Saturday night as well

Saturday night as well

Yeah and away as well, its all stacking up 😂

Lads who of been off need minutes here before Madrid. So Firmino , Fab, Trent , Phillips all start for me. Really think Naby should start as well Robbo and Wijnaldum might need a break in this one

Yeah I dont disagree but I just dont see Robbo not playing. Are Scotland in action or only a friendly? And has Tsimikas featured for Greece?

Scotland play as do Greece notice Tzimikas didn't feature in friendly after playing against Spain so will see. Probably right but if he plays full 90 again its a lot to ask will be five games in 13 days including Arsenal and Madrid

Don't ask for a link, but i'm hearing Gini's move to Barca might be off, and he's still not signing for us. IFF thats right, his head will be in a spin, so probably not a god time to play him. Especially after he was subbed by Holland and wasn't at all happy about that. Doesn't seem to be in a good place mentally right now, but who knows.

Anyone know what commitment the Arse players have had to make in the internationals, compared to our lads ?

Saka injured, or was a day or 2 ago anyway and the other younglad Nketiah is with Englands 21s isnt he?

A win against Arsenal, who have not been in great form themselves this season, would be a great start, to April's fixtures. Although a draw would not be too bad a result. Feel more confident playing away these days, the way things are going !

Hopefully we can get the 3PTS... still think we can get top 4 if we can get a run going.... will be a slightly weird game I reckon with both teams eyes firmly on the European ties particularly them. We need the W more so going for a 2-1 victory.

Going to be a good game with us being a bit stronger than them. 2-3 reds

Bar any late knocks in the last of the internationals and with the Madrid game Tuesday my 11

                       Alisson

         Trent   Nat       Kabak Tsimikas

                   Ox   Fab     Keita

          Mo/Shaq Bobby  Mane/Shaq

Keep Robbo Jota Thiago and one of Mo/Sadio back

Why in the f**k would you start Bobby, no need to be that nice to Arsenal, he can come on the final few minutes, same as Origi normally does. Seriously, Bobby is now back up, our front three for the rest of the season, barring injury and  fatigue, must be Mo, Diego and Sadio.

Because hes been sat in the training ground the last 2 weeks while the rest have been playing competive. Hell be mad to go and it gives a chance to rest Jota for Madrid

What kind of reason is that?? I'm sure Origi is chomping at the bit to start a game as well, but that's not enough of a reason to drop Mane, Salah or Jota!

F**k me think about it

Jürgen said before the international break that he thinks it'll be unlikely that we'll be finishing top four and I think that'll reflect in the selection on Saturday with the majority of the lads away on international duty that might face Madrid being on the bench.

Alisson; Trent, Phillips, Kabak, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Keita, Jones; Origi, Firmino, Mane.

Could see Milner in for Keita/Jones or even at LB.

You really start  all the lads who have played 3 internationals in the last 10 days against Arsenal even though we have a massive gsme Tuesday night?

Can't wait for this -- been too long without any decent footie to watch!! 

Jota must start.  Also, I want to see Keita get an opportunity with Thiago and Fab in midfield.  Fab can be the destroyer with Thiago and Keita given more license to get forward and be creative in the final third.  As such, I'd go for this:

Ali
TAA - Philips - Kabak - Robbo
Fab
Thiago - Keita
Salah - Jota - Mane

          Mo/Shaq Bobby  Mane/Shaq

Would love to see this lineup.

Yeah, need to build momentum.

Yeah, need to build momentum.

And why can we not build momentum if Firmino starts?  We wete quite lucky the Brazilian lads and Trent were not in action the past 2 weeks, we should use that to our benefit.

Try telling me that if We go Mo Jota Sadio and one, even just one of them gets a knock that ruled them out of Tuesday that this place wont go into meltdown that they were not rested.

People go into meltdown for any reason these days. Still have a chance to get top 4, playing against the likes of Comoros and Gibraltar shouldn't be too tiring.

Bobby was everyone's darling not long ago so if he doesn't start or get minutes against Arsenal after not playing for a month expected to play a blinder against Madrid if required not to mention  his record against Arsenal

Comoros are flying

Can't wait to see the lads back on the Park...miss them so much!

