Endo, Elliott, Mac Allister is the obvious choice for midfield.
Jurgen and Kelleher doing the press conference at half past the hour.So, we know who starts in goal.
Half past which hour?
Curtis has low grade hamstring issue. Him and Gravenberch back after international break
Klopp: "Virgil is a little bit ill, should not be a big thing, should be absolutely alright for the weekend. Ryan got a little niggle in the knee but he's already running, we're hoping he'll be back for Brentford, if not definitely after the international break.""Curtis had a hamstring injury, after the international break he'll be back, it was a low grade hamstring."
Fun fact for the day: -They make Airbus's in Toulouse.
It has an extensive, pedestrianised central area that is quite lovely....my favourite town in France actually.
Crosby Nick never fails.
Excited for this.I wonder if Klopp starts Quansah with Chambers or Scanlon next to him.I guess McConnell going get some minutes at some point also
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks
Do they ship the wings from North Wales?
I think we will go strong and look to essentially give ourselves a light early December/late November in terms of Europa commitments. The only counter to that is that Brentford are a good side and Klopp does respect them a lot, so he may decide to prioritise that game.
i think before the last few days, going strong and getting it done made sensebut now, and this is purely for discussions-sake and obviously not something controllable, it feels like this is the game to rest everyone we can/need to ahead of the more important and consequential sunday. wouldnt have said this before last weekend, but seeing how gassed two of our mainstays (and captains of their international teams) Dom and Mo looked against luton in combination with the unavailability of Jones (2 games) Mac (1 game) and Grav (1-2 games) suggests its best we rotate/dish out minutes purely on the basis of ensuring we're firing for sunday. we also don't know if Diaz is going to be available day-to-day, gakpo may be needed in midfield against Brentford and we've leant on our three senior fullbacks a lot in recent weeks/months too.i'd like Dom and Mo kept on the bench ideally. Quansah and Chambers starting on our left, Doak starting on the right, McConnell getting on (maybe Kaide too, but doubt he can). Elliot's got wildly good stamina so I guess he and Mac play the 90, but Endo might need a rest on 65ish given he likely has to start Sunday too.
Cheers for the OP Zlen.I think we'll go strong to get the group won early. The benefits of being able to rotate heavily in the last 2 games are massive, especially before the busy Christmas period and with a LC cup quarter final coming up.Illness and injuries partly dictate the line-up, but our squad is deep enough to put out a good side whilst still resting key players. I'd go with: Kelleher, Gomez, Konate, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, Mac, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Nunez, Jota.That gives Mo and Trent a rest, but still on the bench (along with Diaz) in the unlikely event we need them. Mac can then play before his PL suspension, Darwin gets a chance to prove any doubters wrong, plus it gives more valuable minutes for Endo, Quansah, Gomez and Tsimikas, plus we'll hopefully see Elliott and some of the youngsters from the bench.Great chance to bounce back quickly from the Luton game, get this one done and dusted, then move onto Brentford, and we'll hopefully have good momentum before the international break and the City game.
And bring Dom off after 60 for Elliott.Get a win and put the group to bed.
Definitely. He looked a bit gassed against Luton, but if we can have Endo doing the hard yards behind him and Mac, they can hopefully both do more damage further forward - then either of them (or both) can be replaced later in the game.I make it sound easy of course, but that's our ideal scenario in my view (plus no more injuries...).
I’d be fairly surprised if Elliott doesn’t start this. I think he’s started all of our Cup and Europa games as he’s usually sub in the PL.
I'd go with the below. Give Tsimikas and Endo 45-60 minutes ahead of Brentford. Interesting that Gordon has travelled. He made his first start in over 20 months in the U21 game yesterday. He'll be on the bench tomorrow but would be surprised to see him come on. But all part of his reintegration.
