Southampton (H) - FA Cup 5th Rnd - Wed 28th Feb 2024 (8:00pm)

[Torvald Utne]

Strongest team available, like it always should be. Worry about other shit at a later date, imagine being pipped to the league and not having an FA cup final to look forward to because we sacrificed it for the league. Madness.

Jurgen might need to knock his training routine on the head and lower the intensity in matches for a bit . The players are getting absolutely spaded out there

Adrian, Tsimikas, Quansah, Gomez, McConnell, Clark, Elliott, Koumas,Danns and whatever other two players aren’t completely wrecked.

Eliott must play on Wednesday, He just played 120 mn and we need him Saturday.

 

I reckon a few senior players will play as some senior kid like euh Danns / Mc Connel / Clark and then the reals kids nobody knows ….

Yep, training regime definitely responsible for gravenberch and Endo today

[lebron]

How great is it to be a LFC supporter?

 

Judging from Klopp´s comments there will be a LOT of changes for Wednesday. I would say all of Endo, Diaz, Gravenberch (of course), van Dijk and Konate will all be given a rest. Possibly Elliott and Gakpo too.

 

I imagine something like:

 

———————-Kelleher———————-

Bradley—-Quansah—-Gomez—-Tsimikas

——————-MacAllister———————

————Clark—————-McConnell—-

—-Gordon———-Danns———-Gakpo (no idea what our other options are here)

 

Hopefully Southampton are looking ahead to a key league game away against Birmingham (they need to win to keep up with Leeds in the chase for promotion).

 

I would really like us to win on Wednesday, but we need to be careful with our few remaining attack-minded players.

I think that will be pretty close to the team Klopp chooses, but I don’t want to see MacAllister or Gakpo involved.

 

What is up with Gordon? I did not see him involved today. Has he fallen down the pecking order or is he too injured?

You are not the brightest are you? 
 

The injuries are due to accumulated fatigue. The players train like they play these days, its not 1986 where they shoot at boards of wood.

 

Gravenberch, jota and jones were all unfortunate, everyone else is muscle injuries which is from over exerting.

[Bobby Hundreds]

If we win this the Everton game gets moved to the end of the season. That wouldn't be so bad.

[Carra_is_legend]

No replay please. Just win somehow. 

[Anubis]

Saintsweb forum have labelled their match thread Liverpool vs The Quadruple Slayers. Sounds like a challenge.

Not as catchy as Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Have to disagree strongly with this.

 

The squad is on its arse, we have to be pragmatic here.

 

The league is the one we want to win.

[Spy Bee]

Kelleher

 

Bradley Gomez Quansah Costas

Ayonyi McConnel Clarke

Koumas Danns Gordon

 

We'll shit them!

Agreed. As lovely as it would be to win the FA cup, imagine going with the strongest team (especially playing those who ran themselves to the ground yesterday) and losing couple of more players. It will truly fuck up the league for us. 

[No2]

Kelleher 

Bradley

Gomez 

Quansah

Kostas

Clark

McConnell

Carabou Cup

Gakpo

Danns 

Young lad.

 

Should have kept Ox.

Will be parade the trophy on Wednesday? I think a top atmosphere and some kids will be enough to beat what I presume will be a second string Southampton team.

Are there replays now thought that stopped after the 4th round I might be wrong though

Ah, I didn't know that....just checked and you are right, there are no replays beyond 4th round. 

 

Thank fuck. 

[VladimirIlyich]

I think this will be a tough game. Depends on the player's mentality. Southampton will think they can win while our kids are looking for a first team regular place. Just no 'After the Lord Mayor's Show' type of display please lads.

[Carra_is_legend]

If Dom, Nunez and Salah were almost fit for the final, surely atleast 2 of those have a chance to be on the bench atleast?

[Pidge]

I have no idea why people are saying we should play Adrian here. 

 

Kelleher

Bradley (a big risk)

Gomez (c)

Quansah

Tsimikas

McConnell

Clark

Koumas

Gordon

Danns

Gakpo

 

Maybe Mac Allister is able to play as well, but wouldn't risk him. Bunch of kids on the bench, possible good chance for Nyoni, Kone-Doherty, Scanlon etc.

[bizzle10]

Pick 11 kids put them in a red jersey with a liverbird on it and send them out after a Klopp hug

I hated seeing training regime let it's full weight drop on Jota's knee with no attempt to break it's fall.

I suggested Adrian for this one. Purely as I’m now terrified of Kelleher getting injured too.
