Pre match: Leicester City vs Liverpool v EPL Sat Feb 13th KO: 12.30

Back in the saddle.

In a week when we gave up our title with a wimper the sad news of the gaffers mam passing also came.

However on we go. A battle now for top 4 and pride. These are a good side but one which I think let us be our best. On a personal note I would change a few things for this game.

. Trent.. Take away his defensive duties, let him go and be the baller he is.

. Go 2 up. Mo and Mane and give them the freedom to do what they want

If were loaning Kabak with a view to a permanent deal well sitting him on his arse wont teach us much so my team in a 4 4 2

                         Alisson
    Neco    Kabak     Fab    Robbo

    Trent  Hendo    Thiago Jones

                   Mo    Sadio

Look at hendo and Fab interchanging at various points of the game. Id also give Robbo and hour to 70 and then give Tsimikas a run. I think Robbo is on empty and by that stage of the game we wont get his best.

Lastly I think the boss should be excused for this one, if at all possible send him home for a few days to Germany

I think whoever is selected should try to redouble their efforts, to try and achieve something from this seemingly tricky away fixture. Playing Neco Williams a good idea, I have watched him perform for Wales, on the tv, he looks a decent player, deserving a chance at senior level.

Also think it would be sensible to give the boss time off, at least for this game. It would be at least the decent thing, for the club to do, for a manager who has achieved so much for Liverpool FC.

I like that but I wonder if another variation might be to play 3 CB's (Fab, Kabak and either Davies or Nat), until the new recruits settle and have Trent and Robbo in the middle together with Hendo, Thiago and Curtis with Mo and Sadio up top. I think that would give a really nice mix between attack and defence, plus it would give us the option of easily changing formation later on back to our default with Bobby coming on for one of the CB's.

I wouldn’t go changing the entire system the squad has been trained for the last few years, tweak it for sure but to completely change it when we are not at full strength wouldn’t do us any good IMO, I’d leave that until we have a complete  pre-season to try stuff out, but certainly not mid way thru, anyhoo, what I will change is Fab & Hendo as CB’s,

I’m not sure between the new lads who is ready yet, but I think we have seen that Phillips can do a decent enough job as one of the cb’s, and maybe Kabak in next to him, having had a full week’s training I’m sure they are more accustomed to what is required by now, it’s just a matter doing it I guess, so I’d go with......

...In a 4-3-2-1....

                                    Firmino

Bench; Kelleher, Williams, Davies, Milner, Gini, Jones, Shaqiri, Tsimikas, Jota,


I think once we have a semblance of our midfield back together with our balance, rhythm & fluidity we will see the confidence in the players soar, last season at the Kingpower for me was one if not thee best performances of the whole season, it was first V second and the pundits were touting draw, but we went there and absolutely battered them from start to finish and the 0-4 result flattered them, in truth it could have been 6 or 7,

Leicester are a decent side as you would expect from a Brendan Rogers team but they are no match in terms of quality, their reliance on Vardy scoring as their main hope is a bit feeble, they have good players in  Ndibi, Maddison, Tuleman & Barnes but up against a side like ours or City the seem to go missing, anyhoo enough of them...

I expect us to be in total control and with a strong midfield trio can see us totally dominate play, I doubt we’ll see the same 0-4 thrashing as last season but I do see us starting a good run of wins.



 1-2 Champions




                                                                            Y  N  W  A

Let's try a game with our best players in their best positions....that means Fab or Hendo need to be back in midfield. Jordan and Fabhino play in midfield for me, so that leaves one of Gini or Thiago to miss out. Phillips and Kabak at the back. Rest of the team picks itself.

As this is an away game, I am much more confident. Our home form is obviously terrible.

If we don't play Henderson and Fabinho in the defence then we should be fine. I prefer Philips with either a new CB or Fabinho in the defence. I am going for LFC win 1-3.

I know people will be apprhensive about tactical changes, " now is not the time " type of thing. Well if we dont win Saturday with the same tactical formation, will the time be the derby? If its not and we dont win the derby will it be time to change in a must win v sheffield, considering our form against that type of team.

We need to be brave. we need to try something new. But we cant keep putting the when to do it on the long finger.

If Im Rogers Ive my plan worked out for Liverpools 4 4 3 with the full vacks the outlets, the 3 in the mid will look to control the game but in effect are not a threat therefore if I nulufy the full backs it lessens the impact of the front 3.

So why not stump him..In my team you still have 2 attacing full backs but now 2 genuine threats in wide mid areas plys 2 lads in the centre who xan create. Also 2 front men now with the freedom to sit on shoulders or pull wide or drop deep.

Spot on, totally agree, we have to change some things around, especially at home as its simply not working.

