Match Day Thread Liverpool V Arsenal (LC)

Kelleher
Williams Gomez Konate Robbo
Hendo Morton Ox
Jota Origi Minamino

Inagine will be a mix of reserves and first. Might even still see TAA in there and Jones now he’s back fit.

 

Don't think Hendo or Jota will play. Miner and Jones with Ox playing further forward

 

Don’t see why he wouldn’t play a good few first teamers. It’s a semi final

 

Origi unlikely to be available from what i've seen .

 

Because we never do

 

This will be a good game for Haaland, Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham to be gently introduced into their new life in Liverpool. If we do sign them today they should be eligible, no.

 

Salah Hat-trick









in AFCON

 

We want Robben We want Robben

 

Just to note our last league cup semi final.

Southampton 2017 yeah?

Karius, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Lucas, Can, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Firmino, Sturridge.

Subs: Mignolet, Gomez, Moreno, Stewart, Coutinho, Woodburn, Origi

Sadly nearly our best team.

So yeah, klopp will have to manage this one carefully.

Robbo and Gomez will play. I would presume neco Williams too. Theres no option now but to play jota so really this is about whether people think klopp would expose bradley, morton and beck to a premier league standard team away from home.

He did v leicester then took off at ht and that was at home.

Imo if williams is needed at rw again then trent not Bradley starts.

Kelleher
Trent gomez konate robertson
Ox morton milner/jones
Williams jota minamino?

I read minamino was running outdoors whatever that means so I would assume he can be scraped off the floor for this one.

The other questions are whether lfc get Clarkson and rhys William's back from loan to play fa cup or some part here as their loans are washouts


Fabinho
Henderson
Vvd
Milner/Jones

Are only subs bar kids then

Thiago out for a time I hear
Matip coivd til brentford game
Alisson same
Firmino same.
Salah, mane, kieta out for acon

 

Liverpool’s training session at 4pm has been cancelled ahead of the match on Thursday night due to further positive COVID-19 tests in Jurgen Klopp’s squad. The club’s training ground remains open, however.

 

We are saving the training ground closure for the league game

 

That will make it hard to run and I can't see us winning if that happens.

 

Every penny counts #savingformbappe

 

So, assuming this fixture goes ahead as I've seen it might not, how strong do you think you will line-up?

I know it's a cup semi-final, but I've always felt like Klopp doesn't really care about domestic cups and his priorities (somewhat understandably) are PL & CL.

Now that City look to be running away with the league, do you think you'll field a very strong XI?

 

so if we do the squad count (nothing this is not an FA competition and EFL can force LFC to play u12s if required to get their tv money)

Alisson - COVID
kelleher ?
Adrian - Injured
Pitaluga - ?
trent ?
Williams ?
Matip - Covid
VVd - had covid result already so ok?
Konate ?
Gomez ?
Phillips - injured
Robertson?
Tsimikas ?
Fabinho - had covid result already so ok?
Thaigo - hip
Milner ?
Henderson - had a cold but could have been covid for all we know.
jones - had covid result already so ok?
Morton ?
Elliott - Ankle
Ox - ?
Keita ACON
Salah ACON
Mane ACON
FIRMINO Covid
Origi - Knee injury
Minamino - some injury or other
Jota

How many covid positives are required to get these games off? 4? 5?

Kelleher/pitaluga
trent/williams Gomez/Konate VVD/Koumeito Robertson/Tsimikas
Henderson/milner Fabinho/Morton Ox/Jones
Gordan Jota minamino

I don't see any way this gets called off at this point given theres 7 subs, we are just very light up front which is our own fault.

Unknown: Are clarkson and williams coming back off loan?

 

If Klopp has COVID the whole team probably has COVID. He's always hugging all over them. They don't wear masks during games and I'm sure they don't in training either. The wave of COVID is coming.

 

It won't be a strong side; Gomez, Konate, Robbo, Minamino, Neco Williams and Jones will probably all play

 

its a semi final. look back at prior SFs (last 2017) it was strong. This is a game he has to try in now. please note its also AWAY and no responsible manager would send a bunch of kids to be ruined by you playing a full team.

If we send beck, Bradley, morton, gordan, jones, williams, koumetio etc down to the emirates and they lost by 5 or 10 goals what good is that to any young player.

Its klopp's responsibility to look after them just as much as sneior players

 

Well I do watch them closely when you see the buses and the who talking to other teams and such and there is absolutely ****ing zero precautions so its entirely down to us.

Linders pre game v chelsea had a full blown , mask down hug and conversation with some lad for chelsea for example. they have got really lax about it so I'm not shocked

At this point it'd suit me fine to see the whole squad have 10 days off symptom free while salah and mane are away and have all the games called off as at least then in theory the covid is done and out of the way. If its going to happen you'd rather have the games off than drag it though piecemeal and suffer the whole month.

 

Surely we will be made to play our youth team?

We had to last time and it's what other teams should have been doing this time around
