Middlesbrough (A) - 7:45pm, 14/12/16 - The Desolation of Smoggies.

[rubble-rouser]

Is there something up with Origi for tonight?

 

Nah - I'd just rather play to Firmino's strengths and have Origi on the bench.

 

If Can is not available we revert to Plan A

[rubble-rouser]

Not that Im aware of. One or two seem to think he should be dropped to put bobby back in the centre but 4 goals in 4 suggests that wouldnt be a good move, surely?

 

I've nowt against Origi by the way, I just think this may suit our style better. I might be wrong about that, we might be missing Coutinho rather than anyone else being a square peg in a round hole.

I think the lad has done quite well, but I do agree that moving Firmino our left and losing Coutinho dramatically changes our attacking flow. I dont see this as being big Divs fault at all, just that, as you say, he is not that player.

 

For me he has to start tonight against what will be a very deep lying defence where I feel he will be effective.

[Hand Shandy]

Didn't even realise this was tonight. We're usually shite up there as I recall.

 

We'll get snotted.

[Kevin D]

Gomez in the squad.

Not on my watch.

[moof]

Mignolet starts. I'm quite pleased Karius is out of the firing line. Still think he's the better long term option but maybe Simon will have a point to prove and put in a performance. Good decision, Jürg.

[Red House]

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Firmino, Origi.

Subs: Karius, Moreno, Lucas, Stewart, Alexander-Arnold, Ejaria, Woodburn.

[jamespp]

Middlesbrough away on a cold December night, this is a dismal 1-0 defeat if ever I've seen one

[Red House]

No Matip. Ouch.

[Bjornebye]

Happy with that team based on what we have fit but we clearly lack strength in depth still Our bench is full of kids and our centre halves are very worrying.

 

Big night for the front 3 to go out and play like their lives depend on it. There will be no room for dolly mixtures tonight. Klopps the daddy. Next tyme he'll facking kill ye

[Arl arse]

Just get a win Liverpool.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I'm so scared. Hold me.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

That bench proves money has to be spent in January. Matip will be a huge miss as usual.

Defenders aside I don't see too much bottle in that side for this type of fixture. Hope to God I'm wrong. As usual.

[Stickman]

That bench looks lighter than Cheryl Cole....

 

No Matip either why is it when we get someone half decent they turn into Sturridge

[Arl arse]

I'm so scared. Hold me.

*Hugs* Its going to be okay hun *Hugs*

[Red House]

I'm so scared. Hold me.

 

I'm guessing that request is not addressed to any of our keepers.

[Gym Beglin]

That bench looks lighter than Cheryl Cole....

 

 

I could lift her over my head and kiss her puny anus.

Cheryl Cole travels around on a light breeze.

[Jhinge Machha]

trumo match thread curse lives on.

[Megadrive Man]

Why is Matip out?

[3 Stacks]

I expect every decent player we have to pull a muscle either tonight or Monday. With the state of our bench they'll all be playing 270 minutes in a one week period.

[an tha]

State of our bench.

 

Squad is just full of holes.

[eeyore]

Why is Matip out?

Infected with dansyndrome
