Alfredo Morelos has been dropped to face County today as Ianis Hagi and Ryan Kent start alongside Fashion Sakala to make up a very pacy front line designed to cause havoc in the opposition defence.
Hagi’s excellent cameo on Thursday has earned him the nod, alongside Kent’s, and Sakala’s fine afternoon in Motherwell last week sees him as main striker, with the Colombian only among the subs, in a move likely to be approved by many fans.
In further shock news, Steven Gerrard has rung massive midfield changes, with John Lundstram and Juninho Bacuna starting ahead of Davis and Kamara,, with the NI international dropped entirely.
Defence also sees Borna Barisic dumped out of the squad totally and Bassey taking up his place at LB.
So the full team sees droppings of Morelos, Davis, Kamara, Barisic, four men who just aren’t delivering this season, while Bacuna, Lundstram, Hagi, Sakala and Kent come in.
We’re a bit surprised Arfield is only benched, but it’s a lot of sweeping changes.
Let’s see how it fares.
