Trent struggle? The whole fucking team struggled, the only honorable exceptions were Becker, van Dijk and Gomez.

 

In fact, the van Dijk-Gomez partnership has been one of the highlights of the season so far.

Trent was particularly bad, and he has been for weeks (im being charitable)

 

Yes, it has. I’ve said so myself on many occasions.

Trent was fucking awful, he was caught out of position constantly.

Really dont understand the strong faith some have in Clyne. Has hardly played any football for a year, wasn’t anything special before that and hasn’t been very impressive since he came back.

 

If TAA were going to be dropped or rested, the logical decision for me would be to put Clyne in and keep Gomez at CB. But Klopp’s choice may be as good or better. If anything I’d be worried about how Lovren will do at CB.

He should be fine, he’s one of the best CBs in the world, he said so himself

[3 Stacks]

In his current form, Mendy would have eaten TAA alive on the left flank. It's a different threat than when Delph was there or Laporte of whoever. It's something you 100% have to deal with and Gomez at this moment is the most well placed to do that. 

[mattyq]

I'm waiting for the end of the game and then I can moan about dropping TAA or moan about the the Klopp doubters

If it's a draw I can moan about both in the same post

Either way hope we get beat

 Nerves kicking in now!

Right, how could I forget.

Strange game to move Gomez into a position where he looks like a championship player and bring back a woeful defender into the line up.

 

The attack is going to need to click big time.

Defence does not worry me...it is the midfield i am concermed about.

 

It has no creativity, no goal threat and looked very tired in midweek.

Reported.

If TAA is struggling i would play Fabinho at Rb. He has a lot of experience there and offers more than Clyne and Gomez in that position.

Is it possible we are playing three at the back? Hard to see who would be the right side though...

I very much doubt that

[Elite]

Not confident but we can do it if we are on song. Need the front 3 to do the business today as we aren't keeping a clean sheet.

That midfield has performed time and time again against big sides, including City

 

I don’t recall Gomez having too many good games at right back and imo we’ve broke up the reason why our defence has looked so good.  A settled top class trio in the middle.

Fair point but i still think defence will be ok and that 3 in middle are more of a 'problem' but lets hope it all clicks

[Elite]

Carragher commentating, therefore every minor error we make will be criticised to high heaven and every good thing City do will be welcomed with orgasmic approval.

[Scrump]

Enjoying a particularly fine single Gloucester

Come on Redmen, please win

[magicrat]

Never mind Keita and his back spasms I've got serious arse spasms now.

[jonnyp]

Come On Liverpool!

[Anubis]

I’m feeling left out on the hysteria front, so I’m putting you on notice that I’ll freak out on the 17 minute mark.

[bizzle10]

our front 3 are due to hit top form at some point today would be nice

[Bjornebye]

Kodi is playing up again anyone got a decent stream?
