Pre-Match: FA Cup 4th Round: Liverpool V West Brom (27th Jan 2018 - 19:45)

A few changes but not too many. We have not won a trophy since 2012 so this again is our most realistic chance.

We do not need a replay and I expect a backlash after Monday. 3-0 Reds.

 

Couldn't agree more, but i see a similar game ahead as WBA will no doubt park the bus while we huff and puff our selves out of ideas.

Here's to proving me wrong lads.

YNWA

If Pardew parks the bus, I want to see Klopp go radical here and stick Can & Gini in a back 3 with VVD - Midfield of Robo - Lallana- Hendo - Ox - TAA, and usual 3 up top

We need to ram these bus parkers off the road

If this is anything like the league game at Anfield we will probably need 6 replays for a goal.

Remember the key point that every oppostion manager knows; you only need to get a shot on target to score.

this will be turgid. F**k knows who makes the decision to make it a live TV game.

I think he will start Moreno - to give him game time AND to keep Robbo on his toes.

A rusty Albie makes me even more nervous than a regular Albie but lad deserves a run and Robbo has played a lot of football recently.

Remember, there is a league match w Huddersfield just four days after this, and  home vs. Spurs the following weekend. Based on the last performance, Klopp may be tempted to go with changes. for either this one of Huddersfield. Actually he could make 11 changes if he wanted:

NB: Team no longer available

No, I do not expect this, but all 11 in this team could feature in one of the two matches,  maybe mixing it a bit. Clearly he does not like his players to play three matches in 7 or 8 days.

I know Sturridge from the above team may be offski and not likely to feature, but all of the above 11 play a reasonable amount (and Ings came on Monday). Not sure if Ben Woodburn will start getting first team runs out again, but if so, he could take Sturridge's slot in that above team. One thing about this XI, you'd have a strong bench for sure - maybe Salah, Mane, Ox, Emre, Gini and Joe, something like that.

Looking forward to something to think about other than the last match. Glad it is at least on Saturday.

If they park the bus deploy VVD as the striker and play Matip and Lovren in defence.

Third priority no doubt. 6-7 changes. Only thing we can be sure of is that we start with 1 keeper and 10 outfield players...all the rest is just propaganda..

Chances are they will field a weakened team and play for 0...

FA cup is secondary to staying in the promised land for the likes of West Brom. They will defend deep and try and do a Swansea on us.

After their defeat against us what did Man city do?
They went out and snotted Newcastle without a care in the world.
They then went on to brush aside Bristol City in what could've been a tricky game for them.
No hangover from Anfield whatsoever.

That's exactly the attitude we need on Saturday.
Forget about the Swansea defeat like it never happened because if we do we'll be in trouble.
An early goal always helps so West Brom will have to come out and play and that could change the whole flow of the game.
By all means play Solanke up top through the middle but for Christ sake feed him from the wings and don't expect to find big gaps through the middle because they won't be there.
We must be quicker in our build up play than what we were the other night.
Not sure whether giving Can the armband is a good idea. I'd give it to Van Dyke or Firmino.
Moreno or Robertson?...er..Robertson for me everytime.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's not many managers in football I despise but Alan Pardew is one of them.
He's a f***in fake, full of horse sh*t and a bell end.

Early goal = Large result
a boring no goals at half time = Get the blood pressure monitor out

West Brom have started to play a bit better in the last few games.
So could be tricky if we play like we did last time out.
Need big VVD to keep an eye on big Rondon.

Hopefully we get a reaction to the last game.
Could really do with a good win, and to stay in the competition.
Trophy would be nice this season...

Would be great to add a memory like this:

Looks like a night in front of the box watching this one, brother is taking my 6 year old nephew the match, his first game under the floodlights of Anfield.

I know FA Cup matches they usually give the whole Anny Road to the away fans but this looks like West Brom have just got the usual away allocation?

If so then it will certainly be a less combative atmosphere but also gives a bigger opportunity for a lot of our fans to get to the game who couldn't normally go.

It seemed Moreno still need recovery so I'd like to see the three CBs and play Milner as left WB with TAA on the right, imo it's better to rest Andy.
I'll be disappointed if not see Woodburn play some part in this agme, I preferred him start as CAM alongside Adam or AOC. 

I think this is a game Woodburn should get a chance, other than this we should be fielding regulars

And if Klopp doesn't you'll call for his sacking perhaps?

I said I think. Doesn't mean to say Woodburn is the best option, it's the best chance for him to get football as he's not been loaned. As for our goalie, Klopp has flopped here repeatedly and I have no expectations anybody will agree, I get it that Klopps a good guy and a good manager, but it doesn't change the fact he was so stubborn to admit he was wrong on Mignolet, he continued to play him long beyond any other good managers would have.

A plus for me it's an afternoon game so they'll be people in the pub.Negative, no sound on the telly... but it's on fox sports so not having to listen Alexi Lallas might be a plus. Is Henderson back? go 4-0.

If they park the bus deploy VVD as the striker and play Matip and Lovren in defence.

Daft as it may seem... especially for corners and set pieces.
Fellaini has been employed on numerous times because of his height for the Scum.
Jürgen ?
You reading this ?   
Boss idea this from H .

Must start for Sturridge this.
