Rumours flying about Nunez is benched for Diaz. Silly decision if that’s true.

Rumours flying about Nunez is benched for Diaz. Silly decision if that’s true.

Considering Jones and Nunez played the full 90 against West Ham I think Klopp's plan was always to play Gravenberch and Gakpo against Arsenal.

No issue with Gakpo starting but we need pace out wide. Diaz shouldn’t be starting ahead of him on current form.

[Clint Eastwood]

Glad Gakpo is starting but it should really be Diaz dropped, not Nunez. There will be plenty of space for Nunez to exploit, against Ben White. Diaz doesn’t seem capable of doing that at the moment.

Not really.
Diaz is fresh.
Nunez is great to bring on and scare the shit out of them. As long ss Jones starts we’ll be fine.

[killer-heels]

Wanted Nunez to start but it’s not terrible he gets a go from the bench.

[Haggis36]

Would be bizarre. Arsenal will come at us so it’s the type of game where pace in behind could really be advantageous and this is the game we choose to drop our only genuinely pacy forward having played him against a bunch of parked buses in recent games. It would be a very slow forward line… Arsenal will push up and really squeeze us, and on the face of it we won’t have an obvious out-ball.

Jurgen doesn't a clue what he's doing?

[Zlen]

Jurgen doesn't a clue what he's doing?

When the fuck did he ever have a clue? Guy made a career out of scraps he picked up on phone calls with Gerrard.

[CS111]

What a game this would be to win. Def one where we need to be taking any proper chances we get.
Fancy arsenal to score at least once but up to us then to see how many we can convert.

Discussion on a discussion forum, oh no.

[marios_moustache]

When was the last time we scored an early goal?

Trying to think and it feels like it has been ages.......

[xbugawugax]

diaz to open the scoring.

and nunez to seal the win with the 5th. you heard it here first

[DangerScouse]

Discussion on a discussion forum, oh no.

Challenging an opinion implying you know better than the manager, god forbid.

[CS111]

I see martinelli and saka are 1 and 2 for ( one on ones ) this season. Possibly a busy evening for trent and timi
Though im Sure the same will be said for their left and right backs.

[Samie]

[Samie]

[Draex]

Hopefully Trent is playing traditional right back, good line up, Nunez to come on vs tired legs.

[Zlen]

I hate this shit where were not listing players by lines. Whoever thought of that needs to be fired.

[Rosario]

Glad to see Jones starting, really wish we’d stop releasing the team sheet like that though.

[Hazell]

Great team! Let's twat these.

[reddebs]

Don't know if it's a good or bad thing after the last two games but I'm working tonight so will miss this one.

I missed the Mancs but watched West Ham 🤷

[CS111]

2 attack minded teams no doubt

[tommy LFC]

They've built a great team at Arsenal. But the glaring potential weakness is Raya with a noisy Anfield playing on his mind.

[rob1966]

Happy with that team, Nunez to come on and terrorise them and finish them off

[TepidT2O]

Good to see Gakpo and Jones keep their places …. Fully deserved

[Caligula?]

Not really sure about Endo but otherwise a good team.

[newterp]

Happy with that team, Nunez to come on and terrorise them and finish them off

I think that is the plan as well.

[Zee_26]

I hate this shit where were not listing players by lines. Whoever thought of that needs to be fired.

Agreed. Thought Endo was playing right back for a second.

[xbugawugax]

gakpo, tsimi and arnold up front again.

klopp really mixing it up this season

[Brian Blessed]

Happy with that team, Nunez to come on and terrorise them and finish them off

I disagree. Nunez not starting is beyond ridiculous. Time for Jurgen to pack his bags?

[A-Bomb]

Two pretty evenly matched teams, will be a right ding dong of a game i reckon.

Really need to get the first goal and set the tone - hope the atmosphere is absolutely rocking too...

[stockdam]

I hate this shit where were not listing players by lines. Whoever thought of that needs to be fired.

Eh? I did think it was a bold move putting Tsimikas as centre forward.

I think Gakpo has earned his starting spot but I also think that Nunez will be a great option off the bench against tired legs.

Gomez, Nunez, Elliott and Gravenberch are great subs that will change the game.

[Number 7]

When was the last time we scored an early goal?

Trying to think and it feels like it has been ages.......

20 mins in against Fulham

[SerbianScouser]

Darwin against tired legs last half hour is gonna be wild. Great option to have.

[Number 7]

Darwin doesn’t really deserve to start does he. And Gakpo does.
Let’s see what happens in the game but I think it’s a good decision.

[SamLad]

I disagree. Nunez not starting is beyond ridiculous. Time for Jurgen to pack his bags?

has it not occurred to you that maybe he has a knock?  jesus.

[Draex]

has it not occurred to you that maybe he has a knock?  jesus.

No he’s starting by the looks of it.

[jillcwhomever]

We need to remember that we are losing Salah shortly, so Nunez will become more the mainstay as Jota won't be rushed back. So, I can understand the team news today.

[Chakan]

has it not occurred to you that maybe he has a knock?  jesus.

I think you'll find he's joking

And Jesus is playing for Arsenal.
