Nothing unsurprising – I would have dropped Gini myself as he was POOR on Saturday. Solanke should have come on instead of Origi too.
I would have considered Milner for Gini or even drop Firmino deeper (like we played Coutinho) and stuck Solanke up top to bring some creativity. Hendo and Can to sit deep with Firmino in front as the ‘link’ man to the front 3.
On Saturday, none of the midfielders would drop deep to help out defence or track their runners. It seemed no one was assigned to play a ‘holding’ role or who was expected to track back…
Come on you REDS!!! YNWA
