They've got 9 games to convert their -50 GD to -70 GD to break the record for the worst ever PL GD (at their current rate they are on for -65.5). The second worst is -61 and 3rd worst -57 both of which they are going to romp past.

He played a cracking ball to Macca for the goal though, but yeah I agree. Harvey looked bright again when he came on and deserves a game.
Everyone expected us to thump the last team in the bottom part of the league and it took a goal in the 99th minute. With Utd Sunday it could easily be a trickier game than many predict.
If only it could've been Coote again or Kavanagh, or maybe Hooper, or our best friend Tierney or 1 of the other many competent referees available.
Nvm, this is something for the next match day thread.

at this stage theres reasons to gripe over every ref
He's nowhere near the worst, to be honest, although that definitely isn't a compliment.
It does amuse me a bit though that referees, like commentators, always claim either to support noone or support lower league clubs. It's just so obviously not true.
Hopefully he will sh*t goals then.
Well after activating his stomach that late, I hope he doesn't feel the need to expel anything else during the game.
I hope he eats during the game.
Klopp:
Jones is in contention to make an appearance against Sheff U, but he won't start.
Trent and Jota might join team training next week.
Ali next week too.
So I'm guessing we'll have all of them back for the Palace game.
Edit: he also mentions that Bajcetic is in full training with the u21s and he'll join the first team next week.

You up near Upsala / Stockholm then?
When I worked at IKEA it was in Helsingborg and Malmo. Most of my colleagues flew in from Stockholm and always said the weather was better then where they'd come from .... Hence I've never gone that far North!!!!!
Endo has a little knock after the Brighton game and is a doubt. Hopefully he plays.
If there's a game where we don't need Endo, its this one.

Rest Endo, we need him against Utd.
If Endo has a knock then isn’t worth risking him from the start, need him fully ready for Utd. Plus it’s a game to keep him away from potentially picking up a needless yellow.
Be confident with Mac as the #6 here, Szobo and give Grav a start to get up to speed.

Of all the last 9 games this is the one I don't mind him missing. Especially with the injured players returning; Curtis and Gravenberch
Yeah if Endo is a risk, we can play a midfield with any 3 of these lads: Macca, Szobo, Elliot, Gravy, Clark. I think Macca as 'DM' would work for this if Sheff Utd sit deep, as Gomez will just 'invert' into that DM gap meaning Macca can do Macca things.
Given the likely low block, I think Elliot on the midfield 3 would be useful.
Endo in top form on Sunday is important.

The 7:30 game last night had a break about 15 mins in for players to break their fast, so expect he'll grab a drink and a gel or something in that gap then maybe get fuel on in the break.
I know we wouldn't - but it might even be a wise idea to bench Mo, have him fuelled properly at the right time and then sub him on at HT ready to go.
Endo is two yellows away from a 2 game ban but he only needs to avoid that in the next 3 games as it only counts up to the 32 game.
