    I was just thinking...

    Would you use this game to give klavan 90mins to get more up to speed or would you play Matip and Gomez together?

    I assume taa will play rb and I see no reason why Robertson should not play one now. Moreno cannot be played every game or we will just Knacker him.

    Karius
    Taa Matip Gomez Robertson

    What do you guys think?

    Then midfield 3..... ox? Can? Grujic? Wijnaldum? I think can will play but after that who knows what klopp will do?

    Then up top..... hmmm salah to start, firmino to start imo... will klopp risk a kid? Woodburn?

    My guess is

    Oxo can wijnaldum
    Salah sturridge firmino

    My bench picks are:

    Mingolet, klavan, Milner, grujic, Wilson, Woodburn, solanke.

    I would like to see us 4 up on 60 mins and throw on grujic Woodburn and Wilson.

    Their defending last time was criminal, but they have managed to force a draw out of Spartak so we shouldn't be too complacent. Of course we should win, but we still need to go into it with the right attitude.

    I was not in the least impressed by spartak either though.... so yes attitude right and end it as a contest in 15mins is my ideal

    This is almost a no win situation for Klopp and the players. They are expected to win and to win well. 6-7 goals for and none conceded.

    If a 1-0 or a draw (that does not even bear thinking! And a defeat is impossible) there will be huge uproar and the media will be coming down the team and manager like a ton of bricks.

    It's a funny old group, Spartak putting 5 past Sevilla has really put a cat amongst the pigeons. Lets just get the win tomorrow and see where we stand.

    Yup, that result was certainly a shock to me.

    I think you're right. A 7-0 away win has set the bar for the home game.

    Of course I want a win and would like another huge win but I also want to see effort so I'd take a smaller margin win if the team put in real passion while getting the win and not show complacency.

    We should win comfortably, provided we don't go out with the attitude that we just have to turn up. I'd still hope that we have a certain level of urgency, and not play like we just have to go through the motions and it'll all fall into place.

    If I were offered a scrappy 1-0 midweek and an easy 2-0 win at the weekend is be delighted to take it.

    A 6-0 midweek and a 2-2 draw v west ham is no good to us.

    We need to play the strongest side available anything else is disrespectful and asking for trouble in the guise of a bad result.
    Our squad is not good enough to pick and choose games.
    We out of cara cup
    So only this and league till jan - so full strength please
    IF we go four up (normally three but it’s us) then ring the changes

    He won't put out the same team for both games though will he so that will alter the knock-on effects.

    Nothing less than 9-0 is acceptable :bandit:

    Do you not worry about what your next meal will be before the Liverpool result?

    Everyone has a degree of obsession with food, you just need to accept and embellish it ;)
