His technical ability is really very very good and his willingness to attempt to (and at times succeed) go past defenders is something lacking in our midfielders bar Keita and Ox. Those traits give us ball retention and an ability to make things happen, ally that to his goal-scoring and he's a real gem in the making.

His first touch is way better than Ox though, which is so important for a midfielder. He won't ever match Ox for speed and powerful running, but he's got everything else.
 
Couple of my mates got tickets for the next match.

Its 1500 tickets in a ballot for any Liverpool area ST holder or fan card holder with maximum credit from 2 seasons ago, and there is a 1 in 4 chance of gettign a ticket.

So by my maths that means there are only ~6K season ticket & full match attending fan card holders in the Liverpool area ... surely that can't be right?

It could be right. Loads of season ticket holders aren't locals. Loads.

Despite us having twice as many fans as Everton (by their own study) in the City, they defo have more local regular (as in most matches) match going fans imo.
 
Plus uptake might be low. I wouldn't be that arsed by going to sit in a football stadium in the cold, surrounded by empty seats, no atmosphere, no songs, and you can't celebrate goals anymore anyway.

Sounds a bit shit.

Compared to some of the other options during lockdown in tier 2, I would say sounds like a good night out still.
I was excited about the local Turkish barbers opening back today so standards are pretty low right now.

Nah. Go into most pubs when the derby is on and reds outnumber blues. It's just harder to get tickets
 
Naby lad back for this, would love to see him start. I wonder if Klopp & co will think about managing his workload like they are Matip - keep him rested for PL games.
 
If Trent & Naby are back I want to see:

-------------Kelleher------------
Trent--Matip--Fabs--Robbo
--------Hendo---Gini----------
--------------Naby--------------
Salah-------Jota---------Mane

Then give the outfield X of this team a rest for midgetland
 
Our next few games are like this (bar Palace all are early to late evening games) :
Wolves (H - 6th), Midtjylland (A - 9th), Fulham (A - 13th), Spurs (H - 16th 9pm), Palace (A - 19th), WBA (H - 27th).

That's not a bad run at all if we play a virtual reserve team vs. Midtjylland. A week's rest after Wolves and 8 days between CP and WBA. So we should be looking at whatever we call full strength on the day in almost all of those games.

Naby is back, but what about TAA ? Seems like he's in full training now. With that week's rest after Wolves I'd start him if fit. None of this bench lark.

............................... Kellagher

TAA ........... Matip ................ Fabs ...... Robbo

..................... Hendo .......... Gini

............................... Keita (Jones can come on when he tires, or vice versa with ca. 50/40 mins each)

Salah .................. Firmino ................ Mane

You know Klopp is starting Bobby after his last excellent runout, so Jota is coming on after 60-70 mins for whoever of those three is looking like they need a break.

It's a strong team and I'm going for a 2-0 win if that's the starting team and subs.
 
Would be nice to see Jota against his old team mates from the start but trust in Klopp. Part of me doesn't want to risk Trent, but at least he would get significant rest in a couple of those gaps between games.

I'd start Jones ahead of Gini, to give Gini a break and only bring him on if we need.
 
I think Klopp is going full strength. He'll rest the usual starters against Middlesjylland.

Not sure if Trent starts because he just came back from injury. Then again Neco is going to be needed in the CL game.

Anyway, my team:

Kelleher

Trent
Matip
Phillips
Robbo

Fabs
Hendo
Gini

Salah
Mane
Firmino

I thought about Phillips too however Matip+Fabs is clearly a stronger pairing and we now have more than enough in midfield though it would be good to see Fabs back at DM.

The reason for having him in midfield is mainly because of the injury crisis in midfield and the fact that Wolves have pretty skillful players in the middle. At times we just let Ajax stroll through our midfield, our CB's were made to work hard that game.
 
I think Mane needs another week off. He looks half the player he is at the moment.

Bobby looked much sharper against Ajax so I'd start him Firmino over Mane and stick Jota on the left.

Kelleher to face another test against Wolves

Jürgen Klopp celebrated blooming youth in the aftermath of Tuesday’s hard-won Champions League defeat of Ajax. While Neco Williams and Curtis Jones conjured the winning goal between them, Caoimhín Kelleher was first to receive a bear hug from their manager. The goalkeeper’s ability to play with the ball at his feet, born of playing as a midfielder in his schoolboy days back in Ireland, would seem to push him ahead of Adrián, rather less of a ball player, in the reckoning to stand in for Alisson, the latest victim of Liverpool’s plague of muscle injuries. Williams and Jones may play their part, too, as Klopp’s rage at the scheduling continues to be justified by senior players breaking down. Wolves are also having to look to youth, with Raúl Jiménez set to be missing for some time after fracturing his skull at Arsenal on Sunday. Fábio Silva, who came on at the Emirates after that sickening injury, showed fleeting glimpses of what made him worth £35m from Porto. Nuno Espírito Santo is being characteristically cautious with him, but a vacancy has arisen.
