I'd have played Benteke. Origi won't score. He never does.

 

[refugee]

Flanno captain. He'll have to put a pillow on his lap when they are doing the team handshakes.

He scored a hat trick last time he played Southampton

Yeah, the Premiership is a slightly different competition. And he's scored twice in the Premiership. In total. I really don't understand the Origi adulation. He's pretty quick and runs about a lot, but simply isn't a very good finisher.

Allen and Origi starting makes me nervous about the game

 

[Glen C]

Loving that team. Origi offers so much more to the team than benteke. Pure pace up front with origi and studge.

 

[Comical Aly]

Henderson on the bench is interesting. I like that Klopp doesn't seem to be totally myopic* about players.

*excluding Mignolet

 

[RedStar]

Id have had Sakho as captain, but fair enough

Hendeson is on the bench because he's been ill

 

[dmishra]

Wow, Flanagan as captain. What a moment for him!

 

[dmishra]

Also, I wonder what kind of formation this will be. Origi playing as a LW in a 4-2-3-1? Or a diamond with Lallana as one of the CMs?

 

[doctor_mac]

Ojo on the bench. Ahead of Ibe in the pecking order now?

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Lads we're gonna Flanno Southampton.

 

[Modo]

Lallana to play in the middle.

Allen and Origi starting makes me nervous about the game

I can vaguely understand the origi worry, but allen has been in great form when he's played recently, and I'm positive he'll do much better than an ill henderson

It needs to be a rocket up ibes arse. Although I hope ojo grasps any opportunity with both hands

 

[Red Mullet]

But then it'll be a free kick to Southampton?

You also said Firmino was useless a few weeks ago so hopefully you can keep your record up.

Long as it's in their half its cool

He's 20 years old though. After wrongly giving up on Firmino after 2 months you could give a 20 year old a bit more time to develop? 😉
Keep your record up though, that would mean Origi will turn into something decent.

 

[Hansern]

Ojo deserves a place on the bench after that hattrick. Lets hope he gets a few minutes.

 

[cloggypop]

Bit mad having our captain wearing number 38.

 

[Wiberg]

Problem with Allen is that he rarely gets in the box. Compared to Hendo he never gets there. If he does her usually pulls a godison park. I think it changes a lot in terms of what we are asking of Can to name one. He also covers less ground than Hendo as far as I can see... And if he doesn't then he certainly covers the ground in a slower tempo.

Origi and Allen makes me edgy as fuck as well.

 

[Red Mullet]

If you squint your left eye it becomes an 8

 

[bkwitche2]

Starting to worry that Sturridge will never get injured again and score around 8 goals a season.

 

[Hansern]

Be great if Ming at some point would start coming for those crosses

 

[bkwitche2]

Well that was a penalty all day long.

 

[Markeh]

fuck off Long

 

[ILD]

Was sure that was gonna be a penalty.

 

[Hansern]

Got lucky there. Long made a meal of it but was some contact
