This highlights our issue. If not Mane then who wide left ? Is Origi really the answer ? I see him as a backup for Firmino even though I know he's been used wide before. We really are missing a backup for Mane/Salah.
I think we'll see:
------------Alisson-------------
TAA---Matip--VVD---Robbo
-------------Fabs----------------
-------Hendo----Gini----------
Salah------Origi-------Ox----
Really get the feeling that Ox will start, and that it won't be in midfield. Also get the impression Salah is considered starting fit but Bobby not yet. Likely priority subs Bobby, Keita, Shaq, Gomez.
My preference would be for Fabs, Gini & Ox to be the midfield trio with Wilson on the flank.

The midfield where creativity went to die.
100% agree, I don't think we have any wing forward options from the bench. I presume Klopp thinks he could use Origi/Ox/Shaq out there. And Origi and Brewster in the number 9. It shows how bad it is for options, he used bloody Wijnaldum out there preseason as we have nothing.
Tbf Wijnaldum isn't exactly a stranger to that position.
Isn't that the Gini, Hendo, Milner midfield? Fabinho gives the others a bit more latitude to support the attack.
Yep that combo isn't great either. Wijnaldum or Keita must be in the mix imo.
Wijnaldum isn’t a bad option to play in the front 3 - he’s played over 40 games at either right or left wing in his career. Klopp just needs to make him as angry as he was before the Barcelona game 🙂
Overall, I suspect this game is a bit too early for Firmino to start - Klopp said he was “done” after 30 minutes against Lyon, it will surely take more than 5 days to stretch it to 60+. So Salah will be the only one from the regular front 3 to start, Origi will surely be the other, and then it will be between Brewster, Ox, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri and Wilson for the remaining spot. Gini would be a solid choice – he was great against Sporting at LW, but I would be much more excited if Klopp rewarded Brewster for all his pre-season hard work with a start. This could be a huge boost to his confidence and development him and it's better take a risk in this game than when the Premier League season starts.

I'm off to Wemberley in the morning with a party of 5 family members including myself.
We are going in a football special train that goes from Liverpool South Parkway direct to Wembley Central (which is supposed to be closed, but not to us).
Should be an enjoyable trip - no pressure as the result doesn't matter all that much.

Thats awesome, have a great day mate.
We’ll win 5-0
Easy win for City but doesn’t matter at all.
If that were the case then yes it does matter. Confidence is a brittle thing and we've gained next to none (Lyon perhaps) from pre-season. A bad defeat and doubts will be sewn.
Wrong site mate - blue moon is where these kind of posts are welcome by Liverpool fans.
