No Shaq

[Caligula?]

Who's the leaker?

[Caligula?]

The state of that bench though 😬

[vicar]

Bench is light - weakest I have seen it in years.

[unknownuser]

So the leaked team was correct. Should have left the spy at Melwood 

[Caligula?]

Excellent team considering! Hopefully Thiago can be a sub for the CL Final if we get there.

He's touch and go for next season, we'll have to see next week

[Amatt]

Excellent team considering! Hopefully Thiago can be a sub for the CL Final if we get there.

He might be fit for the start of the 2023/24 season

[Clint Eastwood]

Our starting XI is good but our injury difficulties are highlighted with that bench.

Frustrating Thiago is still not even ready for the bench.

[Samie]

Th spy has moved to Kirkby. Has to be a squad player...or coaching staff.

[jboy14]

Where is Shaq 

[Malaysian Kopite]

Shaq injured again?

[duvva 💅]

Good team that. We can do this Red Men

[PhiLFC#1]

Where's Shaqiri gone now? How's he missing out with that bench?

[SMASHerano]

What happened to Shaqiri? That bench is just...

[peachybum]

Not sure that team was leaked. Hardly rocket science to guess at that given who's available.

Shaq injured again. Just doesn't seem to be able to handle the training let alone matches.

[gaztop08]

no shaq...

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Leaked team correct. Jürgen won’t be happy that this is happening again.

Good to see Jones getting more minutes.

I think most fans would have predicted that team anyway.

[newterp]

That's a weak bench!

[tubby]

Bench is a bit grim but what can you do.  Real opportunity for Keita here.

[TepidT2O]

Centre back?

[Dim Glas]

No way would a coach do it. A player shouldnt either mind, but we know one did in the past.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

No Shaq

Wonder whats up with him.

Bench is a bit lacking and midfield is as strong as it can be but maybe not the solidest defensively. Nothing wrong with the attack though.

Defense is stronger than expected but obviously missing Trent

[ep1987]

Any thoughts on why Clarkson made the bench ahead of Jake Cain (who had been in the CL squads)?

[unknownuser]

Fitness issue for Shaq according to Ian Doyle.

[naYoRHa2b]

What's exactly wrong with Thiago? I know he took a knock against Everton when Richarlson got sent off but does anyone know what the resulting injury was?

[Motty]

Where's Shaqiri?

[thekitkatshuffler]

How many injuries will we need tonight for the match to be abandoned?

[Raid]

What's exactly wrong with Thiago? I know he took a knock against Everton when Richarlson got sent off but does anyone know what the resulting injury was?

It was a shocking tackle. Lucky to escape with a few weeks out.

Gutted for Shaq, would have been an opportunity again for him tonight

[Welshred]

Where's Shaqiri?

Injured

Nope, the club haven't released anything

[duvva 💅]

Not sure what people were expecting with the bench, we’ve got a few injuries. It’s what’s available.

[buttersstotch]

The bench is very weak, but to be expected with all the injuries we have - Shaq, Trent, Henderson, Salah, Thiago, Gomez, Virgil - crazy stuff.

Let's just hope we can bring everyone on for minutes when we are 4-0 up

[flyingcod]

"Xherdan Shaqiri misses as out as he tore one of Jurgan's slippers and wouldn't give it back, the nawtee Bull Terrier."


Actually a "fitness issue" according to the clooob.

I don't think people were expecting anything much better but they were likely hoping we'd see Shaqiri and Thiago.

[Dave D]

Looks alright to me. Plenty of match winners for us out there tonight.

[rafathegaffa83]

Who's the leaker?

Whoever it is needs to be read the riot act. It's clearly someone in coaching/playing staff. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a younger player in the first-team set-up

[gerrardisgod]

Any thoughts on why Clarkson made the bench ahead of Jake Cain (who had been in the CL squads)?

Thought Cain was a cert too.

Didn’t Clarkson play yesterday too for the 18’s? I know Cain was left out the u23 squad.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

I don't think people were expecting anything much better but they were likely hoping we'd see Shaqiri and Thiago.

Was expecting Shaqiri at least since we didn't know he had an injury, and Thiago on the bench would have been a special Christmas wish

[kennedy81]

That's not a bad team. Was half expecting Jurgen to tog out at CB.

[jillcwhomever]

What's exactly wrong with Thiago? I know he took a knock against Everton when Richarlson got sent off but does anyone know what the resulting injury was?

It originally took longer to settle down that they expected. They want him to be strong enough to come back for the rest of the season not just one game, so they are taking their time with him.

[duvva 💅]

I don't think people were expecting anything much better but they were likely hoping we'd see Shaqiri and Thiago.

Shaq’s a miss, but was anyone really expecting Thiago he hasn’t been in team training has he?
