      Pre-Match: Rubin Kazan v Liverpool Europa League Thurs 5th Nov 18:00KO
      Nov 01, 2015 10:04:02 am
      After our great win against Chelsea, we travel to Russia hoping to secure our first win in the Europa League this season, after 3 successive 1-1 draws.

      Does Klopp rotate or stick with our strongest side?

      Next up in the league is Cystal Palace just 3 days after.

      I'd go with:

      Mignolet

      Randall
      Skrtel
      Lovren
      Moreno

      Lucas
      Allen

      Milner (c)
      Firmino
      Lallana

      Benteke

      Subs: Bogdan; Clyne, Sakho; Emre Can; Coutinho, Ibe; Origi.

      That should be enough to get a result against these, bring Origi on for Benteke for the last 20.

      0-2 to us!

      Bit early for this, still enjoying the post-chav bashing.

      But as you started the Pre-Chelsea thread, fill your boots Olly.

      I guess this should be a win, confidence is high, so why not.

      It's a game we could do with winning really, and as such I'd put a decent team out. My feeling is that another win (making it three on the bounce) would be worth it in terms of fatigue purely for the further uplift in confidence it will give the whole club.

      Exactly that back-5 but Tex cant play unfortunately. Would pair Milner with Allen in the middle, and play Ibe-Brannagan-Firmino behind Origi

      players are never tired when they win a game so for me I would be looking for a very strong team we need to win this and continue the upward trend.

      I'd prefer giving the two SBs a break so they can be fit against palace. In the absence of other decent SB, I'll go with a 3-5-2 formation of:
                     Bodgan
             Can Skrtel Lovren
                  Allen Milner
      Ibe       Firmino     Brannagan
                Origi Sinclair

      Firmino to be pulled out after 45 min (fatigue mgt strictly for that rough diamond)

      Formation changes if Enrique is available, willing and capable (what happened to that lad..?)

      We need someone on that left wing. So may be we can pair Chirivella with Allen in the middle, play Ibe on the left, Milner on the right and Cameron behind Origi.

      Bogdan
      Randall-Skrtel-Lovren-Moreno
      Allen-Chirivella
      Milner-Brannagan-Ibe
      Origi

      Subs- Migs, Sakho, Clyne, Can, Lallana, Firmino, Benteke

      5 days between games is a luxury brilliant stuff. ;D

      Changes will happen with the wknd EPL game in mind, shame tex cant play, Origi will probably come back in for sure.

      Lovren will start, I would like Bogdan to start but I doubt that, Mings has not really done much wrong to warrant being dropped for Europa games.

      I wonder if the glass man will be ready for this as we were told weeks ago it was just a little knock to the knee.

      There again a little knock to the knee is usually a couple of games for most players but probably a couple of months for Sturridge   :)

      I don't want anyone getting injured either mate but we have to progress out of the group stages and we are going to need to score to do that.

      Maybe give him another run out after 60 minutes if the situation warrants it.

      Tad early for me too, however, just for the hell of it, I'd go........

                                  Bogdan
                 Clyne  Skrtle Sakho  Moreno
                                   Lucas
                     Milner  Coutinho  Emre
                          Firmino
                                      Benteke

              Bench; Mignolet, Lovren, Randall, Allen, Chirivella, Lallana, Sinclair

      If we want to progress we need a win, play closest to a full strength side as possible, I'm not sure yet another draw will be good enough come the end of the group stage,

      We need to stop fannying around ( Brendan esque) and make our intentions known, I want us to have a full on attack in this tourney, fed up F***ing about pretending we want to go far yet put out a piss poor weak side,

      So what we have to play Thursday then Sunday, it's not ideal granted but we just need to get on with it, it's time the name Liverpool FC put fear back into Europe, but we won't do that going in half- arsed,

      1-2 Redmen

      We're sat 2nd in the group and we haven't lost a game..
      Get a result on Thursday and we have a home game against the bottom side Bordeaux to look forward to..

      Gotta keep the momentum and confidence high going in to this and there's no reason why we can't get the 3 points which would completely change the group standing.

      Jürgen will have a plan for this.. and I have full trust in him..

      We have to progress in this competition and to do that we need to put out a strong team. There is no need to get the players fired up as Jürgen Klopp has done that already as we saw in the Chelsea match. We cannot afford to treat this match lightly and it is important that we win. Go the REDS .

      I m not sure what importance we are putting on this competition but for me its good chance to get into the CL if we win it and we do have a good enough squad to win it. People will be saying that top 4 will be the bench mark for us but I think that's pretty unrealistic considering the start we've had TBH. Klopp is a good manager but he's not a miracle worker and the rest of this season should be getting the squad into his philosophy ready for next season. Don't get me wrong if things go our way and we do get top 4 I'd take it but I'm not banking on it. So I'd like to see a strong side in this one but use the squad of course. If we can get through this group by using the squad then the next phase has to be taken seriously.

      I don't want to call this one a "must win," but a win here does ease a hell of a lot of the pressure of getting out of the group. Would be nice to get 3 points here and then wrap of qualification at Anfield against Bordeaux.

      Economic circumstances, the owner of Anzhi pulled the plug so they had to sell all their best players.

