king canary 7,577 Posted September 20, 2015 That seems extremely harsh on Wes. I can see wanting to be a bit more solid in the middle but I thought if anyone would drop out for Dorrans it would be Redmond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted September 20, 2015 Wondered if he''d drop wes for stability.Wes loses out every time against these big teams it''s really harsh.Hope he comes on and changes the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted September 20, 2015 Think its a good decision. The worst thing we could do would be to go down early in the game. Can see Wessi coming on at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted September 20, 2015 Hoolahan is exactly the player we needed playing today to strike fear into the Liverpool back four. Most assists, and POTS so far. I hope this doesn''t backfire on us. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 207 Posted September 20, 2015 Surprised he has dropped was, AN hasn''t done much wrong since he has been here tho so have to hope he has got this right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted September 20, 2015 Let''s hope that Whittaker, the team etc learned a lesson from his sending-off against Southampton!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted September 20, 2015 Seems a sensible selection - possibly a little harsh on Wes but would equally have been on Howson if he''d made way; he has more legs than Wes and adds more steel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted September 20, 2015 Not surprised, but definitely seems harsh, that Wes doesn''t start. Been in great form so far this season and proved he''s not a ''luxury player''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grefstad 0 Posted September 20, 2015 Wes is obviously dropped due to playing 2 wingers. Wes would make us even more open. As much as I like Wes, it may seem sensible. Jarvis and Redmond bodes for a counterattacking setup.Dislike Howson licence to play every game, though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,545 Posted September 20, 2015 Liverpool have a supposed weakness at left back so maybe AN hopes Redmond can profit down the wing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted September 20, 2015 Going for a more robust midfield is one thing but the worry would be leaving Jerome too isolated. Hopefully Whits and Brady will be as attacking as last week to give that support needed to the attack. Playing too conservatively won''t work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted September 20, 2015 Bit of a shock line up but AN has earned the right to pick whatever side he wants without question by this point. It wouldn''t surprise me at all if he''s identified some sort of subtle weakness in Liverpool and that''s what this line up is designed to exploit. Still confident of at least a draw today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyster 0 Posted September 20, 2015 Regardless of Hoolahans omission and fielding the same line up as against Bournemouth, which I disagree with, I''ve had a good feeling about this fixture since the last game -- we''ll win 3-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buh 0 Posted September 20, 2015 But would we be doing as well without the extra metal in midfield dorrans adds?It''s easy to say "hoolahan" and not come up with a solution.I think we''re playing alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
