Apart from Keita or Chamberlain in midfield pretty much all we can do for a starting 11.

Personally would have went Keita for that bit extra flair in midfield.

How do Chelsea have the nerve to complain about their selection issues when they can put out that team?! Absolutely crazy.

Difficult game ahead of us today I feel.

We are super weak on the bench. Only Keita and AOC are worth it. Come on Reds. I'm not super excited for this match because of the COVID cases.

YNWA, make us proud.

That midfield does not exactly get the juices flowing in relation to creativity. Personally would have started Naby in there

Just turn up and get a win any which way we can

Exactly

Kelleher, Trent, Konate, Virgil, Kostas, Fab, Hendo, Milner, Salah, Jota, Mane

Subs - Pitagula, Matip, Williams, Gomez, Beck, Jones, Morton, Ox

Apart from a couple of the subs, nailed the team selection for the day. Hopefully my score prediction is just as good!


In terms of the line up though, would’ve preferred Milner to not be starting, not sure what he really offers in this kind of game. Seems a bit pedestrian IMO having him and Hendo but Keita on the bench.

So much for Thiago Silva being injured. Strong Chelsea line up and Pulisic tends to rip us a new one so need to be alert and on our game to get the win today. It’s not going to be easy.

Need Salah to up his game again, he’s been poor vs Spurs and Leicester.

Probably not much coincidence that Fabinho gets it and now Ali and Bobby do with friendship circles at the club

Big test today, win though with what we have out and it could catapult this for a massive run

Come on Red men

Exactly

Many good reasons to be fearful… for all the half empty people.

Tony Taylor for MOTM

Come on Red men

Massive run?

You do realise we will be without Mo, Mane, and Naby for the next month?

Miracle run more like to catch City now.

I wonder will this be one of those days where you just think its not going to work out and then the lads turn up and just blow the opposition away?

First 11 is strong enough, maybe minus that creative spark, we can only use 3 subs and we have 4 I trust to do a job

If, big if, Mane decides to show up then just might do this. VVD and Konate will be solid, that mid 3 wont get outworked....if we can get Trent and Tsimkas flying and the front 3 on song......

Because Tuchel is a whiny little bi*ch.

I hate chelsea, to the point where Id rather the sh*te and utd over them

Yeah, I thought Keita might be in for Millie as he’s available. Off Red more going forward, with Hendo busying himself in the middle and fab holding.
Think Millie will tire by half time anyway.

Question. Any reason we have not brought one of the young forward players in the squad. God forbid we lose a couple from the front 3 be no harm having an actual forward on the bench

Stronger X1 than i thought, lacking creactivity imho but I haven't seen Chavs X1 so can't compare, encouraged by the fact we're  strong centrally giving us a good platform, expecting long raking balls from Virgil & Trent and the usual gegenpress squeezing the space in the final third,
difficult to predict a score but I'll stick my cock out and say ......


.......1-2 Mighty Redmen


                                    YNWA

Come on Liverpool make or break now

Because Tuchel is a whiny little bi*ch.

apparently this is the word out of Germany all good when they win but spits the dummy out when they lose

Just seen Chavs X1....not changing my prediction....but I have put my cock away 😂
