Pre-match thread Bournemouth (A) - 11 March 12:30

[jexykrodic]

I'm sure Klopp will be reminding the players that Bournemouth were 2 goals up at Arsenal and cannot be taken lightly. Full concentration and intensity from the start, if we can get a decent lead then start thinking ahead about changes, resting etc

Lets not undo the good work through complacency.

 

[Fabio]

I doubt we will see Keita start again.

Words will never convey how true I hope this is. I also hope we never see him as a sub either

 

[737Max]

And the athletic thread? @737Max did you post it?

Of course I posted it

Not a fan then Fabio? 🤓

4-3-3/4-3-1-2:
--------------Alisson------------------
-----Konate-------Van Dijk---------
Trent-------Fabinho------Tsimikas
------Elliott--------Bajcetic----------
--------------Gakpo-------------------
--------Jota---------Nunez-----------

Give Mo, Hendo and Robbo a bit of a rest before the big game in Madrid. Need to keep Gakpo in the side to continue building the attack around his "false 9"/AM role. Jota and Nunez can interchange as the 2 de-facto strikers.

Only other change that I would like to see here is Carvalho for Nunez

 

[Donavan Ried]

By half time.

"The next game is Bournemouth. That will be tough: 12.30, early kick-off, always difficult over there, small stadium but we should be full of confidence but be very humble and ready for a tough game."

Rando fact. Even after the weekend, Arsenal have scored 32 more goals than us. City have scored 19 more.

Isn't it crazy to think we've only concede 3 less than both though?

 

[Shay_K]

We've scored almost 1/5 of our prem goals against them this season so...

jeepers yes.

36% of our goals have been scored against them and Bournemouth.

When we win 12-0 this weekend it'll be more like 46%

The worst thing about giving your biggest rival a drubbing is the complacency. Klopp needs to bring the players back to earth with it was only 3 points.

First thing Robbo said in an interview after the game.

 

[Brizzle]

Luckily the international break means we don't need to worry too much about resting or rotating for Madrid as we have this week off and then no games after Madrid.

I'd like to see same team, no one deserves to lose their place. Only thing I'd like to see is Diaz on the bench to get involved again with the matchday squad ready for his return in April.

 

[Hansern]

Luis Diaz seems to be close to a return.

Luis Diaz seems to be close to a return.

I agree with @Brizzle and it would be nice to see him on the bench.

 

[binomial]

Read somewhere we wont rush back and we'll wait until after the international break....which is sensible, especially after Sunday.

 

[MomoWASright]

10 minutes against Bournemouth and Madrid when we are 7-0 up in both won’t hurt the guy.

It won't hurt LFC either if we don't see him, seeing as we'll be 7up in both games by HT. we'll be seeing the likes of Nat Doak and Fabio.

Rather do with him when he's had a bit more time so he's back ready to start games.

More chance of seeing Luis than those 3. King Arthur will be involved before those three.

Liverpool strikers will not want rest

When the two teams met in August, Liverpool won 9-0 at Anfield, costing Scott Parker his job. Jürgen Klopp’s side are coming into this match off the back of a monumental 7-0 victory over Manchester United, while Bournemouth have won once in their past 12 matches in all competitions. The signs are ominous for the bottom-of-the-table Cherries. Four of Liverpool’s attackers scored in the thrashing of United to give the frontline a much-needed confidence booster. Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez et al will be keen for some further target practice on the south coast because they will be heading to Madrid in midweek in the desperate hope they can overcome a three-goal deficit against Real, so will not be keen on being rotated out, especially against a side who have conceded seven in their past two matches. A rest can wait when it comes to goals. WU

Guardians of the galaxy ten something about the weekend.

 

[Woland]

I wouldn't rotate anything outside of midfield.

 

[juniormember]

I wouldn't rotate anything outside of midfield.

I’d like that midfield kept as is, just to see if it wasn’t a fluke.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I would rest Henderson 100%

Yeah but even it wasn't it can only play once every two weeks

Jürgen Klopp has offered an update on the fitness of Thiago Alcantara, Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez.

The trio will not be available for Liverpool's lunchtime Premier League tie at AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, but they are edging closer to returns to action.


Elsewhere, the Reds have no fresh injury concerns heading into the trip to Vitality Stadium.


Klopp told his pre-match press conference: "All three not available [this weekend].


"Different stages, I would say. Joey might be able to train at the beginning of the week; Luis I hope during next week. After the international break, then obviously for both [it's] possible.


"Thiago we will see. None of them trained yet with the team and then we will see how that develops in the next couple of weeks and we will know more

Wouldn't be disappointed if we never saw Gomez or Thiago again tbh, the number of injuries and the lengths of time they're out for....what's the point.
