I would say absolutely not. you are right but they are still 5th in last liga and only 2 points off real and atletico.

they are a serious side.

they've a couple defensive injuries

Not him again

 

Showed stats after spurs game. Think we’ve conceded 1 goal at home so far this season? And about 13 away or something stupid?

Admittedly teo two of those games have been hammerings at Spurs and city, but crazy how can be so different!

 

Just checked.

6 games Home 6 away.

12 goals scored Home. 12 away.

1 goal conceded at home (best with United). 16 conceded away. The worse in the league! Break it down and 10 of those were in 2 games. So the other 4 conceded 6 goals which actually isn’t horrendous?

 

yes that's right one goal at home.

it really is odd

interesting

first matip is out.

second My prediction:

Karius,
Gomez Lovren Klavan Moreno
Wijnaldum, Henderson Coutinho
Salah firmino Mane​

Subs: mingolet, Milner, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold.

third: Lallana won't make the 18 IMO

Fourth: We look short of defenders so I think grujic won't make the bench but taa will. Robertson will not.

 

Let's hope Karius is as untested in this game - from the opposition - as he has been so far.

 

I imagine Can will start seeing as he was on the bench on the weekend.

 

maybe. i honestly don't know but suspect it might tell us a lot of he doesn't.

 

When Ben Woodburn sees Dany Ings going ahead of him dies he think "**** this!"?

 

ings is in the quota for homegrown players over 21. he may have to be included.

woodburn however.... well... in all seriousness would he ever get near the pitch in an away game v a top 5 team in spain?

Ings is only making up the numbers imo. there is zero chance he'll be near the side. He's on the plane cos of his age and birth place. woodbrun is 18 so too young to do that.

 

If it's for technical reasons then fine but if not Woodburn should at least be travelling and getting that experience.

 

there is a case for that.

this is not new though. woodburn was not in the squad for maribor either. ings was and continues to be. he's nowhere near playing.

 

He's saving him for the final .... youngest goalscorer .......

 

Just want to point out ejaria, wilson, brewster and masterson are all in the squad too but are nowhere close.

 

But they are nowhere near close to Woodburns level.

 

well..... are they?

one might take the wales aspect of this out of the equation and compare what wilson is doing every week in u23s to what woodburn has done this season and say you know what? wilson deserves a seat on that plane more.

Ejaria is mixed for me. woodburn is probably better but then again he is a straight cm with lots of competition.

The others are in on technicalities as well.

Its hard on these kids but the reality is woodburn needs to develop. how many experiences of plane trips and hotels does he need? he's had planety. he needs games and he was never coming on in this game.

If we need a forward it will be others. Tough on kids... but thats the reality.

The other aspect I'm detecting is klopp gets a 16 man squad together and anyone not playing is not going to get a chance to play. robertson speaks to that.

Klavan came in recently for lovren and looked very rusty, he wasn't subbed on v spurs.
