Bench is a huge statement of intent. We’re going for the treble (quintuple?) lads!

Fantastic team. Really looking forward to seeing all the youngsters.

How come Hoever’s not getting a game? Hasn’t had a run out in the first team this season has he? Good to see Matip and Lovren back, and Keita on the bench

You've answered your own question. We have two first team CBs returning from injury and both badly in need of minutes to get up to speed. If Hoever features he will probably replace one of them at some point in the game, or fill in at RB.

Controversial selection, but I trust Klopp.

Why controversial?

Great to see Origi get a game would like to see him given more time generally.

He's been unfortunate to fall behind Williams at right back and Klopp doesn't deem him ready for centre back (recalling and then starting Phillips against Everton).

The original version has an alternate CB who normally played in midfield, for another team.

Hoever is a right back

I like the team selection. Good mix. Hope to see more good stuff from Jones, Chirivella and Williams. Also want to see what Minamino can do when he is more of a key creator in the side.

What have you got against Elliott?

tubby · « **Reply #134 on:** January 26, 2020, 04:14:41 pm »

Wonder who will play the 6 if we're lining up as usual, Chirivella or Fabinho.

King Kenny 7 · « **Reply #135 on:** January 26, 2020, 04:14:52 pm »

Happy with that selection, pleased to see Chirivella get another game.

On paper it looks like a well balanced team.

Looking forward to seeing more of Jones and Elliot.

think klopp rewards those that performs in training and on the pitch. hence neco getting the nod. Hoever was out of the team for a while representing the dutch as well.

chirivella might be doing something right since he have been chosen to be in the squad.

where's he going to play? Lovren and Matip need a game, Williams has pushed ahead of him at right back.

Hoever is a right back

His bio says he is equally comfortable at both CB and RB. And as Fromola says, Williams is slightly ahead of him at RB.

Dan The Man 28373 · « **Reply #142 on:** January 26, 2020, 04:19:57 pm »

Nearly a full 11 not even in the 18: Alisson, Gomez, VVD, Robertson, Milner, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Lallana & Mane.

Shows we DO have good strength in depth now.

Prediction: 0-4.

Point remains. Klopp doesn't think he's ready yet (Phillips starting the derby) and Williams is ahead of him currently at right back.

Did well at Wolves last season in the cup and I thought he did well at MK and Villa. Having to go and play in a youth tournament has cost him a bit because Williams made a name for himself against Arsenal in his place.

Equally comfortable is perhaps overstating it, he’s a right back that can play centre back and may end up there long term. For now though he’s much more experienced at right back.

We tried to get disqualified by naming Chirivella, an ineligible player. Now we're making sure of it by naming an even more ineligible player.

In fact, as I read that back, I see I've mentioned ten outfield players. Although that wasn't my intention, let's go with that for my predicted line-up and see how many I get right:

Adrian

Williams Lovren Matip Larouci

Fabinho

Chiravella Jones

Elliott Origi Minamino

No chance I'll correctly predict the next FA Cup line-up if we get through though!

Only if you don't pay attention to this team. That lineup is pretty much exactly what most of us would have picked for this game based on the opposition and knowing how Klopp chooses his team. Personally, the only one I wasn't sure of was Left Back and Klopp has gone with Lorucci.

If Keita had been on the bench this weekend then he would have been starting this game, the same goes for Lallana/Milner. With weakened opposition Klopp will treat the FA Cup for those first teamers coming back from injury, his second best group of first teamers and the best young players we have. The only way he plays the regular first team in this competition is if it doesn't affect our League/Champions League aspirations and the opponent is strong enough to warrant it.

Looks more like a CB playing at RB. Like Gomez he isn't the biggest so might be in his 20s before he moves inside. He isn't good enough in the opposition half to forge out a career at RB with us.

jonnypb · « **Reply #155 on:** January 26, 2020, 04:43:07 pm »

Love how this is a stronger team/bench than we had against the bitter blue noses. Klopp obviously sees Shrewsbury, who are near the bottom of league 1, as a bigger threat than the blue noses first team

reddebs · « **Reply #156 on:** January 26, 2020, 04:43:48 pm »

Nice interview from Pedro there and interesting him saying how he felt everything was too quick for him when he was with the 1sts a couple of years ago but now he feels more comfortable with it.

Like the look of the team and great to see the young lads involved again.

Goals for Harvey, Curtis and Taki would be nice but isnt really important so long as we're in the draw tomorrow without a replay.
