The bench is on its way to looking good again. Add Trent and Szobozlai and we're in business going forward.

Would have gone Konate and Jota from the start I think but good side and stronger bench tonight

Not ideal Diogo, Ibou and Curtis benched, hope that midfield stands up to it physically. Get it done!!!
I'm not sure why we wouldn't go full strength in a match that can see us through to a final and a chance to win a trophy. Rest everyone for Norwich if we have to.

Jones went down with an injury - he was never starting.

Ibou often gets injured - and Jota is still coming back to full fitness.

Makes sense.

Assume the knocks to Curtis and Ibou at the weekend are just niggly enough to keep them out, early goal kills it, got to be clinical.

Well we promised Kelleher so to go back on that wouldn't be great for morale.

I think Gakpo will start in front of Nunez, Quansah for Konate and Gravenberch for Jones. Kelleher for Ali. Rest of the team to remain unchanged.  Puts away crystal ball.

I think the Kelleher situation is why Klopp gets more out of players than other managers.

For example if Kelleher has been promised the League Cup, if Jurgen’s was to turn round and say I’m going to play Alisson it says to Kelleher he doesn’t trust him. That has a knock on effect where other players then no longer know if they can take his word.

The arrangement seems to work and everyone is happy. If Kelleher were to start costing us games particularly important ones, that may change in future. But so much of what Klopp can get from his players is down to them buying in and trusting him and what he says.

You only have to look at them as they come off the pitch to know what he means to them.
But that harmony can be destroyed and if the squads unharmonious then there’s less chance of us doing well and winning things as a club

On another note it’s great to see almost everyone really want to win the League Cup. Before we won it a couple of years ago I’d estimate at least half of the posters on here were indifferent to it or wanted to get knocked out early so as to concentrate on other things

We would make the final much harder for ourselves for no reason if we started Kelleher. It's just a stupid thing to do.

The selection makes sense.

Jones is a risk after suffering a niggle. Konate has a history of muscle injuries and should not start twice a week. Jota has came back from a muscle injury and is not being risked with a long season ahead.

I guess we’ll see in a few hours, but despite the injuries I’d be surprised if we don’t field our strongest outfield team available. It sounds like we’ve a few to come back at the weekend and at home to weaker opposition is the time I’d assume we mix things up more
guess we were both wrong! only person I'd ideally have liked to see more protected than Jota and Konate was Mac, but we don't have any alternatives so we're continuing to lean on him heavily post-injury return. I hope he has the weekend completely off. his fitness could define the next run of league games

He's visibly worse than he was two years ago, and I disagreed with it then anyway. If we make it to any final you should pick the strongest team you have available.
