Pre match: Wolves (H)

[Modo]

Date and time: Sunday 29th December, 4:30pm (GMT)

3 days rest between this game and the Leicester game, I'm expecting Klopp to rotate the team.
Salah and Keita were subbed early so I think they'll definitely start.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Milner start as well. Maybe Shaq for Mane and Origi for Firmino.

Wolves have less then 48 hours between the City game and the game against us.

Wolves having it worse, they have a day less to recover. It is going to be hectic for them and they’ll have to decide whether to go full swing against Guardiola tonight or save it when they face us.

Yup. Hopefully after last night they'll realize that City is their best bet.

 

[mom]

Yeh they’re at home to city and away against us too.

 

[lfc.eddie]

Yup. Hopefully after last night they'll realize that City is their best bet.

I am hoping they would look to impress their own fans in their own home and not so much on their travels, that would give us the advantage since the game against us is at Anfield. They've had a big of resurgence of late.

 

[Hansern]

The players looked sharp so I dont think he’ll rotate to much. Milner and Origi, in for Gini and Mane.

Firmino is on fire and has to start again.
We have 3 days rest, so no problem.

Surely a home game is where they'll play their strongest team and only rotate out any players carrying injuries or totally knackered. I doubt that will be many though - it's not as if they have been playing the number of games we have.

 

[Frogfish]

Maybe Klopp will rest Hendo, no need to risk him if he's taken a knock. Give him a few days extra rest. Otherwise I don't expect many changes. Maybe Origi for Mane who didn't look his freshest and maybe could do with a game on the bench to recharge those eneloop rechargeables. I do expect Minamino to come straight in against Sheff. Utd to give a player a rest after a hectic period (maybe Bobby).

........................... Becker

TAA ...... Gomez ............. VvD .......... Robbo

.................. Gini ........... Milner

.......................... Keita

Salah ............... Firmino ........... Origi

 

[Hansern]

Dont think Minamino can play before the Everton game due to the holidays and paperwork etc

They have a paper thin squad and have been playing Thursday - Sunday.
I think they’ll be playing their strongest team tonight, but will have to rotate a bit against us.
Can see them getting a result against City.

Oh I forgot they are in the EL too aren't they. Yep maybe.

Sheffield United was mentioned on Sky (or the BBC I forget - those are the two I check) could be wrong though.

[MomoWASright]

That’s because the squad lists have to be with the FA or Premier League at noon on the day prior to the games starting. He won’t be out player at noon on 31 December.

 

[Hansern]

I’d go:

Alisson
TAA Gomez Virgil Robbo
Milner Hendo Keita
Salah Firmino Origi

 

[Modo]

I wish someone could go straight in and give Robbo and Trent a rest.

 

[Brizzle]

4 of our next 5 at home. I think the Everton game will be our main rotation game with full strength back to back for Spurs then United.

 

[MomoWASright]

7-0

 

[Frogfish]

Yeah I just saw Joyce said the same. Pity his registration can't be completed in time for SU.

 

[Insignificance]

I’d go:

Alisson
TAA Gomez Virgil Robbo
Milner Hendo Keita
Salah Firmino Origi

Any news to worry about regarding Hendo?

 

[Dreambeliever]

Wolves will be fucked and have to rotate.

SU will be a tougher test.

I’d go with

Becker
Milner
Gomez
VVD
Robertson
Keita
Shaq
Lallana
Origi
Firmino
Salah

A midfield trio of Keita, Shaq and Lallana?? You must be having a laugh...

We’d still win

 

[hmmmmm1]

Play the same team, except Milner for hendo if he injured. Some of the players looked like they hardly broke sweat yesterday. Plus with city playing after us, it gives us a chance to pile more pressure on city

Is the idea that we handicap ourselves to make the league more competitive?

Origi doesn't play well with Salah - he does better with Mane.

 

[moron]

Is Clyne still around ?

 

[Modo]

We’d still win

You do know that Wolves have Moutinho and Neves in midfield?

 

[Modo]

Is Clyne still around ?

Erm he did suffer a ACL tear so, he's with us but not really.
I kinda feel for sorry for him to be honest. Injured his back and missed the CL win, then injured his knee before his final season with us and we're top of the league and he's actually needed for rotation purposes. He might be back for the last months of the season though.
