      5 changes from the team that won 6-1 in the last round, and sadly 3 of those 5 changes are the people who scored all six of our goals.

      Hope subs aren't needed because our bench looks weak.

      Whatever the result tonight our lads owe us a performance. Just put in 100% effort for 90mins, that's all we ask. YNWA.

      Come on reds. Let's do these.

      Got to say I'm a little bit surprised that Bogdan has been dropped from this competition.

      I would not have even put Benteke on the bench. An injured Danny Ings probably has more go in him than Benteke.

      Yes mate, hindsight is 20/20 and all that. I agree with the decision now, it would be hypocritical to say it was wrong later wouldn't it.

      Fair enough.

      I'm surprised as well. After his recent performance I'd have preferred for him to have been dropped in some random village in the Ukraine and told never to return.

      How awesome was Klopp with that reporter, told him absolutely f**k all, gave him no ammunition and basically, politely told him to do one.

      Perfect.

      I say that because it was clear as day they wanted some dirt, wanted something to dig back and were desperate to have something to wedge between him and his players.

      Well played Jürgen.

      Even if we lose and don't score?

      Yes, he hates the letter B because Benteke starts with it.

      Must be honest I don't like the team at all, think it looks way too powderpuff. I don't fancy the game at all now, hopefully this is one of those posts where people can remind me of it after the game and I look like a right tool.

      Considering our injuries and Benteke looking like a square peg then that's probably our strongest available line up.
      Toure gives me the shits he will need serious protection from Lucas and Allen.

      Watching the goals we've recently conceded and mignolet doesn't come for any crosses does he. He is seriously the shittest goalie we've ever had.

      No pace in attack either.

      Maybe going for the draw?

      I like the selection. Now, I hope we press the hell out of them. Apart from their front 3, they are not that skilled and I believe we can create a lot of turnovers in the midfield, and attack on those counters. Stay away from fouling in the offensive third and the subsequent set pieces, and watch for the Austrian running in behind. If we execute these issues, I see a win for us tonight.

      There is enough pace. Might not be explosive but our front three aren't exactly slow. They are no slower than benteke anyway.

      Their is lots of movement there though and that's what we need.

      Was already quite nervous about this one, even more so now after looking at that team.

      Let's hope we don't concede more than one because I can't see where the goals will be coming from if we do.

      Big game for Firmino today, hope Klopp has had him on the radiator all week as he's been nothing but a wet blanket lately.
