Pre-Match: Liverpool v Leicester City Thurs Feb 10th 7.45pm

Mo Salah in training Tuesday and says he wants to start on Thursday.

Will probably go bang a hattrick as well!!

Leicester will be keen to bounce back from their humiliating defeat in the fa cup...

They look garbage right now but have already beaten us this season...

With mane not available I would go for a jota firmino Diaz front three. Salah can come on later on after his long flight and all that.

This is a must win ,get the 3 points and close the gap on City. With the fit squad we have got now we can operate  with several options up front and central midfield. One further thing GO THE REDSAND GET THE # POINTS,

Brilliant stuff. Almost back to full strength for this game.

And Salah is my FF captain again.

First headache for Jürgen if indeed he feels Mo is ok to play, are the Brazilians back from their soirée in S America yet ? If so then there are two shoe in starters in Allison and Fabinho, will he risk using Harvey from the get go or stick with Hendo and play Thiago instead, could leave Bobby out and have a front three of Diaz, Jota & Mo ? Jeez, I got pins and needles in my brain and I’m only a supporter, F**k knows which X1 will step over the whitewash but I’m haphazardly going for thus………

                                                           Alisson
                                             Trent   Matip   Virgil   Robbo
                                               Hendo   Fabinho   Thiago
                                                  Salah    Jota   Diaz


            Bench; Kelleher, Kostas, Elliot, Milner, Bobby, Minamino, Naby, Konate, Toshack



For me there is a huge gulf in class Vs Leicester, and although they can be troublesome i can’t see them causing any upset, they have been bang average of late, and will again end the season potless while looking up the arses of MUtants, Arse,& Spuds, so a possible 6th place finish or thereabouts is probably their best bet,
For us we just need to keep winning, be the mentality monsters again and take every single game left as a cup final, in short, drop anymore points in the league you can forget completely overhauling the camel jockeys, it is a big ask but you never know, the domestic situation will look after itself but I’d like us to have as much impetus for the CL as we have of the EPL, i honestly believe we can win number Seven, just let that sink in for a bit, European Champions for a Seventh time, got a nice ring to it don’t you think ?


Stroll in the park for the Redmen…..3-0

Was meant to be going to this until BT fannyed around with the kick off time!

Either way - hopefully Mo is back and on fire, think Brendan type teams are always ideal for us so should be a good win if we are on it.

I'd be surprised if Luis Diaz starts this one. He has a lot of learning to do to get up to speed with our system. Great signing, mind, but if you watched his movement Sunday - all over the place. I'm sure he will continue to get runouts, but Jürgen has a very specific systemhe uses with the pressing and it takes players time to learn it.

Reckon Mo will be let off the leash in this one and clearly chomping at the bit to erase Afcon disappointment.  Midfield could be interesting so many options think Thiago will be on bench though

VVD 😂😂

Team I think will be


Alisson

TAA
Matip
VVD
Robbo

Fabinho
Henderson
Naby

Mo
Jota
Bobby

Play a strong side with Mo back in the side, Diaz to come off the bench. It will be nice to see Fabinho back in midfield, should smash Leicester on Thursday night !

Can’t see Mo starting this one even if he wants to - Klopp and the others will probably be against him playing the 90 mins. Bit of a headache reallly because he’ll no doubt want to get out there and put AFCON behind him but not sure it’s wise given the amount of football he has played in the last 2 weeks.

Yep this for me but would swap Keita for Thiago.

MO will start and be subbed as early as possible, hopefully after he scores a hat trick.

I want to destroy this team on Thursday.

Hopefully Thiago comes back in. If it's Hendo and Fab we have to have Thiago in there if he's ready to go.

I'd sit Salah and Mane both. They've had a tough two weeks. You'd think we have enough with Jota, Bobby and Diaz to take care of LC.

Would definitely play Thiago and not Naby , Our midfield has been a bit poor of late with Hendo out of form and Naby going missing for big parts of the game

I'd start Fabs anchoring Hendo and Naby lad in MF, with Thiago to come in later, if needed.

And, with Mo back and very, very angry, he must start.  Alongside Bobby and Jota, I think.  With Diaz and even Harvey to come in out wide, late on, if needed.

           Ally
TAA Matip VVD Robbo
 Hendo Fab Thiago
Salah Firmino Jota

Mo seems to want to play, get the final out of the system.
Thiago needs games, have to start somewhere.
Still a bit soon imho for Diaz in first XI, so Bob up front, could see him later.

That leaves guys like Elliot, Mane, Jones on the bench, so things looking stronger now.
But plenty of games coming up and with a CL match next week too, could be some rotation come the weekend.

First of all though, get the 3 points here.
Leicester haven't been in great form lately so hoping for the 3 points.
COYRs!!!!!

Me unsure if they'd pass to each other now...

Klopp will play his best side thursday (minus Sadio)

-------------- Ali -----------
Trent - Matip - VVd - Robbo
-------------- Fab -----------
---- Hendo ------ Thiago ---
- Salah ---- Jota --- Diaz -
