Pre-Match: Liverpool v Sparta Prague Europa League R016 2nd Leg 20:00 Kick Off

Elliott needs a rest, give bobby clark a start

I’ll go along with that. Lad never stops running does he.

Looks like Adrian getting a start which feels appropriate

I would like to see a few seniors players, in the starting lineup. Sparta Prague not a bad side, despite the scoreline, otherwise a win for the Reds by a couple of goals.

Does it?

Would rather see one of the younger prospects get a chance between the sticks tonight.

Not too sure about Adrian myself, I cannot remember the last time he featured in a game, for the Reds.

I would prefer to stick to Kelleher, who has been excellent .

I would rotate as I said earlier this week.

I would be able to watch the match after visiting my newborn at NPICU but Iwon't be able to do the Live thread. I need this match to recharge mentality after one hard week.

Come on Reds.

4 goals clear in the tie means it doesn't matter whose between the sticks....Keepers are not often rested K. will play.

Can’t see it being too much of an issue if Adrian plays

Will just be a case of managing the game, putting  enough quality out there to do the job, absolutely avoiding injuries and disciplinary issues. I would expect a few senior guys out there to guide the young ones and keep rhythm even if it's only 20-30 minutes here or there.

They could have scored 3 in the first half first leg. They've got nothing to lose being 4 goals down, so I expect them to come out blazing. They done us for pace, and will do again. If they've got their shooting boots on it could be quite tough. We don't need to take this for granted as being a stroll in the park.
 Start as strong as we dare. Get two goals or so up, then make changes if necessary.
Clearly not full strength, but don't over do the kids. Put too much expectation on them, and it goes pear shaped, it won't do their confidence any good.

Whilst some may not see any issues with Adrian playing tonight am sorry but I do!
Has he actually played a game since the Community Shield match in 2022?
I know we are 4 goals to the good but it just seems a daft idea!
Why would we not stick with Kelleher (unless he's another one injured - is he?)

Feel like we will strong lineup first half and if things are going well then sub some players at halftime. Do think Salah and Dom need some minutes so I would not be surprised to see them start and things go well take them off at halftime. Something like this we might see.

The tie won't be decided by what keeper plays tonight. Kelleher will almost definitely start...why wouldn't he...they don't get tired like outfield players...and the chance of injury is staggering low.
Even if Adrian was to play...do you suspect he's forgotten how to keep goal?...He an experienced keeper who trains every day.

It wasn't me who suggested that Adrian would start tonight - that was done by others on the thread!
And no I don't think he has forgotten how to keep goal and I know he is experienced but he hasn't started a match for eons and so I don't want him between the sticks tonight!

Don't worry about it everything is going to be just fine!...As I say your preferred keeper Kelleher will be in goal anyway!

Have a good evening mate, hope you enjoy the game.

Play the kids plus about 3 seniors - Gakpo, Kostas, Gomez. Maybe give Endo n Mac a half each. Mo to come on.

I don’t see the problem, which some apparently do with Adrian starting, I don’t think he’ll let us down, which as you say just seems appropriate!

Liverpool: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Gomez, Robertson; Endo, Szoboszlai, Clark; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo.

Subs: Adrian, Mrozek, Van Dijk, Diaz, Mac Allister, Elliott, Tsimikas, Gordon, McConnell, Koumas, Danns, Musialowski.

Liverpool v anyone else please. Rangers fans in Dublin would be a security nightmare.

Rangers fans anywhere that they are in a Euro final is a security risk just ask the folk in Barcelona and Manchester.

That uefa cup final in Manchester in 2008 was a disgrace.

Seville and Manchester, but yeah your point stands...
