Burnley 1-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

To all LFC Reds, I wish you a Happy Newyear. I hope all of you got to spend it with family and friends. May all your wishes and dreams come true and more importantly, may the Mighty Reds win some silverware!

The Reds are out to make it three Premier League wins on the spin by seeing off Sean Dyche's side, but it won't be easy up against one of the surprise packages of the season.

Mohamed Salah misses out with a minor groin injury, while Philippe Coutinho has a sore thigh. Simon Mignolet captains the Reds this afternoon.

Coutinho gone then

Gomez at LB?

Unless we are going 3 at the back.

Coutinho gone then

Waiting all day to see if he'd be on the team sheet :/

Just realized Simon is captain 😂

Coutinho should be on the bench in place of Ings or Woodburn.

Coutinho gone then

Yes mate. We’re lying to ourselves if we say his omission doesn’t mean anything.

Coutinho gone then

What makes you think that ?

This is strange - must be setting a new record for changes -let’s hope it works !
Mignolet captain

Could be 3 at the back that team.

No surprise with the changes - always going to happen for this particular game.  Bit disappointed with Mignolet but if we win then I won't have to worry about it.

Tough game although Burnley have gone off the boil a little bit recently.

How many changes have they made?

Hold on, Adrien Silva is on the bench for Leicester. HOW has he managed to be registered and VVD hasn’t?

Hearing reports Liverpool sueing Nike. Half the internet said it's from ESPN Brazil.

How many changes have they made?

Looks like Burnley are only making one change, not double checked but think we've made 7 since Saturday's games.

Well they couldn’t say it was his back.

This looks like 3 at the back to me. Theres no reason to play Gomez at LB when Milner and Robertson are on the bench.

Also to add who In Their right minds would buy Sturridge- he should retire

I've seen the web page, needs translating, but no real hard data on this, but this is the Live Match thread, so I won't go into any more details than that.

The 7 changes surprise me slightly but with the fresh legs compared to Burnley who have made only 1 should tip in our favour certainly in last 1/2 hour

yes. Same. Won't go into it further on this thread.

Coutinho (Thigh) and Salah (Groin) are expected to be back for the Derby this Friday!

These rumbles about Cou, the minute he isnt on the teamsheet, need to stop. I expect Klopp and FSG to keep Cou until summer. Barca look like they'll walk the league and he would be cup-tied for CL! We sell Cou for an astronomical fee, simply bcoz he wants out - get in Lemar and a sturdy midfielder in his place!

Not to bad X1 except captain tw*t between our sticks, changes were always going to be made so not really surprised,

Got to be honest slightly nervous about today but hey lets stay positive.

I'm a little disappointed Karius got dropped again. I was really impressed last week. I'd liked VVD to have made the bench too.
