      What rumors? I've seen nothing about this on any of the sites I frequent or the twitter accounts I follow?


      Stems from not being seen in training pictures but given the challenges Can took against the bluenoses I wouldn't be surprised if he was only on light training anyway. Or it could simply be that the photographer didn't catch them, no clue but that's where it appears to come from.

      Rumours of can and matip being injured now

      It's bitters all over Can on Saturday. They were just trying to hurt our players. Basically, if you can't beat them at a game of football then injure them so that their season doesn't improve.

      There can only be one result and that has to be a win for the REDS,with a bit (lot) of payback.I cannot see us slipping up like we did at Bournemouth. :kop5cf8koxp6:

      We really should be able to win this one, Bournemouth aren't really bus parkers anyway, its more Stoke and West Brom I'm a bit nervous about.

      Quite a shocking statement there at the end, unfortunately it's how we mostly feel this season!

      We should beat these at home and if we don't then we only have ourselves to blame if come May we are in the Europa League.

      That said, the past few games has seen a semi resurgence of our pre Christmas form ( the corresponding fixture apart) and hopefully the team are up for some revenge.

      Come on red men!  :scarf:

      I never look forward to these type of games where the season is coming to a close and we've still got something left to play for but we come up against mid table opposition who are under no pressure.  I'd rather play a team at the bottom or even at the top so we're both under pressure to win the game. That said, we've just wholloped another mid table team 3-1 so same again please reds.

      The likes of Ojo and Wilson should have been given game time when Mane was away at the AFCON which now means we have virtually zero options as a replacement for him. Putting Firmino out there means a ineffective Bobby and conversely it's not Divocks preferred position either.

      Think we might have to change things up for this one.
      Not sure if Lucas is up to two games a week if not I would go with a 4231

      If we stick Bobby wide we'll miss out on all the other stuff he's been bringing to the team over the last couple of months.


      Yes I know.

      Looking like Can is out for this game. Just as he was picking up some good form.

      Bluenoses kicked absolute Fuk out of him at the weekend. :-(

      Same team with TAA starting in place of Mane. He has pace,a great cross and a decent shot in him. The way our squad is, he is the best replacement we have got.
      I love how Klopp has given extra motivation to the guys using comments made by their player in the away game. We need this extra something in all our remaining games considering we have only got to play the kind of teams which we have fallen short against for quite sometime now.

      Losing Mane last time round through the Johnstone's Paint Trophy of Africa was not good but our poor results were as much to do with the likes of Can, Coutinho, Firmino etc playing utterly wretched stuff. If Coutinho can find his best form and Can keeps up the standard of his last two games the effect of losing Mane will be nowhere near as bad.

      Could not agree more! Would have liked to have seen Moreno tried out on the left too.... still would seeing as Mane is out now.

      Mane may be out for the season according to Klopp today. Can missing training is a pretty big deal in Klopp's selection process, plus we don't do so well when there are three matches in a week anyway.

      Lucas was excellent Saturday but I'm not crazy about him playing again so soon. With Hendo and Lallana already out, seems we are very likely to have at least one new face in the starting midfield (I presume TAA would get the nod if that is the case).

      Firmino should stay in the center of a front three as we lose too much from him when deployed out wide. Origi's best position may also be in the center, but he is more useful to us out wide than Bobby is. I am worried about the two Brazilians as well re fixture congestion between Intl. duty and this week's schedule.

      BUT, fighting spirit can carry the day for us if we show it. I think tomorrow will be more about guts and goo than woo and hoo.

      (I'm not sure what that means either, but I think the message is conveyed  ;D ).

      If Lucas can't handle 2 games in over 4 and a half days then something is wrong. We played Saturday lunch time and we don't play until tomorrow night, that's a pretty big gap between games considering one of them is midweek.

      Sturridge is back in training, it says expected return 5th April, so tomorrow. Bogdan is still a Liverpool goalkeeper.
