A bit of knowledge for those blaming Klopp.
We don’t want to get kicked out do we?

City started 2-3 first teamers yesterday, do you think they'll get a reprimand? Fuck that.

I'd have been VERY surprised if Mac had travelled!

Well you know, brotherly reunion and all that!

 

[Frogfish]

This is the squad;
GK: Kelleher, Pitaluga, Mrozek
DEF: Gomez, Konate, Tsimikas, Quansah, Scanlon, Bradley, Chambers
MID: Endo, Szoboszlai, Jones, Elliott, Gravenberch, McConnell, Hill
FWD: Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, Gordon, Doak, Koumas

Good. And whoever starts shouldn't start versus United.

Good. And whoever starts shouldn't start versus United.

I think you could give the likes of Endo, one of Gravy or Curtis and one of Gakpo or Nunez a run until the 65th minute and they’d be right for the Utd game.

It’s only Tsimikas & Diaz in that squad that played the full game against Fulham - so Endo, Curtis & Gakpo could start, come off early in the 2nd half and be good.

Id be really tempted to play Nunez here - he needs a lift - he’s got yo be close to being benched - I fancy as soon as Jota’s back or Gakpo has a decent game and scores, Nunez is going to revert to the last 30 minute from the bench option when we can just let him gallop wild for a bit.

Who's going to skipper the side? Jones?

This great man right here.

 

[Fabio]

For fucks sake can we just not get szob a rest please. He could have stayed at home with his feet up

[Fabio]

Be interesting to see that very youthful wing play

 

[Hansern]

Can only assume that Konate needs minutes and working on his fitness after the injury

 

[binomial]

Fuck risking Jones, Elliott, Endo, Gomez (are you fucking crazy), Gakpo or Quansah.

Well at least he didn't risk Gomez......

 

[binomial]

Is it stronger than what we'd have all liked it to be? Yes.

Was Jurgen going to ever play a team of u21's + Kelleher? No.

 

[Fabio]

Be quite good to see Elliott and Jones work together as well

 

[ibromurph]

Give Konate 45 mins. Gakpo 60mins. Then wrap them up.

 

[dee]

Kaide Gordon! Interesting! Presumably on the left?

Little taster of what's to come for the next 10 years.

Watch them stink the place out now.

Also that’s one very, very second string which is great to see from Klopp but UEFA may not be quite as pleased as me, nor Toulouse.
Although the chances of Toulouse losing are about 0.0%

 

[Judge Jules]

Who's going to skipper the side? Jones?

Apparently so:

 

[binomial]

Who gives a fuck about Toulouse.

They should be grateful we didn't put a stronger team and beat their ass just as bad as the first time.

& if UEFA have something to say (I'd find it bizarre if they did) they can suck a giraffe's dick too.

Be great to see Gordon start.

100%

Kaide’s first touch and first twatting from behind!

 

[dee]

Kaide Gordon! Interesting! Presumably on the left?

Nope - on the right. Doak playing left

Christ were as awful as you’d expect

Amoura looks rapid.

Great pass Endo to Jones

Corking pass/cross from Bradley to Gakpo

Followed up by being skinned
