Pre Match : Napoli v Liverpool : 3rd Oct : 20.00

Win this one and we are virtually guaranteed to go through but despite Napoli losing at the weekend make no mistake they are a very good side.
Similar to ourselves and City in the way they like to press the opposition.

In Insigne and Mertens they have two players who are very tricky and we will do well to contain.

I would imagine Klopp won’t want to make too many changes so possibly the fact that Milner has played twice in a week, Mane has not had a rest for a while and will be needed against City.

Possibly Daniel gets a start.

Hopefully VVD ribs are not too sore after the weekend game.

I just read on the internet ribs can take between 3-4 weeks to heal, so I too am hopeful for VVD to be fit

I just hope Jürgen breaks this boring midfield and does spice it up with Keita or Shaq. Sturridge should also get a start. Save Firmino for the City game. I'd be OK with a draw, but a win would certainly help to re-establish our winning attitude.

Keita for Milner and Daniel for Sadio the changes I expect. As  much as for rotation, al though both incoming players are worthy. Sadio has started every match this season, and James  8 of 9 including the past two.

Let's start finishing some of more of these chances, boys.

So we keep Henderson based on his outstanding game against Chelsea? Unless Klopp's instructions to Henderson are get the ball, panick, and pass back to CB and repeat then I just do not understand why Klopp keeps playing him.

Bigger game on Sunday so if VVD is in any doubt id leave him off.

Also Gini Hendo Milner must not be on pitch at same time ever

Same Gini, Hendo & Milner that got us the last Champions League final?..😕

I don't get where the negativity around those 3 comes from..

Its called moving on. Not enough creativity coming from the trio or runs from deep which is what I believe Keita does well

Agree with Keita needing to play just not sure quite up to speed yet and is being eased in

NB: Team no longer available

I would start with Studge in place of booby and Keita for Hendo.

Will not be an easy game though, but we can do it!!

By "got us to the champions league final" do you mean the 4-2 loss in Roma?

Agree with Keita needing to play just not sure quite up to speed yet and is being eased in

Even if only at 25% I'd play him as Gini, Milner and Henderson equals zero creativity as Gini and Milner have to come back to Henderson his 5 yards passes to the side.

By "got us to the champions league final" do you mean the 4-2 loss in Roma?

No, he means the whole run in the knockout phase. So almost every game in that run, including smashing Porto away and taking apart City and Roma at home.

Not sure how Napoli plays under Ancelotti as I haven't watched them this season yet, but I do know they got destroyed by Juventus, so I expect some kind of backlash on Wednesday and for them to give 110%, it's gonna be a very difficult game.

We love a European away tie. Firmino, Mane and Salah love it too.

I think this is where we see them click.

Confident of a win here

Kevlar for our travelling fans after last time!!

Yeah, I think we can beat them too, just hope it's gonna be an easy game, don't want our player to overexert themselves before the City match

Think Mane needs a little rest.  Also think Studge, Shaq, and Keita should all rotate in to keep legs fresh and players on their toes.  As mentioned by another poster, if VVD needs to nurse his ribs to get back to full health then bring Matip on in his place. 

I'd go with:

Alisson
Clyne - Gomez - Matip - Robbo
Hendo - Gini
Keita
Salah - Studge - Shaq

No, he means the whole run in the knockout phase. So almost every game in that run, including smashing Porto away and taking apart City and Roma at home.

Was that a midfield which included Ox or Wijnaldum? You see this is my point if you have some creativity, Ox, then it sort of works but with those 3, Wijnaldum, Milner and Henderson we lack any creativity and against the best teams we suffer, as we did against Roma away and also in the final.
At the moment my preferred midfield is Wijnaldum, Milner and Keita and if we want to get very attack minded then swap Milner for Shaq.

I really hope you are right because we'll need someone to score some goals against Citeh. If Bobby and Mo fail again on Wednesaday then I'd be very tempted to shuffle the pack and start Sturridge and Shaq against Citeh.

