Would rather we played Konate today and next Sunday and sat him out on Thursday. That's how we'll need to manage the squad for the rest of the season given he can't play a succession of games together.

Klopp said on Friday Konate is fine no?

Said this before and then a player misses 3/4 games.

Would be dining if he’s injured when he missed all those games for us and we didn’t pull him from French duty.

Believe he missed training because we gave him extra rest so it makes sense. Will be hoping he is on the bench.

But you wouldn’t want him starting Thursday and Sunday

Yes. Surely, if he is fit he will start the utd game, though? My guess is if he is on the bench today, he will start against Sheffield Utd on Thursday and be given around 60 mins before taking him off with a view to him starting against Utd on Sunday. There is just no way Quansah, despite being excellent for us, starts ahead of Konate in the utd game if the latter is fit.

Think he’s saying Konate starts today and the United game and sits out the Sheffield game during the wee

Thats not how injuries work though is it? This game his now and he may not be 100% ready or we want just a bit more time. People cant pause their concerns and issues to suit a schedule.

Its like how people say play a game now and they will have xx weeks off. If they are tired and are in the red now, then thats it.

Konate not playing today but playing 90mins for France after coming back from another injury is a fucking joke.

Wool · « **Reply #129 on:** March 31, 2024, 12:34:50 pm »

Did he play for France? If so that’s a joke. He needs to get his priorities straight.

Maybe klopps planning 45 mins each for Quansah / Konate like he sometimes does with the centre halfs in cup games

or maybe our physios gave him the green light coz he needed to get minutes in his legs?

is it so hard to give our players the benefit of the doubt now and then.

There's no confirmation either way, just a leaked team.

DangerScouse · « **Reply #136 on:** March 31, 2024, 12:52:12 pm »

And it would make sense to rest him today after his involvement.

Konate not starting is fine its only if he is not on the bench is it a problem.

What a top guy Lallana is. Just on sky saying he is desperate for us to win the league and go far in the other cup competitions and said "I still think it's possible for them to lose one more game and still win the league and that is what I am aiming for, unfortunately". He called Anfield his home

Strong side.

They have some big lads and Gross on set pieces so need to be careful not giving away FKs.

Would have been better if he didn't play for France or got limited time but started today. 10 games left we need all hands on deck.

He's not going to refuse to play for his country is he? Blame the France setup if you like, but directing any blame towards Konate is just silly.

Good side. Get these hammered then enjoy later.

Buzzing for Ibou to play some minutes v Sheff Utd then need resting v the Mancs

Knight · « **Reply #147 on:** March 31, 2024, 01:03:41 pm »

Injury crisis, at the moment, very much over. That is a super strong side with a good bench.

I have always loved Adam a dream footballer at his peak and an even better person. He interviews really well.

No Milner for Brighton. Does that mean he’s taking over from Klopp?

Minutes in his legs for France meaning he’s then unable to start for us? We need him at OT next week..

Syntexity · « **Reply #152 on:** March 31, 2024, 01:06:41 pm »

Tough test for the team today, tough test to start the run-in. We need to win this one, and to do that we need to play really well. We have to be clinical in front of goal, we need put away our chances when we get them. We need the 3 points today.

Come on Liverpool!!!!! YNWA!

I assume he's not in their squad for today?

edit: he's on their bench

Garlic Red · « **Reply #154 on:** March 31, 2024, 01:08:37 pm »

Their side isn’t looking the strongest. I hate Welbeck, he’s one of those deceptively clever players that always causes us problems with his movement. He’ll be looking to catch Quansah and Bradley out all game, it’ll be a decent test for those two. We should have more than enough to get over the line here today, we have a habit sometimes of not showing our levels against smaller sides but hopefully we’re business-like today and get it done before half time.

Just avoid giving wellbeck any chance to fall over for a penalty and we’ll be grand.

Sounds like from what Jurgen is saying they are being cautious with Konate but he trained fully yesterday

Danns crept back in there quietly. Will he get game time ahead of Gakpo today?
