My conspiracy theory is that there wasn't anything wrong with lovren. Klopp didn't want to get even more flak by starting a 16 year old so told lovren to feign injury early so that Hoever could come in. Keeps the young lad from getting nervous too.

Ha the thought did cross my mind.

Apologies if already posted in here, but what is the current list of available centre backs for the Brighton game?

If it is, as I'm guessing, just VVD, I feel that Jurgen could maybe line out a 3-5-2, with Fabinho - VVD - Milner being that back 3. TAA and Robertson can tuck in when we are defending.

We tend to dominate the possession against teams playing a low block, so this formation could suit.

Granted Brighton are the home team, they will probably be a bit more adventurous there than when they have come to Anfield!

Still I wouldn't think this set up would serve us too badly?!

Just a thought...

If down to one CB, I'm not sure why you would revert to a formation that requires 3!

Fabinho with VVD in a normal back 4 please

it happened at brighton last year and wijnaldum ended up back there. maybe 3 at the back at brighton was on his mind

though i wouldnt agree with two midfielders in a back three even if the other one is vvd

Apologies lads, it was indeed the Brighton Away fixture last year that I was thinking about.


We lined up with:

Can - Lovren - Gini

in a back 3 that day.


TAA - Fab - VVD - Robertson

in a normal formation should do the trick this Sat alright!!  ;)

Update on Brewster's recovery.

He is back outside and doing ball work at Melwood, the club won't rush his recovery because we have cover for Salah and Firmino but he could play before the end of the season.

he's going to need a while from here to get his fitness, sharpness/timing down - and then to test getting bumped into, knocked down, etc. It's going to be a 2 year injury for him.

I genuinely didn't.

If him playing this season is still regarded as possible, he's presumably going to be fine to get a full pre-season under his belt if he doesn't suffer any further setbacks before then.  It sounds quite positive in regards to him being an option for the start of next season at the very least.

Info on Brewster, from the Echo

A year after his world was rocked by a serious injury, Rhian Brewster is on the comeback trail.

The 18-year-old Liverpool striker is back out on the grass at Melwood doing ball work with the club's rehab staff.

When he ended speculation about his future by penning a first professional contract with the Reds last July, Brewster had targeted a return to action by Christmas.

However, Liverpool have been determined not to rush things with the England youth international.

They are reluctant to put a time scale on his return to full training with Jurgen Klopp's squad, but the fact that he's working outside again represents an important step forward.

Brewster initially needed surgery in order to repair ligaments in his ankle. However, two months later he required a second operation having also damaged meniscus in his knee in the same incident.

Talk about him being fit at some point in pre-season proved premature and it's been a long, gruelling road back for the youngster who was signed from Chelsea in 2015.

Klopp helped keep Brewster's spirits high by inviting him to do his rehabilitation programme at Melwood rather than Kirkby. That was also designed to show him how highly he was regarded.

There was a period when Liverpool feared they would lose Brewster. His representatives turned down a number of offers from the Reds to sign a professional contract and were keen to explore a potential move to Germany.

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

The idea of Henderson and Fabinho being our starting CBs against Wolves seems a bit far fetched

They said "about six weeks" that does not translate to it being exactly six weeks to my thinking. You use common sense to realise it's a rough estimate based on the mending going without a hitch. Clearly its taking longer than that, which can sometimes happen. It's one of those things, with Joe's record of injuries we obviously can't take any chances.

No. The exact words they used were up to 6 weeks. Not about. You can go look at the press release if you want. The target for these is always return to play as well as that's what the goal is. The healing isn't taking any longer than it should and if he's going to be back in the next month then it's probably going the same as all fractures do, which is a non or partial weight bearing status for the first 6 weeks whilst the new soft bone hardens enough to allow full weight bearing. Thats basic fracture healing no matter how many caveats you put on it. To put 6 weeks for this was just getting people's hopes up and waaaaay off the mark as he was never going to be back 6 weeks after fracturing his fibula.

It still doesn't change the fact that any thing they say is tempered over whether the healing process is a quick one or not. I never take anything they say as gospel because at the end of the day any player injured can suffer setbacks, which will obviously put things back. Really don't get why its such a big deal. It's only because fans spend too much time stressing about stuff like this.
