I'll be disappointed if after all those new sparkly signings that Wijnaldum still gets a starting berth in our team. Decent squad player and got a goal yesterday but never really struck me as good enough for first xi.
If he does it'll be because Klopp disagrees with you. If that's the case - no offence- but guess whose side I'll be taking?

Cant see Fabinho starting. Looks like he’ll be introduced slowly to get up to speed with the squad and Prem. TAA prob be on bench, Lovren and Hendo will miss out altogether I assume. Only thing is if Milner can’t play but it’s stirched up and no concussion or anything so worse case stick a bandage on him and he’ll be fine.
 
I like Gini. No frills, solid player who ties the others together. He'll be fine. If we're in a position to complain about Gini starting a game instead of other players, we're in a much better spot that in previous years!

Think him and Milner will both start with Keita though for the first few games. Fabinho isn't up to speed yet and Hendo will need time.

I doubt Milner will play. that's too deep a gash.

I have to say having watched fabinho he is fine when in position and he has the game in front of him but my god he cannot get back at all.

I dunno.. Henderson could.pop up.

I know taa was worried and got back a week early but it's prob already too late. I think he.might find himself benched until the league cup ala Robertson last year.

Wijnaldum isn't terrible, but he's inconsistent. Sometimes a good game, sometimes anonymous. There are worse players by far out there but I prefer him on the bench. Decent sub just not quite the level of first XI for me.

To be fair, I complained when he started last year too. <laugh> Just felt that with two new midfielders we wouldn't see him starting as many games now.

He should be good enough for West Ham though.
 
tell you what... wijnaldum keeps the ball and that's actually valuable in the English game. Milner and Henderson wont keep it. they will punt it at times.

wijnaldum is under rated in general play imo.

not a flash player but a good un

Agreed. He's not great but he's not ****. If he had consistency, he'd be a very good player.

Yeah that is it. you can't be sure what will turn up.

all the players have different strengths.

Milner is very under rated in what he does in midfield but he is aging.

Henderson is savaged for sideways passing but his work is absolutely vital as well.

the difference with Keita SHOULD be that he's got it all in one package.

I think Hendo is going to start, he knows what he's doing in there.

No chance he’ll start, he’s only played 30 mins of football so far.

Gini Keita Fabinho will be midfield 3 is inagine. Starting line up prob very similar to what started yesterday with Robbo instead of Moreno and maybe Gomez for Phillips if he’s refovered.

have to agree.

my only unknown is who will klopp pick at rb.

alisson
taa/clyne gomez vvd robertson
windy fabinho kieta
salah firmino mane

Henderson, shaqiri and probably sturridge to come on as subs during the 90 mins.

imo gomez was only rested and it's a minor knock we would.not even hear about if it wasn't preseason.

Yup. I assumed Clyne would start but TAA has started last few so could potentially start.
