Milner looked knackered last time out. We can't keep playing him 2-3 times a week. If we bring in Phillips and have Fabs back at DM I see no reason not to play Neco. He's not a total liability. And it's Brighton we're playing.

Williams hasn't impressed whatsover. Maybe he will improve, but looks a fish out of water. Not impressive going forward or defending. A carling cup player at best right now. Give him development time there.
Milner has to play against Brighton. He was superb against Leicester.
Play Matip and Williams at CB, Fab DM, Gini and Jones/Hendo in CM.

Big gamble that, for someone who (right now) looks significantly below standard, and in a critical position to make the entire system work.... unless Klopp tweaks the system to include Jota and the usual front 3 (which I don’t love)
Sharif is still building back from a knee injury, and to be honest I don't think the coaches know where he is best suited to playing. They like him, but the fact they're still using him all over the place suggests they're still searching for the right role for him.
There's a lad called Jarell Quansah - he also plays CB. He's promising, but probably a couple of years away from having a chance to be with the first team squad. And I suspect he'll end up in the centre. Very precocious leader of the defence. There's also a norn iron lad, Conor Bradley - signed a three year contract this summer, a massive red living the dream. He's being converted gradually from a winger to an RB. He's also a really good prospect.
But no, in the short term, it's Williams. I think the flak he's getting is amazingly harsh. Don't forget he's not just filling in at RB alongside a makeshift CB pairing, he's also been playing without the usual defensive midfield in front of him. He's a young guy trying to play with far less support than Trent got when he came into the team. He needs time and experience, and while that might lead to some mixed perfomances now, he HAS got ability and potential for improvement.
Couldn't say it better. As I said a young lad learning the trade. Nice passer, can put in a great cross and has pace. He played against Atalanta with virtually no support. At his age and experience level it should be expected he'll make more mistakes but I actually find the signs good, though whether good enough to be TAA's permanent back up remains to be seen.
Isn’t there a leaked team for this game?
Id say the fact Wolves were willing to take him as part of the Jota deal suggests Hoever was rated higher than Williams not the other way around.
Yeah it's been noticeable that he has more often looked for a team mate in a better position rather than taking a higher tariff shot.
His and mane's passing in these situations though is way below the rest of their play. If they can sort that out well be flying. Not that we're doing too bad at present 😛

I hope Matip's absence is due to the Ajax game because it also gives some credence to some "in-the-know" lad on twitter last night who claimed Matip has a new injury and will be out for 6 weeks AND Alacantara won't be back for months! I hope it's the usual Twitter bollox.
Hahaha fucking hell. Getting beat here.
Not even surprised in the slightest.

Well I got 9 right and I think Philips is the right call replacing one of Matip or Fabs. Minamino an interesting call over Jones. I'm guessing this means Hendo starts vs. Ajax in place of Millie.
He's getting his full monies worth out of Milner. Rinsing every last penny. The poor bastard must be wondering why he's getting flogged to death game after game, covering everyone else's positions who are a decade or more younger than him, whilst they put their feet up on the bench or the treatment room.
There is one saving grace with how poor that team is. Brighton are shite.
Annoyingly they're not awful defensively though
They’re extremely wasteful and taking Lamptey out makes them moor toothless. Hopefully Salah is bang on form.
I’m holding you responsible if it isn’t! Putting me on a downer so early.
I’m only kidding. We’re gonna twat them.
Apparently it is
Really? I haven’t been following the match threads so maybe I’ve missed the concerted abuse towards him.
I think the issue is that he came in and looked so promising (albeit loads of people got way too carried away and suggested he was too good to be a backup and could free TAA up to move to midfield) but since then has offered very little (if anything) going forwards - which is an absolute must in our system - and has looked poor positionally in defence.
“He’s young” is absolutely valid, but it can’t be the only thing in his favour, and there is a touch of pressure on the lad given some of the talent we’ve moved on, and the workload our fullbacks have to get through
Wouldnt surprise me to be honest. And we are playing Wednesday - early Saturday.
Then Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday.
Its fucking insane and, well, he has to use the squad.
Needless to say, we're not winning this. A draw would be Utopia and hopefully keep us in touch with the leading pack.
We're fucked over this Christmas period though.

Matip is made out of fucking soggy Quavers.
