PreMatch | Wolverhampton - Liverpool | PL Matchday 22 | Saturday February 4th 15:00h | Molineux Stadium

Would swap Gakpo with Elliot.

It’s all he does all day.

Imagine trying to be a control freak and telling Liverpool fans what they should and shouldn’t write. Fsg sucker.:joy:

I never said you couldn’t write it. :innocent:

I think we should go with the following;

Ali
TAA
Matip
Gomez
Robbo
Bajetic
Hendo
Thiago
Nunez
Salah
Gapko

Keita maybe for Thiago. I know at least one poster has suggested this but I would play Salah through the middle, he looks lost out wide. Additionally, I would put Nunez on the right as he will work back to cover Trent and Gapko on the left.

Nunez on the right? :flushed:

Yeah, I do not see why not. It may actually suit him as he would be cutting in rather than going on the outside. It would definitely give him better opportunities to shoot.

Wait, Darwin’s left footed? Is he? :thinking:

Funny, I actually remember some of his shots inside the box but more from the right side, they went horribly off target.

:joy:

Another injury could have not come at a worse time, but I guess (or at least hope) Matip and Gomez are capable of doing the job against Wolves. I do not want Fabinho anywhere near the starting XI for this and Keita has to play as long as he is available. Nunez to start through the middle hopefully.

Other considerations would include possibly iclude giving Thiago a breather or benching Salah (he is in a bad form right now and could be more motivated if he came in around the 60’ mark). Rather play Elliott on the right as he is not the best solution on the left.

I’ve backed down from calling for Gakpo and Salah to be dropped in favour of Elliot and Carvalho. Mostly because Klopp hasn’t listened to me, but also falling in line to the view that the forward line may need some consistency.

Interesting…

Liverpool have benefitted from VAR more than any other team in the Premier League this season and would be only 6 points off the relegation zone if VAR was not in place. [

@MailSport

How do they define “benefiting”? Is that VAR decisions that went our way, VAR decisions that overturned on field decisions, or VAR fucking up to our benefit (like Fabhino not getting sent off against Brighton)?

Comparing the decisions with VAR with the decisions without VAR.

Well the obvious foul on Fabinho and the obvious offside against Everton.

The other two were Havertz, at least a yard or two and Salah’s against Brighton which I can’t remember but was given on side on VAR. So basically out of the controversial VAR decisions all of them were correctly ruled.

But hey let’s not ruin football

Reading shit like that is pointless. So we’ve somehow “benefitted” from the ref/linesman not being able to do their job properly in the first place?

Plus can they prove we wouldn’t have gone on to win those games in spite of VAR? No they couldn’t…so do you wanna know where they can take that little table of theirs?

That Brighton one is odd considering we went on to go 3-2 up, so it is a little questionable what would have happened in that game.

I think you can say if VAR was as blind as the linesman in the Everton game you probably chalk that one as turning out for them, though if Firmino had hit any side to Pickford we would have won about 3-0.

As I said with Fabinho, it was a foul and we reacted to it being a foul, Havertz is far too early in the game but knowing our form I wouldn’t have expected anything different in that.

Yes, and yet you read it.

And people wonder why “journalists” put pieces like that out? It gets clicks, that’s all that matters.
