Liverpool v City - Community Shield. Sunday 4 Aug, 3pm, BT Sport

[psl]

Thought this deserved it's own thread. It would be lovely to beat them.

 

Klopp seemed surprised by suggestions that it's not taken too seriously. Not sure Bobby or Mo will start though.

 

Not sure where they are in their preparation. Aguero cant have been back too long and Mahrez presumably is still away.

 

Alisson

 

Robbo

Virgil

Matip

Trent

 

Ox

Hendo

Milner

 

Gini

Origi

Salah

 

Anyway, 'we are the champions, champions of Europe!'.

[Hightown Phil]

They’re missing Laporte and Fernandinho so they should be a little short at centre back with Otamendi being in the Copa America club.

[psl]

Jesus must have been away also.

[McBain]

Jesus must have been away also.

Him and Aguero have only just come back

[The_Adder]

Start Keita, wanna see what he can really do.

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

I’d start Oxlade-Chamberlain in the front three

[McBain]

Still being careful with Ox by the looks of it. He's still struggling with a calf strain

[Swipe]

Might just have been a bad game but was a bit startled by how unfit AOC looked against Napoli. Miles off the pace in the bit of the game I watched. 

 

Actually, 'unfit' is probably unfair. Just rusty. 

[Maldini]

He looked very good in the states, the calf strain must be affecting him

I thought they all looked like that to be fair.

[Swipe]

Yeah, that's fair. Was pretty rubbish. 

[tag]

Allison

TAA, Gomez, Virg, Robertson

Fabinho

Henderson, Keita

Salah, Origi, Wilson

[Sion]

They'll be playing Danilo or Walker at CB you'd think.

[épieur]

I’d start Oxlade-Chamberlain in the front three

We really should avoid playing Wijnaldum in front three if at all possible.

Bobby and Mo aren't quite fit enough to start a showpiece event and a huge, heavy pitch.  But they need games as they've missed so many of the preseason ones.  I think they'll both start.

 

Klopp will go with:

Alisson

TAA Matip VvD Robertson

Three Random Midfielders

Salah Firmino Origi

[Hightown Phil]

We can make 6 subs as well. So you'd think that the six we make will be the three midfielders and the front three.

[Bailo]

He so weird

[Swipe]

Oddball. 

 

Everything seems to bother him. 

[Stanley Leisure]

Messiah complex.

[Smith]

Napoleon complex.

[Earl Hafler]

That smirk after “ it’s Liverpool ‘ You’ll Never Walk Alone ‘ “

 

f*** off.

[kop205]

His press conferences about us are like something straight off their forums.

 

Surpised he doesn't start referrring to us 'the dippers'.

 

Maybe he's back on the gear and it is sending him funny.

Didn't they buy mahrez last season?

Yes
