                      Alisson
      Trent - Phillips - Fabinho - Robertson
                      Thiago
                 Gini - Keita - Jota
                   Mane -  Salah


      Why oh why do you want Fabinho at CB when that has been part of the problem for so long now? Playing players out of position. He’s a midfield beast, let him do his job ffs...

      A sh*t load has happened between the first leg and tomoz, not getting away from the fact that domestically we’ve been absolute Pants, with lots of sh*t in them too, but tomorrow is a different target, a different comp and hopefully a different mentality,
      First leg from what I remember was a lot of worrying that we would get turned over, as it turned out however,Leipzig had about a good 35 mins throughout the  95+ but didn’t really cause too many dramas, well nothing we couldn’t handle,

      Alisson, Trent, Kabak, Henderson, Robbo, Gini, Jones, Thiago, Mo, Bobby Mane took to the field as starters, we won 2-0 ,

      We have all of those players available again with the exception of Hendo & Bobby, but do have Fabinho, Keita & Jota, kind of changes the dynamic me thinks,


      We have to play Fabinho at CB, Phillips next to him with Trent & Robbo either side, Gini as DM, Jones & Naby in midfield, and Mo Jota & Mane up top, two nil is a decent start, but not insurmountable, one goal against and their backs are up and our chins go down, I know it’s hard to imagine us actually scoring but with Jota & Naby back I think we pose more of a threat than the first leg,

      There’s more pressure on them because they HAVE to score and that could play right into our hands when they push forward, Phillips adds a bit of height for the set pieces and just has more about him than Kabak has, IF we can score early doors it’s game over so soon as we can do that the better.


                                                           Alisson
                                           Trent  Phillips  Fabinho  Robbo
                                                         Wijnaldom
                                                  Jones.            Keita
                                               Salah.     Jota.     Mane


                 2-0 European Royalty

      Alisson, TAA, Fabinho, Kabak, Robbo, Thiago, Gini, Jones, Salah, Jota, Mane.... I think this is what Jürgen is going to go with.

      Hopefully we just drop our defensive line back so they wont exploit our lack of pace.

      Couldn't care less if we lose 1-0 again aslong as we progress. A goal and a better performance would help restore belief though.

      COYR, need to win this for Jürgen more than anything

      Going for a scrappy 2-1 win, even when we’re poor we’re still better than them.

      A champions league win this season would be a greater achievement than 2005 in my humble opinion. Let's just get through this round and who knows.

      I agree that it would be an incredible achievement but if we prioritise the CL now, resting players in the league games etc plus find some long overdue form then why not.

      If for example we can get a solid win tomorrow then that should build confidence in the CL campaign.

      See I can be positive sometimes!!!

      I’m worried if we put all our eggs in one basket, then don’t win number 7...........
      While it’s still mathematically possible to get fourth place, we’ve gotta go for it. Other teams regularly go into meltdown at the run in. There’s always hope ‘

      4th place is gone mate. I still want to finish in a Europa league spot, so we cant just rest players anyway. Try and win every game from now to the end of the season.

      I'd settle for a draw right now.
      If Kabak fit would stick him beside Nat and put Fab in the middle, he made a difference there.
      Just get thro first - buys some time to improve before the next one.

      The key is evident there. One - two touch football. Moving the ball quickly unsettles the opposition, as long as your intentions are positive, and not passing backwards and sideways.

      Torn about Fab he’s still the best CB out of the non injured lot.

      Leipzig can be deadly in attack and Kabak and Phillips or Williams scares the sh*t out of me.

      I'd love to have Fab in holding midfield for this game. Put him in with Gini and Jones, Mane, Bobby and Jota and bring Mo on if we need him.

      I think we will either draw or win 1-0 tonight, surely Klopp will set up in a super defensive formation, anything else would be madness.

      Have a feeling we are going to boss this game tonight. We still have the best manager in the world, the best fullbacks in the world and a couple of the best forwards in the world. If that's not enough to win....don't know what to tell you.
