I wouldn't rest Dom. He needs to try and be more heavily involved in the attack
He can practice that against Bologna, who are 18th in Serie A having drawn 3 and lost 1.
Would be useful to manage minutes in a busy run of games including Chelsea at Home and Arsenal away.
Arsenal can’t and won’t rotate as much so ideally we have a fitness advantage going to the emirates.
This is west Ham, they are going to look for the win, and field a strong side
West Ham are struggling in the league and have Brentford away next weekend. They will save what players they do have for that.
Just like they did last season and got absolutely spanked by a team which consisted of Kelleher Gomez Quansah Kostas Endo Jones and Harvey playing in a front 3
Poor the Gomez
He'll start for sure.
And I hope he dispels my worries
No, but when surrounded by inferior talent, then that activates his doubt chip, and he dont pass the ball quick enough due to lack of trust.
My doubt chip needs overclocking to even read this.
------------------------Kelleher
Bradley---Quansah - - - Gomez----Tsimikas
-------------------------Endo
------------Nyoni-----------------Jones
Chiesa---------------Nunez--------------Gakpo
Wouldn't mind if Morton or VVD started, but generally would like to see some heavy rotation and minutes shared out.

Is that a skin-on chip or crinkle cut?
Crinkle cut!?! You heathen.
Amen
To add to that, each of the players we call our 'fringe' would absolutely Ralph into West Ham's first team so there's really no excuse other than lack of familiarity with the system
Curious about how Arne manages rotation, Klopp would have fielded a stronger team than expected in a game like this
I guess the reserve back 5 pick themselves. Endo, Gakpo and Jones are certain starters as well, Jones probably in the Szob/Elliott position judging by his last game
That leaves up 3 positions:
- Morton to get w chance in midfield? Can't afford to burn out Macca/Gravenberch
- Nunez or Jota? I'd give Nunez another go
- Chiesa ready to start? Don't think so, it's Mo or even Jota for me

Really hope Chiesa is fit enough to start and to last at least an hour. Salah, Macca and Konate need to be rested completely.
My team:
—————-Kelleher————-
——-Quansah——Gomez——
Bradley——Morton—-Tsimikas
——Szobo———Jones———
Chiesa——-Darwin——Gakpo
Subs:
Jaros, Van Dijk, Trent, Robbo, Endo, Gravvy, Nyoni, Jota, Diaz

Szobo needs a rest as well. Played so much football already and looked tired after 60 mins against Bournemouth.
Give him the night off.
That is a strong side. If it's not good enough to beat West Ham (which will be changed up too) then not being in the competition is fine.
Endo has to start in place of Morton.
West Ham have conceded the most shots in the league so far by a mile. They look all over the place and their manager look clueless. They will most likely rotate as well, and if our second string can't beat them then so be it.
We have to prioritize game time for some first teamers during the season and that needs to happen on Wednesday.

If Slot has been watching most of the reign of Klopp to glean some information, he'll try to lose this game and fail.
You really want Jones to fail dont you ? You really are a scouse hater... please go back to England !!!!
WTF are you on about? Jones isn't a 6 he's playing at 8 or 10....... in reserve games like the LC.
