Pre Match - Leicester (H) - Worthington Cup - Wed 19:45

[Brizzle]

Leicester are flying so this has Banana skin potential. I’d rather see a strong team here than our home EL game next midweek.

Full strength back 4 for me with rotation elsewhere.

Kelleher

Gomez
Konate
Virgil
Robbo

Endo
Gravenberch
Jones

Salah
Gakpo
Diaz

Prioritise youth if we’re on top.

 

[Markeh]

I’d really want to see badger in there somewhere

Ohhh this'll not please Modo. He was promised the cups to keep him sharp in case he needed to step in the the league. I see tantrums

Doak for Salah surely and you can't leave out Bacjectic

 

[binomial]

I shall be in attendance for this one and I'm very much looking forward to it, been a long time coming.

Expect Klopp to ring 11 changes. Kelleher Baj Ibou Quansah Kostas Endo Grav Elliott Doak Gakpo Jota

Endo, Grav, Badger in midfield.
Gakpo, and two others up front except Salah and Nunez

I see this as an opportunity to gradully weaponize our Gravy

 

[mom]

Spurs on the weekend. I’d rest the top players

Yep, Q will definitely play with Konate

Modo has Europe & The FA cup. Anything goes in The Coca Cola Cup!

We have 23 top players, which ones you wanna rest?

The top, top ones.

Alright alright, you got me

 

[rubans]

No way are Mo and Virgil starting this. Rest fine with it, Trent possibly for some fitness…

 

[StevieM]

Irish Kevin,
Badger, Konate or Gomez, Quansah, Greek Scouser
Harvey, Endo, Gravy
Doak, Gakpo, Jota.

Choice of captain out of that lot would be interesting - Gomez if he started.

I’d like to see Bobby Clarke get a good chunk of time as well, on for Gravy - load the bench up with a few kids and a couple more seniors - maybe Diaz, Nunez

 

[Frogfish]

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

-- Badger -------- Konate ---------- Quansah ----- Tsimikas

------- Elliot ------------------ Endo --------------- Gravenberch

Doak ------------------------ Gakpo ----------------- Jota

Win 3-1 (Jota, Mo & Gakpo)

No way should Virgil or Mo be starting this. We've got to do a better job of managing their mins on the pitch.

We should ideally be building a core 2nd team that will play EL and cup games. The likes of Kelleher, Quansah, Doak, Elliott, Endo, Tsimikas, Bajectic should start these games and mix in the likes of Gakpo, Jota, Thiago, Gravenberch as required to keep the squad ticking over and build match fitness.

 

[Fabio]

i think doak needs to start, as he needs a klopp touchline bollocking to help develop him

I think the bench has to be the first team, just in case, for Leicester. Second string with kids on the bench for the home EL games

 

[dee]

.... oh and Tsimikas best remember how to play footie

 

[Modo]

i think doak needs to start, as he needs a klopp touchline bollocking to help develop him

What he needs to do is work on his awareness, decision making and weaker foot.
Many of his runs look pleasing to the eye, but they don't lead to anything. Leicester are better than LASK and imo he didn't look that great against them.

 

[Modo]

My line up:

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

Trent-----------Konate----------Quansah--------Tsimikas

-----------------------------Endo
--------------Bajcetic---------------Gravenberch

Elliott------------------Gakpo----------------------Jota


Trent will hopefully be ready to play because he needs some minutes (subbed after 60 for Gomez). Doak on the bench, with Clark and some other senior players.

Swear to god if anyone mentions a 17 year old needs to improve one more fucking time, I’m going to rip someone’s head off…actually I’m going to rip a few people’s heads off.

Exactly. He needs to play against a more difficult opponent so he is found out, and works harder. Playing him against weak sides and youth teams wont develop him. Against LASK he had a decent highlight reel, but it was all worthless

Well that & the fact it's been said about 50 times already this season.

 

[Modo]

That's gonna hurt his confidence even more

I like that line-up but I think Gakpo should go on the left, I prefer Jota as the central focal point, he did well in that position when Mo was away the season before last I think. Remember those goals against Arsenal ? - was very good. I have this horrible feeling though that Klopp will play Bajcetic at RB again and Elliot in midfield, and Doak in Elliot's position in your lineup. So kind of like against LASK but having Gakpo and Jota starting.

 

[Fabio]

If it does then he doesn't have the right mentality

 

[keniget]

If it does then he doesn't have the right mentality

Yeah, and that's something he's really going to have to improve. Along with his decision making and awareness.

Just really focus on improvement. That's the ticket for him.

 

[keniget]

Elliot can take a couple of mandated hours in the gym instead of match time.
