CF Monterrey 1-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Khalifa International Stadium waiting for the European Champions


Starting XI: Alisson; Milner, Gomez, Henderson, Robertson; Lallana, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Shaqiri, Salah, Origi.

Subs: Adrian, Lonergan, Firmino, Mane, Jones, Alexander-Arnold, Williams.

Divock Origi leads the attack for Liverpool in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final with Monterrey in Qatar this evening.

The striker is joined by Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri in the forward line for the encounter at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Adam Lallana, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain make up the midfield, but Virgil van Dijk misses out due to illness.

Hendo at CB?

Seems that Virgil, just like yours truly, has got the shits.

Henderson as central back and Milner as right back.

No Virgil :-(

Hendo CB, Lallana starting. Well, safe to say this isn’t our strongest line up.

But still, should be more than good enough still.

Seems that Virgil, just like yours truly, has got the shits.

Could have man flu like me.

Come on the reds.

Well, safe to say this isn’t our strongest line up.

Let's hope this doesn't backfire and we've not underestimated our opponents here.

2 goalkeepers on the bench?

No Virgil :-(

I honestly think that Klopp is testing how we could play God forbid if VVD has Man flu (as JD said )

He deserves a rest.

2 goalkeepers on the bench?

We had space so why not include them both.

Mmm

Still should be enough to beat Monterrey, I'm going with a 3-1 victory.

And that's the answer as to why there were no senior players left behind.

2 goalkeepers on the bench?

Doen't matter. Can only make three subs.
Firmino, Mane, Trent.

God forbid, if we draw, is it extra time or penalties immediately?

Well that makes the game a bit more tasty !

Lets go for the "Lets batter them 8-7" with that midfield and attack

The squad looks mighty thin at the moment with the injuries.  We only have 4 players on the bench that have had a league start.

Only got Adrian, Trent, Mane & Firmino on the bench...
Squad looks thin because it has been augmented with youth during the season and two of them are on a plane over to the first team now.

Injuries certainly starting to stack up though.

OK hands up who picked this team ??  Interesting to see how this works out and is it a nod to the board we need another CB

COYR

I think it goes to extra time, a couple of years ago it went to extra time between Real Madrid and a team from Japan so I assume they haven't changed the rules.

Hopefully the team on the pitch give an opportunity for at least one of Williams and Jones for a cameo.  Our squad is getting to the stage that it will need them soon.  Also the fact they missed a good opportunity to play yesterday.

Shame Virgil is ill, but we're still very strong without him. It'll be a close match but we'll win this!

No Virgil...🤢💩

Hopefully we will win this comfortably ...
