Liverpool v Bournemouth League Cup 4th Round Weds 28/10 7:45ko

After 3 successive draws will Klopp stay with a full strength side or choose to rotate?

I'm torn between that but I can see this side starting:

* Milner is suspended after his booking vs Southampton

Mignolet

Clyne
Skrtel
Sakho
Moreno

Allen
Lucas (c)
Emre Can

Firmino
Ibe

Benteke

Subs: Bogdan; Randall, Toure; Brannagan; Coutinho, Teixeira; Origi.

Doubt Sturridge will be fit enough to make the squad.

Let's go lads, 3-0 to us!

It's really important to win this one, hopefully convincingly,  to build momentum before we get Maureen sacked!

I saw enough signs yesterday to suggest we will.

I want Bogdan to start he deserves it after his last round heroics. But maybe klopp has different ideas.

I think there will be a few changes, we have had too many games in quick succession not to make changes for a league cup game.

1 young padawan to come in, Joe allen to start for milner, kolo to start rest Sahko.

Benteke & Firmino to play at least 60 mins.


??

---------- Bogdan ----------

- Clyne - Kolo - Lovren - Enrique -

-------- Allen - Can ----------------

- Ibe -- Texeria - Firmino --

------- Benteke --------------

I think the regulars should be given a rest for this one. They need a break to recharge their batteries and get back to the full throttle football that we saw in the first 30 mins at Spurs.

Hope to see Benteke, at least start against Bournemouth on Wednesday. btw who is our penalty taker, anyone have a clue ?

More importantly, who the F**k is our free kick specialist?

Strongest team bitte.  Could be a slog in the PL this season, need to stay alive in Cups as long as possible. Would be disappointed if we play a 'weakened' team.

I know what you are saying but some need rested mate, Klopp will be worried about more injuries. Bonus though Benteke & Firmino need a start this is ideal for them to get more minutes.

Be interesting to see if Bournemouth change things, they have had a slide down the table.

Fair enough, if he thinks a guy needs a rest. But I would treat this just like a PL game ie. not save guys for the PL. Not sure I've ever said that before, as think the PL should always take priority over anything else. But with new manager coming in, and all the rest of it, would be open-minded as to the quickest route to better performances on the pitch.

                          Bogdan
        Randall  Skrtel   Sakho  Moreno
                  Can     Allen  Teixieira
             Lallana               Ibe
                          Benteke

Mignolet; Clyne, Toure; Lucas, Teixiera; Origi, Sinclair

Don't know mate.. Just don't let Can take one..

More importantly, who the f**k is our free kick specialist?

Probably Milner for PK. If Milner is out I would imagine it's Benteke. FKs are probably Coutinho and Milner

Jimmy Case !!

Why do we always seem to be getting these in cup games?! about 3 or 4 seasons running now. Not that I'm complaining mind, seeing as we beat them and I expect the same this time.

It's like when we used to get Chelsea in the Champions League nearly every year.

           Mignolet
Clyne Skrtel Sahko Moreno
       Allen Can
Ibe     Firmino    Tex
        Benteke

With that lil bit of creativity behind big ben we should be able to put at least 3 pass them... Also ensures Milner, Lucas, Coutinho & Lallana are fit against Chelsea.

I'd like to see Phillippe and Firmino  both starting behind Benteke
 The rest I leave to Klopp....

joking apart yes I would like to see them both starting , 
Bournemouth got a  beating last weekend and they will try to bounce back from that, so we have to be a bit more careful with these

Would be preferable to keep same team totally agree, but they have been playing every 3 days, think it will get changed a bit, maybe not as much as I predict though, maybe just 3 or 4 max.

coutinho. Even though hes has not scored yet. think hendo might be on them when fit.

Could also gove Big Ben a go, or Firmino. Im sure Milner has scored FK's bfre too. He is probably on Penners.

Wouldnt mind seeing Chrivella and Texeira given a start

Klopp: "I don't know how many changes we will make [against Bournemouth], but for sure one or two young players.

Tex, Randall, Chirivella, Brannagan?

@TonyBarretTimes: Juergen Klopp confirms Daniel Sturridge will not be fit to face Bournemouth.

Changes for tmrws game, 3 games in 8 days or something, so needs to rest players with knocks etc.
