Will he believe again?

I’d rest Salah for this and Lovren.


Becker
TAA
Gomez
VVD
Robertson
Fabhino
Milner
Keita
Mane
Origi
Firmino
 
I'd be inclined to start Gomez and if he does well play him next weekend. Keita is done here so I'd start Oxlade-Chamberlain.

I'm not quite there with Keita yet. Start him in this. A home game we should win comfortably. If he can't have a decent showing here, or if he goes off crying again, then yeah, he's a step closer to the door.

He is definitely in the last chance saloon. I still wouldn't read too much in to a Genk performance.

No I know, and I wouldn't, but I'm for throwing him in in the hope that it might spark a surge in confidence and result in better performances in the future.

Klopp's played Lovren in five of the last seven occasions we've played city (if my memory of the stat I heard last week is correct). Lovren will play at the weekend.

Keita isn't done here. It's not looking great, that's for damn sure, but no way I see klopp giving up on him yet, & I expect him to start this match.

Despite popular belief me neither. I’m praying he somehow turns the corner as we need him.

same, but it’s more difficult to envisage with every passing day. He’s picking up injuries and looking easily bullied on the pitch, the second is probably a consequence of the first but he needs to show something very soon.

I hope not. The pressure during the build up to this will be ridiculous and he’ll have at least two brain farts.

I really wanted Keita to be a star in our midfield but every time he plays the more I think he’ll be gone next season.
 
Last chance saloon ? Haha

The same was said about Lallana before. Origi too. Hendo. Lovren. Where are they now ?

Goes to show us keyboard warriors and armchair critics really don't have much clue about what goes on in the club. Really.

Last chance in terms of being a regular first team player who holds down a starting place. Lallana, Origi and Lovren aren’t in that discussion

I’d pretty much go with that.

The only issue I have is Salah - depends on the ankle - his confidence is low - so, if the ankle’s ok, I’d be tempted to start him and see if he can sharpen up.

Of course the counter argument to that is that by resting his ankle (and mind and the rest of his body) that will in itself sharpen him up if it puts him closer to 100%. We have a horrendous schedule ahead, when we get the opportunity to rest players we need to take it.

I could even think about resting VvD too, he hasn't been at his world-beating best for the past few games. Gomez and Lovren start and we can see who deserves to play vs City.

I think having him rested for City has the potential for a bigger pay off. Worst case he occupies two defenders to free up Firmino and Mane

I’d take VVD off if we are leading at HT

That absolutely might be the case - and I wouldn’t be overly fussed either way.

And it’s s fair counter argument.

There’s a lot of the team looking jaded.

VVD has definitely not been at his imperious best.

We absolutely need one of the fringe players to start firing with a bit of form.

I’d urge a little caution about resting too many people - a win is still very important.
 
Ox will defo start this, and Fabs. Would be prudent to rest Mo for City so maybe:

Alisson
TAA - Lovren - VVD - Robbo
Fabs
Milner/Gini/Hendo - Ox
Mane - Bobby - Origi
