Williams to start, not matip.
Jones to start for sure.
Neco will probably be risked.
Minamino to start?

Minamino to start?
In the end his problem is he has to push firmino for a spot.
The reality is jota forced his way in even as a 4 right from the off. thats the difference for me. Minamino probably has not convinced klopp in training/ matches.
TBH the atlanta defence was that slow i think we ought to run at them
He needs to be given time to get used to things, not just at Liverpool but in this country (imagine that atm!!!). Personally, I don't see him ever being good enough for a starting spot but we need to give him a chance to develop.
Who knows but how long is enough, a year, two? he's nearly 12 months in.
in the end shaqiri is almost never fit but straight back in. jota, straight in. minimino is in the origi bin by the looks of it.
Let him start v atlatana but while he tries the lad seems to want to move away from goal not towards it and is so lightweight he is easily managed by most all english teams.
Eleven months and four months were missed due to lockdown
And he needs a chance to play with the big boys, and not with the likes of Origi.
The number of fans allowed will depend on which tier the city is in. I reckon Liverpool will be in tier 2 which means max of 2000 fans will be allowed.
yeahhhh no.
he missed 9 weeks then was available for the final games of 19/20. had same preseason as everyone else and has been available since.
one might say he's had more chance to play that others yet played less.
so getting close to game time.
likely starters is probabaly a good place to start:
alisson - do we wait until this game is over and then rest v ajax and midgetland? imo yes.
Neco williams - if not now when?
Rhys williams - played last time, not big issues, needs to start this one for our collective sanity.
Tsimikas - on bench in leicester game - 50/50 on this one. robertson tightening up then playing for scotland and then for us signals caution to me. Its a big ask to put this lad in as well as the others.
Jones - ironed on starter
Minamino - probably must start.
Origi - do we care? I suppose we need him so its a game to watch him flounder in as per.
It then gets a bit dicey.
Alisson
williams williams Fabinho/matip? tsimikas
Jones wijnaldum
jota Minamino mane
Origi
The bench would then be:
adrian, milner fabinho/matip, robertson, clarkson, firmino, cain, kelleher, longstaff, glatzel
We could even try to be funky with the 5 sub rule and give matip and robertson say 45mins and tsmikas and fabinho the other 45mins.
Jota and mane then need protecting on 60mins but shaqiri must be out if he has an injury (as per) so firmino and a kid would have to come on.
Of course i suppose if salah were to magically turn up it would be nice. (hodgson was hoping zaha would test negative so would be available yesterday but i thought the rue was 10 days isolation??)
