Pre match : Bournemouth v Liverpool : Dec 17th 16.30

Reading a few posts on here seems like a cracker the other day 

But the main concern seems to have been our inability to break down the parked bus so with that n mind even though I doubt Bournemouth are going to throw the kitchen sink at us there is a huge difference in playing defensively between the likes of Howe and the likes of Allerdici, Pardew.
They will want to have a go which give our front line some space to operate and also being away from Anfield is not a bad thing, these Reds crumble under the weight of expectation.

Midfield is such a dilemma go with the pairing of one who doesn't want to be here and the other who literally hides Can/Gini or the cumbersome and completely slow and laboured Hendo/Milner.....doesn't really inspire, hopefully Lallana is ready for some minutes.

Karius
Gomez
Lovren
Klavan
Robertson

Can
Ox
Lallana

Coutinho
Mane
Firmino

Play the same midfield that featured in the 7-0 win at Maribor
Can, Milner, Winjaldum & Coutinho
Don't know why he doesn't stick with this lot every week

We desperately need to win this game, best possible side please Jürgen no pissing about with rotations etc. I'd play the same side as against West Brom and pray they can get an early goal.

Oh no not more rotation

I have come to a point where I don't care what team we put out, as long as we win, that's all that matters.

really need to start winning again to get us a good start to the Christmas period

YNWA

 :DJust don’t know what to expect any more.
Full on attack with goals going in from all angles, or lack of attacking finesse from midfield, forwards running on empty, and another frustrating game.
Not building my hopes up, just hoping we don’t go into a lack of confidence slide like we did last Jan, when we had so much to play for.
ANOTHER must win game without a doubt.
Others will drop points along the way, but we’ve already dropped our fair share. Gotta be a win here, and an away win always helps to give players a lift !
Be good going into the Xmas rush.
Close 1-2 for me.

That’s one thing that pisses me off more than anything. Klopp signed Karius to be the new number 1. He got dropped because of some sketchy performances but going back to the games vs Saints in the cup, he’s been a lot better than Migs and despite Migs costing us time and time again, and despite how well Karius plays, he always goes straight back to Migs now. Give the lad a chance to build some momentum, Christ knows the golden child Lovren and Migs get enough chances.

100% agree with you on this but Klopp has no love for Karius, are they from rival parts of Deutschland or something?

For a pretty switched on lad, which I tend to think you are.. you don't often come out with some sh*te  at times 🙄

That's the type of sh*te I expect to read from Ribapuru

Mignolet keeps beating Karius at tennis.

Can is suspended,  looks like lallana will be involved somewhere

Whatever about rotating outfield players, don't see how rotating the GK is a particularly good idea. Or even necessary.
For Karius, how is he supposed to settle in, get an understanding with the back4, build confidence etc. if only getting the odd PL start.
We know what Migs can do, and though Loris has had some ropey performances time has now passed and would prefer we start him for 5 or 6 matches to see how he does.
Unless Migs is our clear no.1, though that's something I'm trying not to think about too much.

I think Mignolet  is no.1... he had a slight calf injury for the West Brom game

Can is suspended

Thank F**k for that.

Yea, he plays regularly enough to assume that's what Klopp still thinks.
I didn't have Karius as MOTM against WB, but many did - maybe to build some momentum behind the 'Karius for no.1' campaign
Don't see there's much between them based on form right now, though Jürgen still seems to prefer Migs 

Need to turn up for this one 3-0 to the red men

Thank f**k for that.

Yeh  because we have loads of better options in the middle dont we

Would go with:

           Karius
TAA Gomez Klavan Milner
        Hendo Gini
Salah Coutinho AOC
          Firmino

But Migs and probably Lovren will start. Tbh, we have so few options at CB, it's hard to leave out Lovren. So much for there being no CBs out there Ain't gonna forget that comment for a while.
Mane has been out of form, and even though imho AOC still hasn't really contributed much so far, would give him a run.
Then would start Salah and Cou and Bob.  Though have a feeling one of them might make way for Solanke.
Would leave Can on bench too, form has taken a bit of a dip, and though Gini was a bit anonymous vs WB, would start him.
Could REALLY be doing with 3 points.

Can is suspended,  looks like lallana will be involved somewhere

Thanks for pointing that out FK10, I completely forgot.
Just think the way we played that night against Maribor, as sh*te as they were, it was a flowing forward thinking midfield with Milner in a forward role for the first time this season and Can and Winjaldum as cover.

Defoe will crop up on Sunday for sure ..He always does against us..
I can still remember that last 20 minutes when we were 3-1 up in this same fixture last season..Nightmare !!
I hope to God I don't have to witness anything like that again...ever!

Klopp should've started with Karius. Rotating the keeper doesn't make that much sense. Mig has had plenty of time to show he can be consistent and not be prone to mistakes. Could be a trade off, Mig can be brilliant, so may be Klopp can live with the odd stinker.

Probably see the fab4 back in their comfort zone, hitting team on the break with lightening speed, but if Klopp pitches up slightly over cautious it could go wrong. I see another first half blitz by us and come out sleepwalking for the second half.

Score: 7-4

Can is suspended,  looks like lallana will be involved somewhere

Can't wait to have Lallana back. Against his hometown team he'll be seriously motivated - that would be a slight worry for me, hate to see him over exerted/enthused and be ******** again.

I want to see Solanke again and more crosses to his head instead of pointless back and forth passing in front of their box. Sturridge would also suit this style. I also want to see Lallana, Woodburn and Ox from the beginning, later bring the usual suspects in.

