PreMatch | Watford - Liverpool | PL Match Day 8 | Saturday October 16th 12:30h | Anfield

Because we’ve never played that way.

I think it’s gonna be Hendo , Millly and Naby.

Yeah I think the best chances are Keita from the start, plays around 60-70mins and then Ox provides fresh legs for the last 20-30mins. Easy to plan though, we’ll see how the match evolves.

I think his only other injury with us was when Richarlison fucked his knee.

Naby made it through the international break which is a rare bonus. He also didn’t play 3x90 minutes so that’s a huge bonus. Milner will start. Henderson barely played, so he will start. Trent, Bobby and Matip had no internationals, not sure about Kelleher.

The bench should be interesting for midfield, the rest is fine.

Rather OT, but does anyone know which kit we will be wearing tomorrow (other than we will not be naked :grinning:).

Watford has those god-awful yellow things for their home kits, so that rules out our Crown Paints re-creation.

Jota, Origi, Minamino, Ox, Konate, Gomez, Kostas, Neco, Adrian would likely be the bench if that’s your team. I would be surprised if he dipped into the youth teams and went for a Morton say over any of those options.

Kelleher got his first start (played 90mins) for Ireland in a 4-0 friendly win against Qatar. I’d say that’s actually good for us, that he got some competitive minutes in his legs as preparation for Saturday.

Red, of course. :slight_smile:

We’ll see our away kits in Madrid and Manchester next week.

4 away games in a row across 3 competitions.

Let’s make this more 7-0 against Palace and less the Everton game this time last season (then again I think we win that this season what with the lines)*

*we would have won it last year with more competent officiating mind.

Use the fact that Watford wouldn’t move it as spur.

We should be OK in our all red home kit. Watford usually wear a combination of yellow shirts, black shorts and red socks which sometimes leads to us wearing a mix and match kit. But I think they’re wearing yellow socks this season, so we should be good to go.

Heavy rain apparently

A small chance Klopp picks both Jota and Firmino, and then goes with Hendo and Millie being the 2 holding midfielders in a 4-2-3-1?

If he does it’ll be another indicator of how little Ox and Keita are trusted.

Would love a midfield three of

Ox Hendo Keita

But it’s not going to happen.

Yes, it looks pretty miserable at the moment! :cloud_with_rain:

Pretty much as expected

No Ox, says a lot sadly. Hope Keita does have a good game.

Time for Bobby to show what he is like with a full rest, needs to step up from now.

Yes, it would appear that the writing is on the wall for Ox. It’s a shame, was in such a rich vein of form before the injury

No Ox, but would you put him ahead of Milner and Keïta at the moment? I think the thinking is to go a little more conservative in midfield since we don’t really know what Watford will put out or what they might be like under Ranieri.

EDIT: The above didn’t really make my point, which is more to do with the constant writing off of whoever doesn’t make it into the starting lineup on a given day. At first it was Jones, then Keïta, now Ox? Don’t complain about a lack of squad depth when our squad is so deep we have to leave out good players.

No surprise really, hope Trent gets a bit of support if targeted today.

Strong team. Decent bench. No excuse for not winning this one.
