10 days time until this gets underway, hopefully by then we have few players back.

If not then I can see Klopp changing system due to concerns to turning to youth, Camacho, Hoever.

-----------------------Allison--------------------

-----------Matip----Van Dijk----Robertson---

Shaqiri--------Hendo----Keita-------Lallana

-------------Salah----Firmino-----Mane------

Maybe Moreno for Lallana if we want to go with more pace?

Wijnaldum for Keita if he's fit.
Trent for Lallana if he's fit and back to back 4.

Milner suspended and Fab/Lovren both hamstrung.

I don't think there's much chance at all that he switches to three at the back.

Imo he'd play Hoever alongside VVD first.

Switching the formation that dramatically means you may destabilise the entire side in the process, which is a greater risk than playing the youngster.

You also need to remember that we train extensively & rigidly on zones, who is going to be where & when. Its not impossible to switch it up, obv, but I think he'd want to have them training & drilling it constantly, so unless he knows for sure who will & won't be available in the next day or two for this match, then I can't see it.
 
Well, I for one don't think that will be our formation.

I think Gomez will be back to play RB.

You friggin donut.
 
We'll have to wait until Klopp's presser day before, we'll have a clearer picture of who's been back in training and for how long.

I'd imagine it'd be a game too soon for Joe, Lovren Milner Fab defo out.
 
I wish you’d specify which season you’re talking about here. My opinions on next season’s game won’t make any sense if this is a thread about this season.
 
For fun sake I hope this is like that time Pat picked the team against Birmingham and Ryan destroyed him for it, only for Rafa to actually pick that team.

For the sake of us winning I hope to never ever see a side that looks remotely like that. For fucks sake that's awful.

Physio has Gomez now back to 4th Feb. (was 30th Jan a few days ago) so maybe he won't be ready. They have Lovren, TAA, Gini all fit and back.

Can't find anything on Fabs so I'm not sure where all this .. he'll be out for a bit .. is coming from.

Klopp on TAA : "He is much better than he was but that's a muscle thing and needs time. I'm pretty sure he can be involved again against Leicester."

Absolutely horrendous and there isn't one chance in a million that'll be the team or formation.
 
Are the squad jetting off to Dubai for some warm weather training? I know it's happening soon

Yeah, and that team won 4-0.
 
I’ll never have to predict a team again after that ha ha.

As for our next game I’d be surprised if it wasn’t


Allison
TAA
Lovren
VVD
Robbo
Hendo
Fabinho
Gini
Mane
Salah
Firmino
 
I think a person with a brain would play Matip ahead of Lovren

He’s been largely good & reliable the past 18 months but we saw Joel get the nod as cover for Joe suggesting his place as 3rd choice. He’s passing a useful addition to the team.

Matip hasnt been a bad signing at all.
 
You kidding me? He's fine as third choice

No, when we got him he was supposed to be no2. He’s been injured a lot and has been far from convincing when playing for the most part. Pre VVD he was just as unreliable as Lovren except Lovren had the ability to put in a great performance once in a while.

VVD has made everyone look better but with his contract up soon I wouldn’t renew it.
His heading is poor, he’s weak and isn’t quick.

I expected a lot more.
 
Matip is made of spaghetti. Far too fragile for a CB. And how the fuck can't a big lad like him actually head the ball. Decent with the ball, but terrifying when he tries to defend.
