Any truth on Ibe doing his hammy too. This is getting ridiculous

 

have not heard.

 

looks what i'd expect.

 

yes echo has it on its feed when i went and googled it.

Liverpool's hamstring curse has struck yet again after Jordon Ibe was ruled out of Friday night's FA Cup tie at Exeter City.

The 20-year-old winger, who got the winner at Stoke on Tuesday, is facing a spell on the sidelines after complaining of discomfort in the wake of the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg win.

Ibe, who missed training at Melwood on Thursday, becomes the SEVENTH member of Jurgen Klopp's squad to be sidelined by a hamstring problem.

Liverpool are hopeful it is only a minor issue and have yet to rule him out of next week's Premier League clashes with Arsenal and Manchester United.

 

you can read this and see

we are **** at wrming up or our players pelvis' or gluts are crap or something.

....

Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Lovren, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Jordan Rossiter and Martin Skrtel are all currently ruled out by the same complaint.

That takes the total number of Liverpool players missing from action to an eye-watering 13.

Kolo Toure (cramp), Mamadou Sakho (knee), Jordan Henderson (heel), Danny Ings (knee) and Joe Gomez (knee) are also sidelined, while Jon Flanagan is still not available for first-team selection as he continues to build up his match fitness with the under-21s after 18 months out.

 

Heard it on TalkSport earlier

 

i'm at work so its news to me..

...

looks to me that either we stick in ojo or we put lallana out and risk him.

 

I feel a bit for Exeter fans. They were probably excited to draw us, but now we won't have any of our star players playing, just a bunch of kids and reserves who won't be used to playing together. We are there for the taking imo

 

Same as if they'd been fit then

 

Would like to see Ojo start. He looked impressive for Wolves when he started earlier in the season, bagged a couple of goals.

Seegi Canos is having a really good season at Brentford, scored a brilliant goal the other week. Think he's getting lots of game time so probably won't be coming back but hope he gets a decent chance next year.

 

We've still loads of players.

Just a question of them going for it

 

Courtesy of the Guardian...
"The extent of the injury crisis afflicting Liverpool has been laid bare with Jürgen Klopp considering a central defence of José Enrique and Tiago Ilori for the FA Cup tie at Exeter City.
Nathaniel Clyne, Alberto Moreno and Emre Can will not start against the League Two side.
Klopp’s only selection guarantee was that the Liverpool team would be “very young, that’s for sure” and not include his regular starters across the festive programme.
Ilori and the forwards Ryan Kent and Sheyi Ojo may make their first Liverpool appearances. The full-backs Connor Randall and Brad Smith, the midfielders João Carlos Teixeira and Cameron Brannagan and the goalkeeper Adam Bogdan could start. Between them they have played 15 times for the club."

4: 4: 2

Bogdan
Randall Enrique Ilori Smith
Teixeira Brannagan ? ?
Kent Ojo

? = Lucas (must)
? = Allen (guess)

It's going to be a heck of a line up. Might actually get good odds don the bookies.

 

No way he goes with two wingers up top.

 

Bogdan
Randall Ilori Enrique Smith
Brannagan Lucas Tex
Ojo Benteke Kent

thatd be mine. Lucas as captain.

 

Might happen for sure.

Allen only lasted 60 mins v stoke..... would he plays him again?

 

Was thinking that, but with Arsenal on Wednesday have a feeling he might come on for Lucas after 60 mins or so as he's only just come back from injury.

 

Also wonder whether Firmino might get another game, try and build up his confidence by getting a goal or two.

 

We'll that's up to them but with them being fringe or youth players, you'd think they'd want to grab the chance with both hands!

 

You would think so would you not.

It's teix last chance.

Ojo I want to see if he's learned and matured cos he was fancying himself.

Brannigan i think is close and needs to prove he can do a job.

Ilori will have a big task as Remi Garde basically said he was in bad shape and unplayable. He needs this.

Bogdan needs to put his terrible mistake behind him.

They should see Randall and Smith really dying for another game.

And benteke should be as a senior pro dying to say him your guy to Klopp. ..

I think it's very early for Kent personally. We will see.

Pedro should also come into it. I think he's one to watch.
