I actually like this team and wouldn't be against this logic of making sure the team gels.
Anyone expecting Klopp to flood his team with untried players is deluded... especially against Premier League opposition.
--------------Kelleher---------------
Gomez---Matip---Konate---Tsmikas
--------Ox---Fabinho--Jones------
-----Salah----Nunez----Gakpo---------
He may even just go for Alisson as Kelleher is off in the summer.

We have a weeks rest until the Brighton game and need to get some momentum going again after the Brentford shitshow.
Klopp will set up close to our best team and include Gakpo. Thiago can get some rest. He has played a lot over Christmas.
Alisson
Trent Matip Konate Robbo
Hendo Fabinho Keita
Salah Nunez Gakpo

Klopp just strongly implied that there will be no "rotation" for this game – full strength team is expected. Hendo is cleared to train normally starting today.
I would do this:
(4-3-3)
--------------Kelleher----------------
---------Matip-----Konate----------
Trent-------Fabinho--------Robbo
---Henderson------Carvalho-----
Salah--------Darwin-------Gakpo
I know Carvalho hasn't played in a while; it would make sense to give him another go. Hope Doak, Bajcetic and Ramsey can all get some minutes from the bench.

I've yet to do the long distance flight in not business, a friend elected to do Economy Plus sort of thing once and their story reinforced my idea that Business is the only answer. The idea of flying 12+ hours and getting off the plane, clearing customs (not like going to Ibiza) and doing a 9 hour day is not compatible with non-business travel.
Man U/Everton were full strength - seems the FA Cup has it's mojo back
I, on the other hand have never travelled business - but they the only thing I generally have to attend to when I get off the plan is either to find a bed or a pub.
I just can’t justify the cost if I’m paying for it myself - even premium economy. A return flight to the UK from Australia in cattle class costs roughly AU$2-3k, with Premium economy AU$4-7k and Business AU$7-15k - with the cheaper ones generally meaning shittier airline or long stopovers.
The cheaper hack, which I’ve done if there’s 2 of you traveling is to buy a 3rd seat - which is cheaper if it’s not for a person because you can remove the departure/landing taxes - you just got to book early and ensure you secure a 3-seat side row.
Mind you, last time I flew out of Dublin, I got a centre row of 4 all to myself and was able to lie down and sleep the whole way…. Which was handy because I’d been out on the piss with @the count the day before….
Ah nowadays we only ever fly business on long haul flights - it's horrendous otherwise.
However I remember the days when I worked in Nigeria and the official exchange rate to the USD was fixed at 1:1 whereas on the black market we could buy/sell USD at 6:1. The airlines were forced to sell in Naira at the official rate ! Everyone in the company upgraded to 1st for all of our flights around the world during our rest months (we had one month off in every four), fantastic while it lasted (5 years).

You need to buy points. Alaska are good, we mostly use AA although we;ve never flown on an AA flight. For example the points cost is calculated by sector, I forget offhand but there are maybe 5 sectors for Shanghai (or Australia) to London. However flying from Shanghai (or HK, KL, BKK etc.) to Australia/NZ is the SAME sector being on roughly the same longitude). Points tickets are therefore a ridiculously good bargain flying North to South - North compared to East - West - East. You can then pick up much cheaper tickets onward to Europe from say BKK, Jakarta or KL.
I also fly maybe once every couple of years internationally and not really much more than that domestically.
Not a problem. Most companies will give you 2 years validity on their points but buying more points (e.g. US$20 in one of their regular sales) will extend the validity of ALL points you own for another 2 years. Buy them when the sales are on (just sign up to a a few of the better points systems) - Alaska have some great sales (25- 33% off or added in value) and AA too. Store and keep for that rainy day.
AA actually extended my points to 4 years validity because of the global pandemic.
Check out the return prices from other Asian hubs. Flight cancellations are usually easy enough to handle too (in the event you've booked flights via multiple sources and one let's you down). Note that most Middle Eastern airlines run their own points systems that I avoid because you can't use them with other airlines (unless that's changed because of Covid). For example AA points can be used with any airline in the One World alliance.
I’ll have a look into it - I’m sure I have sone Qantas points kicking around somewhere.
Alisson will play in goal in the FA Cup even though his deputy Caoimhin Kelleher needs games. Liverpool are going to pick as strong a team as possible for the FA Cup. #LFC [dominic king - mail]
Well that tells us that Kelleher is off for sure. And explains why this week we were linked with yet another German keeper (FFS not again) !

Or Kelleher believes he can be first choice somewhere and wants to go.
Adrian’s contract is also up at the end of the season - who was the German keeper?
Can't remember - didn't see it clearly through the tears.
Is it Ziegler on a free, the 34 yo keeper that qualifies as home grown in England because he can through ManU’s youth system?
Id say he’s more of a 3rd keeper - but that doesn’t preclude selling Kelleher and promoting Harvey Davies to play In the Poor Man’s Red Bull Cup.
Neville on Sky Sports: “When you seen him cut across Faes, I thought that was devastating. It’s a fine line. He’s a handful, he doesn’t score the goals but if he does score the goals, he’ll be world class. I’ve got a feeling he could end up being that world class striker.
“Physically, I think he [Nunez] will mature. If you look at Haaland’s body, he’ll always be bigger and stronger but Nunez will get bigger and stronger the more mature, the more older he plays in this league.
“I think it will just start to happen, he’ll start scoring and scoring, particularly if Liverpool keep adding and adding good players. I’m 70 per cent [sure] he will go on to be a top striker in this league and become one of the very best in the world.”

Ah yes I think that may be him.
Might be an option to loan him, like has been done with Henderson at Man U?
