Pre-Match: Liverpool v Derby - League Cup - Wednesday 9th Nov 8pm

Kelleher

Ramsey
Gomez
VVD
Kostas

Henderson
Ox
Elliot

Carvahlo
Bobby
Doak

True


Phillips instead of VVD


Milner instead of Doak with Ox playing in the front three

I think Bacjetic should get a run out

Yep good shout

Let me re do my team 😂

Gomez
Phillips
Kostas

Bacjetic
Milner
Elliot

Carvahlo
Bobby
Ox

Kelleher
Ramsay
Phillips
Gomez
Tsimikas
Hendo
Milner
Bajectic
Ox
Carvalho
Jones

All didn't start the last game, wouldn't be surprised with this lineup

Start Nunez, let him run riot.

Not fussed about who else plays other than wanting Carvalho and Bajectic to get some game time.

4-0 win.

I think Bacjetic should get a run out

This!!

                               Kellerher

Ramsay       Gomez          Virg             Tsimikas

     Henderson      Bajcetic     Chamberlain

      Doak                Firmino          Calvalho

Something like that. A few guns on the bench just incase.

Nat Phillips and Bobby Clark both played 45 minutes for the under 21s which may be a sign. Hopefully as per last season v Leicester there are some old heads on the bench

Ah yes ... maybe Phillips in for virg on my team above. Forgot about Nat.

Going for a 4  0 win against Derby, with a blend of youth and experience in defence of the League cup. The first of two trophies picked up earlier in the year.

Play as many of the non first XI as possible.
Saw McGoldrick scored a first half hattrick there last week or so, maybe will keep Nat busy.

Attack is the area that's tricky to rotate given we've got no options there. Might be a case of trying one of the kids from the start?

Kelleher; Ramsay, Gomez, Philips, Tsimikas; Milner, Bajcetic, Jones; Oxlade, Clark, Carvalho.

I am fine with this team in the context of.our fixture list and league position, but we need to be prepared to lose with it.

Does anyone know the status of Kaide Gordon. His injury must have been a bad one.

Deffo play Nunez - he needs all the minutes he can get

Forgot all about Kaide…
I’m sure he was supposed to be back months ago.

NB: Team no longer available

I would play this way.

Aye thats probably not far off it man.

Cant see Doak starting, maybe bench at best.

Yeah possibly not mate. Maybe push Jones into that front 3. I'd rather chamberlain in midfield.

Klopp may start strong see if we can get a few goals up then rotate. make loads of changes on 60mins.

Dont think it will harm Nunez getting another game under his belt even if its just an hour.

Alot of our bench players need minutes. Bob isn't going to the WC ... he's a rhythm player sometimes so I'd start him. Gomez, bejcetic, Ox, milner, hendo, tsimikas, Ramsay, Jones, Fabio ... all could do with minutes ... as you say maybe make changes 2nd half.

No Milner so expect Hendo to start possibly with young Bajetic

Bobby is 7 without a goal I think and looks absolutely knackered. We’ve overplayed him the last couple of weeks as we’ve got no one else so I’d bench him for this one so he’s a bit more fresh for Southampton.

This makes sense, as long as we don't go too weak overall. Get it won first. Then make the changes, don't go behind and have to chase the game !

Going to need someone down the middle maybe Bobby and Darwin 45 each.  Ox isn't going to finish the game so will need all our subs

Out until after the new year.

Not on the telebox tonight and saturday is a 3pm KO.

Streams it is then. DOH !

At the moment we just need to put strong teams out and win games and build momentum. I'd have no issue with Darwin playing tonight ... confidence , form and results come with confidence. Use the squad yes ... but we've only tonight and Saturday and then nothing until after Xmas. Strong team out ... get the job done ... make some changes. We are defending this trophy 🏆

Team tonight is

Kelleher
Ramsay Phillips Gomez kost
Bajectic
Ox Clarke
Frauendorf Stewart Fabio

Hopefully the younger players can shine tonight.  Interested to see a couple of them under the lights of a midweek cup game.  Haven't seen much of Doak so hope he gets a run out.

Derby look like they have got a similar-ish looking record in the Championship as us in the Premier League this season - should be a pretty competitive game.

I think Klopp will still playa few of the stronger players but would expect to see Kelleher, Ramsay, Bacjevic, Kostas, Ox, Phillips, Carvalho and Milner (if he's fit?) all to play.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Hendo and Jones get a start as well.

My line-up prediction is:

Kelleher

Ramsay
Phillips
Gomez
Tsimikas

Oxlade-Chamberlain
Henderson (c)
Jones

Salah
Nunez
Carvalho

Subs:

Adrian (GK)
Mabaya
Quansah
Chambers
Elliott
Bajcetic
Clark
Firmino
Doak

Rested:

Alisson
Alexander-Arnold
Van Dijk
Konate
Robertson
Fabinho
Thiago

Injured:

Matip
Milner
Keita
Arthur
Diaz
Jota

DOH is right.  Might just have to listen on de wireless...

Pep ljinders talked about scousers scoring goals so good luck to Layton Stewart tonight against derby

Could have meant trent or Jones. I want to see a strong team tonight. We're done till boxing day after Saturday. Can't imagine we'd rest players for the WC.
