I understand the reasoning behind the team selection, but I I think it’s a gamble. We need nothing less than three points. Why no Origi on the bench? I don’t get that one, unless he’s injured.
Pre Match: Newcastle United v. Liverpool, 1230 BST (UTC +1), Saturday 30 April 2022 (Premier League)
Too many changes for my liking.
In Klopp we trust.
yeah Milner in midfield is a puzzler.
Ill, apparently. TBH too many changes for my liking but I’ll trust Klopp on this.
Milner and Henderson Klopp out
Never liked when Hendo and Milner both played the #8 but Hendo playing #6 today so that’s ok for me.
He’s certainly freshened things up and understand why given the short turnaround.
Less confident of the 3 points now but hopefully we’ll be fine!
So much for the idea Milner wouldn’t be starting another game.
Newcastle line-up
Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett, Shelvey, Bruno, Willock, Almiron, Saint-Maxmin, Joelinton
Milly in the midfield with Hendo? I wonder if the midfield will be too immobile?
As I thought, Joe Gomez for the threat of Saint-Maximin. That kinda destroys Eddie Howe’s week long plan of trying to get in behind Trent.
Keita will have licence to get forward. We must not panic. 0-0 at 60 min is fine. Keep probing.
Me too.
Lol fixed that
Origi out through illness not covid
Pretty much the lineup I envisioned, except for Milly. One eye on the CL prize. Think Milly will be first off, depending on how the game is going. May sit both he and Hendo a bit deeper, and let Naby lad have at it.
COYR! We got this!
Is this where we say goodbye to the title then?
Of course he is… When we needed him and he had an opportunity during AFCON, he was injured. He’s got the most polarised luck in our team. When he has good luck it’s really good and bad luck…
Already with the whining?
We needed rotation and this team will do just fine no need to worry!
Milner 1 Mattyhurst 0
Never mind, mate. Nobody is right all the time.
Without sounding too complacent, we are a really strong team these days no matter who starts the game. We are capable of winning and putting any game to bed within any 15minute spell…
If things are not going to plan within the first 60mins, make the changes, alter the formation and tactics to suit… run out 2-0 winners… :0)
Keeping certain guys as fresh as possible for future battles…
Mane, Diaz and Jota is full of speed, trickery and power. Probably bring in Salah on 60 when their defence is tired. Also feel uncomfortable with Milner starting. Maybe Jurgen intends to bring on Thiago or Fab for him later.
Bombastic Keita compensates for Ribena man’s discipline and endeavour. Easy 3 points today with massive strength off the bench @60mins if required.
