Looks like we have a few key players who are probably OK to play 45-60 minutes - Salah, Diaz, Thiago, Elliott - but it’s risky to start with 2 or more players you KNOW you will have to sub. And if someone doesn’t start, depending on how the game progresses, they might not get onto the pitch at all. Some difficult decisions for Klopp…

Yeah, it's noticeable how few fouls are given on Mo – but before we blame the refs it's worth considering that perhaps he is deliberately not looking to get fouled and that's part of the reason for him getting so few injuries (knock on wood). As a contrast to someone like Grealish or Nabil Fekir, players who are constantly provoking defenders to clatter them – Mo is more interested in scoring and progressing the attack than winning free-kicks. One strategy is not better than the other, it's just a matter of style and preference.
 
I'm feeling ridiculously excited about this game, Elliott, Thiago and Mo back in the squad, Diaz likely to play a part, I can't wait, even though we're obviously going to lose.
 
Imagine if we started with this line up tonight

Becker
Trent Joel Virgil Andy
Fabio
Harvey Thiago
Mohammed Diogo Luis

We played this midfield and team against Leeds (sub Luis for Sadio obv)

1st half we completely bossed them and their 1 v 1 system. Created a huge number of chances. Should have been 3-0 up at half time.
