If those players are possibly available for the game against Spurs it might tempt Klopp into playing a stronger team than expected against Everton on Sunday
Nah, most of them aren't match fit. We're unlucky with the fixture list in January. I mean, Spurs A, Man H, Wolves A. I'm not liking the West Ham away game after that either.
Hopefully we beat Everton and get a "smaller" team at home in the 5th round so our injured players can get a proper game under their belt by the end of January.
I'd read that a little differently. I think that we are no longer on a central defensive precipice with Phillips as next man in. I would play Phillips and Gomez on Sunday, but be a little less concerned about playing Gomez with the availability of Matip/Lovren on the horizon. Sounds like Matip may be a little ahead based on Klopp's comments and may even be in contention for Sunday.
For central mid, we have Henderson and Wijnaldum who I'd like to protect on Sunday. Have Lallana and Milner play with Jones. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks we'll have at least one of Keita, Oxlade or Fabinho as a bench option. Minamino hopefully also in contention. Fabinho and Matip I see as key - even if only as bench options.
These next few weeks we can effectively close the door on City. Their glimmer of hope must be us dropping points in more than one game by the end of the month. If we can take 8+ points from the 4 games then I think we will be in a very strong position by February.

I don’t want the gap ever getting to 10 again, 1 game in hand or not.
Even the bit about Clynie is good .. he would be great to give TAA 20 mins break here or there and even a full match on occasions. Keep TAA fresh for the CL Final.

Clyne’s dead, baby. Clyne’s dead.
You only say that because we've hardly seen anything of Clyne for a year (except when he played well for a few matches before being injured again) ! Clyne is clearly a much better player than Hoever (at RB) when fit and that's what we need, quality backup in every position. With the PL, FAC and CL I can't see him leaving until the Summer and no doubt if fit (and drug free) then he'll be on the bench.
You mean like last season, when he had just played well for us against Utd, we were going for the PL and CL and he decided to go on loan to Bournemouth ...
Let's put it another way .. I can't see Klopp allowing him to leave on loan/sale until the end of the season.
Pretty sure Klopp booted him out the door
I have to agree 100% with you on this. When, Klopp came and inherited that defense, only Clyne was our most stable defender. He was brilliant in that game against united last season, Rashford did not get a look in, none of his tricks worked against Clyne. I wish he would stay, defence ways, he hardly ever made mistakes.
I dunno, seem like we don't disclose details about injuries anymore unless they're very serious.
We have a somewhat hectic schedule ahead of us (after the Spurs game) with just about 3 days between games.

Not really. Rest the seniors in the cup and it’s

Not too bad compared to December.
Yes and that's why I want the likes of Fabs, Matip, Shaq, Keita etc back as soon as possible. Even though the players who stayed fit during the holidays are available it doesn't mean that they're all still fresh. We will need to rotate anyway.
Where is Fabs ? He's the one I want to see back in the team ASAP (not that the current incumbents have not done really well).
Back in training last I heard.
