Wee ben needs to be on the plane at the very least.

I still think Darwin could have a blinder. Mainly down to the face he's a lunatic
 
The team will be the same as today only Hendo for Baj/Harvey and maybe Milner too for the other. 100% can see him going for the most experienced midfield.
 
More energy, goals and assists than today.

And what about last week? Doesn't really matter me asking anyway Klopp's never going to put some kid from the start that's yet to start....in Madrid & Jota hasn't scored 1 goal this season so how do you come to that conclusion?

Fluked it.
 
Tbh, I would have rather we played Hendo for 45 minutes today, even a whole game, and he not played against Madrid.

a respectable result against Madrid was never as important as 3 points today.

We played the worst team in the league and lost. You'd like to think we could sacrifice a shit Hendo and still beat that. Did absolutely nothing when he came on in the half hour he did play btw so not sure what difference would an extra 15 mins have made?

Hendo is a vocal leader.
No one in our midfield could do that, and I've yet to be impressed by Virgil's ability to lead the team forward like Hendo, or Milner, can.
Robbo can ... but Hendo is the heart and soul of the team still, which is a problem.
With Spurs winning, and Newcastle having 2 games in hand, I just hope today's loss of 3 points (should have been of 2) won't be one we look back on ...
And now we have Man City, Arsenal & Chelsea after Madrid knock us out of Europe.

I think that's uncharitable to Hendo today. He was decent out there but our entire side was out of sorts. We had enough matchwinners on the pitch that him playing tidy should have been plenty.
 
A vocal leader is supposed to pick the team up at desperate times & encourage the team to keep going both on and off the pitch, a vocal leader comes out after games where we've played shit and accepts responsibility. We've not really seen much of that at all from him....he looks very relaxed and you can't just judge someone's leadership when we're winning titles.

We've won those titles, in part, with his leadership. He's not infallible - none of our players are - but he was decidedly not the issue today.
 
Is Elliot broken?

we lose this one. We’re away and they’re a better team. It’s simple. Plus, Carlo knows how to play us.
 
Weird game. If we score first we win comfortably.

We seem to run out of ideas if we don’t score against poorer sides in the first 30 mins. Palace was the same.
 
We wont win, and the pre, post match thread and pay him what he wants will be filled with the same posts and comments. Predictable and yawn.
