      Welcome back Bentekkers! Let's hope you get stuck in cement on that beautiful new Anfield pitch:




      So what's your preferred lineup? I think it's absolutely necessary that we get a positive result in this one, especially with the second half of our CL tie coming up this week.

      We really have to kick this palace bogey team curse of recent seasons, and judging by them getting their arses handed to them by mighty Huddersfield in the opening weekend then there will be no better opportunity for us to do that than now. I'm a bit nervous about us defensively and I'd be very tempted to start with Klavan instead of Lovren but i think we will outscore them even if we are as crap defensively as we were against Watford.

      Must win, will win.  Benteke bound to score, so I'll go 3-1 LFC.

      Will be at Anfield with my son (rare excursion) and we never lose when I'm there (nailed on kiss of death comment!). 

      Hope Klopp drops one of the midfield 3 and plays Solanke up top, but doubt he will.  Also like to see Robertson get a run out.  Looking forward to seeing the pace of Mane & Salah and just hope we shift the ball quickly.  If so, a comfortable win, conceding a calamitous goal in the process!

      Judging by the presser, Robertson will not start, so I'm looking at an unchanged lineup unless he possible uses Milner for Moreno. Sturridge will be on the bench so either Origi or Solanke likely dropped.

      I'm sure Benteke eager to face off against our back line. I wonder if he Sakho will show up and celebrate all of Benteke's goals.

      I'd start with Solanke up top. Firmino has been used a lot against Hoffelheim. Give Sturridge the last half an hour to ease him back into the fold and put Firmino behind the front 3 for the last 30 also.

      Would play:

                     Migs
       TAA Matip Lovren Moreno
               Can Henderson
           Salah Firmino Mane
            Solanke/Sturridge

      Migs, wouldn't play if had choice, but still burnt from last time Karius had run in the PL side. And he mustn't be right yet if Jürgen is still picking Migs. Surely.
      Moreno, would play at home. Get on the attack. As best form of defense.  And hope he gets by defending. Milner deffo better defender, but had it last year with him going up the line, stopping, and coming back on his right foot. Pace gone from attacks.
      But basically two players we should have replaced 1 year back minimum.

      Other 3 defenders pick themselves right now.
      Drop Gini, been poor, and drop Firmino in behind striker. And play S or S up top who take up more traditional striker positions.
      Ideally we have Cou in there too, BIG loss right now, gives me a pain in the hole just thinking about it.
      Mane has been great, and Salah tho missed few chances has impressed so far.

      But Klopp is getting pretty predictable - and so is the side - don't expect a starting XI change.

      These beat us at home last season, so would love to cap a few in their ass at the weekend. If Zaha is out that's a big plus. Get Lovren on Benteke and get a few choice challenges in on him - no pressure on the turd, and thats when he does OK, so soften him up early.

      Would say 'and we need to be tighter in defense', but we've had all summer and look at the state of things. Don't expect much change in less than a week.
      We just need to outscore the sh*t out of sides until we can head balls out of our box.

      Think we go with same lineup as the first two. From Jurgens comments it looks like Robertson isn't up to full speed with the squad tactics and fitness just yet. Moreno over Milner. Can't be willing to start him on the road in CL qualifier and not at home to Palace in a game that we need width and his left foot.

      Would hope to see us jump out to a 2 goal lead (fingers crossed) and get Mane, Firmino, and one of the mids out of the game at the 60 min mark to rest up for Wednesday. Let Studge get the last 30.

      In my personal dream world I want to see Karius, Firmino in the attacking mid role and Studge up top

      Klopp " Daniel is in a good way, very very close, 2 more training sessions and he will be available for the weekend"

      He's going to need to rotate the attack soon. Apart from Solanke (who is still unproven at this level), I don't see many other viable options.

      Fingers crossed Klopp's right this time about Danny's fitness.

      Quote
      Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Daniel Sturridge is set to be fit for Saturday’s Anfield clash with Crystal Palace.

      The striker returned to full training at Melwood this week and is likely to come into contention to make the squad for the Premier League encounter against the Eagles.

      Elsewhere, Philippe Coutinho will miss the game due to a back injury.

      Asked by journalists whether the duo would be ready to face Palace, Klopp told his pre-match press conference: “Daniel yes, I would say.

      “Yesterday he was part of the complete session and looked really good, but always after injuries you have to wait to see how the player reacts to this intensity.

      I'd like to see Salah and Mane switched for one game.

      There have been plenty of chances falling to the weaker foot and I think playing from their strongest side might help.

      Won't happen because klopp seems to like them cutting inside but I'd like to see how it works.

      I reckon we'll destroy these for some reason... 5 - 1

      Karius-Migs get out my life
      TAA-Marry Me
      Lovren- Better than Klavan (only just)
      Matip- Needs to find form
      Robertson- Don't sign a new LB and then pick Moreno over him

      Henderson- Needs to find form
      Can- Potential is maybe starting to show, needs the minutes to work out what type of CM he is
      Wijnaldum- I like his smile

      Salah- Needs all the prem experience he can get before we see the best of him (still rate him highly)
      Mane- if fit. If not solanke through the middle and firmino to do a job out wider
      Firmino- Through the middle or as a Wide attacking mid if Mane is injured.

