We need fabinho back in to have any hope imo. Probably Alisson back in but not sure. At least today we had 2 genuine cms to come on and we will have jota coming in too. We will be just vvd short in a while
Then we will have players in the euros With afcon lurking Then Klopp will have fulfilled his contract Golden years over Aaaaah that bout of pessimism feels good
When we look out to the situation, theres a level of relief and a release of presure by winning v sheff utd. Spoiler: read if you are bothered we will have the following squad now: GK Alisson - fit but needs compassion. Kelleher - whats going on? Adrian - Barely made a gaffe. RB Trent - fit Neco - fit LB robertson - fit Tsimikas - salah's mate. fit CBS Fabinho - will bet on him being RCB - half fit Matip - Out Phillips - fit but SLOOOOWW Williams - fit but not favoured Gomez - Out VVD- out Kabak - fit but ball watching. a lot to learn here. really is a 4th CB for me. No 6: Fabinho - too busy at cb to mention Henderson - OUT Wijnaldum - fit Thaigo - is he really fit, i can't tell. no 8s Milner - fit (ish) Keita - in between injuries Jones - fit ox - what could you call it? LW Mane - fit but out of form Jota - half fit Origi - yeah... CF: Firmino - sigh. fit but so sad. Minamino - not at the club. jota- half fit RW: Salah fit - bulltproof Shaqiri - between injuries. jota - used there but not a rw. half fit. The way I see it currently we are carrying the CB roles but we've right now got lots and lots of players for the other positions. The issue for me is not CBS letting in a goal a game, its that the forwards need to take the chances to turn rubbish into draws and wins. I'd take a draw v cheslea if offered right now. I see klopp making 2 changes thursday. Alisson and Fabinho to return. Alisson TAA Fabinho Kabak Robertson Thiago Wijnaldum Jones Salah Firmino Mane. subs to come in: milner, jota, maybe kieta. (on the grounds klopp has consistently taken off thaigo and jones)
Regarding Kelleher, I've heard he's been caught leaking inside info re. the club and is being disciplined, and that's why he's been taken out of the team. Which does make sense given that our team line ups have been leaked for a quite while this season but have recently stopped.
A draw is currently no good for us if we want to get top 4. Chelsea and Tuchel will probably take it right now. They will be hoping with their firepower to beat the lesser teams and not to lose against CL place rivals. We have now scored too and won but through a MF and an own goal. It’s high time our front trio starts firing. They’ve been a disappointment. Not ravaged by injury like our defence or midfield yet gone to pots.
