Origi is a worry. to be updated after weekend games
yeah i know that mate, but is it worth the risk? we can hopefully do the damage 2nd leg and have the crowd on our side, and slim possibility of still finishing top 6 as well to think about.
Need an away goal! I expect Skrtel to come back in and Klopp might want 3 centre mids on the pitch. If not, Milner will play central with Firmino to come in. --------------------Crapallday Clyne---------Skrtel-------Lovren------Moreno ----------------Lucas-------Allen ---Lallana--------Coutinho-------Milner -------------------Sturridge
Nahhhh. Mingolet Clyne skertl lovern moreno Milner lucas Lallana firmino coutinho Sturridge Klopp always plays firmino... he will do here.
we do not need an away goal, all we have to do is get a 0-0 draw there and win back home. we got an away goal in the previous tie, how much use was that?
i hear you, but that would require probably playing a very strong lineup away from home in first leg, and if the dreaded scenario happens and we end up having to rely on benteke as far as league and europa goes, well there will be a lot on here crying.
Was on a stag do yesterday, got completely ****faced and wasn't able to watch the game yesterday. Was it a 2nd rate team again? Sahko's out for this? Origi.... Really hope their replacements do the job.
