      Pre-Match: Liverpool v Norwich; Saturday Feb 19th 3 pm
      Feb 17, 2022 03:09:54 pm
      Liverpool hope to keep their momentum rolling with a Saturday afternoon match at Anfield vs. Norwich City. The East Anglian side sit 18th in the table and four points from the last survivor position, but managed a draw vs. Palace and a win over Everton in recent weeks (before losing 4-0 to Man City).

      Jürgen's mission will be to guard against complancy, but also to find the right combination of freshness for a match that comes less than 70 hours after the conclusion of the CHampions League game in Italy, and about the same amount of time before a home kickoff with Leeds on Wednesday. Much has been written about the newfound depth in the squad, but there is still the matter of picking the right players for the right games and the players then justifying their inclusion with their performance.

      Is this a game to consider resting Trent and Virg??

      Keep the 3 points coming, bit of pressure on city then at 5.30, where if Spurs could nick a point.......

      I'd expect to see the old familiar front three, Mo, Bobby and Sadio. In the middle of the park, wouldn't be surprised to see Ox get a game with Thiago and maybe even Naby. Out back it's probably about time for a Kostas sighting....Konate and Matip together and Trent.

      Actually on further thought, no way that Fab or Hendo won't be in there so I suppose the other two will be either of Ox and Keita and Thiago

      No way Gomez plays right back in a Klopp system with the injuries he’s had - and his attacking ability
      Maybe for the last 5 to shore it up when we aren’t on the front foot, but starting? No chance

      I dont see Trent managing 25 games straight between now and the end of the season. Hell need a break somewhere. Heres as good a chance as any, and Im not sure who the better option than Joe is to come in, he also needs minutes. Bradley?

      Just think its too big an ask to expect to get the best from Trent by playing him every game

      Allison

      Milner    Matip    Virgil    Tsimikas

      Henderson

      Elliott      Thiago

      Salah     Firmino     Diaz

      Another reds game not on TV in Britain.

      I reckon thats about 5 premier league games thats not been on sky, BT or Amazon.

      Few seasons ago, almost every game was shown.

      Anyway, apart from that I fancy us to give this lot a proper doing, Mane & salah to score a couple each.

      Need to play a full strength side, even against struggling Norwich. I am sure our forwards Salah and Mane will be eager to add to their goal tally, with  strong midfield to back them up, another win well and truly on the cards.

      is it like a regional blackout, or just not in the country at all?
