There are no questions about this game going ahead, is there?

Not that I've seen. Lazio had to play Bruges in Belgium earlier in the season, despite having nine first teamers out due to Covid Protocols.

I wouldn't have thought so. Players test positive every week. Only when we have seen a team with half a dozen staff or players test positive has postponement been discussed.

Sorry I wasn't trying to spark rumours that there was, I just think its got the potential to cause all kinds of problems with a player testing positive so close to a game.
Surprised there have not been issues from similar occurrences before, I guess it really doesn't pass easily outside and with the limited contact in a game.

The game is going ahead, but with additional precautions.

DangerScouse · « **Reply #204 on:** April 6, 2021, 05:54:21 pm »

Gnabry has tested positive too meaning he's out for Bayern.

Are we there yet? Can't wait to see the team sheet and what Jurgen has in store for us. C'mon you Reds!

Is it 75 mins before KO for team news in the CL?

Serge Ramos likes limited contact

Naby lad

Naby - your time has come

ApfelStudel · « **Reply #218 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:42:17 pm »

Its interesting that Klopp went with Keita over Thiago - i think Keita might be better at pressing, so I am assuming the idea is to not give the RM midfield any time to breathe. So excited about this game.

StevoHimself · « **Reply #219 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:42:19 pm »

Massive oppurtinity for Keita. Think Jota had to start really.

didi shamone · « **Reply #220 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:42:21 pm »

Naby for Thiago. Slight curve ball.

peachybum · « **Reply #221 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:43:31 pm »

Jota instead of Firmino suggests we'll sit back and play on the break so no need for Firmino's counter pressing.

Boaty McBoatface · « **Reply #222 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:44:13 pm »

Naby over Thiago is the only surprise for me.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #223 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:44:23 pm »

Leaving Thiago out is... interesting. I bet he's disappointed.

Massive curve ball! Really didn’t see that coming. Pleased for Naby though. Not seen nearly enough of him this season.

classycarra · « **Reply #225 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:44:42 pm »

Jota starting with it being away seemed nailed on. Delighted Keita starts, looks like we were playing games a bit by not introducing him against Arsenal.

Am sure Thiago will be on relatively early second half, and on a mission. Fingers crossed we've worn them out a bit by then!

Tony19:6 · « **Reply #226 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:44:58 pm »

Surprised no Thiago, thought it was made for him - good to see Naby Lad tho.

Harvey Davies on the bench.

Big, big moment for Naby. Time to show his class.

We going full on gegen here aren't we

MJD-L4 · « **Reply #230 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:46:31 pm »

Naby's caught me off guard there! Hopefully he can be at his best.

Chuffed to see Jota starting

Nick110581 · « **Reply #231 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:46:39 pm »

Naby is an interesting choice

aw1991 · « **Reply #232 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:47:55 pm »

Jota definitely did enough to get a start, but surprised to see Naby over Thiago. Very interesting but cool lineup, looking forward to it.

JRed · « **Reply #233 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:48:10 pm »

I actually can’t believe Thiago is not playing? Hopefully it’s one of Klopp’s masterstrokes. Very surprising tho.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #234 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:48:17 pm »

The presser doesn't lie, Jota starting not a surprise

Klopp mentioned how Keita has been tremendous in training in his post match interviews against Arsenal, just surprised it's for Thiago. In any case, great line up.

David Struhme · « **Reply #235 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:48:19 pm »

jizzspunk · « **Reply #236 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:48:33 pm »

Thought Thiago would be on the bench but expected Firmino to play in front of Gini and Fab as the first press
Let's go Naby

bornandbRED · « **Reply #237 on:** April 6, 2021, 06:50:06 pm »

Surprised at Thiago on the bench. Keita Gini Flaco gives us great intensity in the middle though.
