Pre-Match: Brighton v Liverpool, F.A Cup 4th Round; Sun 29th Jan. 13:30

Well I guess SOMEONE should start a pre-match thread.

Doesn't seem to be too much buzz online for this one. We are underdogs in the betting shops. Everyone seems disappointed we aren't bringing anyone in .

Nat Phillips and Fabio Carvalho new absentees for this one, illness and minor injury (although Nat is possibly moving out - we'll see).

I expect Nunez to be back in the starting lineup, along with Mo and Gakpo up front. Not sure about the midfield but there is no reason for resting anyone after a full week of training both behind and ahead. I hope we see  Bajcetic from the start.

What are you all thinking?

Ali, Trent, konate, Gomez  , robbo, thiago, bajetic, keira, gakpo, mo, nunez

Good line up, with one exception, I would go for Kelleher in goal. Hope for a much improved performance at Brighton tomorrow. Sticking my neck out, going for a 2  1win for the Reds.

We are actually slight favourites with the bookmakers.

Another clean sheet would be nice

My heart says 1-2 my head says F**k knows what Liverpool side are gonna turn up 🤷‍♂️

Just hoping for the best

Better not telephone in again. Need to make a statement here.

Ali, Trent, Konate, Gomez,Robbo,Hendo,Keita,Milner,Mo,Gakpo,Nunez,

Want to see us press from the top and the midfield put a serious shift in and get the feckin' thing up the front 3 sharpish. Very experienced line up needed here.

Ali
Trent
Gomez
Konare
Robbo
Naby
Thiago
Bajetic
Gakpo
Darwin
Mo

That's what I'd go for. I'd have milner at right back though to give us a complete unit at the back.

What this guy said. I'd have Milner, Matip, Hendo, Elliot, and Fab on stand by to see the game out. Although, atm Fab scares the sh*t out of me.

No Caicedo and Lallana for them. I'm hoping their morale is low with two of their better players trying to force their way out.

2-1 good guys

NB: Team no longer available

I would play like this because that are the best players we have available.

Kelleher
TAA
Tsimikas
Konate
Gomez

Bajcetic
Henderson
Jones or keita

Nunez
Salah
Ox

I would rather play Ox over Gakpo too.

Also gives us a few more options coming off the bench if things don’t go to plan.

Had a dream we lost 1-0 with Lallana scoring and then we had a good goal ruled out for nothing. I woke up fuming.

Bench;  Alisson, Gomez, Hendo, Naby, Elliot, Jones, Ox, Doak, Kostas, Molby

Was gonna have Thiago next to Baj with Harvey in the hole but I think we’d get overrun in midfield, hence me going for Fabinho for extra steel, Kells gets the nod over Ali, and thinks he should get chucked in for some league games too, he gains prem experience and will keep Ali on his toes,

Tough gig this as always, heart says ‘Desmond’, Brain says TU-TU and a replay ??

I would rather play Ox over Gakpo too.

Entitled to your opinion mate ... but Ox .... have you forgotten how bad he is? His last outing at Brighton a couple of weeks ago ... remember that. He shouldn't be anywhere near our first 11.

We just paid near 40m for Gapko. He needs to play. And hopefully he will and do well.

Agree.

Don't understand the clamour for Chamberlain to be anywhere near the starting 11. I'd play Carvalho over him as well.

Cavalho is injured isn’t he?

I’d still start ox personally. Will see what line up is in a minute or two

Some people don't understand football. 
Gapko all day and every day.

So if Klopp picks ox he doesn’t understand football?

Personally I’d start ox. When we race into an early 3-0 lead id bring on the new boy and rest a few key players

Like your optimism, settle for any win today !

We are due a good performance where all our shots squirm under their keeper!

Won't see the same performance twice.

Up the Reds.
