thank f**k, f**k England Football team f**k Politics and state funerals thank god for Liverpool Football Club

couldn't agree more.

With Arsenal and City to come back to back next, we could desperately do with a win here.

You never hear until they arnt training on Thursday or Friday. I doubt we will get through a week of training without picking up an injury. Robbo was the last one :-(

Salah starts ... think I'm going to go Diaz left and Jota through the middle.

Virg with Matip flanked by tsimikas and trent.

Thiago fabinho and elliot in midfield.

3 points a must here with the upcoming games

Yea I think thats the team too.

NB: Team no longer available

I would play Darwin and stick with him.

Melo should show us what he is made of.

This and the Rangers game could kick start Nunez's season. Got to give him 90 minutes sooner or later.

This. As much as Brighton are a great team and I respect them, this is an opportunity to really put them to the sword.

Think Melo has been working on his fitness during this break, It's a chance for him to show he really wants it. I'm not convinced and I like many others will give him credit if and when he puts in a shift. Drifting in and out the way he has done isn't enough.

Diaz has to be encouraged to cut inside. This is his trademark, drop his shoulder and cut across the defender to his right looking for the shooting chance. Robbo or Timmy cut down the left pulling defenders with them, Diaz cuts inside, and blast one...top corner..1-0..

4-0

Would be shocked if Arthur starts. He was brought in ofr games when first choice players are injured or need rest.

That's my feeling as well. Will play in the domestic cup games. Will get minutes in the coming weeks but yes he's back up.

Agree. Melo is basically here to eat up Ox minutes in cups and be basically deep down in the depth chart.

If healthy, all of Hendo, Thiago, Keita, Jones and Elliott start ahead of him, maybe even Carvalho depending on how much Jürgen wants to fast track him. The only one who definitely should not start ahead of Melo is Milner, but other than that, Melo is not here to challenge for a starting spot. He's here for quality depth minutes.

Melo & Hendo probably 2nd half subs.

Excellent, let's take 'em for 6 points and see where we are on the Ladder after that.

First, we must beat Brighton!!!

That's the impression I'm getting as well.  Be very surprised if he were to start v Brighton.

Who is this "Keita" you speak of?

Be surprised if Jota was to start, he asked to be taken off with Portugal due to fatigue.

Really, that’s very interesting KK. As you know one of the reasons why I don’t think you’ve stared well is because of fatigue.

Who is this "Keita" you speak of?

he is sponsored by the NHS

Be surprised if Jota was to start, he asked to be taken off with Portugal due to fatigue.

Diaz played in the US and Mexico. 8,000km to get back here today. Shake off the jet lag, bit of a jog tomorrow, overnight in the hotel, bowl of cornflakes, neh bother....2 goals in a 4-0 win..

So no Nunez,Diazor Jota Jota and nunez  subbed hopefully just extra rest but Jota must be a doubt

Brighton after losing their manager is ripe for the picking and hopefully we can bag a goal or two early to allow ourselves to relax.

As far as the line-up I would go

-------------------Alisson-----------------
TAA------Matip----VvD---Tsimikas
-------Elliott----Fabinho----Thiago--
----Salah-------Firmino-----Diaz---

Be surprised if Jota was to start, he asked to be taken off with Portugal due to fatigue.

Maybe he did that so he COULD start for us Saturday.

Interesting to see who starts on Saturday, really think Nunez should be in the starting line up, needs a goal or two. Think Salah & Diaz will also start. Important to score an early goal, also nice to have Matip alongside Virgil in defence.

Be surprised if Jota was to start, he asked to be taken off with Portugal due to fatigue.

Too much shagging for that new baby
