I think we will see Robertson get a game today.

Not even on the bench again. But given the volume of games we have coming up it would be suicidal to think Moreno should be starting every game for the next 6-7 weeks

No Lallana on the bench?

only back in team training since Wednesday. Plus he's been out a while, likely hugely sensble not to throw him in after 3 training sessions with so many games coming up.

Henderson?...match ready he?...very doubt

No Gomez? Is he injured?

No, just not enough places on the bench

On the bench so obviously not.

I'd assume as well the fact that Gomez played both games for England and we're expecting to be on top and dominating possession gets Trent the nod.

On the bench so no. Think AA offers more going forward which, given I expect Southampton to have the bus parked today, will be more useful to us. Gomez will almost certainly play against Sevilla in midweek.

classycarra · « **Reply #168 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:16:25 pm »

Fucking great starting line up, though obviously would prefer Matip in it. Our most balanced midfield three, in the absence of Lallana. And a good bench too!

Surprised Yoshida and Gabbiadini only on the bench, assume the latter will come on if they've kept it at 0-0 long enough. You can tell they don't intend on having the ball in midfield at all!

rocco · « **Reply #169 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:16:50 pm »

Klopp said team selection based on Southampton been a possession based side

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #170 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:21:52 pm »

I'm surprised that Shane Long is starting ahead of Gabbiadini and Austin

Baffling how Gomez doesn't get a game at CB ahead of Lovren and Klavan

Not really, he played loads of minutes for England and we've 2 massive games in the next week. Let's not push him too much.

Because Clyne is out injured, could be risky playing a 20 and 19 year old on the right side of our defence. If Clyne was okay I think we’d see Gomez much more at CB.

Nope. Mane starts. No Matip. Henderson, Coutinho & Gini in midfield.

Matip is injured.

With the number of games we have coming up it makes sense to use the squad as a whole. Gomez will play an important part in the next few weeks, and coming off the back of games for England it makes sense.

Haha. If you say so. Baffling you think it's baffling.

How many games has he played at centre back in a two for us (or England for that matter). Two thirds of a game we lost badly to Spurs?

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #180 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:33:16 pm »

Big 4 in the line up. Hope we get the win now and get a move on the table. About time really. Come on you Reds!

wemmick · « **Reply #181 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:35:10 pm »

I wonder if we’ll see that narrow 4-4-2 (4-2-2-2) again? Could be killer on the counter.

moloch · « **Reply #182 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:36:57 pm »

So the plan is to out-score Saints then.. :p

Mighty_Red · « **Reply #183 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:37:16 pm »

The only weird thing about TAA starting ahead of Gomex is that TAA has tended to play the CL games and Gomez in the Prem. Swapping now seems a little odd.

Lots of attacking options, just need to keep our heads at the back, and find a way through.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

Gomez was playing CL until his sending off against Sevilla.

J-Mc- · « **Reply #185 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:39:32 pm »

They’ll target Trent for the ball over the top today so Lovren or Klavan need to been on form to cover in behind.

Unlucky for the Ox not playing.

He was playing into a good level the last few games.

Fucking hate when we play against Shane Long.

ac · « **Reply #188 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:45:34 pm »

Nice line up - everyone in their natural position. Resting Gomez also makes sense

mersey_paradiso · « **Reply #189 on:** November 18, 2017, 02:47:18 pm »

Really want us to smash these off the park , 4 or 5 would be nice and keep a clean sheet too while we're at it.

Will happily settle for a 1-0 though.

COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS !!

Good team except CB! Should be a win but wary of Soton!
