The first game at Anfield was a terrible watch. I couldn't care less if it was our youngest ever team or whatever else people chose to use as an excuse. This is a competitive game, in the 3rd round of the FA cup, Jürgen needs to pick an 11 capable of doing the F***ing job and showing Plymouth some respect.
Right, now that my little bi*ch fit is out of the way lets move onto what I want to be tonights team.
Karius - Im not in favour of swapping keepers every few games but he did really well at Southampton recently and Id like to keep Mignolet on his toes for league games.
TAA - He struggled at United and that game came a bit soon for him. This game is a different test altogether and one I expect him to handle if he wants a future at LFC. Throw him in.
Gomez - Slowly easing him back into our team and this is a decent fixture to test him in. He was my motm in the game at anfield and I expect another top performance from him. We have a real player on our books in Joe.
Lucas - Steady Eddy Lucas. The perfect partner for Gomez in my opinion. Did nothing wrong in the first game and handled Plymouths big strong CB very well.
Moreno - I think his days are numbered at Anfield and he has half a dozen or so games left for us if that. This is one of them. He has to take his chance. Defend well, attack well, and id go as far as saying he needs to start making assists or perhaps even scoring for people to take notice of him again.
Stewart - Absolutely identical to where Moreno finds himself. Hes 23 now, hes no kid, but he is nowhere near the standard required. He should be knocking on Hendos, Wijnaldums, Cans, Lallanas door fighting to take their shirts from them but he isn't, hes nowhere near their standard, so whats he doing on our books then? The only reason I want him to play tonight is to give two of those players a rest. Not because I rate him.
Can - With some important games coming up I think its crucial that we rest Hendo & Wijnaldum, so can gets the nod for me.
Lallana - We need some experience and some proven quality in the team so the likes of Ejaria miss out in my side and Lallana comes in.
Coutinho - I think we can afford to give him a start now. Let him run riot and then take him off at 60 mins, or even half time depending on the scoreline.
Firmino - Again, we need some quality so im sorry Ojo I don't want to see you tonight. Again, drag him off after 60 mins or half time.
Sturridge - No need to play Origi in this one, we won't be doing much pressing. It'll all be possession play in Plymouths half so this game SHOULD suit Daniel perfectly. If he starts I expect him to score a brace.
Come on reds for fucks sake.
