Pre Match : Liverpool v Aston Villa : Sunday 3rd Sept 14.00

So looks like it will be Joe and Joel at the back for this one fingers crossed no one gets injured, good job Matip was taken off early last week as I don’t think his body can cope with playing every week.

Interesting to see if Thiago is fit for this one.

Surely Nunez has done enough to start, Gakpo not really had a flying start to the season so far.

Villa seem to have improved from their thumping against Newcastle but we should still be too strong for them despite our defensive frailties.

Alisson
Trent
Matip
Gomez
Robbo

Thiago
Mac
Dom

Diaz
Nunez
Salah

Gomez was decent against Newcastle and I’m hoping he can have a very good season. We can’t rely on vvd to be the rock he once was.

5-0 nunez all 5

Our 2 starting centre halves out against a team on the up. I'll be astounded if we keep a clean sheet we will need to get a few goals I'd suggest if we want the 3 points.

Hate playing Villa, never feel confident, being at home though and hopefully Darwin starting I can see us causing them issues, still can’t see a clean sheet for us though… a tough 2-1 again I think.

confidence is everything at elite level and our boys are just off the scale now think we will put these to the sword. also great news is Tierney is at Luton so he cant do our game

Well it’s always a bonus when that c**t is not around 👍

they could stick him on VAR and we know what happened last time

Concerns over our defence just can't see us keeping them out . Have to start Nunez far more.goal threat than Gakpo for.me and I think we may need 3 so I am going with him

Alisson

Trent Matip Gomez Robertson

Dom Mac

Salah Jota Diaz

Nunez

Would be tempted to play Gakpo just in front of the midfield in place of Diaz and throw both Salah and Nunez up front but he didn’t offer anything of note and Diaz just had that electricity to him… hopefully Trent’s head is in this one too.

                 Alisson
Trent - Gomez - Matip - Robbo
                   Endo
          Alexis  -  Dominik
       Salah                Diaz
                  Nunez

looking forward to this now transfer crap is over lets just take teams apart

It's nice that we have 5 very good attackers to choose from, and will be great when we can compliment that with a selection headache in midfield once Thiago is fit and Gravenberch settled.  We still look fragile at CB, but overall I think we've done well with our business and we should be in line for a decent season. 

Hoping to see Nunez start and pick up where he left off at Newcastle.  Any win will do.  Just need to get into that winning habit and build some confidence. 

2:0 nothing else to say really 😊

Did you have too , was doing ok till you threw that spanner 🙈

Hopefully we won't have a repeat of last season when villa took the piss with time wasting etc

Interesting to see if Klopp reverts to the double pivot with Mac/Dom or stick with three man middle with Endoh. I am thinking with Gomez/Matip playing CB might want extra protection for them with Endoh. Think Gapko will be on the bench with Jota or Nunez in the middle.

A bit too soon, but wouldn’t be surprised to see this in the not too distant future, especially vs teams that park the bus;

Alisson
Trent   Matip   Gomez   Robbo
Gravenberch   MacAllister
Salah    Szobozlai   Diaz
Nunez

For Sunday I hope Bajcetic gets a run out. Still feel we’ve got an absolute gem on our hands there we need to ensure still gets opportunities.

Gravenberch can't play. So instead of him, I would would put Endo and then replace him for Bajectic around the 65th minute.

Difficult game.

A win against Aston Villa tomorrow to make it three victories on the trot. Villa may give us a difficult game, but I take the Reds to come out on top, in front of our fans at home !

Might take the view that Nunez is best away from home. Pace on the counter attack. Finding a place for Jota and Nunez is a problem but Jota did well out wide once or twice V Newcastle. Jota V Nunez.

Salah Jota Diaz would've been the shout V Villa but Nunez has forced his way into very serious contention with his brace.

Gakpo should be on the bench because he lost some spark. For me, Nunez should play from the start for this one.

Matty cash doing ok at wing back so need Robbo to keep him penned back and give him something to worry about pushing up
