Union SG 2-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Lotto Park hosting the Mighty Reds



Liverpool FC Starting XI: Kelleher, Endo, Konate, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Chambers, Gordon, Doak, Quansah, Bradley.

Liverpool Subs: Pitaluga, Mrozek, Gomez, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Scanlon, McConnell, Koumas, Hill.

Kaide Gordon makes his first senior appearance since January 2022 in Liverpool’s Europa League tie with Union SG in Belgium tonight.

The 19-year-old is back in the Reds’ line-up as Jürgen Klopp makes nine changes from the weekend win at Crystal Palace.

Curtis Jones wears the captain’s armband at Anderlecht Stadium, while there are also berths in the XI for Conor Bradley and Luke Chambers.

The only issue I have with that line-up is Konate, would have preferred Gomez to him but overall, many have been rested.

Can't argue with team, what most of us were calling for.

Wonder which sides Doak and Gordan will start on? Both normally right sided no?

It is a good exposure for them and give us a good idea what they can offer.

Agreed.  As second string as you can probably get away with.

up the redmen wee team. l o l

This was in the sky today in Alaska... I'm thinking the higher beings are Reds 

NB: Team no longer available


Solid spine to the team with youth in the wide areas.
Plenty to bring on from the bench.
Hopefully Konate isn't needed for the 90 minutes.

Agreed.  As second string as you can probably get away with.

Not even second string because Gomez and Gravenberch would have played.

Great experience for the young ones , nothing on the game as such , they can just go out enjoy the game and hopefully perform , ultimately they are playing in Europa for the reds Christmas wishes come early for some cmon lads give it a good go .

Surely Konate is only playing 45 mins here? Seems mad to play him with United game just three days away.

This looks like a U21 team.

Thought the Same and Endo also surely will be pulled at HT . Thought Gomez nailed to start maybe will replace.Konate

My word that's a young side. Give it your best lads.

With an average age of 22 years and 156 days, this is Liverpool's youngest ever starting XI named for a European match.....

Totally agree. Unless Gomez is partnering Virg on Sunday. Konate playing here really rules him out 3 days later.

Good chance for a few young lads tonight to show what they can do.

Nice stop Kelleher

Jones with his usual complacent attitude in possession.

Almost saved it.

Poor defending... Kelleher is no Alisson that's for sure...

What do you mean? He got unlucky if anything, the bounce got back to their forward.
