I don’t know if we’ll look to rotate or if we have any players back for Thursday, IMO, we played well on Sunday, we created lots of chances and if we play as well again, we’ll win the game. I’d be minded to play the same team, however, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tsmiskas and / or Konate started.

 

Just fucking win.

Just fucking win. 

I would expect us to change things up. Kostas, grav, Elliot and gakpo to all get time. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

If we win this, we're guaranteed to finish in the top 8 for the 62nd consecutive season; that's more than half of the seasons of our entire existence.

 

Consistency, kids.

From the bench hopefully.  Konate to start.  Jones on bench too probably.

Konate can't play 2 games in a week, we should keep him for Sunday. Get him playing the league matches, quansah Sheffield, uefa and Everton.

Happy for them to all get time, apart from Tsmiskas, I don’t think they should be starting.

Sheffield United have let in 50 goals this season so far. FIFTY! 

[TheDrowningMan]

We’ll have enough chances to put 10-12 past them.

We won’t do that, of course, and an inexplicable draw is more likely in reality than a win that would make up the GD deficit with Arsenal, but we’ll probably never get a better opportunity to do a record-breaking demolition job.
 

Would be a really good day to get clinical - in the last couple of months they’ve been beaten by 5 goals or more three times and Bournemouth, despite drawing 2-2 with them, had 32 shots when they played them in March.

[Creator Supreme]

Now that City and Arse have won, we'll obviously lose.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Any excuse to post this.

They've let in more than that. I think their goal difference is -50.

Fucking hell I misread - they've let in 77 goals!

We really do need to make a statement tomorrow night. None of this half arsed opening 20 minutes - we need to be at them and pressing from the front from the off. When they played Arsenal, they visibly gave up when the 3rd went in. We need to do the same and keep going to the end. Whenever we let up the intensity, we always give the relegation fodder hope of nicking something.

I don't think we need to make a statement, three points & no injuries will do fine.

True.

 

A hatful of goals would be nice (obviously) but it's not necessary.

[Code]

A hattrick for both Salah and Nunez would be nice. 
 

Salah to get ahead of Haaland and Nunez to keep in touch with Foden.

Spot on. Goals would be a nice bonus, but we don't need to care about GD or even appear we care about it. Just keep getting 3 points and they can't catch us. They are shite, but 3 points is the target.

Depends what team we decide to play might be the one that chuggs to a 2-0 

[Code]

Sheffield Utd have even more injuries than us.

 

 

[JohnnyH]

The chat around Endo suggests he’ll be on the bench. I think Jones will start with possibly Harvey, and Macca plying the 6. Sobo and Endo rested for the weekend but available to come on if needed.

Does it make any difference for them? The drop off in quality can't be too great.

Klopp has pretty much said Jones won't start.

 

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Klopp said: “Curtis is in training, full training, and is in contention. That doesn’t mean he can play 90 minutes, [but] he can play a few minutes.”

[LFC 6 Times]

Would give a few a rest for this. Kelleher, Bradley, Quansah, Virgil, Tsimikas, Mac, Elliot, Gravenberch, Mo, Gakpo, Diaz.

I dont know, I thought Wilder said earlier the week they had started to prepare for next season already.
