Have to play our best possible 11. Burnley are a good side.

 

Solanke and Grujic can play in the league cup but not the league.

 

We still need a proper goalscorer, we are so wasteful.

 

Trent and Gomez are inexperienced enough, add the likes of Grujic and Solanke and it's looking like a reserve side!

Well, i look at the midfield of Hen do, Wij and Can and consider their overall performances this season and i think that they have largely underperformed, except in the arsenal game where they faced cowardice a level even below their capability. I don't believe that adding Grujic makes us more of a reserve side. He is younger and hasnt played as much as i would have liked, because i believe that he will develop into a player beyond any of those 3, and i see little value in persevering with the so called first team in this area as we will get what we are used to getting, which isn't good enough over all, looking good when we click going forward and hiding when we are under pressure or looking for some inspiration. I suspect that he will be overlooked for the tried and trusted (but the tried and failed for me).

 

As for Solanke, i believe that his mobility and physicality with his ability in the air make him the right option for a game like this. Again, a young player who I think will likely only get a substitutes appearance, but a perfect player to develop in situations like this. He should start and find a groove, not get a few minutes chasing the game or when we are wasting seconds with a lead.

He seems to have taken Origis role in the squad already and he needs a chance. It is unrealistic to play Firmino every game, he certainly has some stinkers if he is not managed appropriately or played on the wing.

I'd forgotten about Solanke and Grujic. Even Robertson seems a distant memory, and he played in the Palace game. Right? I would like a win and seeing us finally figure out how to break a defensive team down, would be most satisfying. Same result as the last time we played these at Anfield will do for me.

Grujic must be walking round behind Klopp doing wanker signs at every training session or something. Looked more than good enough in pre-season and our midfield has been shite so far.

He looked raw as fuck and he's rightly in the reserves for now. Clearly has something about him but no more promising than Shelvey was ar that age.

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Klavan, Robertson, Milner, Can, Coutinho, Salah, Firmino, Sturridge.

 

Substitutes: Karius, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Henderson, Moreno, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Solanke.

 

Fucking hell - when you look at that team half of it shouldn't be anywhere near a team with supposed title/top 4 ambitions.
