Pre match: Liverpool v Norwich, FA cup round 5 @Anfield: Wed March 2nd, ko 20:15

Quick move on from yesterdays league cup success, and on to the FA cup

Huge league game on Saturday, and then Tuesday champions league. With that in mind plus playing 120 minutes yesterday I think we have to be very smsrt in our selection for this.

Yes we want to win the cup but bigger trophies could be hurt by this going wrong

Matip Virg, Robbo Trent, Mo Diaz, all rested for me

                      Ali

Bradley Gomez Konate Tsimikas

            Ox  Milner Jones

           Elliott   Jota   Origi

Get Taki on for Jota half hour to go

After 120 minutes and the high of winning the cup, this is a game that could potentially get very tricky. We have no choice but to make some changes though.

Ali; Milner, Gomez, Konate, Tsimikas; Henderson, Jones, Elliott; Mane, Jota, Origi.

Think Hendo and Mane should be good for an hour given when they came off yesterday.

Isn't the FA Cup also for Kelleher? Can't remember what the boss said about it.

Milly will probably start in midfield. Gomez at right back, maybe?

Taki will start I think. apart from that, I think gomez will be RB. Virgil will probably start as he is a machine. But klopp may well throw a curveball as he does.

Good point

Not to jinx it, but does anybody know when the draw is? Imagine our game will be on TV due to the KO time. Would the draw be on straight after?

I’m not sure who is injured right now or might have niggles so I would go with this team...

(If just glad we have a game where my heart race won’t go mental.)

Kelleher
Milner
Tsimikas
Kanate
Gomez

Morton
Jones

Ox
Minamino

Ive not got a clue sorry.

Can see a smattering of kids featuring on Wednesday, however we don’t want to have too many that it knocks us off kilter, so perhaps one or three but no more, each to their own as with our opinions, I’m going for something like this…..

                              Alisson
          Bradley   Gomez.  Konate.  Kostas
                             Milner(c)
              Oxlade                       Naby lad
                              Divock
               Minamino                      Jota


Bench of sorts; Kelleher, Trent, Virgil, Morton, Jones, Elliot, Mane, Diaz, Stubbins


Shouldn’t be too much trouble from Norwich but they are a much better outfit since Dean Smith went in, cup tie atmosphere and with us obviously making so many alterations kind  of levels the scales somewhat, still should have enough to keep us sweet but a bit of security on the bench cos you never know, full of confidence  we are right now so I can’t see anything other than yet another mighty Reds win.


A confident 3-1 Victory



                                                                       Y  N  W  A

Kelleher, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Kostas, Ox, Morton, Jones, Taki, Elliott, Origi. Would be my guess.

Div & Taki will defo start. Hopefully they bag a few goals.

Albert must we worth a shout here

Yes mate, could ‘resurrect’  his career 🤪

No doubt a load of players being rested, but the reserves will be good enough

100% agree about full or close to full rotation for the sake of overall goals.

Some have mentioned Tyler Morton but Klopp said Sunday he is injured at the moment.

The new players coming in is also a good way to guard against emotional letdown. Let's just hope they are ready to show they can perform as well.

Hopeful for another victory against Norwich, at Anfield tomorrow night. It would be great to return to Wembley so soon, to feature in another final !

Injured:

                Ally
Gomez Konate VVD Kostas
    Jones Hendo Keita

Would need either Hendo or Fab in the middle to shore things up imho [with Thiago out]
Think that's a strong enough side while still rotating guys.

We've gone a fair ways in this comp already and think Jürgen will want to keep going.

The draw is on Thursday immediately after Neverton get eliminated 😂😂

Whatever we do regards rotation. Don’t over do it, or it could come back to bite us in the arse.

3:1 last game. Theirs a deflected shot, but they did have chances. They can be ok ish when they are on it and that Pukki can be a threat if we let him get behind us.
To be fair he did that with our best back 4 playing.
They know they’re expected to lose so have nothing to fear, they’ll just go for it.
Me, I’m terrified we underestimate these and make tooo many changes.
Please god we’ve got this far, let’s stay in it.
