I think Klopp will play pretty much his strongest 11, remember what he said a few weeks back...We are not tired until we say we are tired. All this talk of giving rests is a bit of a joke if you ask me.Play as close to the team that played city and let them build more confidence together. The confidence gained in that match will have every single player who played energised and raring to go.Also let's not forget this is a competition we could have a real chance in and it also gives us another route into the Champs League. Start with the strongest team and then start resting people mid match if we need to. But in reality these are all professional athletes and playing games is what they are paid to do.
For those who missed it, here's the pre-match interview for your build up to tonight's game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_0WEw_mNng
It's a good laugh in places but I'd suggest to anyone who hasn't watched it try to skip the translations, drags on a bit.Also at pains not to knock the previous manager which I like because it was clearly a leading question for him to do so. No surprise from me but I thought he dealt with it all superbly again, a real breath of fresh air.
Luke I also give Jürgen Klopp full marks for not laying any blame on Rodgers-which he was fully entitled to do in my opinion. He also made sure the media were fully aware that it was only young Isaac who had been giving him lessons on scouse terminology. We are lucky to have the man at Liverpool.
Supposed team for tonight :- Mignolet – Clyne, Touré, Lovren, Moreno – Milner, Lucas, Allen – Ibe, Firmino – Benteke.Subs from: Bogdán, Smith, Randall, Lallana, Emre Can, Brannagan, Sturridge, Origi
Decent team although surprised to see Bogdan not getting the nod to be honest.Apparently Skrts is feeling ill?!?, heard somewhere, believe it was Jürgen's presser. So we're also down to our final 2 senior CBs. Really need to get qualified tonight so we can have a rest in the final game of this league phase.I think that team should win tonight and I'm really looking forward to it, just hope we can get a few goals ahead and perhaps rest the likes of Lucas/Firmino/Clyne but I suspect it'll be much tighter than that.It's nice to see us taking the competition seriously though, it's got a wonderful prize at the end of it and I've got a feeling we might just surprise one or two in it.
More surprised or disappointed mate? I'm not surprised in the slightest in all honesty.
Their badge is f**king sh*t!
Yeah fair to say there's disappointment in there too mate, I think he could quite easily challenge Migs for that starting position judged on his previous showing.
Do you think Jürgen wants to look at Mignolet more ? parts of his game stink ie anytime he needs to kick a ball.
