Yeah... I got a one hour ban for "being a jinxing bastard" for saying "halfway there" at half time. When it was 0-0 at City against Burnley, I think. I had to read one of MITO's posts to pass the hour before I could post again.
Tough game tomorrow. They are safe, nothing to lose and underdogs. Have won what? Six in a row at home. They have not faced a side like us though and Spurs tanked them 5-1 recently. We have to win them all but so far, April has been brilliant
The hosts have no new injury concerns ahead of Liverpool’s visit, leaving few surprises for Klopp to consider. Kieran Trippier is back in training, but the game will come too soon. Callum Wilson, meanwhile, is still unavailable, as too Ryan Fraser, Jamal Lewis and Isaac Hayden. Despite hoping a return was near, Roberto Firmino still needs more time to make a comeback from his foot injury sustained at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final. “Bobby is not a serious injury, all convinced but already takes a little longer than we all thought and Bobby as well, he will not be ready for tomorrow,” Klopp explained. But the manager is to have Kostas Tsimikas back in the fold after missing Wednesday’s game due to illness, while Curtis Jones will have to prove his fitness after a similar issue to the left-back. ...........

I think there's 4 or 5 I'll be shocked if we don't see. Jota, keita, matip, gomez and then the question is where was tsimikas midweek? It's astonishing that we have gone from a 2 comp side with a set 11 to a genuine squad with no drop off. But still, like all sides, there has to be 4 or 5 cannt drop players like alisson, vvd, fabinho, thiago, salah and then mane
Liverpool: Alisson, Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Milner, Keita, Mane, Diaz, Jota. Subs: Kelleher, Fabinho, Konate, Thiago, Salah, Jones, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott. please log in to view this image
Hmm that team doesn’t look as great. Now UK’s rather have played fab and thiago today then rested them for europe.
It's a good team with options from the bench. Plenty of games to play yet and we do need to look after some key players.
Bruno Guimaraes has been good for Newcastle but apparently struggles against the press. I hope we've chosen the right midfield here.