      After last week's dropped points we can't make the same mistake again.  City are facing Everton, Spurs are facing Chelsea.  Don't want to be 5 points behind a couple of them having played nobody.

      Probably won't happen, it's what I'd go with, we're at home so I'd like it if we played with a striker with ample back up and creativity,

      Again this won't happen but I'd have Klavan on Benteke all f***in day, he's their main so get on him and hamper his every move,
      Henderson in front of the back four, Gini breaking up play & linking with the frontline, Bobby pulling the strings aka the Coutinho role, he's the glue, get the ball to him asap, pace, guile intelligence, killer passes, can score goals too,

      Palace won't expect it and will probably line-up thinking Firmino will play atop,

      Reluctantly I've kept with Migs the un-merciless my thinking being most had a sh*t day at the office V TWatford, boosted by his penalty save might just give a tad more confidence, anyhoo not expecting too much grief from de boers lot,


      Bench; Karius, Gomez, Lovren, Milner, Can, Solanke, Woodburn

      We've scored 5 with out him and missed as many clear cut in 2 games he's missed.

      Given he's out injured again and only had one session according to the presser why would you throw him in the fire from the off?

      For some reason I keep getting an error with the team builder but here's what I'd select:


      Karius

        Lovren     Matip     Klavan

      Alexander-Arnold                                   Robertson

      Henderson

      Salah    Firmino    Mane

      Sturridge


      Benteke is going to be the obvious threat. Three central defenders with wing backs should, in theroy, give us a better balance between attack and defence. Salah, Mane and Firmino provide us not only with pace and movement but also with pressing, and having Sturridge up front gives us a natural goal scorer who can get in behind the Palace defence.

      Solanke
      Kent

      I actually don't think that Moreno has been that bad actually over the course of the last few games but I want to now see ROBERTSON get a start and see having Milner on the bench as a more versatile option from the bench.

      First home game of the season...
      Brand spankin new snooker cloth pitch..
      It has to be all out attack attack attack from the start..

      A few warning signs to look out for :
      Lovren acting like a tw*t and hoofing the ball up into the air everytime he kicks it,
      Moreno scissor tackles and drifting infield,
      Henderson constantly appearing in the centre half position,
      Asking yourself after half an hour "Is Can actually playing?"
      Not testing their keeper in the first 20 minutes.

      Get this one in the bag and move on... Can't f**kin stand Chrystal Palace !

      Looking forward to being back home for this match, Anfield will look magnificent in the late Summer sunshine and hopefully the lads can put on a show for the fans in the first home game of the season, the fans also need to get behind the boys and an early goal could open the floodgates to a nice little first home win.

      So a good night's sleep and a trip to Liverpool, looking forward to seeing my stone outside the main stand in the Bill Shankly area as well for the first time  8)

      Let's hope we're all cheering by 4.45 tomorrow afternoon with our first 3 points, come on you mighty REDMEN, let's do this !!

      Sounds like Klopp may give TAA a rest to avoid him playing 5 games in 2 weeks. That probably means Gomez at right back, but it could be Milner.

      I wouldn't expect any other changes.

      Resting him for the Hoffenheim game I'm guessing, absolutely crucial we get a result there and even without Sadio we should do Palace.

      If it's an injury then this is just f**king ridiculous. Just three games in and we've already seen injuries to Sturridge, Lallana and possibly Mane (I won't consider Coutinho). There's a point where 'bad luck with injuries' is no longer is an acceptable excuse.

      Klopp said it was not an injury...he was given two off days this week and there was no issue.

      Barely had a pre-season and has already been flogged like a horse.

      Needs the rest, as he looked dead on his feet in Germany.

      But we've got such a great squad now, that even Sadio won't be missed.  :P

      Obviously they are all big games but the biggest is on Wednesday night, it's possible he might rest a couple from his planned starting lineup for the champions league.

      I would certainly makes some changes.

      klavan (or Gomez) for Lovren
      Robertson in for Moreno
      Milner in for Gigi

      I really think it might be worth looking at Gomez at CB, the lad was do good in his first season until his injury and he looked like a real prospect. I'd leave the rest of the side as it was.

      Palace have obviously been a bogey dude but this is a good time to play them given that De Boer is trying to get them playing total football, good luck getting Benteke to fit in with that approach Frank. Also no Zaha got them which is good news for us.

      I fancy us to win it 3-1. Goals for Mane, Firmino and Sslah once again.

      Mignolet
      Trent Lovren Matip Moreno
      Hendo Can
      Mane Grujic Salah
      Firmino

      Sub: Ward, Gomez, Milner, Sturridge, Wijnaldum, Klavan, Origi, Dominic.

      4-2-3-1 (with Salah attacking from the left) should see us win this one with a clean sheet.

      2-0

      Milner & Sturridge for Can & Mane if unavailable. Robertson & Kent making the bench.

      If we need to rest players this early in the season I'm sorry but the training is too intense.

      I'm sick of our players getting injured consistently we don't even play the high press any more. Not with as much intensity as before anyway.

      Klopp needs to put the players health first.

      Not going to complain about this lineup. Decent bench for what we have with Salah being able to run at tired defense if we need him which I hope we don't.

      Robertson debut.