I think you will see a couple changes from the team that faced Chelsea on the weekend, I expect Shaqiri and Ketia to be put back in the starting line-up. Going to be a very tough match Napoli are a solid team with a lot of good attacking talent and this is a must win for them after dropping points to Red Star so i expect them to come out intense. I think line-up could be something like this

----------------Alisson----------------
TAA------VvD--------Gomez---Robbo
-------Ketia---Hendo----Gini---------
Salah----------Firmino--------Shaqiri

Hope it goes like the preseason game

By "got us to the champions league final" do you mean the 4-2 loss in Roma?

So you’re picking out that loss and ignoring all the wins that got us that far. High brow intellect right there. Childish doesn’t even cover it, come back with some big boy pants on next time squirt.

Same Gini, Hendo & Milner that got us the last Champions League final?..😕

Despite the same Gini, Hendo & Milner we got the last CL run, not because of them. They are decent, no doubt, but not top quality because they are 3 "workers", what we need is 2 "workers" and one magician. Keita or Shaq could fill in that role. I bet Jürgen thinks the same way. You can almost feel how he'd love to ax Henderson, but can't because of his status.

Maybe a 2  0 win for the Reds, especially as Salah's goals, have dried up a little recently. Someone will surely score on Wednesday night,  against Napoli.

I would start with Studge in place of booby and Keita for Hendo.

Will not be an easy game though, but we can do it!!

I'd start with Firmino, because Sturridge is better than anybody at scoring a goal coming off the bench. He destroys tired defenses... If he started I'm not sure he would be as effective and we'd be left with a weaker bench.

I understand why you would bench Mane. In the last game he refused to pass to a player who had an easy chance at goal... That was at 44 minutes if anybody cares to look. I can't be doing with that kind of football and it's happened a few times this season. It's annoying because his potential is outrageous... I'm sure Klopp must have been furious. Other option is to give him a verbal bollocking and start him I guess.

I really hope you are right because we'll need someone to score some goals against Citeh. If Bobby and Mo fail again on Wednesaday then I'd be very tempted to shuffle the pack and start Sturridge and Shaq against Citeh.

I'm not sure benching Salah is a good idea yet. 3 goals in 7 games is bad for Salah, but considering he is not center forward I don't think many players will do much better. Salah has potential, he will realise it. This season will be tougher though because he's going to be marked a lot.. when he plays often 2 men are in his proximity, he's creating a lot  of space just by being picked, it's almost like playing against 10 men.

I really hope you are right because we'll need someone to score some goals against Citeh. If Bobby and Mo fail again on Wednesaday then I'd be very tempted to shuffle the pack and start Sturridge and Shaq against Citeh.

We need to score goals ?, wow thanks for pointing that out mate

I'd start with Firmino, because Sturridge is better than anybody at scoring a goal coming off the bench. He destroys tired defenses... If he started I'm not sure he would be as effective and we'd be left with a weaker bench.

Like against PSG where Sturridge started and scored a goal in the 30th minute then Firmino came in from the bench and scored the winner?

You know - you've made good posts on here before, and made intelligent arguments whether I agreed or not with your position. But in the last several months I think you have made virtually every thread on these boards the "Heimdall doesn't like Hendo" thread. It's like if you go to dinner and they ask what you want to drink you answer "Hendo is a negative, sideways passer." You don't like him. We get it - like 100,000 times. Just....please don't feel so obligated to insert it into every conversation.

Other option is to give him a verbal bollocking and start him I guess.

I found Mane vs Chelsea was bad for slowing down the attack and dwelling on the ball too much and like you mention couple times made the wrong decision inside the box. I would sit Mane just for the fact he has started every match since international break and Shaqiri looking good I think chance for him to show what he can do plus if we are down goal Mane would good option off the bench.

This was our team last time we played at Stadio San Paolo.

