Who cares about Jota, did you all skip over the devastating news about Nat?

Season over

I hope Big Nat left more of one on Ibrahimovic if he ended up with a cheekbone fracture!

Jota out means Origi up top in this form I would say - who knows, maybe he does well

 

[Bradley]

What actually happened to NVP?

 

[SummerOnions]

I remember he basically headed Ibra towards the end of the game, and Klopp said he has a fractured cheekbone, so I guess it's that

Fuck yeah, there was a fair bit of time dealing with that actually. Totally forgot it.

 

[Hansern]

Origi starting instead of Jota seems to be the most interesting thing from the rumored team.

 

[dmishra]

Ox starting in the front 3

[Hyena]

NOrigi... why?

 

[keniget]

NOrigi... why?

It's not totally unexpected. Origi is always pretty much a last resort for Klopp.

 

[Mystic]

Salah up top, or Ox as a false nine?

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Ox in the front 3. Think the Boss had this move in mind for a while. Could be The Ox will play a similar role to Bobby. Jota must be about 85/90% fit. Minamino must be a bit put out.

 

[Bradley]

Massive DIVOCK isn't even on the bench.

 

[Hyena]

I love seeing Koreans on the pitch but Hwang has been the most useless player in the Wolves team (which is saying a lot)

 

[KopRed]

Haven't watched Gerrard's Villa but listened to a few pundits commenting about how open they are in the middle of the park.

Perhaps Ox was put in to exploit this with his driving runs from the 10 position.

 

[tomasjj]

Ox to link play? flmao
he is useless

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Potential banana slip today. Need to start with a bit of intensity. Can't rely on their manager to wind up Klopp & the Kop, but yer never know..these Huyton guys are narrrky..

 

[Modo]

I kinda admire Klopp's confidence in Ox.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Most got the Ox playing in the hole or like Bobby. I think the Ox should make sure he gets in the box. Robbo is full of beans and we need at least one in the box.
A given that we will control midfield. Will only be difficult if we lack intensity.

 

[binomial]

I kinda admire Klopp's confidence in Ox.

Not sure confidence is the right word.

 

[Woland]

He had a good game on Tuesday

 

[aquaman4]

Origi has a knock so unfit for today

 

[SummerOnions]

4 defenders on the bench, it's crazy how light we are in any position with a couple of injuries

Not really. It's been like this most of Klopp's reign.

 

[FreshRed]

Origi has a knock so unfit for today

Right. I thought he as a question mark for today.

Hope Ox can do the job. I wonder how much of CF he will try to be or it will look more like a diamond 4 in the midfield. Ox struggles when he can’t run at people.

 

[FreshRed]

Put Martinez in my fantasy team, which should ensure he has a poor game. Done all I can do.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Rumours that United will go after McGinn. We should get in McGinn's face..before he has a chance. He could light the odd fire and that will be OK with that. Gerrard might want to get at us early. It's a big game for Gerrard regardless of him down playing it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a bad tempered game. Gerrard will make sure they are wound up. He will say "don't give them to much respect" and McGinn will be up for it.

 

[moron]

Cunts de la cunts

Damn right, totally fucked that game proper, if only they had scored at that attempt at the end, would be so fucking funny.
