      I still have some hope for the CL. We will get better over the next weeks, maybe buy someone in January and in the KO modus we could go far. But first we need to finish #1 in our group to avoid the big dogs. So a win is imperative.

      I think you can play your best side here and still be set up nicely for the weekend due to the game being on Sunday. I want to see Milner in for Hendo just for rest purposes (outside of the ManU game Hendo played two games on Intl duty, one on artificial turf) and Robo in for Moreno because I think he is better ;D. Robo needs MORE games, especially big ones like these. How else will he grow? Besides, right now he is playing damn good for us and Scotland (when he gets the chance). TAA will probably be the only change from the weekend other than the goal keeper though  :(

      Hope you're right mate, but at this point I'm happy with winning 1-0.

      YES, and could we score one from a corner please?


      One thing at a a time mate. Let's win one game in CL before asking for impossible, i.e. score from a corner.  ;)

      We need to win this one as all of us said but we need an early goal to settle our nerves.

      Come on Reds.

      Their stadium sold out within hours and with a capacity of 12,000 it will be a cauldron.

      I still can't stop seeing a pack of 20-year old me's best friends when I see this team name.


      Anyway, I have no f**king clue what to expect from this game. Feel like our overall play has been decent of late, but of course the lack of quality finishing has fu**ed us and leaves us ever vulnerable to a disastrous result with the inexplicable goals we give up to teams we shouldn't. The fact our team looked the most polished from the back against United is absolutely nuts - though somewhat explainable by the transparent tactic employed by Mourinho, sadly exactly what he wanted. I picked 3-0 (to us, obviously) in the prediction league, just hoping that there's a good couple goals in us and finally a game in which we don't go f**king benny hill bonkers at the back.

      5:15am kick here. Coffee, be mine.

      Unfortunately I think there's not much choice here right? Two disappointing draws, we need a win to tone down the rumbling of discontent in the fanbase. A sh*t result here with a half baked squad would just send the reactors into overdrive I feel. Spurs aren't until Sunday, there is a decent break considering we have a midweek game. I expect a near full strength side myself, besides minor tweaks maybe.

      Yea I thought that too until I read Klopp talking about 'one or two changes'. I suppose we know the GK will change and most likely the full backs too? Maybe that's what he meant.

      Was looking into this Marcos Tavares, their 'superstar captain' with 25 European goals and all that.  Rested for last weekend's game.

      Anyway I've dug out the obligatory Youtube vid and the bad news is he looks like he more than knows how to score them scrappy headers. :(

      Yeah, I would imagine keeping a core with the likes of Coutinho, Bobby, Salah etc but switching out Moreno for Robertson or whatever - we'd still consider that full strength more or less. As much as Moreno has been... less sh*t? I don't consider him not being in the side a drastic change from "full strength" yet :D

      I'd make a few changes for this one. Robertson and TAA in seems pretty obvious. But I'd put Milner and Ox in there as well, and probably start Solanke and/or Sturridge n all.

      Don't see Jürgen making so many changes though, but personally I think a side with the above in should be more than capable of beating Maribor. Be nice to be going to Spurs with a well rested starting 11, especially as they will have to go full strength against Real Madrid ( unless Pochettino pulls a Brendan, which I doubt.)

      Heard Karius is going to start, but the team's not announced yet?!

      TAA Matip Lovren Robertson
             Can Gini
       Ox  Coutinho  Firmino
             Solanke

      New FBs in.
      Would maybe give Hendo a break, plus maybe wee wakeup call.
      Ox after decent cameo, and Solanke up front.

      Not a chance in hell of the above ^ though I think.
      Believe Jürgen said there wouldn't be many changes from the weekend?
      If anyone comes in, would like to see a bit more of Solanke, and surely against these we could do that and still win...
      Likely won't happen either though :)

      A lot of people saying the same thing -- this is a must win game.  Except, it isn't.  A draw here, coupled with wins at home against Maribor and Moscow, and a draw in Spain will see us through. 

      I get the sentiment -- 1 win in 8 has us low on confidence and a big win will help get momentum swinging back in the right direction.  No argument there, but it won't be dire if we leave with a point. 

      Much is being made of our "situation" at present, but the reality isn't as bad as some make it out to be.  We are level on points with Chelsea and Arsenal, and only 4 behind Spurs.  We have also had the hardest schedule of any of the top 6 to date, so plenty of time for things to level out. 

      All that said, we really should be winning this game with relative ease.  I hope we see a few changes to keep players fresh and squad members happy, but we need to keep a relatively settled 11.  I'd go for:

      Karius
      TAA - Matip - Klavan - Robertson
      Ox - Gini - Hendo - Coutinho
      Salah

      Beat these away and then at home and we can make life a bit easier for ourselves.

      A draw/loss today and things get tough.
