Play Matip and Gomez at centre back. Van Dijk can then play as a DM/pivot/assist/goal weapon while man marking Messi out of existence.
That's the worst idea in the history of football tactics.Guvernator said:
Lol I'd have to agree, VvD is your defensive general, taking him out of that role to mark Messi would be suicide. Gomez might be a good shout, you need a terrier, someone whose going to hound and harass him all game.
I wasn't being serious, because it upsets the balance. But VvD would do a better job than Gomez for sure, you don't need a terrier when there's already a bulldog sat on your man.BT Sport on youtube have the highlights of the Citeh game this morning - so very entertaining seeing RaHEEEEEM celebrating the "winning" goal before being shot down like the little worm he is.
Not that I'm bitter.
Fair play to Poch last night - at the final whistle I think he outdid Klopp in his roaring celebrations...

t ref and the final whistle last night are the two times where I've seen him get that emotional, probably been hanging around with Klopp too much.

Fabinho did a pretty good job controlling Jorginho at the weekend.
The thing with Messi is that he is simply the best at what he does.So you can have an amazing game against him and he'll still score two.
I believe we can beat them. I also believe they can beat us.

Don't think there is any point anyone person trying to outplay Messi. Cut off the supply, so simple isn't it
Which is what Fab did for the most part when Hazzard was through the middle. More difficult when he moved to the left. If Messi plays his usual wide right, it’s going to put a lot of responsibility on Robertson and whoever plays left side of midfield for us.
