Bench for the final

[Razoray]

The first eleven picks itself but who will be the 7 on the bench?

 

Mignolet

Klavan

Moreno

Lallana

Solanke

The above 5 are close to nailed on.

 

The last 2 will probably come from Clyne, Can and Ings. Who do you think will be picked and also who would you choose?

[Joe Strummer]

We're fucked.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

We're fucked.

Faith, man!  There's not a game-changer on that bench, but with our first XI we don't need one.  Instead, we have to pick 7 from 8 competent and (mostly) experienced professionals.

 

Our last European Final was just two years ago.  As a mark of how far we've come, here's our starting line-up and bench from Basel.

 

GK 22  Simon Mignolet

 

RB 2  Nathaniel Clyne

CB 6  Dejan Lovren

CB 4  Kolo Touré    

LB 18  Alberto Moreno

 

CM 7  James Milner (c)

CM 23  Emre Can

RW 20  Adam Lallana    

AM 11  Roberto Firmino    

LW 10  Philippe Coutinho

 

CF 15  Daniel Sturridge

 

 

GK 52  Danny Ward

DF 37  Martin Škrtel

MF 14  Jordan Henderson

MF 21  Lucas

MF 24  Joe Allen    

FW 9  Christian Benteke    

FW 27  Divock Origi

[Captain Turdseye]

As long as Klopp is on the bench I’ll remain hopeful we’ve got a chance.

[Joe Strummer]

I jest and you make a good point but if things are not going our way were a bit snookered whereas theyre bench is very strong.

 

I'd say Clyne misses out. Can could be an option off the bench to tighten it in midfield late on.

[Aventus]

Real will have a bench full of players that offer something different without much of a drop in quality.

 

We have a bench full of players that are worse than the first 11 in their given positions.

 

So it's going to be difficult, if something isn't working out for Real then they can make tactical substitutions and rejig without much cause for concern.

 

If something isn't working out for us then the first 11 are the ones who need to rejig themselves, other than maybe Lallana coming on there's no real tactical subs he can make.

 

Then in the 80th minute it's gonna be Klavan on if we're winning, or Solanke on if we're losing.

Neither of those scenarios are good for my nerves but we're guaranteed to have one of them.

[Chip Butty]

We're going to get ruddy thumped

[Bjornebye]

Imagine Solanke coming on when we need a goal.

I'd rather not

Best pic I could find of it. Looks good.

THE BENCH!!!

[Edward.]

Solanke to score the winner.

[dockers_strike]

I think Jurgen will go gung ho in the final. I think Ings and Solanke make the bench. Sounds like Can has proved his fitness so I think he will make it. If anyone is not as fit as we think then I can see Clyne getting in.

 

Mignolet
Klavan
Moreno
Lallana

The thought of Morono coming on at any stage for any reason is truly depressing.

[BCM]

The thought of Morono coming on at any stage for any reason is truly"hide behind the couch" Terrifying.

Fixed that for you

[General Dryness]

Imagine Solanke coming on when we need a goal.

The boys broke his duck in a red shirt with that cracker against Brighton. He'll be banging them in now.

 

Get on him for a hatty right at the end of the final. Six crazy minutes all over again.

[Grinch]

Our bench is always pathetic, unless we're resting players and that means starting players not fit to wear the jersey.

[Greycellgreen]

Our bench should be stronger than it has been recently, but I use the word 'stronger' very loosely.  

 

Mignolet

Moreno

Klavan

Lallana

Ings

Can

Clyne

 

Would be my guess, although as already said, Klopp's on our bench so we've always got a chance.

[Razoray]

It is indicative of a poor squad considering Ox Matip and Gomez are the only ones out, especially up front

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Probably Recaro seating but knowing the Old East it could be a few blocks.
