Really depends what Liverpool shows up today... we fluctuate between decent and awful and are limping to the summer.

Happy enough if you play Wanyama. He's pretty limited and our more technical players should outwork him if they play as well as they're supposed to.

Pity about Firmino but a great opportunity for Origi, who has looked good recently. Says a lot that no-one is considering Benteke. Thanks Brendan.

Interesting talk about combined XIs... I'd probably go for Forster, Clyne, Van Dijk, Sakho, Bertrand; Can, Davis; Milner, Coutinho, Lallana, Sturridge
 
Big game today. Im not expecting to get anything from this game ,but if we do il be happy as a pig in ****

You may want to 're- think about your combined 11. You have missed a game changer, a player who was so influential for you, playing for us last time we met that you signed him as a super sub striker.

Steven may not make many match day squads but still plays a crucial role for us behind the scenes. Klopp has charged him with preventing Jose Enrique from reopening his instagram account. This is a full time and demanding role which Steven undertakes with great solemnity and sense of duty.
 
Here's a tricky question. What would you say if you were offered 7 wins and lose to this lot and Spuds?

*i can't believe I'm asking this; goes off to beat myself*

I'd probably take it. Realistically I can only see us getting a draw today (washes mouth out) although I'll be cheering them on as ever!
Think we'll struggle to get anything at Leicester too, but I REALLY want to beat Spuds and derail their title chances!

I was looking forward to seeing Firmino, but I won't shed too many tears about that.

It might just be me and I've not watched him regularly, but i'd be happy to see Benteke at Saints to replace Pelle.

In Wanyama's defence, he is limited on the ball, but he is a stopper and both Ozil & Payet(until he took it too far) struggled to perform under his shadow here. If he does play, I just want to see him squash twatbeard

I have a very good feeling about the Leicester game. Don't want to derail them, but could happily live with bringing them down to earth, then cheering when they take the title. We could then say that the Champions only took 1 point off us. :)

Aw he's a good player but just won't fit here and was never going to.

Haha a few weeks ago I wouldn't have minded either.

Think Wanyama will struggle if we decide to press. We don't do it every game for some reason.

After 5 games out I really hope wanyama doesnt start as see him struggling.

Let's see which version of both teams turn up. Literally no result would suprise me!
