Topic: West Ham United vs Liverpool (Premier League) - 12:30, Saturday 27th April

Good team. The players that got dropped, deserved to be dropped.

Agreed. There are complaints about a lack of pace but Dom and Nunez are horribly off the boil and Salah’s seemingly lost his. We have the players who deserve to be starting on the pitch

Hope Bajcetic gets some game time though

[Barryg21]

Now league is done, feel this is Klopp making a statement. All the names who have been so poor these last few months are dropped
Its not because they are tired, as Macca is tired and he is playing
They were dropped as they were rank

Hopefully some good comes out of this, and players like Dom and Ibou come back raring in pre-season
 

[Buster Gonad]

Dropped all the players who have shat it recently. Nice.

Not quite. Trent is playing

[Redman78]

Serious question here, how long can they linger? Because that was the end of February and it's nearly May now. He's been playing for the 18s since I think.

Yep, concussion isn't a factor here, our match day squad is very strong so it was always likely Danns would miss out.

[4pool]

Just Win Please.

I'm very happy with that team. Sick of the same people letting us down week after week since mid March, and this is mostly a meritocracy XI. Feels a bit like that period around January last season where we just dropped Fabinho and Henderson and played better with the second string.

99.9% the league is gone, so it barely matters if we win, but mostly I just want to see us play with some pride and act like we give a shit.

This is going to be the worst game of football you can imagine
The ‘on the beach’ derby with no threat and no motivation
Happy Saturday everyone

Absolutely. Good opportunity for some players to show they deserve to be playing; a good opportunity for others when they come on to make amends for recent subpar performances

Just enjoy the actual footy. We can all accept that it's a hard ask even to get a win today, but we've done great stuff before.

Probably not to be, but the fans at the game won't have given up - though it was pretty depressing at Goodison the other day.

Shit happens and we are in a strong place to get into the 'Champions' League.

[LFCEmpire]

Agreed, it's gonna be tough though, that's a very strong West ham side.

Yes definitely a tough game. We need to turn up from the start.

[rafathegaffa83]

Happy to see Klopp seems more like himself in the pre-match interview.

[Giono]

I thought Diaz looked good coming from the right, Gakpo looks better on the left. Would've been nice to see here with Elliott in the middle.

Exactly. Diaz on the right stretches defences as he tries to run behind them to curl towards goal. On the left, Diaz cuts towards the middle in front of defenders.

Gakpo on the left is great at bringing holding the ball up and bringing Robertson and the mids into play before moving or passing.

But with no Jota, who do you put in the middle other than Gakpo? Gravenberch? And put Diaz on the right amd Elliot in midfield? I don't think Klopp will change his stripes THAT much.

[Buster Gonad]

Has that end of season feel. Team looks average enough. West Ham have been shite recently mind you so anything could happen.
May as well just sit back and try to enjoy. Would be nice to see bajcetic on at some stage.

[AndyMuller]

Why does Gomez never get a chance at CB?

God knows considering our best partnership was him and VVD.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Fuck me, didn't realise it was the Manc cheating c*nt refereeing.

Fuck off.

[Paul_h]

4-0 to the reds
