‘If you want to beat City’: Paul Merson tells Liverpool to play £16m man with just two PL starts tomorrow.

“If you want to defeat City tomorrow, Liverpool must play a £16 million player with only two PL starts,” says Paul Merson.Whoever Paul Merson chooses to start in the Liverpool midfield against Manchester City tomorrow has been disclosed.

 

Due to a few untimely injuries, the Reds have had some selection constraints in the middle of the park, where options are limited. However, since athletes resumed training yesterday after the international break, it would appear that these issues have been resolved.This should leave Jurgen Klopp with a nearly complete squad to choose from at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Paul Merson, who participated in the entire 90 minutes against Brentford in the previous outing, has implored the manager to revert to Wataru Endo.

 

“Liverpool are experiencing some difficulty with their selection,” the former England midfielder stated to Sportskeeda. “It is likely that Joe Gomez will replace Kostas Tsimikas at left back. Being a defender by nature, he is willing to nestle in.

 

“You must have the capability to defend against City.” “Within the midfield, I would most likely start Alexis Mac Allister at ‘number 8’ and utilize Wataru Endo.”His possession of the ball is precisely what you want to avoid doing against Manchester City. “In order to defeat City, you must take advantage of the additional pass that passes through the lines.”

 

Liverpool is anxious to begin Endo.

Undoubtedly, the Endo we see today is a far superior version of the Endo who unexpectedly debuted at Anfield in August.

 

Merson is not, however, accompanied by a significant number of Liverpool supporters.

Undoubtedly, everyone desires to see Mac Allister flourish in his more natural No. 8 position. Additionally, there is concern that the Argentine may be overwhelmed at No.6 against the more formidable opponents in the Premier League.

 

In numerous respects, a visit to the Etihad serves as a diagnostic test for this. Mac Allister can effectively anchor the midfield against virtually any team in the world if he can survive a match against Pep Guardiola’s squad unscathed.

A day that the 24-year-old has just returned from an international sojourn could prove challenging if City are at it, as they typically are.Despite this, it is unclear how Klopp intends to proceed with Endo.

 

Notwithstanding certain deficiencies, the manager seems to be exhibiting confidence in Mac Allister. Given that Endo made his Premier League debut for the Brentford match, it is improbable that Jurgen will substitute him in for this match.

 

Fatigue from the international break will likely be the deciding factor in this contest. Whatever Liverpool ends up with at the Etihad Stadium is in for a serious haul. We shall support whoever Jurgen nominates.