Big question is whether Jürgen will start one of the two new FBs [almost no chance of both] at the weekend.
I'd love to see Fab/Hendo/Thiago in the middle, but at the same time, mistakes at the back can cost a game.
We've been decent in away matches, so maybe there's no rush to bring them in for Saturday.
In saying that, we've some huge games coming up, especially Leipzig, so sooner the likes of Kabak get blooded in matches the better.
Given the games coming up think playing one of them against Leicester is worth the risk. But Jürgen sees them in training, so...

If we play 4-4-3 we should win every game

There home record is WON 5 LOST 5 and drawn once. So it’s not exactly a fortress.
Vardy is back which means they have a threat.
This will be difficult. Last seasons performance there was near perfection and afterwards I knew we would win the title then.

Personally I would start both new signings. We need our midfield back to its best and that’s with Henderson and Fabinho in there.

Allison
TAA
Robertson
Davies
Kabak

Henderson
Fabinho
Thiago

Salah
Firmino
Mane

2-2

I fancy this as a very tough game what with the speed of Leicesters attacking players. I initially was going to put this down as an away loss, but there is no way I can allow myself to have that as a possibility, so away win on the cards. Can’t allow the smug one an opportunity to get one over on us...

                     Alisson

TAA       Kabak     Davies      Robbo

                Hendo      Fab

                       Thiago

    Salah         Bobby         Mane


Back to winning ways with this team.

I honestly don't think tactics are our problem.

In the end it's down to player performance. Player performance has been impacted by a number of things, chiefly injuries.

In the end, the players selected need to step up and deliver quality performances. When they do, we win most of our matches, as we've shown in the 2-3 seasons preceding this one.

Hamann has pointed out our bang average results from the end of the lockdown last summer. That may continue until we get a proper close season and the benefits from the usual Klopp pre-season training regimen (we definitely did not have that before this season). But for now, it's imperative on each player to dig down and battle well.

Doesn't matter how we lineup or who we lineup, if the players don't get their head out of their ass we're not winning.

Arnold has been shocking defensively directly costing us goals. Alisson gifted 2 last game. Mane missed a header from 5 feet out against City, Salah missed a sitter in the first couple minutes against Brighton. The list goes on and on with individual mistakes / misses.

With everyone having basically had a week off i imagine everyone will be available except those with long-term injuries (and Nancy Keita). You go with the best players available.

              Alisson
Trent - Kabak - Fabinho - Robertson
                 Hendo
       Thiago    -     Gini
Salah    - Firmino    - Mane

Fancy us to win comfortably. Had a week to lick our wounds and an additional week of training for the new lads to settle in. Huge game for Leicester who have the chance to make a big statement in the race for the top four, which I think will benefit us. I've noticed a few occasions where this Rodgers side seems to be on the cusp of establishing themselves as one of the big boys, but then end up being brought back down to earth with a defeat. Think the same will happen again on Saturday

Just play Kabak and Davies at CB Please.

It will be anything but easy I’m afraid mate 😫

I wouldn't be totally surprised if we never see Ben Davies on the park.

Fab and Kabak for me, with Phillips the first sub at central defence.

I can see where your coming from Brian but I really don’t think it needs much of a change tbh, it hasn’t been working because we’ve had to play both Hendo & Fab as CB’s and obviously not in their respective favoured positions, that will change now that Jürgen has more options at the back,

I would be inclined  to have a go with one of the new lads in with either or Phillips, Fabinho, or Hendo before ripping up the system altogether, I think we all agree that having Hendo & Fab at the back hasn’t worked and has made us more vulnerable as such, so getting back to a system most are familiar with aside from the new lads, I believe is the way forward, preferably with both Fab & Hendo in midfield,

If nothing changes then for sure maybe a system change is what’s needed but again not mid season, we seen against Spuds & WhU that we don’t need drastic changes for us to perform near to our best, it’s clear that our midfield has suffered without the protection of Fabinho and the energy of Henderson, having those two with either Thiago, Gini or Jones will IMO make us a much better and more dangerous animal.

Should but clearly are not

Any idea what pace the new lads have out of interest? I like Nat but we know hes not lightining.

NB: Team no longer available

Then I will insert Shaqiri and Wijnaldum at around 65/70 minute.

It will be anything but easy I’m afraid mate 😫

Just not really phased by this Leicester team. Good on the eye against the smaller clubs, but I've noticed on a few occasions over the last 18 months or so that when they come up against other top 6 sides in certain crunch games they massively underperform. Can't see Rodgers setting them up with a low block either, so I'm expecting plenty of space for us to create opportunities

No Fabinho tomorrow

No fabinho tomorrow but hopefully back for Tuesday

No Fabinho tomorrow

Precaution for Tuesday or is he fcuked??

