Pre Match - Saints (a) - Tuesday 1945

[Brizzle]

This one has come around quickly from the weekend. We’ll need a bit of rotation, and guess we need to see if those subbed (Virgil, Mo) will start.

i think we’ll go

Ali
Trent Matip Konate Tsimikas
Fabs
Jones Keita
Salah Bobby Jota

Win here and anything can happen on final day of the season!

 

[SummerOnions]

Fabs is injured, I expect Salah and Virg to be rested. I'd also figure Hendo will not start after 120 mins.

I wouldn't say I'd like to experiment but we need to watch the legs

Ali
Gomez Matip Konate Robbo
Keita Jones Milner
Jota Firmino Diaz

Fabs isn't playing.. surely?

I'd go

‐-----------------Ali------------------
Gomez--Matip--Konate--Tsimikas
--‐--------------Hendo------------
-------Jones-------Keita‐---------
-----Diaz----Firmino---- Jota


Bring on Milner for Henderson 60
Origi for Diaz at 60 too

But that's why I'm not the manager.

Trent needs a break, rest Mo, VvD, Robbo and Thiago for Sunday.

 

[Markeh]

Do we really have to play Bobby? He looks rustier than the titanic

 

[Brizzle]

Klopp said that Fabs was in full training on Friday, so he’s a maybe surely? Hard to see what we do as i think both Hendo & Thiago are fragile post 120 mins!

 

[moron]

Well its decided today, we play the team with players who we think can beat Southampton away. That should mean:

1) We don't have to take risks with our very best as we don't need to.
2) Just win the game - don't worry about the score. It matters not now.

Should be easy enough.

 

[SummerOnions]

We need Firmino in form, or Origi in form, or indeed Jota in form

What? Briz what are you on mate?! This is the match where the squad plays its part.

Mo, VvD and Fabs will all be out - even if fit they won't be chanced. Trent, Thiago and Hendo must all be knackered and could be rested too. The midfield is an issue but I expect Jones to start and maybe Milner too. The defence is strong and the attack isn't poor by any stretch.

I expect to see Hendo, Thiago, Diaz and Mane come on if we are struggling.

-------------------------------- Ali

Gomez -------- Matip ---------- Konate -------- Tsimikas

---------------------------- Milner
--------------- Keita ------------------ Jones

Jota ------------------- Bobby --------------- Origi

It won't be remotely easy. They know how to scrap and make it difficult for opposition teams. I agree we should rest those we can afford to rest but I wouldn't be surprised if one or two are needed off the bench on the day.

You’ve said “what am i on” then only suggested 3 differences.

What are you on?!

 

[Frogfish]

You’ve said “what am i on” then only suggested 3 differences.

What are you on?!

It's not how many - it's that you included Fabs & Mo !

 

[The Nomad]

I think this is the team. We just need to win.

I toyed with Milner and Origi. The fact that Milner played 60 minutes swayed if back to Henderson for me for 60 minutes.

 

[MomoWASright]

I think we’ll see Thiago, Henderson and Mané on during the second half.

 

[dee]

My only concern with playing Milner is that he looks like a Red card waiting to happen

Obviously 0-1 with thee fewest “starters” and no injuries is the target

 

[Brizzle]

It's not how many - it's that you included Fabs & Mo !

Fabs will start

 

[tomasjj]

it is fantastic that west ham and bowen gave us this chance

those in our first 11 who are fit must start, we shouldn't give them belief that they can get a win
we can rest them after 65-70 min

I reckon only one of the full backs rest from the start

 

[tomasjj]

Fabs isn't playing.. surely?

I'd go

Where is Mane? should also come on

 

[Buddha]

Origi, Jones and Tsimikas should all be starting this one.

 

[mom]

City will annihilate Villa at home so the league is gone. Rest em all for the final

It's the most likely outcome yes. But where is your romance?

It's Gerrard
It's Ings
It's Phil

It's a one off game against a makeshift back 4.

 

[Red rose]

 

[Donavan Ried]

Do we really have to play Bobby? He looks rustier than the titanic

Needs to be sharpened up should we need him in Paris

 

[Bradley]

I guess the goal difference pressure is off now as it's very unlikely we'll end up with the same points.

Any win, any way will do.

 

[Hansern]

Can see Trent getting rested here after 120 mins yesterday.

Alisson

Gomez Matip Konate Robertson
Keita Hendo Jones
Mane Firmino Diaz

I’ve twice divorced: I don’t do romance.

 

[Halmeister]

Can see Trent getting rested here after 120 mins yesterday.

Alisson

Gomez Matip Konate Robertson
Keita Hendo Jones
Mane Firmino Diaz

Think Tsimikas will play too

Plus it's Jack Grealish's old club. Keep believing Kelly's heroes!!!

 

[StevieM]

Do Ox, Harvey & Minamino get a call for this one?

Kelleher too maybe?

Kelleher
Gomez - Matip - Konate - The Greek
Harvey - Milner - Jones
Ox - Bobby - Jota

It won’t be that, but I’m tempted.
