Great, the Liverpool-hating dwarf again. 
Btw, is the poster boy of diving fit?

Interesting. Yet Salah seems the least burnt out of the lot.

I think that whilst the likes of Salah doesnāt look burnt outā¦ I wonder if itās why they just donāt seem to have that extra sparkā¦ Salah seems to run into players all the time, something he hardly did last year, wonder if mentally heās a little frazzled. Similar all of them.

Salah played less mins/game, he was often substituted. But as I mentioned in the Salah Thread, his endurance went well under radar. Wijnaldum and Robertson have been more intensely used, specially this season.
Robertson took six freaking months to replace freaking You Can Always Expect A Disaster Moreno. If Tsimikas takes a year to become an able deputy of one of the Worldās best LB, itās a steal.

The game management worked really well against Arsenal so I would expect to see the likes of Milner and possibly the Ox switching positions at some point in the game.
Overall we need consistency and that means not needlessly buggering around with the formation. I donāt know what Klopp was trying against Real but Iād rather he kept that for preseason friendlies. Keep players in the positions that they can naturally play in.

Would like to see Klopp give some game time to those weāve not seen much of, whilst resting up for Madrid who will have to go full throttle against Barca on the weekend, and they looked done after 60 minutes against us.
Big question is, does Klopp rotate and hope to pull 3 points out the bag against Villa, but given the form, a loss could hugely damage the chance of a Top 4 spot, so that the players have the legs for the return leg against Real. Or, does he go full strength and focus on the 3 points and see where we are afterwards in terms of fitness.
Also, Iād like to see Naby startā¦we know heās better than the 38 mins he put in on Tuesday, and if he doesnāt show it in the next 8 games, I think his time will be well and truly up.

Revenge is best served cold, and we are pretty damn cold right now, so bring it on.
Welcome to the introductory game of āWho is the least shit at them momentā¦ā
Phase 1 of the game: Choose a base of 5 - 7 players, these will be the foundation of the team.
Phase 2 of the game: Choose the remaining 4-6 players based on who is the least shit at this point in time.
My phase 1, 7 players:
Ali
1* Kabak Phillips 2*
Fab
Thiago 3*
Mo Jota 4*
My phase 2, 4 players (My choice in red):
1* (Trent, Milner, Davies)
2* (Robbot, Tsimikas, Davies,Milner)
3* (Milner, Jones, Ox, Keita, Gini, Milner,Shaq)
4* (Shaq, Origi, Mane, Firmino, Jones)

A huge bonus, but then again Ramos and Varane was supposed to be a huge bonus.

Got a feeling for the RMadrid second leg, Fab will drop back into defense alongside Kabak.
This game, Nat will continue with Kabak.
One of Salah or Mane will be on the bench, with Bobby returning. Milner also to come in to give them lads a bollocking if they are not up to speed.
Will games be cancelled? Re Prince Phillipās death.
