Pre match - Preston Away (League cup)

[Modo]

Wednesday 27th October
Kick off: 19:45 BST

I think Klopp is going to be making a lot of changes to the team for this game.
I expect a team of squad players and youths.

Kelleher

Williams
Gomez
Philips
Tsimikas

Morton
Jones
Ox

Minamino
Origi
Gordon - if he's fit

Something like that.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I hope so. We need to not just protect our CM’s but anyone who can play there in an emergency which is fast approaching.

I like that team - have my doubts that Klopp will change so much, but maybe.

Gomez to captain?

 

[MomoWASright]

No. No. No. no. This isn’t how it’s done.

 

[Modo]

No. No. No. no. This isn’t how it’s done.

Brizzle is asleep so I pounced.

 

[FreshRed]

No. No. No. no. This isn’t how it’s done.

I was worried until I remembered that this is the League Cup. Thought it was okay as long as it was not dreamy.

But, we could start over, if you think it will help.

The count is the second rate competition pre match thread starter

 

[binomial]

Who gives a fuck man we just trounced Utd 5-0 at old twatford, Barney the Dinosaur could’ve created this pre match for all I care.

 

[binomial]

Expect 11 changes.

Kelleher Williams Gomez Phillips Tsimikas Morton Ox Jones Minamino Origi Gordon

But Klopp went pretty strong at Norwich didn’t he? Wouldn’t surprise me if Mane started.

 

[Woland]

I don't think we play Jones or Ox. Might need them for Brighton and Madrid. I don't know who's looking good in the under 19s but I'd pick them. Fuck this stupid cup

I thought you were dead.

 

[Modo]

Midfielders in the reserves who are in contention:
Morton
Clayton
Norris

Attackers:
Gordon, if he's back from injury
Balagizi
Musialowski

 

[Alan Hardaker]

These are great games for player development. It gives these players a chance to stake a claim, improves their value as well. Going further is important as stronger opposition awaits. Giving younger players even more experience.

I like Preston. Pity money hasn't gone there.Been said they are a sleeping giant. Looking forward to it. Always good to see the potential we have.

Rip binomial and thiago

I assume Kelleher is over the shits. I'm not sure if Gomez is fit, I'm sure Klopp said something about him getting there but not being ready yet? So Gomez but if not then Konate can play again, he's young and fit. Morton should be a shoe-in.

Team below should be good enough against a PNE team down in the lower reaches of the Championship.


-------------------------------- Kelleher

Williams ------- Phillips -------------- Gomez ----------- Tsimikas

------------------------------- Morton

---------------------- Ox --------------- Jones

-- Gordon --------------- Origi ------------------ Minamino

 

[RedStar]

If Thiago is back in full training and needs mins I'd give him and Jones 45 each

 

[Hansern]

Konate should keep his place for Brighton after the game against Utd, imho.

Kelleher

Neco Phillips Gomez Tsimikas

Ox Morton Dixon-Bonner

Gordon Origi Minamino

Oh was Gomez injured again?

Ox Morton Dixon-Bonner

Gordon Origi Minamino

As well as Konate did, I'd be very surprised if Matip didn't come back in for Brighton.

Wouldn't mind seeing Konate, Gomez and Phillips all start this one and then you could have Neco Williams and The Greek as wing backs. Ox will surely start and if Fabinho trains these next few days I wouldn't be shocked to see him play a part. Possibly even Mane too.

 

[MomoWASright]

Wasn’t he on the bench?

 

[Gary25]

Who?

 

[Frogfish]

If Thiago is back in full training and needs mins I'd give him and Jones 45 each

Klopp said Thiago is not in full training.

 

[Frogfish]

Oh was Gomez injured again?

Didn't Klopp say not fully fit? I may be wrong.

 

[SummerOnions]

Modo whipping his second-rate game match thread dick on the table. Risky business.

Let's hope The Nomad recovers in time to make a late push for match entry

Would hope to see something like this:

Kelleher
Neco Nat Gomez Tsimikas
Morton
Ox Minamino
Gordon Origi Polish Messi

If truth be told we could have sent these out at Old Toilet and saved the whole first eleven for the game against Brighton. .....might have only won 0-2 though.

 

[Brizzle]

This thread is safe. Whilst @The Nomad was the official back up keeper for the League Cup previously (think of him as the Kelleher to my Alisson, in pre-match status only of course), @Modo is our Adrian.

As we all know @Dreambeliever is our Karius.

 

[Brizzle]

Anyway, onto this game. Absolute full rotation. Protect all CMs and play two from the U23s.

--------------Kelleher----------------
Neco--Gomez--Konate--Tsimikas
--------Morton---Clayton-------------- never seen Clayton play but he partners Morton in CM for U23s
-----------------Ox-----------------------
Gordon-----Minamino----Origi----


We are down to bare bones in midfield waiting to see outcomes of Milner & Keita. Jones should absolutely not be risked in this one.

Adrian? WTF, man?!

I started the "Manchester's quest for European glory" thread. We all know how that ended (wink)

 

[the count]

I'd play Phillips and Gomez at centre half with Matip as holding midfielder.
He will need the practice there for when Fabinho, Hendo, Milner and all our other midfielders are simultaneously injured.