Havnt a clue about lineup, depends how the international boys are when they return.

Expecting ox to start this one, he was sharp in the last game, and seemingly been sharp in training, and its his old team.

erm becuase Bobby can't get a shot on target and has been sh*te this season, in any case who do you drop for Bobby, Jota who was scoring goals for fun with Portugal, Mane just finding some form again or Salah?

Whichever of the 3 after assessing are deemed most in need of a rest before Tuesday.

Tbe funny thing is I know you would be leading the charge in giving out if any of the 3 you mention miss Tuesday because of a knock Saturday or play sh*te because they are at 70%.. For me its choose your weapons, beat a very beatable Arsenal at full strength and not be right for Tuesday or beat Arsenal with Bobby Ox Shaq being used and having Jota and Mane or Mo  at 100% for Madrid

OR use the Arsenal game to get all the main players ready for Real Madrid, remember there will be a bit of rustiness after 3 weeks away from each other. If they are tired then have them just play one half or something like that but get the main team playing together.

Have to go full team, if we beat arsenal it will be incredible!!! It’ll change the feeling in the prem completely and then give so much confidence for real

It's simple,  we're still in with a chance of top 4, while that is we give it our all, so fullest strongest X1 V Arsenal, CL is a two legged affair so there's room for being somewhat cautious if any injuries occur V Arse,  if not, then again fullest strongest X1 V RM, ...

....ATM I'd be going with....

                              Allison
             Trent Kabak Phillips Robbo
                 Thiago   Fabinho     Gini
                  Salah    Jota     Mane

Bench; Adrian,  Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Bobby,  Ox, Shaq, Davies, Virgil 🤔


1-2 Still Champions



                                YNWA

Naby , Thiago and Fab for me midfield 3 Gini on the bench

Maybe trying Tsimikas? He cannot be that bad and Robbo needs some rest time or at some point he will get the bill from mother nature.

With any luck that was a wake up call for Trent being dropped by Southgate and we will see him back to his best

or at some point he will get the bill from mother nature.

You're deffo going to have to explain that phrase.

You mean he'll end up fu**ed!!

Don't care who plays, or how they play as long as we get the 3 points.

Maybe trying Tsimikas? He cannot be that bad and Robbo needs some rest time or at some point he will get the bill from mother nature.

I read today he sat out greeks games with an niggly Injury.  so cant see him getting a start, sub at best.

It's as simple as this.. must win game Saturday away at Arsenal full strength team out.
Must win game Tuesday against Real full strength team out.

Dont mind resting anybody for anything. Business end of season and we have to go for it.

Jota back scoring for Portugal - not sure why, but feeling like we can end the season strong.

Strong side out for this away fixture against Arsenal tomorrow evening, a win of any sort would be an excellent start, before our champions league tie against Real Madrid in midweek.

This all day long. Full strength, need a win tomorrow, and need to win Tuesday.

Will be good to watch the team again tomorrow.. Hopefully I still feel that way at full time.

Yet another 5am wake up call but always worth it COYR!
2-1 to the Anfield Reds.

Nervous now

Proper football is back, hallelujah! I really cannot get into International football at all, especially during these times, so good to have a Liverpool game to watch tonight, can’t wait. A win for the boys in Red to give us a boost for the run in.

Almost feels like the start of a new season

Gotta admit, I’m a little nervous, god only knows what both teams form will be like now after the break, but one things for sure, I hate losing any points to these pretty boys, so only a win will do for me.

Win and top 4 is back on. Anything else and it’s pretty much over.
We need to take advantage of Chelsea losing.

Not sure who will start for us but arsenal will sit back and counter which usually doesn’t suit us.

1-1

Now that Chelsea lost i am even more excited for today's game and even more pissed that i'm going to miss it. Being 3 points back with 24 to play after today would be massive and fill us with confidence.

For perhaps the first time ever i was happy for the international break. It has been such a tough season that i think getting rest for those who didn't go away and being away in a different environment for those that did is a good thing.

LFG Reds!

Get stuck into this gang of cockney wankers, reds!!

2-1 to the Redmen..👊🏼

Looks like Milner with fab and thiago in midfield with Bobby up front with mo and mane
