Liverpool don’t have a team.
And they don’t have a striker.
Origi is their best but he’s injured.
I like Klopp a lot. But he hasn’t had a pre-season and doesn’t have any of his own players.
Benteke is a lump, Lallana a nearly man, a flicky continuity man who never scores.
But since I love Liverpool, I’ve watched them closely four times recently.
Emre Can is a lovely athletic player with two good feet and a big heart.
He could play in any team. But he’s wasted in this one.
Firmino was pitiful in the last two games I saw. Appalling.
Liverpool don’t have a coherent style or a strong defence.
A team that has only won two of their last five games in the league will not beat their table-topping visitors at Anfield. Can’t see them getting a draw either.
So I expect passing & possession to beat pressing & dispossession 2-0 at Anfield tonight.
Who will score?
Maybe Koscielny and Ozil.