Got a point and a clean sheet too.

So you’re picking out that loss and ignoring all the wins that got us that far. High brow intellect right there. Childish doesn’t even cover it, come back with some big boy pants on next time squirt.

The point I'm trying to make is that as soon as Ox was out of the team, the creative element, and we only had Hendo, Milner and Gini as our midfield we started playing considerably worse or do you disagree?

I was responding to someone who wanted clarification on my position, sorry if it bored you, but hopefully it assisted the person who asked me the question.

I would sit Mane just for the fact he has started every match since international break and Shaqiri looking good I think chance for him to show what he can do plus if we are down goal Mane would good option off the bench.

So you'd bench the only attacker who looks likely to score for us, that's absolutely genius! :-) If anyone needs benching then its Salah and Bobby until they can find their mojo again.

This was our team last time we played at Stadio San Paolo.   

I'm actually struggling to remember all their names, I think its a coping mechanism, the brain deleting painful memories etc. That was under the reign of Hodgson wasn't it?

I'd start with Firmino, because Sturridge is better than anybody at scoring a goal coming off the bench. He destroys tired defenses... If he started I'm not sure he would be as effective and we'd be left with a weaker bench.

I agree with this; he's proving himself as a massive impact sub, which is a great ace to have up our sleeves, plus, given his injury track record, fewer minutes on the pitch means he's less likely to get crocked.

This was our team last time we played at Stadio San Paolo.   

I've supported Liverpool for over 40 years.  Pretty sure I've wiped this side clean from my memory banks as I have no recollection of ever supporting THAT team!!

Its another good test for this team so far they have come through virtually every challenge this season even the Chelsea game they dominated the second half and should have won.
We seem to have slowly but surely eradicated the "shoot yourself in the foot " moments since Jürgen arrived and that helped especially in big away games like this. I just cant see us getting beat and have gone for a 2-1 win

This was our team last time we played at Stadio San Paolo.   

Wow ! Those were the days eh

3-1 to the Redman Salah to get two

Departing to Naples.

Full Throttle in their faces football for me, they won't fancy coming up against us cos they know we are better.....

.....                       Allison
        Trent Gomez Virgil Robertson
                       Wijnaldom
             Milner                 Keita
          Salah                        Mane
                          Firmino .....

This is what I'd like to see, get at them non stop for a good hour + then freshen things up, if the score is favourable we can rest one or two...Same X1 against Shitty on Sunday ...then we can rest your Milner's, Mane's etc, get these two games out of the way , then reassess how we are fixed,

The league is and always should be priority, CL is a bonus but it's a good measure of how we're regarded by European clubs, we are after all Royalty having won it 5X.....anyhoo...

Lets get at these fuckers right from the start and don't let until we're 3 up at least.

C'MON MIGHTY REDMEN!!!!!


YNWA

Napoli coming home from RSB with only a point was a major set back for the CL ambitions.
Factor in their inability to score even one goal against the bottom team of Group C.
Despite this match being only the 2nd game of 6 in this round, this is a must win for Napoli.
If Liverpool can take charge in this game, it could get very ugly inside that stadium.
Italian football is like no other. The players are comically demonstrative. They eagerly cast blame on fellow teammates. And the crowd can turn ugly very quickly.
Even better, their owner has publicly bitched that Liverpool was under seeded.....essentially laying the groundwork for a later excuse. Perfect
The pressure is on Napoli to score / to win....which leads me to believe we may see end to end action similar to many of Liverpool's CL games last year....with lots of space in the middle to move the ball through

Last year Chamberlain was the man with his bursts through midfield with the ball. Opposition feared his pace, providing even more space. Liverpool was at their best during CL when Ox was in.
Contrast that with Henderson. Verses Chelsea.......he played hot potato with the ball.

If Liverpool can take charge in this game, it could get very ugly inside that stadium.

