      I dreamt last night that Joe Gomez scored but I can't see Slot playing him (I wish he'd at least bring him on instead of the ineffective Kostas).

      Can't see Slot starting Endo, Quansah or Gakpo either but I think it's about time Nunez got a good 70' to prove himself.  The pressure's on but I think we'll lay Saturday's performance to rest and have a good game, bringing the 3pts back to Anfield.

      What..you dreamt that Joe Gomez would score..

      I'm going to swim the channel before breakfast, climb the Eiffle tower and be back in Liverpool before chucking out time..

      Well you started it..

      Need 3 points and to show that NF result was a fluke. There are goals in this game for us. My buddy is a Milan fan and said everyone in their fan base expects a loss.

      Not making changes now is asking for trouble, there is no more "if it aint broke, don't fix it" to hide behind. These are players, not robots.

      Alisson
      Bradley Quansah Virgil Kostas
      Endo Grav Nyoni/Morton
      Salah Nunez Gakpo


      I would take a point now if it were offered and get the F**k outta there.
       





      Iā€™m all for making changes mate but throwing young inexperienced lads under the European bus wouldnā€™t be one of them, I kinda agree to youā€™re Not wanting to see theory and that applies to Grav more than most, we canā€™t afford to become over reliant on certain individuals, so Iā€™d be resting Gravenberch for this one,ā€¦.

      ā€¦so since weā€™re in mad line up mode hereā€™s mineā€¦.

      ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.         
                                Allison
                 Trent Quansah Virgil Kostas
                        Endo.       Jones
                                Macca
                     Chiesa.  Nunez.  Gakpo


      Bench : Kelleher, Bradley, Konate, Grav, Szlobo, Diaz, Salah Jota, Robbo

      Donā€™t expect us to be fleet of foot or to be in their face hunting for a 0-3, a nice solid performance avoiding defeat would suffice for me, this new CL format is a marathon within a marathon, the group we are in is pretty tasty so any points away from home will prove extremely beneficial further up the pipe, also itā€™s the ideal time to rotate and use what we have at a time where itā€™s more than vital,
      Resting major components and allowing fringe players valuable game time minutes, weā€™ve been guilty in the past of over playing players who eventually are run into the ground,

      So use what we have more often, and switch players in their positions, 60-65 mins then change, Kostas for a hour, then Robbo to the end for exampleā€¦.do the reverse next league match ?



      Is Chiesa ready, nice tie to find out isnā€™t it, heā€™ll be chomping at the bit for sure, Gakpo hungry, Nunezā€¦F**k knows but it will be fun, dependable midfield, reliable defence, whatā€™s the worst that can happenā€¦but it wonā€™tā€¦.


      Heart says 1-2, brain cell says we wonā€™t lose !!

      I doubt he'll be used but the only real youngster I've included is Nyoni, mainly because I've been impressed with what I've seen and should therefore be rewarded, and it's more of a 50/50 with Morton.

      I think a game like this would be better to ease him into than any Prem game (except for 1 where we're 3-0 up with 10 to go).

      Remember a certain 18 year old Morton starting at San Siro only a few years ago? Klopp put his trust in him, played the 90 and never looked out of his depth. We won the game comfortably 2-0.

      Sometimes itā€™s just a lack of common sense

      We arenā€™t going to be playing the likes of Nyoni away ar Milan or Morton

      Also donā€™t expect 7 changes

      There maybe one or two but thatā€™s it

      Ok.

      Bearing in mind we did play an 18 year old Morton at Milan 3 years ago, who wasn't as good then as Nyoni is now. Let me guess, you'd rather Curtis Jones?  :lmao: :lmao:

      What about the other 10, or is that the only issue you have personnel wise?

      That was Mortonā€™s second game in the CL after playing against Porto

      Jones will play ahead of Nyoni

      He's done nothing to deserve playing ahead of him, you can disagree all you like.

      Maybe we could start that new #6 we si......oh wait.

      I suspect those 2 will come in too.

      23 man squad for the game:

      Alisson, Gomez, Endo, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Tsimikas, Robertson, Gravenberch, Jaros, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Morton, Bradley.

      So it was his 2nd game, not his debut? I'm still not catching your argument here. Because this would be his CL debut means he's not allowed to feature? So why was Morton trusted to start Porto then?

      We had Fab and Naby on the bench that night, so clearly nothing to do with injuries.

      No, he hasn't.

      Nyoni was far superior in pre-season and has since bagged 3 goals for England/u21s. The kid is on another level to Jones, both in potential and recent form/rhythm.

      Jones has played 15mins....which no one can even remember.

      Has to be strong line up.

      Ali, Trent,Konate,VVD,Robbo

      Endo, Mac,Graver

      Mo Nunez Diaz.

      Champions league, go in strong, keep it under tight firm control. Not going over there to try something, going to get a result.

      Jones has played over 130 games for the club

      Represented England at every level including winning major tournaments at U21 to the point that he was called into the England squad before the Euros

      Nyoni hasnā€™t proven anything to suggest he is ā€œon another levelā€

      Itā€™s like Lucas and Kuyt all over again

      You're probably right yes which is why I put "/Morton" & it doesn't change the fact I'd rather see either play than Jones or an exhausted Mac. It's not so difficult to comprehend amigo.

      Looking forward to thisā€¦ would probably start Endo in there with Macca and Ryan in front, and would even be tempted to use Mo from the benchā€¦ and start the Italian vs the Italiansā€¦ pretty confident of a win though.

      I would expect (hope ;D) we will see 3 or 4 changes to the side from the weekend. Looking at this new UCL format and simulations the magic number to qualify for the knockout is 8 or 9 points. Yes we should be looking more towards top 8 spot but really the threshold lower then the group stage format.

      My team would be

      ---------------------------Alisson---------------------
      TAA--------Quansah----------VvD---------Tsimikas
      ----------------Endo------------Mac-----------------
      Salah-------------------Dom-----------------Gakpo
      ---------------------------Nunez-----------------------
