Match Day Thread LFC v Chelsea

It is a MASSIVE gamble to leave both Mane and Firmino out for such an important game at home. If it does not work out Klopp will get a lot of flak. Understandably. Let's hope it won't come to that.

 

let's see.

If we see salah wide right it's 4231. if we see ox there it's 42222

 

in fairness do.you want 2 draws out of next two games.or lose this and win next one?

it's just klopp thinking he needs to rotate.now to get through the festive season.

I expect.mane on for coutinho and firmino for salah on 65 mins

 

They're on the bench if needed

 

I get that they could come in at the hour. But we shouldn't be saving players for future matches. If they are tired rest them. But to rest them to win the next match is not sensible. Don't we remember Rodgers resting his players against Madrid (!) so that they are fit to play Chelsea at the weekend. And we all know what happened.

 

amazed by the Firm decision. Lets hope it works out .

 

Firmino is the engine of the team

 

Did anyone else hear Gerrard say Lovren is number 1 choice centre back?

 

No......did he?............surely not?

 

Without Firmino, we're certainly not going to be pressing as much. Not sure what the plan is here unless Firmino's just a bit tired from midweek...

Should be exciting at least!

 

FFS, what does Moreno have to do to be dropped. I swear he could be shagging Klopps missus and still get in the ****ing team.

 

Not only will we lack his press, but we have replaced it with someone who offers the least amount of pressing

 

+First corner to Chelsea

 

so its 4231 and you.know
I'd have taken the draw with gratitude before I heard the teams so if we can domimate the midfield areas here we might just get away with it.

 

Coutinho doesn't look on it tonight. Poor passing

 

Milner should have passed.

 

Mistakes creeping in

 

Desperate defending there!
This is getting anxious.

 

Zappacosta has the *****phile look nailed down

 

Will be very surprised if we keep a clean sheet!
