Think Klopp will still give this minimal attention, doubt many of the players playing yesterday will start. Is Neco Williams fit?

 

I'd guess something like this for starting 11:

 

---------------Adrian----------------

Hoever-Matip-Lovren-Robertson

------------------Lallana---------------

-------Keita--------------Jones---------

Elliott‐-------Origi--------Minamino

 

Unless he is injured there is no way Williams won't play.

 

Definitely he will keep Adrian, Williams, Jones and Elliott in - the rest not sure.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Anyone thinking we should half-arse this is a massive shithouse. 

 

The league is in the bag.  We need to trust the manager to know which players need rest and which need game-time. 

 

Go strong. Beat the fuckers. Win the trophy. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I would go all out now. Start wiping the floor with teams again.

[Jimmy Hills Chin]

I’m jealous of city today, I want our own Wembley final. Go strong, beat these fuckers and give the lads a chance to make up for Saturday (well most of them).

[magicrat]

We need to win it after yesterday's abysmal performance 

[VladimirIlyich]

All the fume over our team for the last round and the FA have so much respect for their own competition that they play all the games on a midweek night. Hypocritical cunts.

[TheDrowningMan]

I trust Klopp to field the side he feels most appropriate under the circumstances.
 

I doubt it'll be anything like full strength, firstly because the team looked tired yesterday and secondly because Chelsea away is a tough game. I can’t see him wanting to risk the same team losing twice in the space of four days and ending up with a set of players both tired and in the midst of a crisis of confidence with crucial games against Bournemouth and Atletico coming up before a trip to Goodison.

[Code]

Just fuckin win and dont play Lovren.

Collective noun for suggses, like a pride of lions?

Like Ive said, jib the domestic cups. But at the same time, if Jurgen fields a weakened side at chelsea, he risks the very likelihood of a 2nd defeat in 4 day and then the doomsayers will have a field day.

 

I dont like it but I think Jurgen has to play a stronger team than against everton and shrewsbury to prevent a 2nd successive defeat and try and get some form back into the players.

 

I might sound a bit like your goodself here but in the last few games at Anfield, Bournemouth have been a tough nut to crack so Im expecting that to be a tougher than anticipated game!

I see it differently because I don’t think there’s a guarantee of victory either way - if the first XI lose, particularly to a weakened Chelsea, that’s when I can see them having a field day, at which point the pressure really will be on. With a weakened side, it's a completely separate thing - I don’t think getting smashed by Aston Villa had a knock-on effect on the first team in Qatar and while I’m not advocating playing the kids, I think a line-up similar to the one that beat Everton would be the best option.

 

I just can’t see past the Bournemouth game at the moment. That’s the immediate priority, that’s the next truly big game. I agree that it's unlikely to be a walkover, which is why I wouldn’t want to be going into it off the back of the first team having potentially lost two in a row. For all people saying that the league is essentially won - and after West Ham, I joined them - if we were to drop points against Bournemouth, the next three league games are at Goodison, home to professional game-raisers Crystal Palace and the Etihad, none of which would be remotely appealing for a team looking to arrest a run of poor form.

Correct, there's no gauranteed victory. But the balance of probability suggests defeat is more likely avoided the stronger the team put out.

 

Im sure Jurgen and the boys will not be looking beyond the chelsea game. Fortunately we fans dont have the same limitations.

[johnsusername]

Tired? They've just had two weeks off! 

[Chairman Meow]

We need to bounce back from the shit show of the weekend and gives these slags a right old cockney knees up cunt in the fucking bastard. 

[Red_or_Dead]

This is Chelsea's only chance of a trophy this year and they've been poor recently so they'll be going all out for the win and they've caused us problems in our previous two games.  Get em fucking beat, especially as this in on the BBC and I don't want fucking jugged ear cunt Linekar gloating again.

 

 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Matip for Lovren, Milner or Minamino for Chamberlain. 

[JohnnyH]

The Official site advertised this game showing a picture of the kids playing.  It'll be the kids.  We'll lose.  It'll be our 3rd loss in 4 games.  We'll blow the league.

[VladimirIlyich]

Just cunt them in the bastard and we can talk about the team afterwards.

[kemskem]

I think he'll trust the key non-regulars that have helped get us this far and add to them. So he'll probably have Adrian, Williams, Jones, Lallana, Elliott and Origi in.

I think he'll give Chrivella a game as well. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

All I care about is the league. 4 more wins. 

[dockers_strike]

Jurgen saying Keita still out, Elliott not available, Gomez and Milner available.
