[Fruity]

Need to win this and get the 3 points. It is all that matters. Always important to win when the teams above you are dropping points. Carrick is at the Wheel!

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Still blowing a gale in Liverpool.

Was ridiculous last night, but I don't think it's blowy enough to call the game off - unless it gets worse again

40-50 mph at the moment, but down to about 20 mph at kick off. Should be fine


Got up to 80-90 last night.

It crossed my mind this morning, there are trees down all over the city. I've come in for a couple of hours in work by the waterfront and its still windy, but nowhere near as bad as last night. Reckon the game will be sound.

We had the worst of it last night (was horrendous). It'll affect the match as a spectacle but it won't be in doubt, although a lot of people will struggle to get there with trains up the wall and motorway issues. You'll get empty spaces.

[Yorkykopite]

Nice stuff Jack.

'Bout time Virg got on the sscoreboard.

[Dazzer23]

Flying this afternoon, I’m not going to know the result until I land around 7.00 p.m.

 The not knowing is going to be purgatory. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t know what was going on in a game as it was happening. Even right back to the pre-internet and pre-sky days I’d have my eyes glued to ceefax, or my ear to Radio 2.

[UntouchableLuis]

Sounds like if you're planning to travel down the motorway it could be a nightmare depending where you come from. Can see there being a fair few empty seats sadly.

[DelTrotter]

Marriner reffing again, 3 stonewall pens not given last time we played them and didn't even get a free kick when Walcott tried to finish Milner's career. Hopefully he's a bit better today.

I feel your pain,

my wife booked a fllght when we played Villa in 09 (shes now my ex wife)

maybe turn it into a positive, have you got access to Sky or LFCTV?  LFCTV show the full game on Saturday nights and it mightbe the game of the day on SKY, if you avoid the score a bit longer its like watching it live

I missed that game due to a flight as well! Was that 0-0?

You may get wifi on board depending on who you are flying with.

The club have asked anyone going to the game to leave early, the turn-styles will be open from 1pm.

Thanks.

Great OP jackh


I usually enjoy the game when we play against them.
Of course they have to be defence minded but they dont all sit behind the ball and try to have a go which usually means we get a few chances.

A game like this is really in our own hands, play professionally take a few of the chances and see it home.

Don't like making predictions as its nearly always a scud.
So any win will do and hopefully sets us up for a dangerous Wed night game.

#LFC v Southampton:

Alisson, Trent Konate Van Dijk Robertson, Fabinho Henderson Thiago, Salah Jota Mane

[Fromola]

Good line up. Would have preferred Matip started today than the other night but hopefully he's back in for the derby.

Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago finally starting together.

Thought he may play Konate in derby but makes sense to keep Matip in

[RyanBabel19]

Shame Ox and Tsimikas are out but the games are coming thick and fast

[tubby]

Great team, probably as strong as we could go.

[4pool]

Keep a clean sheet, score a few goals for fun, Happy Days.

[killer-heels]

Surprised we went full strength as would have expected Ox to start but I guess he played two games in a row. Wonder if Thiago gets a rest at Everton.

That would be ridiculous but yeah it's probably possible sadly as he's starting all games lately.

Anyway, great team, 4-0

[xbugawugax]

decent enough line up

hope we get a semi competent ref that doesn't get a hard on every time the camera is on them.

[Nick110581]

We have a days extra recovery over Everton too

[AndyMuller]

Let’s batter them and make Ralph cry.

[Libertine]

Wow, strong line up.

Usual crazy selections against Everton then?

[smutchin]

For all the talk in the media and among opposition fans (and even some of our own) about our supposed lack of squad depth, that’s a formidable starting XI, with some very strong options on the bench.

Southampton are there for the taking at the moment. I’m confident we’ll be able to get the result sealed by 60 minutes so we can make a few tactical subs ahead of Wednesday’s big one.

[Samie]

[Samie]

[Keita Success]

Matip and Bobby away from our strongest XI, in my opinion.

Up the fucking Redmen.

[mallin9]

what does Tsmikas need to do to get a run of games?  Just find it curious that Robbo, when available, goes nearly straight back in to the 11, when they’ve both been good this season, both have strengths and weaknesses, at this stage Kostas having a nicer contribution in attacking third

[Dave McCoy]

Just worry the wind is going to make something crazy happen.  We are so much stronger than them it shouldn’t matter.

[Guz-kop]

It's windy as fuck so he probably doesn't want to take any risks and just wants his most trusted players out there. Let's smash em

Klopp is big on Rhythm so i’m assuming he wants him to play his way back into form. I’m sure when I saw quotes from Klopp he was aluding to the fact people forget how good Robbo is and Tsimikas’ ability simply means we have 2 really good LB’s. From memory, Klopp doesn’t really ‘drop’ his biggest players for us. Bobby, Trent, Mane, Hendo, Robbo have all had runs where some feel they need a break/rest but we often keep playing them through these periods even when there is an alternative option available who could play

I agree. If going by form then Kostas should be starting.

[keyop]

Rotation, players coming back from injury, and a Fabinho/Henderson/Thiago midfield. Strong bench, and Bobby, Keita, Gomez and Elliott still to come back.

Gotta be happy with that.
