Napoli (H) Last CL game of the group stage, Tue 1.11

[Fabio]

Trent and Gomez not to start that's all I ask. Ibou/Phillips and give Ramsay a go

 

[Frogfish]

It just amazes me that anyone would have Gomez anywhere near any position in this side.

He’s making monumental mistake(s) in pretty much every game that are game changers or potentially catastrophic (West Ham pen etc) - and some folk are still like, ‘well he played well after the mistake’…’he offers solidity down the right side at right back’ etc.

Can you imagine if Trent had nonchalantly gifted that early goal to Fulham? There would be burning effigies for bonfire night.

And how many has Trent been responsible for (whilst so far being abysmal in attack)? We're all hoping Ramsey turns out to be our next RB but at present, with 4 at the back, it's Gomez, Trent or Millie on the right. I know who I'd pick.

 

[Brizzle]

I'd like to see Ibu & VVD start as we need that partnership to take over with immediate effect, Trent should play as that again is a working relationship we need firing up.

----------Kelleher----------
Trent--Ibu--VVD--Tsimi-
----------Bajectic----------
------Milner----Jones----
Elliot----Firmino---Carvalho

Let's risk as few key players as possible. Salah, Nunez, Thiago, Fabs, Robbo, Hendo etc. all on the bench. Ox & maybe even Naby should get a run out here at some point too

I agree. Those massive mistakes completely unsettle the team. They’re low on confidence and gifts like the one on the weekend don’t help.

 

[Hansern]

This is how I imagine @Hansern looks like:

No idea what team Klopp will pick – on one hand you want your strongest to inject a bit of positive momentum after a bad loss, but on the other hand that might still not be enough against Napoli and then we'd be tired for Spurs. Personally I would go with the youngsters. Go full Rodgers vs Read Madrid lineup – at least they will run and try to impress.

That midfield and Trent at RB vs this Napoli attack? : 0-7

 

[Brizzle]

That midfield and Trent at RB vs this Napoli attack? : 0-7

The result doesn't matter - the playing time for key players matters. 90 mins (or even 60-70 mins) for Trent-Ibu-VVD is important for the final 2 leagues games of the season.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Not this ?

 

[SummerOnions]

I wouldn't start VVD in a game we expect to lose.

Would also start Kelleher

In the last 5-6 games? Not as many and nowhere near as catastrophic either.

 

[Irishanfield]

If only the A team you do to Napoli what the under 19s are doing to them

5-0 after 67 minutes
koumas 29,
Doak, 51,
Chambers 56,
Kone-Doherty 63, 66,

 

[mwake]

They won’t back him to that degree.

Then might as well sell the club and get out of football... Because to keep up with the best we need that type of investment... Everyone was laughing at how much arsenal spent last season and this season but look where they are now

Up to your first set of ellipsis is the dream… as long as they sell to mega wealthy owners with more money than sense.

 

[peekay]

Not this ?

That is an image of @Hansern visualizing what he wants to do to our midfield after watching them for 30 minutes.

 

[HC]

Odds on vvd or Salah is fucking broken during / after this Match.

 

[tombrown]

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Milner, Thiago, Jones, Salah, Firmino.
Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Gomez, Elliott, Ramsay, Robertson, Nunez, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Phillips.

 

[Bradley]

That's a slow moving midfield!

 

[tombrown]

That's a slow moving midfield!

Its a season farewell performance for Thiago and Firmino

 

[binomial]

That's 1 ugly looking diamond.

Disappointed Fabio/Ramsey aint starting.

On the bench though! So progression

 

[tomasjj]

firmino is getting lots of minutes, the old dog

 

[peekay]

firmino is getting lots of minutes, the old dog

Klopp is extracting every ounce of energy out of him before he is let go.

 

[binomial]

firmino is getting lots of minutes, the old dog

Who else do we have that can take his place? Elliott?

 

[Markeh]

Ox

 

[Markeh]

He’s not even in the squad is he?

 

[Raz]

Awful midfield. Playing with 10. Actually 9! If Napoli don’t rest some players, we are getting mauled.
Think I’ll watch Dahmer instead.

 

[tomasjj]

Ox

christ - ox cannot do any intelligent link play if his life depended on it

 

[mom]

442?

 

[tombrown]

433 with curtis on left

 

[moron]

I like this team, Curtis my man is in !!!yes, we will smack them 5 or 6 nil tonight.
