Game like this, I wish we had an alehouse, carthorse, thug XI we could wheel in

But he wasn't going anywhere near Virgil. He was targeting Joe  AND Joe handled him.  Joe was man of the match.  :D

Matip is quite injury prone, so its hardly surprising if he is injured.

Bobby has also been picking up more knocks the older he has got. His availability worries me considering we will have to rely on him for 2-3 months.

Squad lists from local papers are usually always wrong (MEN being the source) so we'll see what comes out later

That’s fair. It just seems like players keep coming back, then get reinjured almost immediately. If Bobby is actually out, we need to bring in someone. We can’t rush back Jota and Diaz.

I refuse to believe it whilst accepting it sounds entirely plausible.

What would that mean…Phillips v Haaland? And probably Darwin up top with someone like Ox or Carvalho playing off the left

Can everyone refrain from losing their minds until the official line-up and squad list is announced.

For all we know, there might be a few more who are unavailable in the next few hours too.

Bobby being out isn't the worst, Doak on the left, with Darwin and Salah in their favourite positions doesn't sound bad at all.  But Matip missing would be... not good.

We cant afford an injury to a single forward at the moment. At least we have defenders to come back pretty soon. Forward we have nobody.

They're not in the squad to be fair. Nor Bobby.

Why is Henderson in the squad but Trent isn't?

We don't know the squad yet though, I don't think I've ever seen one of these "squad lists" in a local or national paper ever be correct (and the MEN is all everyone is quoting). Maybe tonight is the night but I wouldn't take it as gospel just yet, other leaks have Matip and Milner starting and no Bobby so we'll see.

Ah - the Twitter account that posted it with ‘as per @LFC’ at the end must be mistaken. I can’t see anything official. The joys of Twitter I guess.

I'd understand the likes of Van Dijk and Henderson missing, but the likes of Trent and Fabinho should be starting, surely.

Hope these injury rumours are bollocks too. If Bobby has something we might not be too far from Ben Doak being #unleashed
