Zero chance he’s played every min and is in a boot.
I can’t see the medical team risking anyone. If players who declared themselves fit for the final didn’t make the match day squad I can’t see any of the senior players who started yesterday starting if they have any fatigue which is inevitable
I
I still think you will be disappointed.
Sigh.. its like you don't actually read.
Any impact injury requires a protective boot until scanned.
Hopefully it's just a bad cut from Caicedos studs
Like fresh red said.. I think you are going to be disappointed. This isn't FM. Southampton aren't a L2 team. It'll be a mix.
I genuinely think klopp has given up on this competition based on the needs of the season, and he's right to do so. There's a reason he said he's pretty sure it's his last time in Wembley.
To him, on a certain level, he finds this sort of fixture congestion fucking ludicrous and not his problem if he can't field a team. He is going to put out an academy side. Maybe konates plays? Maybe some bigger names on the bench. I can't think of anyone else who will start who is a first teamer.
It's not just this game either. It's the one after that, and the one after that. Pruning four games out when we are utterly devastated with injury is just sensible. We are going to have to limp through this part of the season without things getting worse, and then we need a ton of luck with midfield durability, keep our forwards fit, and get all our players back elsewhere.

I like the look of that but if Virge is ok and no issues with fitness for this and Forest then I'd go with him and shift Gomez to RB (Bradders to get a breather)
I don't see how Elliot can possibly start. He's been shattered two games in a row.
I wouldn’t start him personally but it’s games like these that are made for squad players like him and it’s times like these where players need to step up and be counted for despite how many beats a minute your heart rate is doing so long as you don’t allow the tiredness to creep in mentally.
You're sort of missing the point. Winning gives us a greater chance of the PL and losing less because of the Everton game being moved, then hopefully, we have players back.
He's not a squad player right now though. He's a nailed on starter. The amount of energy he still has in the dying minutes is insane, but it's not limitless. Szobo was a victim of his own battery, let's not kill Harvey, or we will kill our midfield.
Hey - I already have my Dublin hotel booked & paid for! And I was stood next to a fella a few years older than me yesterday who said it was going to be his last final & he was giving up after this ... by the end we were making arrangements to meet up in Dublin.
By all means ease up on the FA Cup, but I want one more big night out with Klopp when the new PL champions are in just one more final
Would say some of the seniors can easily play 60 mins. Therefore
Caoimh
Gomez Quansah Virg Tsimi
McConnell Macca Clark
Elliott Danns Gakpo
With Ibou on for Virg at 45/60 when we are already 2-0 up
Take Elliott and Gakpo and Macca off as well at some point
Rest Diaz for sure, rest Endo, rest Robbo. Would guess Nuñez and Szobo are fit enough for the bench

Getting smacked by Southhampton doesn't help someone like Clark who is now our 3rd/4th choice mid
McConnell is a 6 and Clark an 8.
I'd half love for Klopp throw the V's at the FA Cup and start Adrian in midfield. He could use some minutes.
There is a chance that he starts in goal.
I hadn't thought of that. Let's bloody hope not!!
They both played well, but Clark caught the eye more by winning every physical challenge he’s been involved in. He looks physically ready for EPL.
Come on, we are on our last legs here and losing players nearly every game. We have to protect our key positions where we have little cover either through injuries or lack of cover.
It's a home game with a full house just after we blitzed Chelsea in a cup final with youngsters playing a key part against a Southampton side who also have other priorities.
The other factor however is we have a Youth Cup quarter final away to Leeds on Thursday with a semi final v Millwall if we win. Can this be postponed? Doubt it. It's a big deal for the Academy.
I'm still drained after the final yesterday, how the fuck does Klopp and the medical team juggle all this??

Nyoni is in line to make his debut on Wednesday according to the journos. Looking forward to it. What a talent.
