In my opinion he's got it spot on, win, lose or draw.
I think keeping Skrtel out of the first XI is the right move and pretty obvious (despite it being raised elsewhere).
Really disappointed that Firmino is still recovering but he will be great off the bench. Origi up top I think will give us the threat in behind and the movement we will desperately need. He's also shown recently that he's pretty decent holding up the ball and it was this combination that I thought would make him the right choice and believe it's the driving force behind Jürgen's decision.
Despite what people try to say in Sturridge's thread it's clear he either isn't applying himself fully (FL's theory) or he is indeed feeling a little sorry for himself out there. The fall out from this will be huge, there's no way I see Sturridge accepting being stuck on the bench for the biggest game of our season despite it clearly having logic, I think it's the final nail in the coffin of Studge leaving but that's for another time.
Let's take it to the boys, soak up the pressure and then break with purpose. If they get the first goal I want to see a reaction from the likes of Henderson/Lovren to really keep morale up, losing even 2-1 here while not what we want keeps us right in it. Anything better than a 1 goal loss I think is a magnificent result, come on Reds!!!!!!
Edit: Forgot Benteke got injured.
