Pre-Match: Middlesbrough v Liverpool Wednesday 14th Dec, 19:45 GMT

I think that could work, but why not play Moreno on the left wing ahead of Milner, would certainly give us someone speedy down that flank which would disrupt their defence, whilst we would still be ok defensively ourselves

The main issue I could see with that is Moreno is absolutely dreadful at taking people on although he's better at crossing than Milner.

What the heck...a mid-week game??

Tis the season for it.  Only one of our next 5 games is on a weekend.

                   Mig

Clyne    Matip     Klavan  Milner

               Hendo   Gigi

  Mane       Firmino       Lallana

                   Origi




With current injuries/form this should be one of the easiest team selections Jürgen has had to make.
Presumably he will stick with Karius though, after what he's said publicly. Otherwise I expect the team to be as above.

Just F***ing Win!




Please

                Mignolet
   Clyne Matip Klavan Milner
                      Lucas
       Henderson Wijnaldum
     Mane.                    Lallana
                   Firmino

Stronger at the back whilst retaining our midfield prowess, Firmino in his more familiar false nine role ably supported by Mane & Lallana, feel for Origi but something has to give

Just F***ing Win!

Please

Yes, just win. We need the 3 points.

With Sturridge, Lovren and Can likely to miss out i'd go with:

Karius

Clyne
Matip
Klavan
Milner

Lallana
Henderson (c)
Wijnaldum

Mane
Firmino
Origi

Subs: Mignolet; Alex-Arnold, Gomez, Moreno; Lucas, Ejaria; Woodburn.

Expecting a tight game, 1-0 to us.

Im shocked at the abuse that Karius has received. With all the sh*te he's been thrown at the last week, he needs fan support. Instead, he's been called 'dickhead', 'w**ker', etc while the inbred Manc Chuckle Brothers let rip.

If he makes another mistake soon, so be it - I wouldn't be surprised because his confidence has been shot by a section of w**ker fans and the Neville's press agenda.

This is just going to be something he has to ride through and will hopefully be conducive in his development in the long run. Support the guy for fucks sake, he needs it after this week - or are we all going to get behind the wankshaft beach ejaculating brothers?

Don't really know what to expect from tonight I just hope to god we win because my brother supports Boro.

They're good defensively and have a few dangerous players at the sharp end of the pitch.

Wouldn't be suprised to see someone make a shock start like Ejaria, Gomez or dare I say it Moreno!

Which fans have been calling him that, I've not seen that. A few, including myself, have been questioning his current ability but I've not seen any personal abuse directed at him.

Any kind of win would be a welcome relief. I am glad Everton won, I hate playing teams on a long losing run as it always ends with them playing us.

Interesting taking Karius out of the limelight or is he being rested   

Let's see how long Migs can hold onto the position.

Dropped mate. 

As for the game itself, this has to be the one in which we bounce back. 3 or 4 goals to the reds.. and a clean sheet.

Last two seasons we've been 11th and 9th after the 16th game of the season, so in the unlikely event we get another kick in the gonads - there's always that...!

Migs in goal.

We've had the last straw with this clown a long time ago. Poor decision from Klopp (and I think that's the first time I've said that)

Never thought I'd be saying this but I'm relieved Mignolet is back in goal given the form of Karius.

Apparently gave them a training session to compare and Migs got the nod.

Latching on to the positives it does take Karius out of the limelight and we get to see how Migs does with the knowledge that he has to take his chance. A pressure he's never really had before and who knows that might just spark him into some great form (I've got to get hope from somewhere). Start with a clean sheet tonight and we'll go from there.

I'm gonna wander over to the pub for this,beer prices went up now $7 for a Guinness,$6.50 for Smithwicks might slum it with the 3.50 Narragansett cans.Let's hope it's a good one.

Ah smithwicks 🍺

Easy to pretend otherwise (and fill the air with clichéd, bravado) but even at this early stage, truth is, we need to win.

Two nil to the Redmen. 😎

Think firmino needs a rest.
