Topic: Champions vs Sheffield United - Saturday 24 October 2020, 20:00

[Fordy]

If Jota, Minamino and Shaqiri started a league game in the league, many fans would lose their minds. Most seem to like the idea of rotation rather than the reality.

Makes sense to start Jota, Minamino and Shaq in the midweek CL game though.

[Indomitable_Carp]

If Jota, Minamino and Shaqiri started a league game in the league, many fans would lose their minds. Most seem to like the idea of rotation rather than the reality.

I don't see them all starting this one after Salah/Mane/Firmino played only 60 minutes last match.

You are right though there will never be a good time for it. This game it will be "but we have to bounce back after Everton and Aston Villa, can rest them later". Then it will be "but we have to maintain our momentum, can rest them later". Then it will be "got to stay top over Christmas can rest them later". And so on so forth.

Like Fordy said, they could well get a start together in the Champions League against Midtjylland.

[rawcusk8]

We could start Mo, Messi and Ronaldo and people on here would lose their minds, Klopp and the coaching staff know what they’re doing. We play midgetland during the week, if we’re going to rotate that’s the one to make wholesale changes. 42% increase in muscle injuries this season, we have to rotate, Klopp did the right think taking the front 3 off, I would play our strongest side tomorrow then make a bunch of changes for Tuesday.

[newterp]

Yeah its just his shoulder, not that that's important for a goalkeeper at all

Was he offside?

[thekitkatshuffler]

So if results go against us this weekend we could be 11th by Tuesday. 

[deFacto please, you bastards]

what if they go for us?

Many would but I wouldn’t (assuming it isn’t City away or something mad.).

It depends on the opposition and the context of the match (also I never said it had to be a league game.)

Could see us maybe doing 2/3 of them on Tuesday perhaps.

[BoRed]

We're more likely to be top.

[Welshred]

We'll have played 6 games not 36.

[Beninger]

You have the whoooole season ahead of you...

When we did it last season against Everton and the season before at Burnley quite a lot went a bit mad.

Results went alright though didn’t they?

I doubt our management is arsed about how our fanbase reacts to a team selection.

I won’t lie, I went a bit west with both of those two line ups, but we won both, which is why it wouldn’t massively shock me if you see something similar over the next few weeks whilst we’re playing twice w eeek.

Indeed. I loved both line ups and didn’t realise why everyone reacted so strongly.

We had a great squad and it showed in both those games.

Is this a serious post?

Why worry about that? Villa lost today (not that they were a long term threat). Win tomorrow and we’re second I think. And frankly we’d be ahead of anyone we need to worry about.

Yes, we would be second. I dream of us winning by a big score and Everton getting pummelled so we would be top  I'd imagine there is little chance of a 7 goal swing though  As long as we do our job, everyone else can worry about us.

It is a week where we need to win all three games; regardless of whether we do so scruffily or impressively. If we can win against Sheffield and West Ham, there's a chance we'll be top going into the oil cheat game! Beat the Danes midweek and we build on a fine result in Amsterdam.

[Ratboy3G]

Quite like Sheffield United, it was the last away I went to before Covid-19 and I have a close friend who was until March a regular match goer at Bramhall Lane but that means nothing as I hope we stuff these tomorrow

[deFacto please, you bastards]

More from Klopp, the embargo part of today's presser

[him_15]

Villa lost, with United play Chelsea, City away to West Ham, Everton away to Southampton, Arsenal plays Leicester on Monday. we have to win this to create a gap.

[Damian V]

Win this and 13 out of 18 points is fine. 1 freak result and an away derby in the 2 not wins.

Think it's vital Henderson plays in midfield.

[Zee_26]

Exactly. And we’ve had some tough fixtures to start the season.

[wampa1]

Exactly. And we’ve had some tough fixtures to start the season.

Agreed. Chelsea away, Everton away, Arsenal at home (granted we usually paste them them but they're still a reasonable threat), Villa away (always a banana peel) is tough. Only Leeds was the gimme and even then you never know against newly promoted sides.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Leeds under Bielsa are one of the trickiest sides in the league. They've easily beaten Villa last night, and have outplayed Man City in their draw. So far, we've had by far the most difficult fixtures compared to anyone.

[JC the Messiah]

Today is the first time we play a team that has dropped a point!

[Red Beret]

Leeds was never a gimme.

[duvva 💅]

Hadn’t realised that but you’re right. I think we should be pretty pleased with our start, freak result aside. We’ve beaten and dominated good teams, teams who are all improved from last season. It’s the first game against a team that look like they’ve regressed. Hopefully we can make the most of it.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Ox and Virgil the only two definite absentees then?

[IanZG]

Today is the first time we play a team that has dropped a point!

That's a brilliant stat. Has this ever happened (in general, not just to us) in game 6 of a season?

[duvva 💅]

Ox and Virgil the only two definite absentees then?

And Tsimikas. But yes Thiago, Matip, Keita and even Alisson are possibles. Be nice if even a couple of them are ready

[PeterTheRed ...]

Today is the first time we play a team that has dropped a point!

Yes, I've noticed that, and it only shows how difficult were our first 5 fixtures in reality, playing teams on form.

[him_15]

Today is the first time we play a team that has dropped a point!

Just WOW!

[kavah]

Just WOW!

Right! played the top three already, and some decent mid-table sides in Chelsea and Arsenal 

[Ghost Town]

Right! played the top three already, and some decent mid-table sides in Chelsea and Arsenal 

Yep, once we start playing the dross, like City and Utd we'll be cruising

Apologies for the repeat post, but think it is worth it...


Don't spend £15 for the Liverpool vs Sheffield Utd games on PPV / Box Office - or any other Liverpool matches they are looking to make considerable money from... #BoycottPPV

Boycott the PPV / Box Office matches. They'll never stop trying to find ways to extort more money from fans - even for matches being played in empty stadiums, during a deadly global pandemic, and after a worldwide recession. Job security concerns, money worries, and rising living cost issues for the masses - yet the greedy and rich still want even more!

Other Reds will also be putting up their usual and quality stream links, closer to kick off, in the above linked thread too

[Welshred]

Added to that Spion Kop are saying 28k has been donated already. Newcastle raised 60k last week so let's beat them!

Up to 31k now. Let's keep it going.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

I'll make a donation to that organisation too, I volunteer at a food bank, and I'm so glad people are using their money ethically here, rather than lining the pockets of Murdoch and the Premier league.

I think we should post the streams in here as a fuck you to ppv
