      It’s clear our weakness is our ability to be compact whilst high up the pitch which klopp has mentioned, players are simply not getting into their positions to close down or close the space as he puts it quick enough

      We also are giving the ball away loosely, I have no doubt klopp won’t change his style but I hope he does until the end of the season. The key is to change our fluid system to a more rigid one imo as it’s all we need

      Alisson

      Taa- full backs with license to go
      Gomez
      Konate
      Robbo

      Fab sitting in front of the top two, in a rigid system

      Bajectic- next go fab sitting ensuring nobody can run through us

      Keita, again sitting in front a bit fluid, really making us solid, the two behind also may need to cover full backs and Keita must drop back

      Doak
      Gakpo
      Salah


      Just have 5 very compact and defensive to stop teams running at us, when teams have the ball, have a 4-2-2-2 like shape and 9 behind the ball at all times imo

      Make us hard to beat, try to take it to penalties, get draws instead of defeats, call it being negative but it beats watching us being ripped apart

      I'm expecting at least a fight from whoever start this game, for the club, for the supporters, for the boss and for themselves.

      Klopp should play this game like it matters. FA-Cup is our only realistic chance for silverware this season.

      True. I can't stand him playing Academy players almost every time we play a cup game unless we're in a semi-final. Losing this would be a big hit, and I would not be mad if he leaves after that. It's a must-win.

      Klopp is going nowhere.

      As for wolves ... who should he pick. Nobody is in form. You can't pick a team on names alone. I'd freshen it up and give some of the others a go. Can't do any worse cam they.

                                   Alisson

      Trent         Gomez            konate      Robertson

                            Keita            Bajcetic

         Doak                     Elliot                  Gapko

                                       Salah

      You've uncovered why we struggled last season in the Cups..........

      Not sure why the 4th round replay would be such a big hit, and what is wrong with people talking.about Jürgen leaving?

      Not sure what to expect against Wolves tomorrow. Showing some fight and not conceding an early goal, will do for starters. In fact keeping a clean sheet appears almost impossible nowadays.

      I' sill going for the win, but something deep inside me says it wont happen. Just gotta go out and give it 100 % and hope we get a win to create a bit of belief and confidence again. Certainly don't want too many youngsters in there. If the senior pro's don't do it, the youngsters will be decimated.

      COME ON YOU RED MEN. PRIDE IN THE SHIRT, LETS GET INTO THESE AND SHOW THEM WHO WE REALY ARE !

      With Klopps talk of going back to basics I'm expecting us to be more compact and less like the Milwaukee Bucks running forwards and chasing backwards all game long. Which I must admit is long over due for this team.

      Playing basic football and building slowly from there doesn't bide well for the next few games though, and only once we have built our way back to playing how a good Liverpool team plays will we start getting some results.

      For now I'm expecting our lads in a show of contrition to the fans and with a flee in their ear off themselves and the coaches to be more preoccupied in staying in their defensive shape off the ball than scoring goals so we might find our games are much lower scoring this next few weeks.

      This is a cup game and in the end someone will win today so if we keep it tight long enough we might nick something or get ourselves to penalties.

      Im guessing this back to basics Klopp is talking about will see our full backs play deeper and us have   less chances to score ourselves. It will take a bit of getting used to.

      What we are talking about here in the short term in ensuring we are compact won't get many off their seats and probably won't be good enough to actually win a lot games. Ultinately we will have to expand beyond the basics at some point.

      Klopps job now is ultimately to find the right balance but I applaud the basic sentiment of building back from the bottom up.

      Something has to change, even if it’s only swapping this player for that, along with arses being booted I’m all for donating spells on the bench for one or two of our regular shoe in starters…it’s a gamble but so is walking out your front door every day, you just don’t think about it…..I’d give this a go and if it doesn’t work we haven’t lost anything accept a wee bit of pride which is already damaged………..

                              Kelleher
                   Trent.Matip Konate Robbo
                       Fabinho  Bacjetic
                   Doak.   Thiago.   Gakpo
                               Salah

      It’s a bit light in midfield but, like I said it’s a gamble and we have to try something different, don’t want to see, Hendo, Ox, Milner, Naby, in at the start and only brought on late on or if absolutely necessary,

      I would like to see some of the academy lads on the bench too, we can have 5 subs so for me three of them used should be young lads either making debuts or taking another chance,

      The bench should look something like this….

      Alisson, Ramsey, Phillips, Hendo, Clark, Kostas, Carvalho, Naby, Jones,

      Have a feeling a lot of the team that started saturday wont start, klopp hinted that he just cant play them. basically sunday to rest, then light training yesterday for those guys.

      soo....

      ------------- Ali ----------------
      Ramsey - Philips - Gomez - Kostas
      --------  Bacjetic Naby --------
      ---- Elliott - Jones - Carvhalo ---
