Topic: Liverpool V Arsenal - Sunday 27th August 4pm. Pre-Match Thread.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Milner isn't a right back

Well, neither is gomez. Good luck to the lad. Can't say I'm confident with it

[SuperStevieNicol]

Bullshit, we've played 4 games and he needs a rest? Bizarre and then some.

[RK7]

At least the spotlight is off Lovren and Moreno. Like others have said, I can also see a high scoring game today.

[wemmick]

Gomez at fucking right back?

Sanchez coukd rip him to shreds

To be fair, he'd rip TAA to shreds, too. TAA is not a better defender than Gomez.

[tommy LFC]

Gomez at fucking right back?

Sanchez coukd rip him to shreds

Sanchez could rip most right backs to shreds.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Resting the goalie is a bit stupid.

There is a phrase in coaching --- I'm Jurgen knows... if its working don't change it.

Well, this indicates to me that something is going on with Simon (not professionally speaking, maybe more personal).

But, WTF do I know.

[Nick110581]

Well, neither is gomez. Good luck to the lad. Can't say I'm confident with it

They have Holding and Monreal in a back three

Let's look at their weaknesses

[jillcwhomever]

Or maybe those people werent talking about resting the goalkeeper?

There's been plenty of people going on about the keeper his name only has to be mentioned and some are only too happy to slag him off. People questioning the manager for changing the team, are the very people who were questioning him last season for not doing so.

[Koplad83]

Karius will be sound he's a class keeper. These are getting turned over today. Just get behind the lads and everything else will sort itself out.

Exactly, Sanchez might be on the back foot a fair bit

It wasn't exactly working though, was it? So maybe Klopp is right to change it.

[jckliew]

Resting a keeper is bizarre though. Not too sure Klopp is genuine with his answer there.

He probably never is.

[harleydanger]

Bullshit, we've played 4 games and he needs a rest? Bizarre and then some.

said with a straight face too

[Zoomers]

It makes me laugh that people have criticized Klopp before for not resting players, and now he is doing so people are still criticizing him. You're damned if you do you're damned if you don't falls to mind.

Resting a goalkeeper.... come on now. I'm certain he isn't "resting" him.

[ToneLa]

Decent team. I trust in Klopp! No drama unless you invent it. YNWA! Let's smash these!

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

They have Holding and Monreal in a back three

Let's look at their weaknesses

Monreal isn't bad,. Holding can be exploited though. Both defences are weak, thankfully i trust our attack and we're at home

[liverpool185]

It makes me laugh that people have criticized Klopp before for not resting players, and now he is doing so people are still criticizing him. You're damned if you do you're damned if you don't falls to mind.

Rest your number 1 keeper in the cups, not in a big match against a top 4 rival. Stupid decision imo.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Maybe Simon did something and violated club rules or something, can't believe that he would rest him in this match

[sms1986]

said with a straight face too

Couldn't possibly be telling the truth based on him knowing far more than we do or anything!

[Ste08]

Rest is the new bad back. 

That defence is worrying. Hope we are on the right side of a high scoring game.

[jillcwhomever]

Rest your number 1 keeper in the cups, not in a big match against a top 4 rival. Stupid decision imo.

I will take Klopp's opinion over your's any day of the week.

There's something else going on .

Their defence isn't much better.

[Len1]

It's a big risk from Klopp - this resting goalkeepers. Particularly when we don't have a settled back 4 and who knows what kind of performance Lovren and Moreno are about to put in.

[harleydanger]

There's been plenty of people going on about the keeper his name only has to be mentioned and some are only too happy to slag him off. People questioning the manager for changing the team, are the very people who were questioning him last season for not doing so.

Same people who slag off Mings.

We could have De Gea and Nuer between the sticks at the same time and they'd still slag them off, because they hate the socio-economic system they reside in and aren't intelligent enough to realise the reason they're so unfulfilled isn't because of a footballer in their team not being that good

[SuperStevieNicol]

said with a straight face too

Totally straight face. You think a goalkeeper needs a rest after 360 minutes of action? What about Matip? He's played every minute so far I think, why isn't he being rested? I hope Karius has a blinder but I don't buy that our goalie needs a rest.

[jillcwhomever]

There's something else going on .

Why has someone said so on social media?

[Barneylfc∗]

Rest your number 1 keeper in the cups, not in a big match against a top 4 rival. Stupid decision imo.

Maybe wait until the outcome of the game before declaring whether it is stupid? If we win 4-0 with Karius saving 2 penalties is it still a stupid decision?

[El Lobo]

There is a phrase in coaching --- I'm Jurgen knows... if its working don't change it.

Well, this indicates to me that something is going on with Simon (not professionally speaking, maybe more personal).

But, WTF do I know.

We've conceded 7 goals in four games, its hardly working.

[Barneylfc∗]

Why has someone said so on social media?

He's off to Napoli

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Or Gomez could have Sanchez in his pocket

Sure, I'm being a bit pessimistic. It doesn't help that i think sanchez is the best player in the league

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

It's amazing how many people are shitting themselves because the oft-maligned Mignolet isn't starting.

[ToneLa]

Maybe Simon did something and violated club rules or something, can't believe that he would rest him in this match

I can believe it what with it being a squad game and all. No point having three keepers if you only use one. I'm certainly not going to call Klopp a liar.

[jillcwhomever]

Same people who slag off Mings.

We could have De Gea and Nuer between the sticks at the same time and they'd still slag them off, because they hate the socio-economic system they reside in and aren't intelligent enough to realise the reason they're so unfulfilled isn't because of a footballer in they're team not being that good

I know, there are some who will just never be happy no matter what.

[sms1986]

Maybe wait until the outcome of the game before declaring whether it is stupid? If we win 4-0 with Karius saving 2 penalties is it still a stupid decision?

But then what can they whinge about?

[jillcwhomever]

He's off to Napoli

Have the club said so? No disrespect but until I hear it officially I will be cynical about anything said. 

[Barneylfc∗]

But then what can they whinge about?

Oh don't worry, as you know they always find something.

[Barneylfc∗]

Have the club said so? No disrespect but until I hear it officially I will be cynical about anything said. 

I know. I was just saying what has been said on social media 

[Fitzy.]

They have Holding and Monreal in a back three

Let's look at their weaknesses

No, I'm too interested in having a head wobble!!!!

[rocco]

Why has someone said so on social media?

No

Just common sense


Why would you rest your number  one choice today?
