      Is this one settled on the night? or could we have the luxury of a replay? ( back at their place as well no doubt with the new stand not open for business yet)

      I want to see width with wide players actually out wide and attacking their full backs, or players that will make runs behind the opposition defence, oh... and a proper DM.

      Clyne   Matip  Lovren  Moreno
               Grujic   Stewart
                   Coutinho
      Markovic    Origi       Ojo/Ings

      I like Can, but I don't know how to fit him in unless he's playing along side a DM/DLPM. I think Stewart shifts the ball quicker, defense minded and looks more natural in the #6 role.

      Grujic to play. Grujic to score.

      We usually make a meal of playing bottom of League Two sides at home at this stage of the competition so a team that has had a great last season to earn automatic promotion to the Championship, and playing them away, may be even trickier.

      No slip ups tomorrow.  Origi - get back in the mood.

      The last thing I want right now is to hear of some part time car mechanic rising above Lovren at the far post to score the winner in the 87th minute..

      Deffo going to happen now.  Who's the shortest player in their team? Might be worth a few quid.

      There's a lot of players who Jürgen could/should pick for this one, for many different reasons.

      Take the forwards: Does he give Sturridge game time to get sharper and more match fit?  Does he give Origi the gig to get him on the boil (as he seems to favour him now)?  Does he pick Ings to keep him happy and unleash his hard-working efforts on the Championship side?  Does he persist with Firmino as the 'false 9' (utter bollocks).  Ejaria - a real talent in need of a decent chance in the 1st team?  Ojo - quick and sharp - just the qualities we need for this one?  Does he put Balotelli in the shop window? (OK, tongue firmly in cheek, there).

      I hope he gives Ings a go, but I'd also love to see Ejaria / Ojo in the mix.  Not to mention Origi...  God, who'd be a manager?

      You make some valid points there Ray, it's almost as though Jürgen has to much choice, personally I'd like to see Danny Ings given a go, I think he could be a real Klopp type player, but he doesn't seem mega keen on him, we will have to wait and see what team he picks, I just want to see 100% passion from whoever is lucky enough to pull on the shirt and remember who they're playing for.

      Agree about the talent of Ejaria and Ojo, but I believe both are out injured for this one (for sure Ojo is).

      Actually just looked at the photos on the LFC site and it looks like Ejaria is back in training with the first team so....maybe. About halfway through that set of pics, who is the guy running behind Danny Ings as they slalom through the agility sticks? Is that Alberto

      We need to beat them comfortable so as the players gain some confidence for Spurs. We need to win this so to try and lift a trophy this year.

      ECHO wondering if Joe Maguire in the team tonight because of an emoji he tweeted. He just played for the U23s last night...went 90 if I recall.

      If we rock up there tonight with a bunch of kids, fringe and misfits we will go out with our tails between our legs.

      Decent championship team these days Burton. Even our first team is not assured a nice time of it this evening. Just got to get through these ties, and with no Europe this should be one of our top priorities this season.

      The only way to win these early round games against the lower division teams, especially away from home is to be as physical as possible, muscle them off the ball and win within the 90 minutes.
      Sadly, full blooded tackles and authority in midfield seems to be lacking from our team at the moment and has been for a while.

      The last thing I want right now is to hear of some part time car mechanic rising above Lovren at the far post to score the winner in the 87th minute..

      We need to be putting this game to bed by half time ... end of.





      Yeah much worse than a part time builder scoring against us   :angel:
