this game is ideal for wijnaldum compared to yesterday. the lad likes to hold the ball and can slow things down too much but in Europe ball retention is vital. thiago might get back for this. I think it'd be vital.to see him get 30mins here. After that our defence will be almost impossible to predict.
he is or at least can be effective from the start however he can also not turn up at all plus he doesn't offer much defensively . Once he gets on a run of form he can be very effective however due to workrate can't see him starting often in a MF 3 .
Super sub................rather than carrot top he should be..........errmm...........concrete calves?
Toughest game left in the group and the furthest travel with a big game the following weekend. Avoid defeat and we are in control
The whole concept of home and away is now redundant without fans - so I want us to go there and win comfortably. This will be a big test for our defence - Atalanta are a really threatening team and have the ability to play through and around us. We really need someone like Thiago to play and dominate possession.
Naby Keita and Joel Matip have returned to full training, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed, but the Reds will make a late decision on their involvement against @Atalanta_BC Thiago Alcantara still not training fully, despite having been doing light work for a while now, so appears to be a doubt.
