EFL cup Q/F - Villa (Away)

[Modo]

Klopp has just named the squad that will travel to Qatar for the World club cup. Two names of interest in relation to this game are in it, Neco Williams and Curtis Jones.
The two lads will not be participating in the Villa game.

Neco is the kid who hit the cross to Origi in the last minute of the Arsenal game.

In the last game U23 game the following were missing and might give a slight indication to what team we might start with:

Caoimhin Kelleher, Ki-Jana Hoever, Sepp van den Berg, Yasser Larouci, Morgan Boyes, Pedro Chirivella, Herbie Kane, Isaac Christie-Davies, Harvey Elliott, Luis Longstaff, Tony Gallacher and Rhian Brewster.



So it might look like this:

Caoimhin Kelleher

Tony Gallacher
Ki-Jana Hoever
Sepp van den Berg
Yasser Larouci

Pedro Chirivella
Elijah Dixon-Bonner
Isaac Christie-Davies

Harvey Elliott
Rhian Brewster
Herbie Kane

It’s going to be an absolute banter game

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

I think we will embarrass those twats.

I don’t think it’s that simple. I think that Klopp has three squads for 3 games intersecting like a Venn diagram. Some senior players will play vs Villa and then fly out for the final. So we will play two less than 100% teams in the villa game and the Monterrey game with full strength for the final

Eg shaq, Lallana, Gomez and Adrian play with the core U23 guys whilst the best U23 play in the Monterrey fixture with 2/3 of the firstteam

Doesn’t look that way from the list of players who flew to Qatar today!

Did they fly or is that just our official squad?

I think they flew, there’s a pic of players getting on the flight and Divock was a noticeable player getting on from those you think might be held back for Villa

 

[Hansern]

We’ll lose, and probably quite a bad result. But who cares, and it will be a great experience for the kids.

Park the bus for 89 mins then go all out last min with inverted Christmas tree. CM 00/01 tactic but you need a Peter Prosper or Marcelo Gallardo for it to have a chance.

Yep, I'd give them a microscopic chance if it was at Anfield.

How great would it be if we did? Not that we need more games like, but if we went through after all the fiasco that's surrounded it, it'd be immense.

I'm guessing Villa already believe they're through and knowing the squad we've put forward for it, they're bound to be pretty much full strength. Who could blame them?

 

[mark1975]

I have to say aswell, I was really impressed with Williams in the Arsenal game, he seems to have it all - great passing and crossing, skill and composure on the ball. He's going to be a player if he carries on performing like that.

 

[Dreambeliever]

We’ll get humped which is very unfair.

[Hyena]

Well get hump which is very unfair.

Nah. It's fine. Kids will have the day of their lives.

 

[doctor_mac]

Gini has travelled suggesting that twinge he felt yesterday isn't too serious, which is great news.

 

[gkmacca]

It's not inconceivable Herbie Kane could play, but as a stocky, relatively slow-moving and these days primarily defensive midfielder, I doubt he'll be in the front three.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Nah. It's fine. Kids will have the day of their lives.

Not so sure about that. What will they learn if they get smashed 6-0

 

[Dreambeliever]

I think he’d travel regardless as it’s a bit of a mini camp and Klopp would want him there

Klopp actually said with his own beautiful German mouth that he'd judge whether Gini went or not depending on the severity of the injury.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

That they need to get better or work harder if they're going to make it.

What do you think the team will be?

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I reckon the young lads will spring a surprise or two.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I honestly think Klopp would love to go out of this.

We go through & our fixture list will be INSANE.

If we do go through I really wouldn't be surprised if he allows the same team to play the next game too.

 

[MomoWASright]

Villa will put their kids out too. They’re 17th and have a 6 pointer against Southampton on Saturday.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Shankly : “I always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside… Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.”

Klopp’s Shankly in a German body. Our kids will go out there to try to win.

It would actually be amazing if they did.
Big of them not to capitalise on our situation and say fuck it, let's make it a reserve game.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Him and jfk ... master humper potuses

Was about to post this. No way Villa goes with a strong squad given their position on the table, only ahead of 18th because of gd, and the game against Soton, which would be their 3rd game in a week. Plus knowing ahead of time we’re playing the reserves i think makes it even more likely they’ll rest their key players.
