it's a day we will rotate imo. the win does deliver us the group win. gomez matip Jones nunez they should be ironed on starters quansah kelleher Elliott they should be quite hopeful of a game. tsimikas endo jota will just be hoping for more time. I think some first team starters are needed here as that midfield would not be good salah and macallister likely?? kelleher gomez matip quansah tsimkas Elliott macalliater Jones salah nunez jota who knows. gakpo might be in contention too.
Really don't sense the excitement for this group of dross. I assume everyone thinks this is an easy win and such? This lot are 10th in france this year with a record of 2-5-2 with 11 goals scored and 10 conceded. the only direct comparisons we have are they drew 1-1 with union (11v11 until 97th minute) and beat LASK 1-0. They did draw with PSG in august though.
I think it's more the fact that both previous performances in the competition have been underwhelming - one with a 2nd string where the subs got us over the line, and one with a relatively strong side. You sense that there's a lot of game management going on in these games
I said before we should walk this group, but we'll probably sleep-walk it. As long as we don't trip over the dog...
Gakpo available for this one which is good news. Assume be lots of rotation as usual. Interesting see what happens at LB. Klopp mentioned Gomez and chambers being available at LB so wonder if tsimikas and one of them will get 45 mins each. Kelleher if fit Taa Matip Quansah tsimikas Elliott Endo Jones Salah Jota Doak
Klopp is hinting at less rotation. Doak is not fit btw He keeps praising nunez form and how happy he is so if the big lump of lovable dross doesn't play you'd have to seriously question how big a liar does klopp need to be before we stop believing a word he says
I can not wait for tonight match! A decent performance, a good solid win, with god forbid no controversy would help no end.
It will be another disjointed performance, the team looking like they've never played together before, then first teamers will come off the bench to get us out of trouble.
