If that's the case, I'm surprised he hasn't even put him on the bench, rather than having two keepers

Wednesday is more important

[lfcred1976]

But he isn't.

Wednesday is more important

Both games are important

[tubby]

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

This is a wind up, right?

[Armchair expert]

Going to be tough with that midfield and then you throw in Paul Tierney then it’s got the makings of ruining my weekend

[WhereAngelsPlay]

This is the kind of team we’d put out in an FA cup tie against championship opposition. So it should still be enough to beat Forest but it’s not going to be a walk in the park.

Oh fuck off is it.

Either way it’s genius

Is this a serious post?

But it wasn't,I'd already listened to the Boss speak about it.

[PatriotScouser]

I actually am excited to see Elliott and Jones linking up in midfield.

That Forest defence looks dreadful and the midfield not much better. I fancy Mo to get a couple.

Prediction 3-1!

[RK7]

Forest are terrible and we'd need to play really bad to not pick up 3 points today.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Well good for you that you heard it before me 🙄

I posted about him being injured. About 90 seconds later Klopp said he had an ear infection. No big deal is it ffs

Could've fooled me after the posts I've just read (not yours).

They are, but it will be bouncing there today. Their players and fans will be more up for it then any game so far.

[El Lobo]

Thiago is very good aerially, have you been watching him?

Right but it looks like we’ve asked him to head the ball more instead of chesting it, to avoid a chest infection, but it’s then caused an ear infection.

[Fromola]

That's not too bad. With some antibiotics, he should be o.k for midweek. Hopefully, anyway. Shit luck though.

Ear infections are nasty and don't really react to antibiotics. They can wipe you out for a couple of weeks.

Injury situation obviously ridiculous this season but Nunez hopefully is caution and Diaz and Trent were victims of bad challenges at Arsenal. Jota probably not wise to play for 99 minutes of a high octane game still getting his fitness back, but that's a consequence of losing Diaz.

[Cesar]

These will raise their game because it's us but we have more than enough to take a comfortable 3 points (provided logic prevails.. and we play more like first half v West Ham and not like second half..)

Why those two players in particular?

[didi shamone]

That's one impressive injury list. Any win will do under the circumstances.  So little time to regroup since the last game as well. 

[Lycan]

Yep

[Fruity]

Injuries are telling at the moment. I think forest will be up for it because it's us but if everyone brings their A game we should have enough to do the job. Need some goals from Salah today.

[meady1981]

You all thrive on this kind of drama you silly sausages 

[keyop]

I hope the club takes a good look into why on earth we are getting these injuries during the upcoming world cup. Its just completely mad.

John Henry's been pushing them way too hard with his intense training drills. Everything's his fault apparently.

Get Amoxicillin 500mg into him and he will be fine

[Crosby Nick]

Salah has a lot of fond memories of playing against Steve Cook and will presumably be down the middle here. Get him and Bobby linking up close together and the chances should come.

[naYoRHa2b]

This just feels so much like 20/21 it's mental.

Just have to keep finding a way to get results now till the world cup break. I wouldn't take this game for granted anyway. They might be bottom but but we are still a good few players down and they'll be up for it.

[Fromola]

Be a tough one anyway but at least it's Forest away today rather than one of the top sides. We're capable of winning the game.

Really need to get the job done at Ajax or its must win v Napoli.

[rocco]

It’s mainly because we play in the premier league but worth looking into imo

Na,Teflon is our John.

[HeartAndSoul]

Questions need to be asked of our medical team. This is a fucking shambles that we’re going in games after games with new injuries and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

[killer-heels]

Its nuts for us to blame one particular department as we don't know, its probably a combination of things. But in terms of competitiveness we could argue its had one of the biggest impacts this season.

[xbugawugax]

fab and jones as the 2 more defensive minded midfield?

hope to see elliot,fabio,bobby and salah all interchanging positions.

hopefully we can keep it watertight for the start. cant imagine going down early and chasing the game against a couple of parked buses. would be a fun half time thread

We need a point from our last two games to qualify, so it’s must draw.

[Lycan]

Weird how they are the very thing GP's will generally prescribe you with then. And have done with me twice. First time it took about a week for it to clear up. Second time I was right after about 4 days.

[Sinyoro]

A glimpse into the future, passing of the baton

[B0151?]

Could be a tough one but perfect opposition and opportunity for the younger lads to impress and Salah and Firmino to show their enduring class.

[rocco]

It’s killing us imo

But some how City seem to be always down on the list of injured players

I think we're hoping Jones and Elliott will provide the energy in there. Jones hasn't got 90 minutes in him now though so it'll be Henderson on after maybe an hour.

Very little scope for offensive changes.

This just feels so much like 20/21 it's mental.

Basically if we have a relatively injury-free season we challenge for the title.
