      Not many posts in this thread that is a must win game.
      I feel klopp must have an eye on the Spartak game and will rotate the squad.
      I would go with:
      Mig
      TAA
      Gomez
      Klaven
      Robertson
      Henderson
      Milner
      Can
      Solanke
      Sturidge
      Ings.

      Yup.
      It’s a crazy idea but I wouod love to see him do this and save coutinho, firmino, salah, mane and Lovren for the CL game.
      Never gonna happen.
      Regardlesss, going with a 4-1 win.

      Good basic idea, here's my changes:

      Klavan for Gomez for the latter needs rest.

      Solanke for Firminho to give Solanke more playing time for development, because Solanke soon will be what Sturridge was the last months: our premium striker backup.

      Sturridge for Mané to rest a half-injured Mané and to give Sturridge time to present himself to other clubs.

      p.s. I tried to use the LFC team builder but it didn't work, does one need to be some paying/premium member for this?



      Klavan was ill and I prefer someone who is a little 'tired' then unfit health wise. I do not think that nowadays Sturridge deserve to start. The only thing, I would agree is that we rest Mane for Solanke.

      I know there are a sh*t load of games coming up but after Spartak we can forget CL for a while, so i wouldn't be changing too much, as Shanks used to drum into his players the league is our bread & butter everything else is a bonus, so for me we concentrate on our league games and if viable rotate for everything else, so a fullest as possible strength team takes priority....

                              Mignolet
            Trent Gomez Klavan Moreno
                    Gini      Henderson
                            Coutinho
                  Salah Firmino Mane

      Bench; Karius, Lovren, Can, Lallana, Ox, Solanke, Sturridge

      I'd prefer Karius to Migs but know that won't happen, we are woefully short in defensive mids so need to remedy this in the jan window if possible,

      B & HA are a dangerous outfit and won't sit back, this will hopefully play into our hands, i honestly can't see us losing this one a draw would be a great result for them, but i reckon we'll do them ....

      1-2

      How come?  :o

      You been serious ?

      Migs is sh*te, he has cost us too many points for far too long, if I'm honest he's not fit to be our No 1 stopper, he's had enough opportunities now to improve and he hasn't so imo he should F**k off back to Sunderland or similar where he'll find his comfort zone !

      Would go with:

                          Karius
            Gomez Lovren Klavan Milner
                    Gini  Henderson
                         Coutinho
                  Salah Firmino Mane

      Would give Karius a run. But it's a toss up, neither of them inspires confidence.
      If Cou in midfield, would go for a more solid back 4 - Gomez/Milner instead of TAA/Moreno.
      Can to me looks a bit out of sorts - so Gini and Hendo.
      Cou in behind a the front three - Salah and Mane obviously.
      Was considering going for Solanke ahead of Firmino, but Bob's workrate, along with the fact that Salah or Mane are almost guaranteed to score means don't need to depend on Bob to get goals, which is just as well.

      Confident of 3 points. CMON BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      On current form Salah is the best in the Prem. He's just nicks in in front of Hazzard and De Bruyne, so he needs to start as often as poss. He hasn't actually had a heavy load as a pro, 25 or so and he really only kicked on at Roma, so he has not been overplayed.

      Looks as if we'll start with a high line and play like the home side, kill them off in the first half and use our pace to counter in the second half. But we have to guard against another second half collapse. I'd like to see a front 6: Henderson,Can,Coutinho,Salah,Firmino,Mane.

      He deserves a chance and as is often with managers, when a defender has a poor game, they don't knee jerk and drop the defender next game. So Klopp pulls Moreno a game or two after the Serville game.

      Robertson did enough with limited game time he has had and we know he gets forward to support the attack, lets see how good a defender he is.
