Match Day Thread Man Utd v Liverpool Premier league

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Can, Lallana, Firmino, Origi.

Substitutes: Karius, Gomez, Moreno, Stewart, Ejaria, Coutinho, Sturridge.


Liverpool Football Club can confirm Joel Matip has been withdrawn from selection for today's Premier League fixture at Manchester United as the club continues to seek clarity from FIFA ‎as to the player's eligibility.

Matip, who was not included in Cameroon's final squad for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament, has previously communicated his withdrawal from consideration for international selection, with his last appearance for Cameroon occurring in September 2015.

The Cameroon Football Federation have failed to confirm that Matip can therefore play club football during the period of the Africa Cup of Nations. Liverpool have subsequently repeatedly sought, as a matter of urgency, clarity from FIFA in this regard. This includes assurances the player was called up for the tournament in accordance with the world governing body's regulations.

It is Liverpool's view that the player should be available for club football during the period of the competition and will continue to work for a speedy and unambiguous resolution.

is Clyne injured?

 

Injuries have decimated our team :'( No Clyne is a huge blow but its a chance for Alexander-Arnold.

 

Strong Utd line up tbf!

Henderson back for us is so important.

 

No Clyne? Coutinho on the bench as expected. Can in midfield. Lallana in the front 3.

3-1 to utd

 

^^^^ Pint half empty

 

Hendo and Can together should add more defensive stability which is what we've lacked.

 

Good news Everton 3 up

 

Martial roasted clyne last year at OT - I think TAA will do a good job, high hopes for him.

 

Well played Davies

Fair play to the lad.

 

having seen that line up the pint will soon be empty plus many others if he is like me

 

**** me Everton beating City 3-0

 

Origi will likely be up top and Firmino out wide too.

 

Everton seems to have done their job we need to do our own.

 

hopefully front 3 has Firm up top and Origi from left.
4 4 2 anyone ?

 

Stupid yellow away kit too.

We have lost 3 times, all away from home and all in that stupid kit

 

There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full.
And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don’t think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

- Jimmy will appreciate this

 

Its noen green
And its the best kit eva

 

TAA at right back rather than brining Moreno into back 4 and moving Milner across.

Not mich creativity in that midfield 3. At least with Lallana in there offers a link.

Shame Cout isn't back for 90 mins

 

Could be worse, could be City.
