I think rudiger is out for the game

So frustrating that we continue to pick up important injuries. Seems that each time we get one player back another goes out. Hopefully Rüdiger and Emerson are back by next weekend because they make a huge difference.

I think we pretty much have to play with the back 3 again until Emerson is back because it's the only formation Alonso can play effectively in. 

Guessing we'll see a much different side here than we did against Wolves. Think Giroud, Pulisic, Barkley, and Pedro all come in. Kante will probably be on the bench and hopefully held out for the weekend.

Lampard also confirmed Emerson isn't fit for Valencia.

Perhaps, but dont think we are solid enough to start switching formations. It demands a lot of time and prep.

With Kante, Rudiger, Emerson, James still out I agree it's best to start with three at the back. But Azpilicueta is not very good WB. And Zouma is horrible. I would start Azpi at CB along with Chris and Tomori. On RWB we should try Pulisic, Willian or Pedro.

First UCL game awaits these players...

Kepa
Abraham
Barkley
Tomori
Mount

[Fulham Broadway 16,392]

Early days I know but think Lamps got all his big decisions right so far.

Selling Luiz, Tammy as first choice striker, Mount starting.

We're great to watch and with potentially over 200 million to spend next summer and some top players still to come back is exciting times.

Am I confident against Valencia? Nope. 

Our play is so inconsistent right now in games let alone between games. We can look at one point absolutely have no clue on how to progreas the ball to suddenly score bunch of goals and at the same time concede goal after goal. It feel like every game is a roulette.

Such pessimism 

Have you not noticed we're in transition it's going to be like this til Lamps can get his players in and his tactics across.

Just enjoy the ride

Poor puli looks like he is left out.

Want to see how much of rotation will be there in the team, if any. 

I would rotate in a couple of forward positions so that key players are fresh for Liverpool. We have decent options like Pulisic and Barkley to call upon in midfield. Don't think there is room for rotation in defense.
