PreMatch | Newcastle vs Liverpool | Sunday August 27th 16:30h

We are not covered even when Konate is healthy. He isn’t fooling anyone answering like that.

Klopp is hardly going to come out and say “We’re fucked without Ibou. Matip and Gomez are wank these days.”

Konate has an average of 24.6 games per season in his top flight career so far and we’re talking about a young, physical CB…

Konate needs shipping out, with the rest of the highly paid sick notes. He’s not that great anyway and we haven’t got the depth of squad capable of carrying them.

Nat Phillips to the rescue

High time we start integrating Quansah to the senior side. Training with him , giving him minutes at the end of matches etc.

We will have to buy a CB soon within the next few days though

He trains woth the senior side regularly, I agree I would like to see him given more game time. He won’t be perfect of course but he’ far more capable of covering Konate than Matip is on an athletic level.

We need to start Gomez with Matip or Newcastle will run riot.

We have to go with this exciting new formation then
…Gomez…Matip…van Dijk…
Trent…Szoboszlai…Mac Allister…Robbo
…Salah…Gakpo…Jota…

Diaz has been our best forward so far, would be amazed if we don’t play him against Trippier. Need his pace on the break too.

Ibou will probably pass a fitness test before Sunday… This scenario has played out before

See how the chips are cut so to speak come Sunday.

Won’t know til then.

When does man of the match poll start…
Using My Mystic Meg powers, I would like to nominate Endo right now…!
Ya just know, this guy would have held onto every single solitary word uttered by Klopp and his backroom boys this week, Just so he knows exactly what is to be expected from him… 4-1 LFC

While I agree that the situation isn’t ideal. Liverpool should have done better to wrap up the deals. There’s still time though to rectify the situation

The next match against Newcastle is going to be tough. I don’t see us winning. Will be happy to get away with a draw and a win would pleasantly surprise me.

But the every other premier league side is suffering their share of injuries as well. Arsenal probably hasn’t but it’s just a matter of time considering they are well arsenal.

Drop Gakpo to the bench, keep the same forward 3 from the start, start another midfielder instead of Gakpo. Sorted. If we’re struggling to link the game forward with Jota central, then bring Gakpo on.

Disagree. Start Cody and bring on Dio as an impact sub.

Yep
Cody at CF, with Nunez and Jota to come off the bench.

Endo with Dom and Mac, I think Ibou will be ok.
