Surprised with Wirtz, thought this was the right game for him with maybe a bit more space. But, maybe he'll use that better against tired legs, if he comes on in the last 20/30.
Bradders RB and Wirtz benched.
Good to see Cheesy on the bench at least. Hopefully motivates Gakkers
It's a big choice to pick him over Wirtz. Whichever one of them started really needs to be better than they have been thus far.
I trust Macca more than Wirtz.
Actually, we all should trust Macca more than Wirtz.
He's going with the tried and trusted and that's what most of us wanted
Most fans want Gakpo to start over Ekitike?
If Ekitike starts we have no striker on the bench.
I assume Ekitike isn't quite fit after the knock midweek, which made that an easy decision. I wasnt expecting him to start.
Cheesy
This too
Makeshift
I mean Isak isn't fit either...
But we don't need a striker on the bench. We should have our best forward on the pitch & the one that's in no form at all on the bench.
Strange selection: I don’t expect much from this game. Either Arne is smarter than the rest of us or he is blind to the problems with his favorites
At least 4 poor performers and 2 players lacking match fitness.
Has dropped 3-4 stronger performers.
Liverpool:
Mamardashvili, new, May be issues
Van Dijk,
Konate, Poor at the moment
Kerkez, Below par but improving
Szoboszlai,
Isak, Not match fit
Mac Allister, Not match fit
Salah, Poor at the moment
Bradley, Poor at the moment
Gakpo, Really poor at the moment
Gravenberch.
Subs: Wirtz (?!), Chiesa, Ekitike could easily be playing

If Macca was fit, no question.
We’re too easy to play through right now. I think having unfit players on the pitch is one of the reasons for that
Let's fucking do these.
It’s not quite last year’s midfield though.
Missing Diaz who played as much as an 8 as a 9. Diaz was our best counter presser last season
He was a great outlet. We have not replaced
There is a reasonable chance that Arne is smarter than the rest of us, otherwise he is paid too much.
