In Klopp I'm a believer.

What do you reckon guys? play the kids? No doubt we'll have 1 eye on the Chelsea game.

I know we all feeling depleted at the moment but I'm sure after a good nights sleep we'll all be ok.

Hopefully 7th time of asking we can 'bounce back'. Anything other than the win would be the worst month in our history....and would see fans turning on Klopp quite quickly.

Karius Alexander-Arnold Gomez Klavan Moreno Stewart Ejaria Ojo Coutinho Wilson Origi
 
Oh just rest everyone, they're so tired and we have such a great squad and we should be given a cup just for feigning interest.
 
We should use it as a good run out for the strongest line up. There were patches today were they moved well.. and more link up before Chavs will do them good.

However I would rest Milner and possibly Firmino. They had the most exposure som far. Moreno and Origi in.
 
Play the kids. All of them.

Squad's too tired and it's not like the first team can win anyway
 
Kids plus Moreno Karius Lucas Can Origi TAA Klavan. Rest everyone else for Tuesday. The league is 99.9% gone, but if we lose on Tuesday it's history, and fourth becomes increasingly difficult.
 
I'd play many of our better players, particularly those out of form.

Origi, Sturridge, Klaven, Karius, Can and Matip should all start because they need minutes on the pitch/chance to turn their form around. The kids haven't impressed enough to be selected by default and the FA Cup is too important to dismiss, particularly when we're not in Europe.
 
Usually I'd be in favour of playing the kids for this one but I'll be watching it with a Wolves supporting mate and he will be intolerable if we lose to them so for purely selfish reasons I want a strong team
 
We play Chelsea on Tuesday, so we'll see quite a few players rested I imagine.

I want to see a CB partnership of Gomez and Matip. That could be our future CB pairing.

It could be, but that's based on almost no evidence whatsoever.
 
The first team has been busy lately, but not that busy that many of them can be used in this game. We need a bit of positive energy as well, and although Wolves definately will park the bus and bite us in the ancles, we should use the game to sharpen a few players.

Karius. - Given

Alexander - Given if clyne is injured or won't be risked
Matip - Given as he needs match fitness
Klavan/Lucas/Gomez - Either one to give Lovren a rest
Moreno - Given to give Milner a rest

Can - Probably to give Hendos heel a rest. Not ideal, we don't have too many to fill Hendo's position. Can is probably best alternative at the moment if we don't decide to give Stewart the job
Wijnaldum - Has strong engine, didn't play much wednesday. Also need to lift his game
Ejara - To give Lallana a rest. Lallana has run a lot lately, and we need him fresh for the Chavs game

Ojo - Nice touch of first team ball
Origi - Need a (good) game to lift his mood
Coutinho - Start the game and maybe replace at half time.
 
This is realistically our last chance this season of winning a trophy so in my opinion no way should we be playing a weakened team. If the kids struggled against Plymouth then they might find it even harder against Wolves who no doubt will adopt everyone's latest tactic against us and get 11 men behind the ball and wait for us to make a mistake defensively.
Having said that I expect the team to be mostly kids and fringe players as Jurgen doesn't seemed too fussed with the FA Cup either this year or last.

Liverpool as FA cup winners 16/17 has a nice ring to it.

Certainly not out of reach.
 
........................ Karius

AA ....... Matip ........... Gomez ...... Moreno

...................... Stewart

....... Can ........................ Ejaria

Wilson ..... Sturridge or Origi ............. Ojo

I don't think Grujic is fit yet is he ? If so I'd like to him on then bench, with Woodburn.
 
Obviously, and only based on that Matip is boss and that Gomez is extremely talented.
I'd love to see them start together tomorrow.
He has shown himself to a be a quality fullback. Jury is still out whether he can make it as a CB in the Premier League but as you say he needs games.
 
Liverpool Winners of anything sounds good to me. Except the fair play award, I think that teams who win that are pushovers.

Fa cup is the last chance of proper glory this season.

Get past Wolves and we can look forward to seeing who's in the pot for the 5th round and start to access our chances of winning, we'd have Mane back and we can start to look good again.

Individual awards mean nothing to LFC.
