How to best play against them is the conundrum.

Attack them and they can tear you apart on the break
Sit back and they can pick your defense and get through

Pep used to beat Klopp's press with a long ball to Ledanowski (sp) who used to win the ball and lay it off. I wouldn't mind the accusations of being Hoof merchants if we did this with Lukaku. If that big galoot at CB is back though I'm not sure how many he'd win.

Difference is Dortmund had a good set of defenders, Liverpool most certainly don't.
 
If im perfectly honest I think only way we can beat them is to basically bite their ugly heads off. We need that attitude we showed to Arsenal. Sheer will power. Goodison roar gave tho extra rush for our players.

We need to be rough and leave everything in the pitch.

Thats the winning formula.

When Williams signed I said immediately that he's kind of a player we've been missing in the derbies

Exactly this. Too many times they come and show more fight than us which is inexcusable. Thank god that little imp Coutinho is hurt though. He always bloody scores against us.

Still mad at Jags for that second booking. Funes is exactly that type to get carried away and either fly out of position to try and win the ball or do what he did at the dump last season....
 
How to beat them?

fight them.


Balls to tactics here, fight for every ball, hard tackles on their fancy attackers, not let them rest on the ball in the middle, push their false striker out the box or isolate them, just make it really difficult for them to pass the ball about effortlessly. the minute a team stands up to them and kicks back at them they will go into hiding, because they may have a good attack but that is it, their midfield would be susceptible to gueye nipping in there.

90 minutes of fighting and we will beat them. Tuesday proved it.
 

All I expect is 100% commitment and passion from the first whistle.

They're a good side, and if we stand off them they'll pick their way through, equally we can't hold too high a line to allow them to get in behind on the counter.

If we get in their faces I can see them reacting as Arsenal did, as they're not a side full of battlers.

It could be an ugly encounter and in fact I hope it is, as that will be our best chance of success against these beauts.

Arsenal have more steel about them in the centre of the park though mate, Jesus, Henderson and Can are there hard men lol
