      cant wait for tonight every game is just so special now. Team selection , not sure what Jürgen has in mind with the Chelsea game coming up but we need to continue our fantastic run of  form.

      Think Trent is fine, robbo's suspended. Millie in for Robbo !

      Unless you've heard something more about TAA. ?

      Just that Trent hasn't been very good lately, I think he needs a sit down. He's been ok going forward, but defensively almost every team we play is singling him out and taking advantage of his penchant for wandering and not getting back.

      Don't think he'll leave Trent out. He did lack a bit of intensity V Soton and he needs to up the defensive side of his game but Klopp will be aware that benching him might knock his confidence. Careful handling required. Also could be TAA needs a few games to get back up to full speed after being injured.If Robbo had been available Klopp might've put Milly in for TAA but he'll probably play Jim lad at Left Back.

      TAA starts every time for me. Top top player

      He had a weird period on the pitch.  Shane Long at one point was travelling about twice the speed of him, and then the next he was powering down the wing and pumping that cross in for Keita to head in.  Not sure what was happening with him.

      Team selection , not sure what Jürgen has in mind with the Chelsea game coming up but we need to continue our fantastic run of  form.

      I don't think it's going to be a big factor the Chelsea game.  5 days between home games is as good as a week between aways I reckon!

      He has been very hit and miss lately, think Saints is one of his worst performances of the season, seemed completely out of sorts, one good ball in for Keita and that was about it.

      Id be shocked if he doesn't start with Robbo being out. If Robbo had been able to play then I think Milly might have come in for Trent in this game because otherwise we'd have Moreno at LB which wont happen...surely?

      First 20 mins is important, we had the worst 20 mins of footy of the season at St Mary’s at the start of the game on Friday, need to start sharp from the off tonight.

      Going for 2-0 with a VVD header and Bobby no-look finish.

      I didn't think so.
      I think saints just surprised us with how pumped up they were.
      It goes like that a lot at the end of a season, but very few teams can sustain that intensity, which is why we score so many late goals.
      We just grind them down as they run out of steam.
      I can see us grinding out a win tonight as well.
      I don't think this will be easy.

      We love Cornwall mate and stay in Crantock - chocolate box type village one bay round.

      It’s beautiful mate.

      Newquay itself is pretty rundown but all uk seaside towns are.......there are a bunch of pretty cool bars / restaurants though.

      Make no mistake, 5-0 aggregate last year, Porto will be ready for these games. Going to be tough, but I can see us grinding out 2 wins against them.

      Oh, now I remember, you told me about this before.

      I just remember Newquay being horrendous from my visit many years ago.

      The Mrs loves it down there and has friends down there.
      Can't remember where though, more down near the bottom I think.

      Back on topic - hope the lucky seats work out  :D

      Thought I was going to miss this but got out of work early.

      It's a game we can win and I think we will.

      Swap Milner for Robertson and I agree.
