Nah. We mean business. A domestic double is at stake. Full Speed!!!
I was thinking along these lines, but this midfield looks too one-paced. I would go: Fabinho, Milner, Ox.

Yep. Our season would come to crashing halt as far as motivation is concerned if we go out of the CL (strong possibility the way we are playing) and FAC. We need to get back into the fast lane and this match offers that opportunity. Especially with Chelsea's season starting to crash too.
Yeah maybe. Just Fab and Ox have been crap lately so wanted to see the others given a chance.
4-0 win. Fucking chav cunts deserve a twatting.
On our way to a treble.

Might even have Ox over Salah on the right, but yeah
I don't get this love for Ox some are displaying, he has been as shite as everyone else recently. He gives the ball way a lot and what have his 'drives' produced ? I love his long range goals and we need more of them but we need more creativity and Ox isn't a creative player he's a battering ram. If Milner is ready, and Klopp says he is fit, then he replaces Ox. That won't up the creativity a great deal but will improve our possession and passing.
Gini ... Fabs ... Milner
We have to dig deep to look for more creativity. We know Keita has it but he's unfit, MM is an option for sure and this could be his time, he wasn't involved much vs Watford but was buzzing around between the lines (we need more of that) and Elliot is not a starter but has incredible vision for a 16 yo.
I'd have Jones ahead of Ox too. He has more in his locker and the only reason I don't see him Klopp regularly starting him ahead of Ox. is experience and not wanting to overload him at his young age.

A week ago you could have convinced me to give the kids another go, or at least a heavily rotated side. But now after the Atletico and Watford matches, I feel we need to recapture some momentum and the treble becomes more important.
Full strength for me.

Good team that, nearly did my head in that you started with the attackers.
Wasnt sure if I was experiencing some late acid flash backs and time moved backwards, or not.
That midfield will collapse like a bag of shite. Two 30+ men against a normally youthful Chelsea side, dont think so.
Not sure how a bag of shite would collapse. It would be pretty solid.
Not a squeak.
I think either the person who (apparently) got decent intel has had his source plugged - or has stopped making good guesses - because I've not had anything interesting for ages, and nowt about this evening either.
Yeah, I think Milner will start too.
Milner is supposed to be fit too.
I could see some/ most of that lot starting, but I wouldn't expect it to be any weirder.
Thing is, how the midfield is without Hendo I'd want Milner there, not as a LB. Would rather punt on Larouci or Lewis as LB, rest Robbo and see how we can get the midfield flowing again
