      Pre-Match: Leicester v Liverpool Tues 2nd Feb 19:45KO
      Jan 31, 2016 06:41:54 pm
      Back to a full strength side here:

      Mignolet

      Clyne
      Lovren
      Sakho
      Moreno

      Henderson (c)
      Lucas
      Emre Can

      Milner
      Firmino
      Lallana

      Subs: Ward; Flanagan, Toure; Allen; Ibe, Teixeira; Benteke.

      This is gonna be a very tough game, expecting it to be a draw though either 0-0 or 1-1.

      Not sure what team I'd go with, but I'd try and set up in a 4-4-2 and play a similar game to the one we played when we beat them earlier in the season.

      Starting to get more predictable in his first XI selections
      Think it'll be the 11 above, 'maybe' Flanno for Clyne, or Toure for Lovren
      Tough game, though we stifled Leicester well at Anfield, so hopefully we can do a smash and grab on Tues.

      We kinda need to win this one, and there's a good chance that we can edge it. We play our best games against teams that come at us, and at home Leicester will do just that.
      1-0 Reds!

      Henderson has been absolute rubbish several weeks running, he's even been subbed TWICE in a row, even Klopp sees he's been sh*te.  Yet he still walks into everyone's starting XI whilst Joseph, who's put in several strong performances, can't get a look in.

      I'm not sure Moreno , Can or Milner deserve a start or even Hendo for that matter , but i can't see Klopp risk starting the youngsters . If i was to choose one it would be Smith for Moreno .

      He's just got back from being injured. Emre hasnt been his commanding self in recent weeks either. Agree with you on Joe though, on a bit of a roll with performances this year.

      Though they deserve to but it will be tough for Allen, Smith and Brannagan to start this game so soon after the cup game. I hope Klopp makes the changes early enough to give these guys a decent run in case things are not going according to plan.

      Question. If he drops the lads who done well v West Ham I.e. Brannigan! Stewart, Teixera and Caulker would it be justifiable?

      Especially Brannigan in the middle

      Think you have to have Joe Allen in that lineup somehow, for me it would be ahead of Can who IMO needs sent a message that you can't continually lose possession and be guaranteed a starting spot.

      No Jürgen hasn't replaced him twice because he's sh*t, he's injured you muppet.  He's been playing through severe pain in his heel since returning from a fractured metatarsal.

      Yeah I actually think we will too. I'm strangely confident about this one.

      Ibe needs a kick up his arse! If it was down to me, I would probably play him in the U21s until he overcomes his complacency.

      I just don't think Benteke will start a league game especially an away game and I think Lovren will start before Toure if fit

      I am a big fan of this kid but he frustrates the life out of me. On the one hand he plays and looks like he is really making progress then the next game he is like a completely different lad.He is young and I think Jürgen can make him into a player

      Pace pace and pace.....lets give them something to think about.

      F**k it lets mix it up....Ibe and Ojo wide, Benteke up top with Firmino as a front 2. All 4 of these should be interchangeable though.

      2 in the centre mid that will fight like F**k for the ball, go for the 2 young lads.

      Milner, Hendo, Allen and Can can wait......actually maybe Joe in there he's been the best of that lot for a while but he needs freedom to get forward.

      Im rambling here but just want to see a proper "have some of this you fuckers" attitude from the off.

      Trust me! So am I. The injuries are helping him big time to cement his position but these days he blows hot and cold way too often. I was banging my head last weekend at his showoff stepovers! I mean common, its not coming off today, so try something more productive. I think that's where he needs to learn big time, improvise on the pitch and add more meat in his runs.

      I think with Ibe you have to play him to get more from him he is learning on the Job but his potential is massive

      I think this is one of the tougher selection choices that Jürgen has had to make in a while. We need the win as we need to gain ground at every opportunity now with anyone/everyone who is above us. The midfield three is all up for grabs for me, and same with the fullbacks. Flanno is going to provide such a healthy competition on each side. For me, I'd go like this:
                         Migs
      Flanno  Lovren  Sakho  Moreno
                         Lucas
                  Allen      Milner
         Lallana                   Ibe
                       Firmino

      If they go two up front, we press the hell out of them in the midfield with our runners. Allen definitely deserves the nod for his recent performances. Can has annoyed me lately (although when I feel that way, he comes through with a good game so who knows). No Hendo for me, let him rest a bit more. We need the win, and we need to go on a bit of a roll through this tough February.
