bodian]

Yes - they could have scored 9+ last week if they'd bothered to move out of first gear in the second-half. If the appetite to do so wasn't there then, it's not likely to be today either.

Anyway, we're going to win, so the amount of goals Liverpool 'could' end up with is all a bit hypothetical..

 

[Mackenzie]

I think it’s great that GP hasn’t played this safe and gone for a standard team, he’s changed shape and personnel and tried something a bit different. We’ll probably lose, we probably would no matter who he chose, but at least he’s given Liverpool and Klopp a bit of a surprise.

Either Dick head is starting these threads even earlier than normal or Potters team selection is causing more post pre-KO


So much speculation and drama...... let's hope the drama will all be in klopps Y-fronts come full time.


Come on the Albion.

 

[The Fits]

Really like the look of this lineup.
Mwepu has played well if late and we look much pacier with he, Moder and Biss all playing. 3-2 to the good guys.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Same old same old Pottering