Not too sure what to expect from this weekend tbh... Part of me hoping the lads all rally together and put in the performance of the season for Jürgen after that week or two he has had. Part of me also feels that training etc will have been bitterly disrupted due to the passing of his mother & him not being 100% physically or mentally for the lads.

Seen a few say Leicester come unstuck against bigger teams - Didn't they beat Citeh 5-2 away from home in Sept?!

Will we see one of new guys start, will Philips perhaps start too.

We all really want to see hendo back in MF, will this happen.

Oh so many questions.

Fabinho out. 

https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1360189618537324547?s=19

Standard

No Fabinho tomorrow

Hendo and Gini at CB then. 

Can't be bothered with these press conferences  all doom and gloom Jota no nearer either

Right lets see the 2 new lads so .Get Hendo back in the middle.

Very difficult game to predict, Leicester should at least attack. This leaving spaces at the back, it depends whether our forwards can take their chances when they come. A draw would not be a disaster, but obviously need all three points. Great same if Fabinho is ruled out through another injury.

Little niggle apparently

Why is it none of our players can play through a "little niggle", are the physios a bit over protective??

Right lets see the 2 new lads so .Get Hendo back in the middle.

I agree, F**k it, chuck them in, Hendo is much more useful to us in midfield

BTW am I right in thinking that Virgil is the only CB we have who can normally to be relied on as regard to injuries, Matip, Joe and Fabinho all seem to have a tendency to pick up small injuries throughout a normal season.

I think Joe has only been serious injuries to be fair

I think Joe has only been serious injuries to be fair

Didn't Joe miss quite a few games last season with muscle injuries etc?

So they break down and are out even longer 😳


Great thinking Einstein!

Great thinking Einstein!

Are the Man Utd players breaking down for longer than ours, I am willing to bet at least a couple of their player play through "little niggles", either that or they are immune to injuries and fatigue this season!

BTW there wasn't need for sarcasm, it was genuine question from me, it does seem as if our medical department are overzealous OR perhaps our players are simply weaker. I don;t know but I think its an interesting question.

One of those centre backs will be making their debut then.

Good luck to whoever it is, but will be another gane for Hendo at the back.

I think Joe has only been serious injuries to be fair

Yeah bit of a misconception that he's injury prone when, in reality, he's been pretty damn unlucky with big injuries

Man Utd run our medical department by the sound of it

Any idea what pace the new lads have out of interest? I like Nat but we know hes not lightining.

I don’t mate, Nat isn’t the quickest I agree, and we have yet to see Ben or Ozan, so we’re a bit up in the air as far as pace is concerned, and now the news Fabinho is out has probably fu**ed up any plans we had for the CB’s V Leicester, it’s almost certain we’ll see Hendo as one of them, Fabinho was critical to playing two new lads from a protective point of view, with Henderson in a more family role, I can’t see that happening now unless Jürgen throws caution and plays two rookies with Hendo as DM protecting, but, I can see Vardy’s eyes widen as we type ?

Like you alluded to before, it’s one step forward and three f***in back at the moment !

Out of interest why would it be easier for Vardy against Kabak or Davies than against Henderson? I know both of them are new to the club but the role of a CB isn't that different from club to club is it?? I know that you need to work on keeping a line etc but surely that's as tricky for a converted midfielder as it is for an out and out CB.

I'd play Kabak and Nat in this game, Nat has played enough games now, and must know enough German that he could control that CB pairing.

Think he's alluding more to the situation of both CB's playing together for the first time. We all know how crucial it is for 2 CBs to have a good understanding of the other

F***ing hell absolutely no escape for us at the moment.

Hendo will be at the back I’m assuming so this is going to be an uphill task without him or Fab in the midfield.

Season is a write off.

Just need to work our bollox off to finish in the top 4 now.

Not too fussed if we go out of the CL next round as we have no chance of winning it this season, and it will only district from our top 4 efforts.

I get that but why would a midfielder playing at CB have a better understanding of what to do that a dedicated CB?  Factor in that both new CB's have now had a full week of training with the team so whilst they may not yet be 100% integrated I'd rather give Nat and Kabak a go and release Hendo back into midfield than once again have Hendo at CB and an ineffective midfield.

Like what have we got to lose at this stage by not starting our new CB's? Maybe they have a stinker and we lose but it's not like we're expecting to beat Leicester anyway.

Or maybe they play well and we have a functioning midfield again with Thiago free to create chances for our forwards. We won't know unless we try it!

