Bobby too.

Agree they should’ve started Origi or a kid up front over mane/ salah.

It’s more reserves than I actually expected Klopp to play tbh. He is not one to field reserves in UCL matches after all.

Origi probably lost the starting spot due to his injury/illness. Kelleher should have started.

The bench looks stronger than the eleven who are playing.

Yeah, the first thing that came to my mind!

Also, most of the players would be earmarked for very specific minutes and the result or how the game goes won’t change it, so should be good. 5 subs, thanks for that.

Just realized Milly is on the bench as well and Thiago starts! That just increased my happiness! :star_struck:

Looks like a good mix that team. The defense worries me a little I hope they have the communication and discipline to hold it together.

Where’s Gomez?

I was close.

Honestly struggling to get excited for this beyond praying no one gets injured. Don’t get that team at all. A Salah or Mane injury costs us more than £2.5m

Nothing wrong with that team for me.

Excited to see some more of young Morton, more much needed minutes for Ox and Thiago too. BAck 4 will be ok.

I’m always nervous about our front 3 getting injured so there’s no difference in the feeling for this game

PL injuries said he was a couple of weeks.

Anyhow bit concerned about Salah and Mane the rest are fine for me, If Ox breaks down he was going to anyhow, Matip didn’t play for two weeks and the rest are fine, Thiago needs game time.

That bench compared to Saturday is quite amusing.

I reckon Origi is not yet ready to play full 90 after his illness. Expect him to come on early in 2nd half.

Though on second thought, Jürgen might be saving his energy to unleash him on the bitters.

Up the Reds!

There’s a pretty big difference in a PL or cup game and one that’s completely meaningless bar money

I’m still cool with it. We’re at home and I want to win all home games, I feel they have an obligation to try and do that.

Plus I also believe in momentum and forwards in particular thrive on that. I’ll be a hell of a lot more concerned with AFCON. They’re taken out of our hands at that point.
