Pre Match: Derby County V Liverpool FC Tuesday 20th Sept: 7.45pm

What's happening with Emre?

What's happening with Emre?

He's back in training.

I know there's commentary on 5 Live of the game.

Jürgen has said he's putting out a strong side 

Thanks, but it is blacked out over here.

I think the better translation of Jürgen's "strong side" remarks is that he feels any XI out of this squad should be considered a strong side. We don't have to wait much longer, thankfully.

Reminds me of following the Ashes ball by ball on Ceefax in the 80s when we played them in Australia.

And no I don't expect you to understand Rob   

ON all of my trips to UK, for the first couple of days I would wake up at about midnight, just wide awake. My two viewing choices on some of these trips were the Ashes from Australia (over the holidays) or porn. My Presbyterianism won out and I went with the cricket, so actually I DO understand what you mean, my dear. :-)

Not saying I understand cricket,mind. Every time I think I have the rules down, something happens and I am left wondering why....

Sorry Robby, I didn't realise you were in the USA 

Yep, I'd agree with you on that one, we have a superb first team with lots of players knocking on Jürgen's door

Good to hear you've got some morals mate but cricket is much easier to follow than American footy.  Not that it stopped me being a Red Skins fan in the early days it was on tv over here.  Never hear of them these days.

Will give that a try rather than a shitty stream. 5 Live with Alan Green - back to the good old days of Olympiakos and battering Man Utd 4-1 amongst others! There's also been some bad ones mind - never forget the incredulity in Alan Green's voice when Traore drag backed that ball over our own goal line in the FA Cup Zidane style. Hopefully they'll be none of that tomorrow night!

How far away is Karius from playing for us? Did Klopp mention something?

Loris Karius to make Liverpool debut against Derby County, confirms Klopp
http://www.thisisanfield.com/2016/09/loris-karius-make-liverpool-debut-derby-county-confirms-klopp/

Team for tomorrow will likely be as follows:

               Karius
Randall Lucas Klavan Moreno
        Grujic Can Hendo
        Ings Origi Firmino

Team for tomorrow will likely be as follows:

               Karius
Randall Lucas Klavan Moreno
        Grujic Can Hendo
        Ings Origi Firmino

I can dig it.

Is this the first time we've played Derby since they were last in the league in 07/08?

Team for tomorrow will likely be as follows:

               Karius
Randall Lucas Klavan Moreno
        Grujic Can Hendo
        Ings Origi Firmino

He wont make that many changes

Karius , Moreno and Grujic yes
Klavan / Can not match ready
Will be Origi or Ings, not both

I really don't see the point in fielding a weakened team for unless it's to give some fringe first teamers a game i.e Grujic, Origi, Ings and obviously Karius is going to get the nod.

We don't have an european competition to worry about so we should be selecting our strongest team in the cups. You'd expect we could rest a few against Derby and still control the game but there's no need to make 8 or 9 changes.

I predict a starting line up of:

              Karius
Clyne     Matip    Lovren      Moreno
      Henderson    Grujic
               Coutinho
Mane        Firmino       Origi

I suspect Lallana may get a rest in this one, possibly putting Coutinho back in as a CAM. It's a toss up between Sturridge and Firmino to get the nod up front for me and give Origi a start.

I don't think Ings will start, I guess he will come off the bench though.

I wondered about Can too, but it looks from here like he will be in the team: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/klopp-can-fit-ready-make-11909109

I guess the center-back argument is providing more time for Matip-Lovren partnership vs. needed match time for Klavan and Lucas. I don't think either are a weak, center-back pairing.

Looking forward to this tonight, all ready for the off and quite excited for my first away game this season, just want to see a performance of passion and high pressing, don't think Jürgen will have it any other way.

Enjoy the game everyone, as long as we're in that hat for the next round 

Go Go REDS !!!

I like that Midfield very very much. Hendo and Grujic more as the #8's?

So he did both - got some players in who haven't been on for a bit, and put out a strong lineup.

In a perfect world I suspect the subs he'd like to bring on are Can, Ejaria and Ings. I think he was going to put Ings on at Burton Albion until Can got hurt and he needed to sub in Stewart.

Let's score a few goals tonight, keep alive hopes for this trophy, and add some match fitness for the squad. Enjoy the game everyone.

sh*t ...have to be on a stream today ,only 4 sat channels   showing the game and not one is in my range

just continue with this form lads