Its actually a great question about physios Heimdall. A niggle however can be anything such as muscle tears and what grade they are, ligament strains, dead legs, bruising of tissue etc. There is a duty of care legislation that physios have to abide by and they also have to listen to the needs of the patient. They also have state of the art equipment that will show most instances of injury that may have been missed years ago. So I wouldn't  say that the physio/ sports science department are being over zealous but more about taking precautions for the longevity of the players career.  In terms of players, I feel like although some of us feel players are pussies, but I also believe the game is so balanced on fine margins nowadays that if you cannot play at 100% you may not only make mistakes, not make appropriate tackles etc but also increase risk of further injury. Sorry for long post but I find this stuff really interesting.

Someone mentionef the phtsio on here a couple of weeks ago. The lad we got back in from Arsenal, they had a full waiting room with injuries when he was there accoring to the poster!

Simple statistics mate, neither Davies or Kabak have come up against Vardy before nor I don’t think has Phillips, your choice of Nat & Ozan is fair enough but only had we had Fabinho protecting and Henderson in midfield that won’t happen now I don’t think, it just seems that we can’t catch a break in terms of our injuries , here was a opportunity  to have both Hendo & Fabinho back where they belong only for yet another injury to F**k it up !

Why don't we let them worry about us for a change and use what great players we have to win the game, rather than worrying about a striker who may catch us out twice in the game regardless of who we play at CB.

Hope your right Baz, I’d love for us to just have a go, but, I just can’t see Jürgen being so gung ho, but you never know, we’ve had a full week’s training so it could well be that that is exactly what has been worked on ?

Did you attend the Harold shipman school of medicine?

Now we are going to start second-guessing the physios with even less to go on then the second-guessing of the managers

So much expertise among us.....

Hendo and Phillips the centre backs in wins vs West Ham and Spurs. Still expect Kabak to debut.

Is Thiago out as well ?

Is Thiago out as well ?

And Gini trained seperate from the squad also. Bare bones.com

If Jota is still up to 3 weeks away from even training, that’s a month away from playing. So March. Was it really worth sending minamino on loan? Even if klopp thinks he’s sh*te don’t we want the option? Now we just keep rolling the front 3 out every time even when they’re out of form. Or of course Divock the competition winner...

Gonna kick back off now. Sunday was a proper punch in the face wake up call.

1-2 Reds

Sounds like he may be saving his first choice midfield for the UEFA game midweek.

Gone for a narrow 2-1 away victory for the Reds, here's hoping for the best !

No Fab is a blow. I suspect Jürgen will play Hendo at the back again next to either Nat or Kabak. I've got no clue whether Kabak or Davies should play cos I've never watched either of them. If Gini is out too it might force Jürgen to play Hendo in midfield and then we'll probably see one of them + Nat.

Tough game, tough circumstances, not least for Jürgen personally. Still think we'll win. Have a feeling it could be a high scoring, topsy turvy one.

Feel as though he's been a "few weeks away" now for about 3 months

Gonna be a toughie game this, all we can do is our best and hope they have a bit of an off day, I'd actually be quite happy with a draw, although I'd love a win, these are getting too big for their boots as far as I'm concerned and I'd love us to get one over on them, whoever plays, let's just give them our full support especially Jürgen at the moment.

It started in December......Typical PR from the club to mask their lack of CB reinforcements

Hendo and Gini at CB then. 

I’d try Origi... proper piss boiling move 😂

Is Thiago out as well ?

Get fu**ed!!!!! No way? Please tell me this is a really bad F***ing dream!

Little extra chatter in the neighborhood lately Cas?

Origi and Adrian at centre back.

They've had a rough patch her lately and they played an extra game this week. They lost James Justin and that b***ard who tried jumping Robbo. They're hurting right now. We get em tomorrow, 2-1

Origi and Adrian at centre back.

😂


F**k me Robby... can you image that pair trying to play out from the back.. 😳

Get fu**ed!!!!! No way? Please tell me this is a really bad f**king dream!

Don't think Thiago will play any doubts will save for Tuesday

Not expecting a result today, I love Klopp and this team but just feel we are still too fu**ed to get anything

Last time we played a 12.30 on a Saturday....

On Carra, Bri, I'm not sure if you've seen but I put a link to a pod with him on in his thread. Fantastic stuff, get on it.

Seen you post that too mate. Will def get on it.

New to the podcast scene myself, started listening to Crouchies when I'm out walking and I think it's brilliant.

Few times I've been walking down the road near in tears laughing. People probably thinking I'm a right div.

Any other suggestions?

I'll DM you some that I listen to in a bit mate

Prepare for meltdown if Hendo and Gini are the centre backs today!

In all seriousness I expect Hendo to start in defence with Kabak or Davies.

Kabak starts

I feel this is the game that we turn things around, going for 3-1 to us. We’ve got to be positive, there’s so much negativity around everything at the minute, the lads are going to lift our spirits!

Any other injuries yet?

Gini and Milner with CJ in mid.
