Pre Match - Newcastle (a) - PL - Sat 12:30

[Shay_K]

The 12.30 timing is the worst possible one for players fasting. Reckon Salah, Mane and Keita need to be managed carefully for this one.

You dont have to fast if you are travelling. Surley the trip up to toon counts, even the day before.

 

[Shay_K]

Getting out of bed? Clashes with Saturday Morning Kitchen?

You can always record that surely and watch it afterwards.

Any fool will know Saturday kitchen is well over by then.

I'm not bothered about the opponents, I'm bothered about the 12.30ness of the whole thing.

Yeh me too, pissed off I have to get my hair done at 12 and will defo miss the first half FFS !
Its fucked up !

 

[doctor_mac]

I'm giving a public lecture at 1 so the whole thing is fucked. I'm going to write a very angrily worded letter to the Premier league.

Fake Saturday kitchen fan. The worst. Probably flicks between SK and that blag version on ITV with a half and half scarf on.

 

[Red rose]

Absolute fuck up of a time !

 

[Jack D Rips]

Totally agree. Was at a corporate ( by invitation) outing in Anfield a few weeks ago for Watford game. Should have had a lovely lunch but ko changed to 12.30 so had to settle for cumberland fucking sausages! What the fuck are they? In fairness the free drink was all good.

 

[Woland]

But on the flip side we've got Spurs next week at half seven. I'm opening a pub that day and we're in the final of the Lancashire brewery challenge. It doesn't matter where I am, but at 5pm I can say, sorry, I need to get to the match. Everyone ok?

*Doesn't wait for a reply*

Pull the fire alarm at 12.15 then go watch the game in your local boozer

I think it is time to trust the large medical team who have access to vast in match and in training fitness data and extensive expertise in the field to make the decisions on the capacity to play for the individual players.
Who may well recommend that Salah can't play more than thirty minutes on Saturday.
He is though the fittest and least rotated of our forwards and so far it doesn't seem to have unduly effected him

Also don't forget our asthma inhalers, a few puffs at h/t will have our lads running an extra 10km

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I reckon Gomez and the Greek will play.

Thiago will be rested for shure.

 

[tomasjj]

I reckon Gomez and the Greek will play.

Thiago will be rested for shure.

Yes, there will be a couple of changes for this one.
Naby will play, and I think one of the full backs will rest.
Not sure who, could be Robbo.

 

[dee]

If I read this right then the early start May play to us as the squad are adjusted to early training due to the switch for Ramadan

 

[dee]

I reckon Gomez and the Greek will play.

Thiago will be rested for shure.

Tsimikas is an injury doubt

 

[Fabio]

Tsimikas is an injury doubt

Long as he hasn't broken his funny bone, we'll be grand

 

[StevieM]

I wouldn’t be rotating too many for this game - I’d prefer to see likes of Konate, the Greek, Gomez, Milner and Jones get more playing time against Villarreal.

Even then, I’m inclined to bring some of them on early rather than take a risk.

 

[Red rose]

Dua Lipa is ace !

 

[Fabio]

I DO NOT LIKE THAT TEAM

 

[MomoWASright]

Did nobody guess the team?

 

[The Nomad]

Team to face Newcastle: Alisson, Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Henderson, Milner, Jota, Mane, Diaz.

Subs: Kelleher, Fabinho, Konate, Thiago, Salah, Jones, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott.

 

[The Nomad]

Banana skin team this.

 

[Fabio]

 

[Fabio]

Have we started the league cup defence early? Because that teams reeks of early doors domestic cup

At least the midfield does

 

[Fabio]

Guimares is going to rip us apart with that midfield

 

[MomoWASright]

We’re gonna twat them

 

[Glen C]

That midfield is AWFUL.

 

[Stevesquash]

I know its not our strongest, but come on have some faith!

Look at the defence and the front line.

In Klopp we trust...

 

[Markeh]

The rotation had to come at some stage

 

[DHSC]

This match shows we def need at least 2 midfield reinforcements next season.
