Red Star Belgrade 2-0 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Rajko Mitić Stadium waiting for us





Starting XI: Becker, Van Dijk, Gigi, Milner, Mane, Salah, Sturridge, Lallana, Robertson, Matip, Trent

Subs: Mignolet, Fabinho, Keita, Firmino, Gomez, Moreno, Origi.

 Liverpool make three changes for tonight’s Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade in Serbia.

Joel Matip, Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge are restored to the starting line-up for the Group C tie, replacing Joe Gomez, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino.

Naby Keita is named on the bench after recovering from a hamstring issue.

For a moment there, I thought who the 'dickens' is Becker.

We need this game so much. With 9 points we will be almost safe to qualify to knockouts.

I was wrong I when I said Lallana wouldn't start.

Think 11 pts might be needed depending on results so for me must win tonight

I hope Matip is on it for this, and Sturridge as well.

It looks a strong enough side to get the result we want, but also a decent bench if we need to make changes.

Tennis player.

Though I'm generally of the opinion that Lallana isn't first team standard anymore, he should still look like a top player today and I think it's probably a good idea to have some older and hopefully wiser heads on.

Come on reds.  Let's get in there, get the three points, and then all get to go to bed early!

Interesting thought.

Do you think he's been overtaken or gone backwards?

Ohh I was just one off with the team selection!

Great options off the bench but hopefully not needed.

I've gone off Lallana, he look reasonable with long hair.. then he cut it to look like  Lloyd Christmas

Great options off the bench but hopefully not needed.

Well said. I understand Klopp's approaching with the starting squad given the fact that it is Red Star we're talking about here.

COYR

Stupid kick off time but come on boys

More than happy with that team.

I’m glad Lallana is not playing in the front 3 this is his best position for us.

Think this will be tricky for a while & suspect they may nick a goal.  3-1 win in the end though.

COYR!!!

Worst kick off time ever.

UEFA needs to understand how hard it is to get kids off Fortnite to free the telly up at 6pm of an evening.

Haha. I'll be at my desk at work and will plan to eat and watch.

Couple yrs mate they’ll be as desperate for the fitba as you.

Trust me

I agree. Love the setup too. With Lallana, we should in theory have that attacking midfielder we have missed in Ox. Then I assume Wijnaldum will be the 6 and Milner a box-boxer. Such a balanced midfield.

We need to be wise enough to mute their fans!
