      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.    :f_doh:


      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 JĆ¼rgen 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

      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!!!!!

      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.

      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.

      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.
