      Wouldnt start Sturridge, really!! We need to run at their defenders and with Mo out, Mane should lead the line. I think Jürgen will go with this tried and tested midfield, with Fab dropping to the bench (he was overrun by Newcastle a lot in the first half, probably workload!)

      Mane
      Origi-Shaq
      Milner Gini Hendo
      Robbo Virgil Matip TAA
      Alisson

      Subs: Mig, Gomez, Lovren, Fab, Ox, Sturridge, Mo?

      I would love if Jürgen fancies a 3-4-2-1 to give our full backs more license and not bother that much about tracking back, cos lets be honest, the supply is gonna come from those 2 than our midfield

      Mane
      Origi-Shaq
      Robbo Gini Hendo TAA
      Gomez Virgil Matip
      Alisson

      I like it but I'd take a punt on Ox starting instead of Origi. I'd be nervous of going 3 at the back though as I think Barca would F**k us in that formation.

      Klopp sounded really fed up and frustrated in that press conference. He is basically saying, we have little chance now, so let's just finish our last Champions League match with a good performance, and ideally a win.

      Yeah 3-4-2-1 is risky esp if Messi plays through the middle a lot and the 2 midfielders would be just passers-by. Think we'll most probably see Milner-Gini-Hendo.

      No Bobby and no Salah. It’s not happening this year. Them misses in the first leg have now become even more vital.

      Mo will play mate. He won't miss this one. He will want to put things right and can see him taking the Barca game by the scruff of the neck and getting us over the finish line.

      You were saying!  :P :P ;D

      All I can say is that this once again is a stark reminder that we NEED more than 3 quality attackers, get it sorted in the summer Jürgen, then we'll be unstoppable.

      That's sum dream. And messi suarez and couts not to score. Well be even bigger comeback than Istanbul. The wee fkn gnome be back to rolling round like first leg. Don't rate origi or sturridge no pace. If we had our front three for both ties I think we go through. Like last year's final losing salah when we were on top. These Spanish teams do anything to win. I play the ox shaqri and mane.

      Only trouble with this is how do you get a couple of quality strikers if they no there likely to be only a sub. Maybe rotate them round more next season. We need top quality two strikers who if Bob Mo or sadio is out can have similar impact and a playmaker be nice.

      Would be great, and maybe just maybe Barca might get a bit complacent hearing the team news. IN any case we have nothing to lose tomorrow so just go for it from the first whistle.

      Same problem Citeh have but they cope with it by rotating, its not a problem. I think we need one top player who can slot right in together with Brewster and then have Divvy as an extra option if needed.

      .....Rhian Brewster through the middle with Mane & Shaqiri either side, i know,  I know he's green as f**k, hasn't kicked a ball in anger etc etc, but, he's a complete unknown and totally fearless, if he can give us a hour, look, clutching at straws here but he's a natural and i think, why the f**k not, we're up against it anyway, Not too enamoured with Divock or Studge in a front 3 with Mane, reality is we ain't getting through to Madrid,  Not without Mo, Bobby & Naby,  so F**k it, throw caution to the wind and lets have a real f***in go at them, Kamkazi Klopp having a pop,

      Sadly it's unlikely we'll be gracing the Final this season, but I'd love us to have a real f***in go at them,  if we lose by 2/3 so be it, it matters not a jot, we've already had a incredible season , reaching the  semi again really is a fantastic effort, so let's not be too down hearted....next season...We Go Again!!

      Nice idea if he had ever played top flight football, but he would have to be Rooney'esque to be able to just slot into a game like that. I think it has to be Mane up top leading the line but I'd then play 2 extremely advanced AM's and have both full backs bombing up in support. I'd like to see Ox and Shaq as the 2 AM's then have a solid block in midfield of Milner, Hendo and Fabinho to cover for the Fullbacks and crowd out the middle as much as possible.

      That might work, I just hope Jürgen doesn't go with Studge and Origi replacing Mo and Bobby.

      Fact is all three are in summer tournaments also. We can’t go into another season where the only option is the 3 of them . Origi/Sturridge are useful but the drop off is enormous.

      I want Dybala or Havertz, both is acceptable.

      Whatever about our chances without Bobby, without Mo aswell really can't see it happening unfortunately :(
      Obviously will be hoping for the best, but such a shame injuries have caught up with us again.
      Would've been a tough ask even with those two lads playing.
      Might go with:

                            Alisson
                  TAA Matip VVD Robbo
                      AOC Fab Gini
                     Shaq Mane Origi


      Still in with a chance of both :) … but be interesting to see how things stand this day next week … not long to go now ...

      Yep,  sometimes i do tend to talk out of my arse, yours is a much more sensible option ,  i don't even think Rhian is registered as a  CL squad player anyway,  plz forgive my inane drivel,  it's that time year you know when my two brain cells re-align themselves 😜
