Gomez is a no brainer. If anything, if Klopp is worried about their speed with Rashford on the left, he will play Gomez there and Matip as the CB. But very unlikely and unnecessary.
I think the only change should be Fabinho (if fit) in for AOC.
Trent is going to need inside cover from Hendo to deal with Rashford cutting in. I'm not confident either Lallana or Ox would provide it.
We need to use the squad we have.
Hendo Gini defo need rests, they both looked really poor today. Gomez looked leggy, good time for Matip to come in.
It feels like any side we put out will win anyway so it's no big deal
to be fair, Gomez has played himself into good form and doesn’t warrant dropping, it is also the one position where Klopp has allowed the player in form and in the team to keep his position.
United’s main strength, if they have one, is they have good pace on the counter attack. Keeping Gomez in is a safer move IMO.
I like rotation too, it does reduce injury and is good for team spirit when numerous players feel involved.
even if you consider the amount of slagging that players like Hendo and Lallana have received etc... Lovren our fourth choice centre back etc etc....
ALL of em when asked to step in and play have done just that and moreover done well as they did so...
it’s true to say that not one single player we’ve seen in a red shirt has deserved “dropping” all of em have been fully engaged.
I do not mind the rotation, but Gomez’s pace will be useful.
The fact that it’s the fucking mancs... who rely on pace.... yadda yadda yadda...
the fact is if we fucking win... fuck man.... that trophy is getting closer... I’m gonna be on the other side of the fucking world... I had a Christmas pint with an old old mate of mine when back home and he was telling me he drove to Liverpool from Leeds to see big ears arriving with his eldest... 16 year old son... said his son said it was the greatest day of his life....
I’m 46 years old... I was 16 when we last won it...
fuck it... I’m gonna be working... and even if I could wangle time off... 2000$... but then... 30 fucking years... fuuuuuuuuck.
ps...
apologies for train of thought vomit... watching till 230am is a fucker sometimes...
I just want us to fucking win it.
It’s gonna cost me 10k and I’m coming home for it,
The only change from this weekend Id consider is Wjinaldum. He looked absolutely spent in the second half, but Im sure Klopp will monitor his recovery and stamina in training this week before making a call. Hes a great player in high tempo games like Utd but he may need a break. If he can hold on another week Im sure Klopp will be happy to rotate Fabinho back in and give him a break v Wolves.
I took it as the time it would take him to grow a beard of that nature. Rather vague to be sure but a quaint notion too.
Personally I wouldn't start Ox. He gave away a lot of possession last week and did the same again yesterday, he was pretty anonymous for long periods. Lallana was much better and helped us regain control when he came on. I still want to see MM for 70 mins+ though !
He is another that has to play imo.
Not a chance he’s a must for a game like this.
That's mainly because we have recently played the fixture not the team in front of us. Last season was weird especially our inability to take advantage of those three forced substitutions.
It's at Anfield. Our lads won't like them having taken points off us this season.
5-0.
5-0.
They need to focus on the cup [emoji56]
They seem to always raise their game against us. We need one of those games where everything goes our way again, like the Leicester away game. I want us to really embarrass them.
Not sure they raise their game, but somehow they manage to ruin our.
The 'ol form goes out of the window cliche applies here more than it does in our actual derby game.
They'll be pumped up to take points off us and can hurt us on the counter (we didn't look too comfortable dealing with the likes of Moura against Spurs) so ya never know.
I'd love it if we dished our a proper thrashing though. It's almost certainly what will be awaiting them in the next game at City as well.
Allison, TAA, Gomez, VDV, Robertson, Gini, Henderson, Lallana, Mane, Salah, Firmino
Gini has to start for me. The only real question is who takes that last midfield spot. Lallana, if we're being fair, is in better form.

Think they'll set up similar to Spurs and play as direct as possible, looking to rattle and exploit the right side of our defence.
I wouldn't mind putting Matip straight back providing he's ready. Gomez looked rattled against Spurs and didn't cope with the pace or directness of Spurs.
Lallana also looked in better form than Chamberlain. The rest picks itself.
