I think your maths is off there mate! Bar Jones they are near enough double mins!
Nunez 1 per 264 mins
Jones 1 per 310 mins
Gakpo 1 per 429 mins
Szobo 1 per 466 mins
Jota 1 pet 475 mins
Diaz 1 per 542 mins
Elliott 1 per 567 mins
Of course we need to look at other factors too but I was pointing out assists. Though if we are talking about defensive actions I think Nunez would beat the pants off Jota there too.
Our anticipated greater possession is however why I suggested I'd start Diaz or Jota at CF for this game.
We start the team that has brought us success so far this season, and this isn't the time to experiment.
Kelleher (ideally Alisson, but we usually go with the back up in the Carabao cup)
Quansah Konate Virgil Robbo
Macca Gravy
Salah Szobo Diaz
Jota
Darwin, Elliott and Gakpo to come off the bench.

I remember getting ridiculed for saying he's essential to the way we play, but he is. Him and Macca.

He is essential to the way we play, but equally he's nowhere near the level a 70m attacking mid should be when it comes to goals and assists. It's been said numerous times (arguably in jest), but he is the Hungarian Hendo, just less vocal.
Last year I flew in to Stansted early, met a mate for coffee by Tower Bridge, had a leisurely walk along the south bank of the Thames, then we went to Baker Street and met up with a crowd for breakfast & pints. Me & another lad got the tube up to Harrow to meet the lads coming down from Liverpool, had a few pints there & then got the tube into Wembley for the match, nicely bevvied.
This year most of the lads didn't get tickets - the one other who did is flying in from US, and we are meeting up for an Indian at 12 noon - that's a very new experience for me, not sure how I will deal with a dose of the wildies in Wembley ... and now I have to kill 2-3 hours in London Sunday morning.

Thats just such a very bad comparison. They don't even play in the same position. Szobo is only 24 as well.
And we paid 60 mill.
He’s nothing like Hendo?
Take a plastic bag !
Hendo RCM, Szob RAM.
You're right, different positions. Yet Hendo is only slightly behind szob in g&a when comparing his title winning season to szobs. Szob is well off his xG and xGA. Hendo his his xg & xGA.
Yes, szob progresses with the ball but does fuck all with it. What's the difference between captain sideways and captain "run 30 yards forward to pass it backwards"
We can't continually praise szob for his work rate and pressing and then moan when he's compared to Henderson.
I like szob, I think he'll be an excellent addition....but for £66m (€70m) is it wrong to expect more from the attacking midfielder? Even slots said it.
Nah, check their positions throughout their careers and when playing for us. Its a bad comparison.
Szobo is a young player coming into his prime and performing much better this season then his first. Progression.
The goals and assists will continue to come as he develops.
I dont really like it when people compare a player that has been in the league for 1 year and is in his 2nd season to another who had a different entry point to his Liverpool career anyway.
I'm less confident szob will kick on in an attacking sense as you, primarily because coming to us ruined his numbers, so I'll assume it's a klopp/slot tactical thing.
He's still a very promising player; a promising player sacrificing himself for the system

Reminds me of another league cup final in the 90s (Bolton I think), On the drive back to Liverpool, one of the lads who was a bit worse for wear thought he was very clever puking into a plastic bag - only to find out there was a big hole ripped in the bottom & he covered his shoes 🙂
He is, but PSG rested their team at the weekend, and Elliott and Jones weren't at their best so the stat is exaggerated. It wasn't a huge shock they seized control in ET.
Re: the Indian - double dose on Imodium. Save the explosions for later.
I think it's taking him a while to find his feet in the system but I do think he'll kick on. As the season has gone on it's become more obvious who has benefitted from the changes Slot has put in place (Gravenberch, Macca, Gakpo etc) and who hasn't.
Well Quansah just got picked for England, so this is his chance to show what he can do. Gutted about Trent, mind.
As said regarding tired legs:
Slot: “In the end, it is normal the players are tired in extra time, especially when it is so intense. I made five changes, so five can't be tired, I don't think that is why PSG was better in the last half hour… 4 days in between so the players can play Sunday again."

If you’ve nothing better to do and want to grab a coffee/beer Sunday morning drop me msg. Getting you a coffee/beer is the least I can do for being able to have your Madrid ticket earlier this season!
True, to some extent. Its already been discussed that they looked much more fit with them having rested 9-10 players during the weekend.
But the stat is from 106 mins. We lost all control in the 2nd half of ET. Not only fitness but we lost our shape as well.
Tiredness and 5 changes of personnel will do that.
PSG being able to rest their whole team because they play in a shit league is definitely an advantage no matter how you want to spin it.
I hope Macca takes all corners, they were much more threatening than usual against PSG. Quansah in there will be great too.
Big midfield battle against Bruno G, Tonali and Joelinton.i wonder if Howe will send them out to play football or to try and deploy their shit house dark arts tactics from the start.

Yes, said as much in the match thread.
This is why I think we need to start with 4 midfielders. Gravy, Macca, Jones & Szobo.
I'd play Nuñez because I had three older sisters and sometimes it's just fun to fuck with everyone even if you know it's not worth it and you'll pay later.
To be honest we were playing Southampton at Anfield, we had a large lead at the top. We should've been able to rest the vast majority of our team as well.
Thanks for the offer, but I'll probably hook up with my sister or one of the nephews in the big smoke
