"Hey kids have you thought about drinking the milk of another animal"?

 

I'm pretty sure our species considered that before the neolithic revolution. 

 

I'll never understand the point of advertising milk. Its like advertising the concept of chairs.

Well shit I better go and drink some milk now.

Our 21s play Fleetwood in the Leasing.com Trophy on Wednesday evening too, so I don't expect too many youth/reserve players to be with the first team. There will be a few of course.

 

I'd run this side out against MK.

 

Adrian; Hoever, Gomez, Lovren, Larouci; Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Milner; Jones, Brewster, Shaqiri.

 

Subs: Lonergan, Matip, Chirivella, Keita, Clarkson, Firmino, Origi.

 

If Origi isn't fit then Harvey Elliott would be the obvious replacement, though I reckon 90 minutes against Fleetwood would be better for him. Same reason I've not picked Kelleher, as 90 minutes is more important than being sat on the bench in a League Cup game.

Larouci got a knock last week think he will be fit mate?

I was just editing my post regarding Larouci.

 

I'm not 100% on Larouci as he's recently suffered with dehydration so not sure if the lad is fully good to go. Adam Lewis is the next obvious choice, but he too has just come back from a slight knock, so perhaps Milner at left back with Leighton Clarkson starting and bossing it from the 6 while Lallana watches on and sees how that role should be played.

From the bench or the playing surface??

Oh, from the pitch. He'll learn more playing next to the lad.

 

In all seriousness, I like Lallana and think he'll do well in the 6, but I'm a big fan of the lad Clarkson and hope he's involved with the first team on Wednesday.

Lewis was sub the other night as you know.

Yes. I don't like him at left back, I just don't rate him like others do.

Keita is targeting this game for his comeback, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him start mate.

Me either as you know, put him in if Larouci is out. I like Neco Willliams though.

I hope so G.

He hadn't trained enough to make the bench Sunday but Klopp said Wednesday is the realistic target, so I'm guessing he'll certainly be on the bench and get at least 25-30 minutes if he doesn't start.

Yes, Neco on the right has a bright future. Much will depend where we see Hoever's long term position.

Herbie Kane debut.

Elliott on the bench.

Lallana and Brewster both to limp off at some point.

Lewis to be sent off, if he plays in this game.

You best had or else when you grow up you’ll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Maybe the only real way to watch this competition is with an ice cool can of Caraboa with milk and coca-cola chasers.

I did initially have Herbie on the bench instead of Keita. Swap Herbie with Pedro then...

 

I remember reading somewhere that the reason we didn't send Herbie out on loan was because Jurgen wanted a closer look at the lad in the league cup.

 

Herbie had a fantastic loan at Doncaster last season, and really should have gone back out on loan this season. The lad needs to be playing first team football.

Agree 100%. A player who can get into the League One team of the year at 19 while playing for a good-but-not-dominant side like Donny ought to be spending this season in the Championship, at the very least.

He had a move to hull fall through I think.  Sure he'll be out in January.  Might be a blessing in disguise if he gets a bit more time training with the first team
