In an ideal world the Hungarian won’t have to go right-back to shoehorn in some uber-attacking change of system to rescue the game.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai; Ekitike, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.Ian DoyleLiverpool finally turned up in Germany late on Tuesday evening for their latest Champions League clash.But the Reds are going to have to be at it from the off against Eintracht Frankfurt in what is likely to be a lively old atmosphere.What, then, is Liverpool boss Arne Slot to do?Having lost four in a row, it's time to start rewarding players for their form. In comes Curtis Jones on the left of the double pivot alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, while Florian Wirtz is the number 10.And up top, Jeremie Frimpong is on the right and Cody Gakpo the left, with Hugo Ekitike leading the line against his former club.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Jones; Frimpong, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.Theo SquiresArne Slot will have to make at least one change against Eintracht Frankfurt with Ryan Gravenberch ruled out.

And I’m benching Mohamed Salah too as his poor form continues.Let’s see what Federico Chiesa can do from the start instead after another lively showing off the bench against Manchester United.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai; Chiesa, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.Mark JonesDrastic times calling for drastic measures? It's maybe not quite that bad just yet, so let's go for worrying times calling for... extreme ones?Dropping Mo Salah can't really be called that either given he was left out of the XI for the previous Champions League away game, and there is a world where even a fit and firing Salah would start on the bench for this one given the tight turnaround to Saturday's trip to Brentford.I feel like the whole focal point of the attack needs to change, though, and so as well as dropping Salah I'd rest Cody Gakpo and start Hugo Ekitike off the left against his old club, with Alexander Isak central.

Let's see what havoc they can cause together after we briefly saw it against Manchester United.To balance that out I'd have Jeremie Frimpong stationed high and wide and hugging the touchline on the right, and Florian Wirtz as the No.10 drifting to the left.There'll be no Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will still be feeling the after-effects of Sunday, so I'd pick Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai in midfield.Back four and goalkeeper all the same bar Andy Robertson for Milos Kerkez. It just has to happen now, surely.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai; Frimpong, Wirtz, Ekitike; Isak.Watch Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool on TNT SportsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
