Was fairly upbeat at the start of the week on our chances but with our captain now added to the list, along with our top goal scorer its difficult to see us winning, certainly not comfortably in any way, if at all. Its not a result that will define anyone's season so hopefully all this rotten fortune is out of the way now, than at the business end of the season.

I suspect we will play another experimental formation and team, just avoiding a defeat and further injuries we should be happy with that id have thought.
I think even with injuries we're a horrible, horrible match up for any Rodgers side. He's faced with the same old dilemna - play to his side's (and his own) strengths, which leaves them horribly vulnerable to our counter pressing, or attempt a defensive job that he's not actually particularly good at coaching. The scoreline hasn't always reflected it but we've consistently dominated them under his management. Of course, it'd be ludicrous to say that our back four won't be a factor at all but it's hard to get at us that much when you hardly have the ball and you're being smothered by the press, as has been the case in recent match ups.
He is the cat who walks by himself, and all roads are alike to him.

He is there.

No Thiago again though.

Probably hardly trained with the team.

Possibly playing at the back having to track Vardy.

Dont think he will start Klopp wont want to risk another injury.

Thiago turned up at the new training center for one day and then disappeared again. Not even pictured in the gym today. Bizarre.

The whole situation is just really weird.

Yes, the challenge was disgusting but rather the Club told us more on timescales. He has genuinely been close for a month now and not featured.

Everyone just wants to see him play.

It's not bizarre, he's in with the medical team. They don't often show those pictures. Today's pictures are of the players who are actually in full training.

Id say Thiago maybe had bone bruising on his knee. That can take a while to heal. By all accounts there was no ligament damage.

I’ve thought this for a while but I think the club were intentionally a little coy about it as it may have been a touch overkill announcing that he was going to be out for 5 weeks plus at the same time we had the Virgil news, and to be honest I don’t blame them.

He’ll be back soon enough. Whatever tack we’re taking will be for the benefit of the club and to increase our chances of getting a result.

It may be that or he may have had a setback but everything is just guesswork at this stage.

Genuinely have no idea when he will be back.

For some reason a portion of our supporters have this weird infatuation surronding player injuries and their constant updates. Every time a player is injured and he doesn't feature at the first given opportunity, there's theories, ''weirdness'',etc...

This isnt the first time and it won't be the last time unfortunately. The club nor the manager are not required to give daily updates, weekly updates, full details or any details about any injury if they don't wish to.

There is nothing weird about it. Some players heal quicker than others, there are also set backs to rehab, whatever the issue may be.

When Clyne was out for a whole year almost due to a back injury there was constant rumors about him and whether or not there was something deeper. Same thing with Shaqiri last year, ,etc. there are umpteenth examples of this.

We all want to see Thiago play, but he's not being taken care off by pub doctors, he's in the hands of a world class team. Is it hard to give them the benefit of the doubt ?

And that's the c ase with every player who gets injured here, Klopp is always coy with his answers and rightfully so. But everyone still goes down the hole of conspiracy theories and whatnot, each time it happens.

Right so no one is doubting the clubs staff but there is a but.

he could have had a setback, or the medical staff is not ready to give him the green light, given that he's also had serious knee injuries earlier in his career.

The club never said he'll be back on this exact date at this exact time. Things change when it comes to the body and how it heals.

If he was ruled out for definite, would that make the opposition manager's job easier or harder?

Why the need to micro analyse everything? International break turns some of you in to a right odd bunch :) Thiago will start on Sunday, you heard it here first, Klopp trying his hand at Jose style mind games, don’t be surprised if Joe and Big Virg play too.

Just frustrating as he’s clearly a different class.

Plus you can accept a normal injury rather than an assault.

Would love to see Thiago feature on Sunday, but imagine he won't be available as he doesn't appear to be in the training photos with the main group. I will be pleased enough if he makes the bench.

Going to be a tough game on Sunday, I'm just so excited to see the reds play again, I don't know if it's got something to do with the latest lockdown, but this international break seems to have dragged on and on.

With all the injuries we have and with Vardy being on a hot streak and rested due the international break, I think this is going to be a massive challenge to maintain our home record.
