Ok, try again-
Ali
Trent (or Neco) Rhys Joe Robbo (or Kostas)
Gini Milly Curtis
Jota Mini Mo
Depending on fitness of our back up full backs, that should still be a strong enough team for this fixture
Allison
TAA Fabinho Joe Kostas (if fit)
Milner Curtis Shaq
Jota Minamino Origi
A strong bench and we should be good enough with a strong bench and 5 available subs just in case

Surprise surprise Matip still not fit. Heās played almost no football for a year but hasnāt had a serious injury either.
You know youre broke when a stubbed toe can keep you out for over 6 months.
I like Matip and he has improved a lot but hes a waste of time as never fit
With Thiago, Matip, and Naby (why?) all out, itās going to make for an interesting lineup. Not sure Iāve seen or read anything definitive about Tsimikasā fitness?
Expect both some rotation, and full use of the 5 subs, so all of the following should expect either a start or sub minutes:
Jones
Milner
Neco
Tsimikas (if fit)
Taki
Shaq
Origi
Jota
The other question will be whether Klopp chooses to continue working on 4-2-3-1, versus reverting to 4-3-3. Iād think, with theoretically weaker opposition, at home, it might be an opportunity to keep working on the 4-2-3-1, especially as it might suit some of the expected players like Shaq, Divock, etc.
Naby has still not fully recovered from Covid19 as far as i understand it. Klopp said some days ago, that Naby hasnāt had symptoms but they still donāt know enough about this virus so they want to be careful with his fitness/resilience .
Not sure what this exactly means for Naby tbh, I donāt want to speculate.

The pre match interview says that the owners also own Brentford and theyāre doing things a little differently.
Anyone know what exactly? Klopp mentioned he was interested.
Theyāre big into infomatics and data modelling. Didnāt our throw in coach work for them before us?

His body isnāt made for the high intensity football/training we play/train. A team in the Italian league would suit him better.

Thatās me - putting in the work so you donāt have to. I like to think that my in depth oppo assessments are of great value to this community.