It'll be ugly from the moment our fans get there. Definitely a case of get in, get the win, get out!!

Still fancy us to nick all three points.

So you'd bench the only attacker who looks likely to score for us, that's absolutely genius! :-) If anyone needs benching then its Salah and Bobby until they can find their mojo again.

Mane recent form over the last month hasn't made him undroppable and like I said before he started every game since international break so I would rotate him give him rest.

This was our team last time we played at Stadio San Paolo.   

Is it bad that I can’t name the 2 between Spearing and Carragher?

NB: Team no longer available

Safe trip to travelling reds. Notorious spot Naples

Klopp asked how a manager's relationship with players has changed over the years:
 “I’m not as smart as Ancelotti but I’m smart enough not to answer this question."

Mo to Dejan: "The camorra, yeah we'll sh*t em' lad!!"

We beat PSG so this is no longer a must win game. A win would obviously be great, a draw good but even if we lose it won't be the end of the world.

Because it's not a must win game and because we have city on the weekend, id be happy for klopp to make some changes tomorrow night.

I'll start by taking virgil out. It's reported that he has had a bit of a knock for a week or two now so why risk him? Take him out and put matip in.

I would take both Wijnaldum and Milner out and put in Fabinho and Keita to play alongside Henderson.  I don't want Henderson to start against city so he can play in this game. Keita has had less minutes and should be more fresh than both Milner and Gini so he's the one who id be playing tomorrow as well as city. I'd also like to see Fabinho get some minutes against an Italian side which may suit him a little more than premiership football right now.

Sturridge deserves a start after his wonder goal at the weekend and I'd take out both mane and salah. I'd play Bobby on the left and shaqiri on the right.

Alisson

Trent
Matip
Gomez
Robbo

Fabinho
Hendo
Keita

Shaqiri
Bobby
Sturridge

Come away with a draw and it's been a very good night.

                                                      Keita                                   Wijndalum

                               Salah                                                                             Mane
 
                                                                          Firmino

Milner will be up for City. Could play Lovren for Van Dijk, or Clyne for TAA, or Shaquiri for Mane. However that is about it. Don't go flat out and we should be ok for City match.

It is good to see the lads really enjoying their training,no sour gobs and they all look like they want to be there.Well done Jürgen Klopp for keeping a happy squad.

Who is the big boy with beard at 1:00 ?

Ive never seen this before?

Is this something they do before every away game the clapping stuff?

Jürgen or Bobbo...who has the best teeth ?

Don't think so. Usually Klopp speaks to the players as a group before the session, and often this is when he'll speak about birthdays, or something that's happened. I've seen a training video before where he leads the group singing happy birthday in dutch to Van Dijk, so it's probably something like that.

I don't know how that group hug thing works, I guess it's like that old training game you had where you were dribbling around, coach blows a whistle and you all have to sprint and stand together in a box, last one in loses. They do it all the time in the weekday training, always seems to be put a smile on the players' faces.

Come away with a draw and it's been a very good night.

I disagree completely. We go to win every CL game especially the early group games to take the pressure off. If we top the group we will likely have an easier draw in the next round.

We will be up for city irrespective of the game tonight. I would be more concerned if we were playing Burnley at the weekend that we would not be focused.

That a fair point, I think I'd only rest some players if we can get a few early goals and seem to be in full control. I actually fancy us to win this fairly comfortably and it might please please please be the game when Bobby and Mo click into action, we'll need them against Citeh.

I agree with Sturridge, coming on, from off the bench. In fact could he be our new "Super sub". Meanwhile strongest side possible for tonight's game against Napoli.

In the CL groups, most of the time 10 points will see you through.

As long as you win your home games and get a draw somewhere away it should be enough.

Because we've already beaten PSG at home and Napoli drew away to Belgrade, there's some breathing space now. Tonight is no longer a must win game.

I'm not bothered about topping the group. Once you get to the knock out stages then there's very rarely an easy tie.