So basically play a bunch of players in attack that in the most part, have never played together and give Bournemouth's defence confidence that they wont be facing our bigger players. Great idea...

Fella must be working on his Fifa '18 coaching badges.

Anything less than annihilation, isn't good enough.

Do you actually understand the basic's of football.

Wow

Got to to go for it, so Fab4 only this time get a proper bona fide midfield player in, one who can distribute the ball, marshall the troops, dominate from the center circle, put fires out.......laideeeez & gentlllllllmen....I give u.....the one & only....JOOOOOOOOOOOOrde eeeennnnnnnnnnnn........ .Hennnnnnnnnnder...son..

Ward must wonder WTF he's doing here,

He had the opportunity to stay as #1 for huddersfield didn't he, but we rejected it? Ridiculous decision by Klopp to stagnate his progression and stop him from gaining PL experience.

Or maybe some people actually thought Karius's contribution in the match saved us from ohtright defeat? And maybe you want to ask yourself why it is there is 'campaign' to get Karius as number 1?

Can remember him making 2 or 3 saves, distributed the ball well, generally looked comfortable - not saying he didn't do well.
And when it comes to the GKs right now I'd have Karius over Migs.
But can only go on what have seen of him and Karius in the past has also made bad mistakes, so I'm not massively pushed either way, neither has impressed me that much.
On most recent form though, Karius has done enough imo to get a wee run of games... doesn't look like it's going to happen though.

Tricky test this, B'mouth like to play so we need to be at the races here, wee Eddy is no mug and will know how to get the best out of his minions, Howe-ver😁, i think we'll be too much for them and will take 3 vital points from the vitality stadium.....

....i think we'll go with thus....

                              Mignolet
          Gomez  Lovren Klavan Robertson
                  Henderson    Wijnaldom
                              Coutinho
                      Salah              Mane
                                Firmino

Bench;  Karius, Trent, Ox, Lallana, Milner, Solanke, Ings

1-3 Mighty Redmen

YNWA

                         

our new bogey side, more rotation. who knows....probably another draw

I have come to a point where I don't care what team we put out, as long as we win, that's all that matters.

Well said

This was the game last season where we were up 3-1, then sh*t ourselves and lost 4-3 right? That game ruined my day !!

Need win tommory or we be 7 in league Christ that poor even aresanl head of us now their sh*t chelesa pull away so look like 4 between us spurs aresanl

Burnley even head us with F**k all sent money not sure we go forward as club klopp he should be by now have team fright for league

For a pretty switched on lad, which I tend to think you are.. you don't often come out with some sh*te  at times 🙄

That's the type of sh*te I expect to read from Ribapuru

It was meant a bit tongue in cheek from me, but in all honesty I really don't understand why Karius doesn't get a little run of games to prove whether or not he is better than MIgs.

That game still gives me F***ing nightmares!

People not think it disgrace we behind Burnley and out league title going find top 4 very hard lose tommory tough game away aresanl

In fairness they have played once more than us and if Citeh beat Spuds and we beat Bournemouth, as we bloody well should do, then we go to 4th, BUT we need to win tomorrow.

But try say klopp should have his team by now not going in next year rebuilt job because we going lose Phil one best players can leave bring in few players hope hit ground running

But should be hope win tommory if got 6 Points against west brim sh*t bitters one worse team see in years

Im likening this, best of what we’ve got, and we’ve another chance to get in to top 4.
Please lads, don’t cock up again.
If it’s the pressure of these situations which affect your performance, you’re at the wrong club.
Calm heads, fast feet. Let’s do it !

Would play the fab 4 but want salah and Mané to widen the pitch more and not play in field so much so we can stretch Bournemouth,  going to be a toughie but hoping we can exploit the space we will get

Six points and seven goals worse off than at this point of the season last year.

0-2.



Lallana back ?

Six points and seven goals worse off than at this point of the season last year.

0-2.



Lallana back ?

Don't think that stat means much as our form fell off a cliff after Mane got injured.

But yeah Lallana is back in contention to be picked.

Put Lallana in midfield alongside Coutinho from the start and all of sudden we have the ingredients to put 6 or 7 past this lot..
Keep him on the bench and play a slow build up approach and Bournemouth will suss us out.
We have to attack and grind the three points out against this lot..

My mystic meg head says lots of goals.. so i'm going for a 4-2 win

Salah taking the piss once again..

 

A must win for us. We need to get back to winning ways. After two draws I will leave the Live thread to others for this one!!

                    Migs
Gomez Lovren Klavan Robertson
                    Hendo
           Lallana     Couts
   Salah       Firmino     Mane
               

Migs and Lovren to start! We're gonna win this!!!

Expecting F**k all from this

That game still gives me f**king nightmares!

Was horrible to watch.

I doubt he will play the Fab4 + Lallana with Henderson. That an all out attack more or less. If Lallana plays one of the Fab4 will be benched so:

1/8 on Mane
Even money Firmino
11/2 Coutinho
33/1 Salah.

So it's Mane to sit this one out.

Need a win today, although actual result, almost impossible to predict ! Surely not another draw, go for 3  1 for the Reds.

I think we’ll see Henderson in with Can, Milner at LB (to rest Robbo from 3rd game in 8 days) and Lallana back in with Salah rested.

F**k knows what team Klopp will put out. No one can predict what the tinker man will do next.

I would like a win, please?

Good point.

Ox in for Mane...Fab3 and a bit..