      I am sure Klopp will play a strong enough team to play away
      Can't see him resting many of the players who dumped the chavs
      maybe benteke ,coutinho, lucas, and clyne will be rested ..that's my opinion

      its not a must win game but a win now will probably give us a chance to maybe rest more players when playing at home
      the sooner we qualify the better for our squad rotation,, look at city they  qualified  yesterday , so if they want they can rest almost all the first teamers for the next 2 games in Europe , and that will help them a lot , in regards injuries and the league

      It's a game we could do with winning really, and as such I'd put a decent team out. My feeling is that another win (making it three on the bounce) would be worth it in terms of fatigue purely for the further uplift in confidence it will give the whole club.

      Agreed Mick... After all, we often saw the 'cry' that we weren't taking this competition seriously enough (in earlier games) when a "weakened" team was selected.

      I reckon we should go flat out to win the game, the group and the trophy. It's an shorter route (to what so many now think of as the holy grail - CL football) than the league.  ;)

      There will be changes, but not many, Lovren will defo play, he needs games & Sahko is injury prone so could be rested, maybe the young LB again, cant remember his name of top of my head.

      Joe Allen & Origi maybe starts.

      Tad early for me too, however, just for the hell of it, I'd go........

                                  Bogdan
                 Clyne  Skrtle Sakho  Moreno
                                   Lucas
                     Milner  Coutinho  Emre
                          Firmino
                                      Benteke

              Bench; Mignolet, Lovren, Randall, Allen, Chirivella, Lallana, Sinclair

      We need to stop fannying around ( Brendan esque) and make our intentions known, I want us to have a full on attack in this tourney, fed up f**king about pretending we want to go far yet put out a piss poor weak side,


      Good team Billy.

      Isn't the Rubin captain still suspended ?
      It'll help if he is, he was proving to be a bit of a handful before he got sent off.
      This won't be easy, but we will be helped by the players buying into Klopps work rate ethics.
      Think we will come away with at least a draw, and hopefully a win. Klopp does seem to favour a strong side rather than the back up players.
      As carra said, once we've qualified, then we should be thinking of maybe resting a few.
      Looking forward to this one, expecting more progress.

      I think this could very well be a tough game, and I kind of hope it is because that will tell us a lot more about progression, but perhaps more importantly, how the team are responding mentally to Klopp.
      I suppose you could even say that the team/squad needs adversity and to be tested.

      It'll be very interesting to see how we approach the game as well.

      Critics of Klopp argue that his coaching is one dimensional and has too much focus on energy and pressing, but personally I disagree because he's shown tactical flexibility and awareness in just a short time with us.

      Sorry to pick just that line from your post mate but I think it'll be an easy win. 

      The players, were still getting to grips with Brendan leaving, a new manager arriving and the change in how we were being asked to play.  Now we've got some of our injured players back and our patterns of play have improved massively since those early days, we should be able to get the required 3 points.

      I'm going by history as much as anything, and Russia is never an easy place to go.
      Of course the traveling is a lot better now than it used to be, but we saw at our place that they're not mugs, and with the home crowd, they could very well make it tough for us.

      Having said that, I do expect us to win, just not for it to be easy.

      The progression in attitude and mentality is what I'm hoping to see, but it's not really that big a deal, more of how I gauge the team building process, and in that respect, Klopp has done really well.

      Fed up being in it just to play fringe players Skip, another factor of a diluted Liverpool side, Shanks, Bob, Joe and Bugsy would rip into you if that attitude was employed back in the day,
      Is it any wonder no one takes us serious in Europe,

      I want my club back on the top not only domestically but in Europe too, I want teams shitting bricks at the very thought of facing us in Europe, not since Rafa have we looked anywhere near the prestige we once held for years, our Royalty status no longer applies,

      So it's refreshing to see Jürgen taking a a strong squad over to face Ruban, we're going there for the win and that exactly the attitude employed by our forefathers in Europe, don't see many arguing about their successes thru the decades, do you ?

      A win here means we can qualify for the next round in our 5th game.  Lose and it's out of our hands.

      Get out of our group and you'd like to think Anfield could do something in each home leg to get us close to a final.

      We can easily put out a full strength team here and the weekend v Palace as they will have the international break to recover especially so for Migs, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Firmino, Coutinho and origi.
      Also This early in the season should not be too much of stretch for the first teamers to play in such a short time.

      Great to see us take this seriously, think we'll win this game.

      I know the result against Chelsea has given a lot of hope for top 4 but it still remains a difficult task. This is a trophy we can definitely compete for and there's  no point in getting to the end of the year and then thinking what if. The right choice is to play a team we believe can win the game.

      Jürgen spot on again, but as we saw when they went down to 10 men they're no mugs when it comes to defensive organisation and shape. We can't surrender a lead to them and expect to come back easily, patience will be key. Give them nothing and be clinical, if we get the first early enough then we might be able to take advantage when they push out.

      Looking forward to this game, it's so nice to go into the games with such optimism and hope, loving every second of this.

      Lovren starts with Sahko Allen in for Lucas, and Ibe starts.

      Very strong team. Ibe is the only youngster.

      Big Ben & Firmino start again.