Would be tempted to play Clyne, Shaqiri and Sturridge for this one the more I think about it.

Again I'm not a real fan for saying this but would be satisfied with a draw and a clean bill of health heading into the big one Sunday!

If we win, I'll be damn happy, a draw will be pleased,  lost the game will not be a disaster. I think it'll probably be a draw.

Losing any game is disappointing, but their run of form with the losses against red star and in the league, 3 points are for the taking. An away point would be satisfactory though.

Not Clyne, no chance. He's not done enough yet. He should get his chance in the FA Cup.

One of ours hospitalised last night but released in early hours after a bar was attacked by rats on mopeds, just seen a report then on SSN.

Had that “drill” at training last night. Coach shouts either to get in to groups of a certain number or jump on someone’s back and the person leftover has to do a forfeit. Good laugh to be fair.

Alisson and Bobby birthdays were 2/10

I'd rather just get it done, though.

So would I but city is a bigger game. The focus should be on that.

If klopp thinks his 11 against city can play tonight too then I'm all for it. But I don't see the point in risking it.

Would be stupid to play virgil tonight and he agitates his injury putting him out for Sunday. There's no need to risk it.

Some good names in their squad. But nothing we shouldnt be beating

One of ours hospitalised last night but released in early hours after a bar was attacked by rats on mopeds, just seen a report then on SSN.

Such a scum the attackers are. Very low....

Wishing our lad speedy recovery and all of them can have a safe trip home after the game.

Not Clyne, no chance. He's not done enough yet. He should get his chance in the FA Cup.

Just think Trent will need very frsh legs for Sane Sunday!

We beat PSG so this is no longer a must win game. A win would obviously be great, a draw good but even if we lose it won't be the end of the world.

Because it's not a must win game and because we have city on the weekend, id be happy for klopp to make some changes tomorrow night.

I'll start by taking virgil out. It's reported that he has had a bit of a knock for a week or two now so why risk him? Take him out and put matip in.

I would take both Wijnaldum and Milner out and put in Fabinho and Keita to play alongside Henderson.  I don't want Henderson to start against city so he can play in this game. Keita has had less minutes and should be more fresh than both Milner and Gini so he's the one who id be playing tomorrow as well as city. I'd also like to see Fabinho get some minutes against an Italian side which may suit him a little more than premiership football right now.

Sturridge deserves a start after his wonder goal at the weekend and I'd take out both mane and salah. I'd play Bobby on the left and shaqiri on the right.

Alisson

Trent
Matip
Gomez
Robbo

Fabinho
Hendo
Keita

Shaqiri
Bobby
Sturridge

Come away with a draw and it's been a very good night.

Not often I disagree with you H, but on this occasion I do, that midfield of your is as weak as F**k, Hendo struggles at the best of times to find someone going forward. especially when up against quality opponents, Fabinho regardless of his experience in European competition is still trying to find his feet in a Klopp X1, and Naby will be lost without his mate Mane to guide him thru 90+ mins,

I can understand your concern bearing in mind this weekend's encounter with this seasons runners up, however, for me to progress thru the group stages of the CL its pivotal to maximise points asap, and we have a better chance of that with as strong a side as possible,

Like I mentioned in my post above, if we can get these next two big games out of the way we can rest one or three of the usual suspects, also there's another of those damn international breaks coming up so additional time off for players not on international duty,

Fullest side possible for both of games for me.



1-3 for the all conquering Mighty Redmen



YNWA

Yeah I agree. Clyne played well last week against the chavs so I would play him today for definite.

Tight caggy game. Hit them on the break- Fabinho, Keita and....er...somebody else in midfield...up top...3 of those footballers...one's whu can kick it fairly straight. Boots not supplied.OK.

0-1

Yeah I agree. Clyne played well last week against the chavs so I would play him today for definite.

I forgot he played against Chelsea actually.

I heard Milner will start.
