PreMatch | Southampton vs Liverpool | PL Matchday 37 | Tuesday May 17th 19:45h | St. Mary’s Stadium

We typically only “hold” 3 players back when attacking (Fabinho, Van Dijk and Konate/Matip). I think we might see in this one we won’t ask Milner to do that Fabinho role and instead squeeze Gomez inside a bit so him, Konate and Matip are the holders with Matip stepping up a bit into the Fabinho space when necessary.

So for large stretches it could end up looking like this:

Yep and a few are 1 injury away from being a starting option for the CL Final, you want to show Klopp if he needs someone you are good to go.

And that means you can disrespect him? He destroyed his knee while playing for us, he has never caused trouble and he’s had his moments over the years. At the very least he deserves not to be called a waste of space on a Liverpool forum.

This is a decent lineup with enough on the bench to react if needed.

The Ox is definitely leaving in the summer, I think. It wouldn’t surprise me if the club was deliberately protecting him from injury, to make sure we can get a fee for him.

What a great bench, :grinning::grinning::grinning:

I agree, the Ox ruptured four knee ligaments, in that game. He’s extremely fortunate to be back playing at all and was playing well when that happened.
I hate the abuse he gets on here.

He’s the 2nd worst player we’ve signed since Klopp took over.

For me, both have been a waste at this club it might sound harsh I’m sorry to say but it’s how I feel.

Ox was looking a good midfielder, attacking, bursting through, shot threat.

Bad injury at wrong time.

The team improved further and moved on, he has been trying to rebuild and get a look in.

If and when he goes it is with our thanks. Didn’t quite work out, but a good lad who gave his all here, and might yet have more to do in a Liverpool shirt.

In fairness his injuries have destroyed his career.

Don’t bother, that person quite clearly doesn’t understand this thing called “nuance”.

very harsh w.r.t Ox.

I feel good about this. Milner will show us how it’s done.
