Liverpool FC v Porto - European Cup Group B - Weds 24 Nov @ 20:00

[Gethin]

Dead rubber 'cos we've already won the group.

Jurgen will probably rotate - but not as much as we think / want. I'd be starting the likes of Kelleher, Konate, Tsimi, Minamino along with Neco & Div if they're fit enough. Leave Hendo and Robbo to get over their knocks properly

Yep. Unfortunately, due to our injury list, el kloppo’s hands will be tied with this.

A few front line players will have to do a shift.

[Big Red Machine]

Wonder if Morton gets a half.

 

[Earl Hafler]

Play Trent for 65, Konate and Virgil partnership at the back, same midfield with a view to subbing Thiago and Fabinho, give Minamino a start instead of Jota

Get the Utd game on the VAR tv for the bench to laugh at

[smithdown]

Here’s my idea.  Silent disco.  Let’s have it out which stand has the best vibez.

Konate/Matip for me.

[Cam]

I think Jurgen will go stronger than we'd like - build a bit more momentum & confidence, plus lay down a bit of a European marker:

Alisson TAA Matip Konate Tsimikas Henderson Fabinho Oxlade Minamino Jota Mane

I'd be wanting to see Kelleher Phillips Morton in there. Plus Neco & Origi if available. 

[Gethin]

FFS. Just noticed Pigsx7 are playing Albert Hall in Manc on Tuesday and there's a few spares for this kicking around for this on Wednesday - but my bloody in-laws in Manc are away so we'd have to get a hotel.

Bloody useless Mancs

[growler]

I’d be playing Kelleher, konate, Tsimi, Neco, Morton, ox, Taki and giving Gordon some minutes off the bench.

i think we have enough to win by rotating the others through.

The missus hasn’t seen her parents since April so I’ve been told I’m not getting a footy trip unless she gets to go see them

 I think that drifting around their empty house, drinking in their aura of absence, could be a moving experience for her. Light candles and reconnect with them on a spiritual level.

I’ll relay that thought to the missus and come back to you with which word she uses before “off” in the reply

I don't know anything about you Porto 

We wanna take the evening off

We're gonna play the kids cos 

You're a real dead rubber for us

A real dead rubber for us..... 

[growler]

I’m looking forward to seeing our extras get a run out against European team. I’m assuming will be some first teamers so good experience for them. 

[surf]

Keita could be back for this, though being optimistic about Keita's injuries rarely turns out well.

I think the team will be quite a bit stronger than you think. 

There's a small matter of a £2.8m win bonus... 

[Big Red Machine]

I would go...

Kelleher

Neco Konate ?? Kostas

Ox Hendo ??

Minimino Origi ??

It's a shame Gomez, Jones and Milner are out as I'd start them.

But think Klopp will go stronger than I'd want. He started TAA, Jota, Fabinho and Salah in the dead rubber last year. Wouldn't be surprised in Salah, Matip and Thiago start this.

Then again he also started Clarkson so who knows.

Milner is back for this

When they are on it, the evidence to date suggests that the top three in England are simply playing a different game to everyone else, home and abroad. Two out of the best three teams in the world right now won't win their league. That's a bit mad.
