Girona 0-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Estadi Montilivi hosting the Mighty Reds for the first time.





Liverpool FC Starting XI: Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Salah, Jones, Robertson, Gravenberch, Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool Subs: Jaros, Kelleher, Endo, Gakpo, Elliott, McConnell, Norris, Quansah.

Alisson Becker returns for Liverpool in tonight’s Champions League clash with Girona.

The goalkeeper makes his first appearance since October 5 after recovering from a hamstring injury to take his place in Arne Slot’s starting line-up at Estadi Montilivi.

The Reds make a total of four changes from the side deployed at Newcastle United last time out, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai also coming back into the XI.

Full team, would like us to not go fully on tackles.

Rotate around 70th minute.

Ynwa

Don't want to be hearing stuff coming out from the club about injuries, tiredness and too many matches when we continue to play our strongest XI in this one.

Robertson and Trent in particular are risks any time they play because an injury to either is a headache at the moment with Kostas and Connor out.

We should 100% be using Jarell from the start today too to get some rhythm into his game which seems sorely lacking at the moment.

Not much jeopardy on this match to be going full team.

Full strength, get it done early, then get the subs on.

very light bench named.

only Endo, Gakpo, Quansah & Elliott as the 'senior' outfield players.

H'on de Pool...

COYR

Why are we playing a full strength team here ffs?

Endo should be playing

Did he have a choice?

Endo should be playing

Becoming an overused statement, no matter how many times it's brought up I somehow don't see it coming to fruition. He doesn't rate him at all, he don't use him unless he absolutely needs to.

Is Girona's badge one of those magic eye things?

Quite a few ex prem.players in the opposition ranks . Let's just aim to get this qualification wrapped up make subs and move on

Running a few into the ground we are.

Strange Endo not playing don’t want to pick an injury tonight. COYR

😂

Can’t un see it now…

Did he have a choice?

No, he didn't. That's my point!

Let’s trust the manager shall we , he is in a better position to make the call than we are

Very strong side. Thought we might start Endo or Quansah. I'm generally more in favour of starting strong and then changing, over too many changes risking a wobble. I think the manager clearly sees rhythm as important.

Running a few into the ground we are.

The lads that didn't play at the weekend?

Strong line up looking to get it finished quickly and hopefully see the likes of Elliot and Quansah get a run out.

Running a few into the ground we are.

Keep them match for the league game.. keep our sharpness..

Why are we playing a full strength team here ffs?

Winner pockets an extra couple mill.
Will help cover a few weeks of Mo's salary.

Allison straight back in.

Anyone checked on LFC across the water? He ok?
