      It's a New Day, Reds

      Watching football is way better than grumbling about referees, flawed systems, organized crime dynasties.

      Let's discuss. We play Ajax Amsterdam, at A field tonight if I'm not mistaken

      The only player who missed Saturday that Jürgen seemed to leave a glimmer for retuning vs. Ajax is Baby Keita, but only a slight chance. No Trent, Ox, Thiago, Shaq and now Millie.

      So I'm guessing
      Ali
      Neco, Matip, Fab, Robbo
      Gini, Hendo, Jota
      Mane, Bobby, Sàlah

      NB: Team no longer available

      We can't rotate because we do not have any available at the moment. I would sub in Origi and Minamino in the second half.

      Gini needs a rest, he's played a lot for both club and country recently.

      Not much room to manoeuvre with the rest of the squad - think it's between a 4-3-3 with Neco at RB or a 4-2-3-1 with Fabinho at RB.

      Tricky evening ahead of us either way, feel like we'll come out of it needing a result on the last matchday to go through.

      I would not sub in Origi or Minamino unless we are 3 goals up and in complete control of the game, we need to win this game!

      Should be strong enough to get the win.

      Agree, but is anyone available to take his spot? Doubt Klopp goes with an academy player like Cain or Clarkson in his place.

      Still playing for Ajax at 37.

      Weren't we interested in him at one time ?

      Non Covid keeper

      Williams
      Matip
      Williams
      Robertson

      Henderson
      Fabinho
      Jones

      Salah
      Jota
      Mane

      Jut thinking i might have to change my prediction, not just for the lack of available players, but also for our poor form. This on the other hand doesn't look bad. Young Neco being our main soft spot. Unfortunate that he's been dropped in with out the customary slowly slowly introduction and is being found out. Nothing more than whats expected we're honest, lets just hope he's learning on the job, and improves every game.
      Think Ill still change the prediction, but not as negative as I thought i might have to.
       Will certainly look forward to this, expecting a rise in effort and cohesion. Come on you red men. lets qualify tonight !

      Gone for a comfortable LFC win in the Prediction League and just not feeling it to be honest.

      Last game without fans at Anfield for hopefully ever.

      Not going to lie will take a draw and definate qualification tonight not being negative just realistic . Big decision on Fab can he go into Midfield and leave Williams with Matip ?

      Think we will have to fight for our lives for a point here. Not sure if Jürgen will name a full team or not but even his best XI is severely weakened and probably in need of a good rest.

      If Hendo is capable of starting I'd keep Fab at centre half alongside the Matip; I honestly think Phillips has done enough to warrant a spot against Wolves. We really need to get something from tonight to have a free game against the Danes where the main lads can have the night off.

      The thought of Neco playing fills me with dread; I've nothing against him but this all seems like too much too soon for him. Hopefully Trent will be back for Sunday.

      I'm not overly confident about tonight, fingers crossed we can just keep going and grinding out performances until these f*cking injuries ease off, because when we start getting bodies back I think we'll be flying.

      Tsimikas fills me with no confidence. We need Robertson in from the start.

      Put Fabs in midfield, Williams with Matip at the back.

      Neco in by default
