I'm guessing Firmino will be rested, especially after the events at Anfield.

That would be just about acceptable
 
The front 3 should be rested. Give Ings a game

Would settle for a point to be honest. It might be their cup final but we have bigger fish to fry. We surely cannot fuck up a top four spot now, and as there is no qualifying round for English teams now second or fourth makes no odds really. I'd expect Ings to start.

Playing Ings is a good move, firstly because the others could do with a rest before the mancs and secondly because he is a good player and he has not had time enough on the pitch and he will score the winner in Kiev... it is written in the stars...

ps he will also score against the blue n white shite because they are fully garbage.
 
Time for Pesam or GKmacca to give us a run down on our youth prospects I guess?

Any likelihood of any kids stepping in? Curtis Jones?


As I said in another thread, I think Herbie Kane looks the most likely here and now. We've got a few promising midfielders but they all look as though they need to grow up a bit physically before progressing to the next level. Except Kane. He looks older than he is (19 I think), he's not easily intimidated, he's very competitive and he's got a decent long-range shot on him, too. I wouldn't dream of playing him in a derby at this stage unless we were desperate, but, as it appears we are, he's the one I'd expect to be in the squad.
 
There's not much on him online, but here's a bit of info:

From 2016:

Scout Report: Herbie Kane

After the impact that Harry Kane has had for Tottenham over the last two years, it is time for another Kane to do the same for Liverpool. The Merseyside club recently announced that Herbie Kane, no relation to Harry, has signed his first professional contract with the club.

Liverpool had signed the 17-year-old from Bristol City when he was only 14-years-old but his performances were incredible and he was promoted to the U18 side for the team. Herbie signed for Liverpool and was put into their youth academy where he has excelled over the years and now is all set to make an impact in the first team.


The next Gerrard?

Liverpool have seen many players come and go with the expectations of being the next ‘Steven Gerrard’ but most of them haven’t been anywhere close to the legend that was Gerrard. Herbie though seems to be the next player who is given the unwanted tag of becoming Gerrard’s successor or at least a player who performs in a similar manner.

Herbie plays in the central midfield role and can play in an advanced role or in a defensive role; he is comfortable in either position. Herbie is known for his long-range efforts which is just one reason why he has been named as another player who could take up the Gerrard mantle.

Kane was sought after by many Premier League clubs but it was Liverpool who ensured that he was part of Melwood and now he could be looking to break into the first team. There are many players already in the first team and Kane would probably work with the U21s if there is a need to push him and test his ability at a higher level.

He is an England U18 international and with the manager, Jurgen Klopp looking at youngsters who could get a chance to prove themselves as seen in the Exeter FA Cup clash, Kane would be hopeful that he can get a run out sometime soon for his club.

From 2017, Michael Beale:

Stevie picked out Trent Alexander-Arnold and Herbie Kane as ones to watch in his autobiography. Who do you think could eventually become a regular first team player?

Well, Trent has already made his debut and continues to impress. Herbie has had a tough year with injury but – he is a player that I really like and a boy that has a great character and never say die attitude on the pitch. It’s a big year for him next year to step forward and show his talent.


From 2018:

Our scout is a top football expert who attends matches each week searching for the next star. He'll bring you his verdict in Sportsmail.

This week the Secret Scout checks in on Liverpool's young midfielder Herbie Kane.
Read his report below...

WHAT'S HE GOT?

This young Liverpool academy player shows a maturity beyond his years. Anchoring his side he was a dominating presence in a recent game, protecting his three central defenders.

Standing at around 5ft 9in with broad shoulders and a tough frame, he policed the central areas, intercepting and starting attacks. One early cross-field ball set the tone — it travelled 60 yards and the accuracy was perfect.

Soon after he was in the thick of it, showing a competitive spirit, determined to win tackles and intercept passes. He looks as though he knows his role and as the game wore on his influence grew.


The performance of his two fellow midfielders — good in possession but poor in transition — meant that his workload involved constantly plugging gaps when the opposition broke against his team.

Kane challenged well in the air and showed ability in tight situations. I also liked the way that when he received from the central defenders he would return the ball, making a good angle and space for a second pass.

It did not surprise me that he had the captain's armband and he showed responsibility and leadership that highlighted the lack of drive of some of his team-mates.

WHAT DOES HE NEED?


A lack of pace is often apparent in holding players but positioning is possibly more important and this does not seem to be a problem.

Kane's first move is in his head and that means he positions himself well. This recent performance highlighted a disappointing display from his team and this application — allied with his ability — may see him move up Jurgen Klopp's pecking order.

His tutors at Anfield will include Steven Gerrard and I shall watch his progress with interest.
 
I love the fact he's been hyped Hy Stevie

Hate the fact he's called Herbie

What?! Herbie is a BOSS name.

I mean, I wouldn’t call my kid Herbie (is it short for Herbert? I bet he was christened Herbie), but if you can’t like the name Herbie then I just give up

Herbie goes bananas! And if we get drawn against Monaco in Europe? Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo!

FFS, there is no joy in your life. None.

Herbie Rocksit!

That one needs work

Herbie is either a car, or someone at Oxbridge playing soggy biscuit in the smoking lounge
 
And Wendy calls me a miserable scowling cunt

That scowl is probably a result your eyes having been exposed to The Lying Rag too long, and refusing to wear sunglasses because they'd make you look like a cunt. Well now the skin cancer induced scowl makes you look like a cunt instead for your troubles. It's just one of the many instances in this world where for all intents and purposes it is impossible to avoid being some sort of cunt. Fabio has got this one spot on.
 
Grujic I don't think we can bring back. Pearce said as much apparently

I'd imagine it's a bit of give and take on these clauses. You demand a player appears in a certain number of games, then you can't really reserve the right to recall him at the drop of a hat.

I like sunglasses! They’re very useful when it’s sunny. And hides the permanent scowl a bit

Yeah I don't mind it. Just typical of our luck
 
Think we need to look at a few loan recalls..

Either Gruijic or Ovie Ejaria

They're young players who are on loan to develop. I think we'd be more likely to uproot Markovic from his loan spell if it comes to that. Then you'll be sorry.
