Exactly
A Saturday early kick-off away from home with Paul Tierney on VAR duty, this can only go well!
Coincidence. Definitely.
Going for a 3-0 win, Nunez Grav and Gomez to get his first goal via a dubious pen decision in our favour by VAR.
Don’t tell me I didn’t tell you so!!!
At least a proper ref.
Let’s make sure we don’t give Tierney a chance to fuck us.
Yup, we just have to win these games doubly so.
Can’t rely on these cnuts to do us any favours.
Just a thought regarding the players flying back from South America. Is jet-lag an issue for them?
I could see Jota-Gakpo-Salah starting up front having some merit.
Gomez taking a pen?? You must be high!
It’s gonna happen mate. We’ll be 2 up, Salah Nunez Szobo MacA and Gakpo would’ve all been subbed off at this point so now there isn’t really anyone on the pitch known for taking pens and it’s more who wants it? Why not Joe, grab yourself ya first goal for the club lad.
I would not be surprised if Klopp starts with those 3. Gakpo played 65 and 81 minutes with no travelling, Jota only played the second match against Luxemburg and Salah had a few days off and only play’s against Tunesia in over an hour.

Playing tonight.
Crazy stuff but who cares as long tho fucking internationals can be played.
Midfield for Saturday should be Szoboszlai-Endo-Jones, bring Gravenberch after 60 minutes and Thiago after 75.
Or he’s addicted to poppers?
Daughters on a plane to Santiago Chile, 16 hours in the air. It’s not just jet lag it’s brain warping (what do you do on a plane for such a long time?)
She takes at least 48 hours to recover, then she’s no athlete, still it’s not easy.
I wonder what the schedule is for our South Americans because if they meet up at a traing camp then move on to the match venue distances are huge so even more to worry about. Then I don’t suppose these players have the worry of buses from south east of France to Barcelona before their flights.
Alisson will play I don’t think the rest will.
Not sure why they had to wait this late to play two games.
No one raises the issue that BT and TNT keep doing this, they’ve done it next time. That’s at least at home.
These players aren’t flying cattle class. They’ll have every possible comfort. They’ll sleep, eat good food, watch a movie or two, no stress at all.
Drink heavily?
I can see Endo potentially starting this.
I expect Nunez and Dias to be on the bench and Alisson will play as we goalies do a lot less
