Do they still have Mart "Shake the Room" Poom?

[ZonkoVille77]

I've thought long and hard about this. It's not like I want to be downbeat the whole time, but we're fuckin shite.

[Paco]

Do they still have Mart "Shake the Room" Poom?

Did he die recently?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Did he die recently?

Still alive. And apparently Ragnar Klavans hero. He would make a great pundit, give him his own show. Poom with a view.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I'd like to keep Mane, Coutinho and Sturridge away from this TBH.  Bobby F to get a few minutes.

 

Would like to see Grujic (if he's recovered from the shock) Ings, Karius, The Closer and Origi start.  Ejaria on the bench on Friday must mean he's in Klopps mind so perhaps he'll get a run out.

 

Suspect it'll be a much stronger team then we'd expect though as Klopp wants silverwear

Darren Bent hattrick

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Martin Fulop died last year.

[Gym Beglin]

Karius,

Moreno, Lucas, Matip, Clyne,

Grujic, Henderson, Wijnaldum,

Mane, Ings, Origi

 

Subsies: Lovren, Milner, Stewart, Sturridge, Coutinho, Ejaria

[The Woolster]

As Matip has had injuries both recently and in the past, I'd give him a rest. Would play Lucas instead.

 

Although I'm not as a big a Moreno hater as most, I'd prob still play Milner as he's still learning the role and each game will give him that bit more know how. I'd start Alexander-Arnold on the other side to give Clyne a rest.

 

Can (if fit enough), Stewart and Grujic in midfield.

 

Origi up front with Ings as a wide forward, leaving one other attacking space left.

 

I'd play Harry Wilson because I think he is great, if not him then I'd play Wijnaldum as I'd be less concerned if he got injured plus playing further forward might see him get a goal which would be good for his confidence.

 

I think Klopp will play a much stronger team than mine though!

[The Woolster]

Forgot that Gini limped off didn't he? Prob best to rest him as well then.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Play as strong a team as we can. Rest key players if the game is won early.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Has anyone got a stream that isn't showing this?

[Bjornebye]

Defo hope Grujic and Ings get a game. Wouldn't play too much of a weakened side though. Moreno is playing I reckon. Best start focusing on the fa cup.

 

sent from Turdseyes maa's bedroom

[ZonkoVille77]

Moreno, Sakho, Grujic and Ings should all play.

[Adebisi]

Sakho won't be playing. Klopp has said he's not fit and no player will play until he deems them fit enough

[Lee909]

Karius,

Moreno, Lucas, Matip, Clyne,

Grujic, Henderson, Wijnaldum,

Mane, Ings, Origi

 

Subsies: Lovren, Milner, Stewart, Sturridge, Coutinho, Ejaria

Why the fuck would you play the moron at RB. The lad can barely remeber his name,asking him to play on the opposite flank would fry his tiny little mind

[G Richards]

I hope we play a fairly strong team as I want silverware! The Milk Cup has been good to us over the years, and with no European football to navigate this season we don't have to shuffle the pack as much. With that said, we should still make a few changes as we have some good players who need to find their groove this season. There are three players who really need to be in the team for this one though: 

 

Karius - let's see what you are made of lad!

Grujic - this seems made for him. Apparently not quite ready to start in the Prem yet, but if he's going to bridge the gap he needs games like this to state his case. 

Origi - he hasn't really got going yet this season. Last term he looked to have found a new level, and he looked like he knew how to use his pace and strength as he started finding the net. I don't know if Sturridge is injured much, after he came off against Chelsea, but with him even minor injuries have a way of going on for weeks, so Origi needs to be ready to play at a good level in the league. To help him get there the cup game will be just the thing he needs.

 

Beyond the three names mentioned I don't really care who is picked, so long as we win!

[lifetime fan]

Moreno gets a run for me, with Milner switching to right back to give Clyne a night off.

 

 

 

Don't understand this line of thinking.

 

Milner is in his 30's and Clyne is only 25. 

 

Milner gets the night off as it's more important he stays fit and rested so we don't have to play Moreno in the league.

Is Ojo injured?

Any mention of sturridge in presser today?

 

Expecting a headline tonight.

[Allan]

Don't understand this line of thinking.

Milner gets the night off as it's more important he stays fit and rested so we don't have to play Moreno in the league.

 

Allows Milner to continue to adapt to the move to fullback, retains leadership on the pitch, and due to his international retirement, he'll be getting more rest time than Clyne, especially around this time of year - having had an international break at the start of this month, we're just a couple of weeks away from another, and there's 1 more in November to come too.

[Allan]

Is Ojo injured?

 

Coming back from injury.

[Allan]

Team news is in for the 23s game against Spurs this evening.

 

Starting XI for @LFC: Grabara, Alexander-Arnold, Maguire, Ilori, Whelan, Stewart, Wilson ©, Virtue, Gomes, Brannagan, Woodburn.

 

Subs for @LFC: Brewitt, Lennon, Garcia, Phillips, Firth (GK)

 

Looks like Ejaria & Randall will be with the first team squad tomorrow. Should also mean that Ings will be involved tomorrow.

Agree

 

Milner should get rested and Moreno given a run out with a threat of a massive beating if he fucks up again,
