Bit of a change from the ask FSG speel he was saying two weeks ago. And, be under no illusion, Phil will be sold within 12 months.

People said he was 100% gone this summer also .......

Probably the only change in the squad will be AOC for Grujic.

It's a bit of a pity for Grujic because he's looked sharp any time I've seen him this season and in pre-season.
It's a good time for him now though. You'd imagine he'll at least get 30 against Leicester in the LC.
Maybe he'll start altogether.
I'm not sure about it as a unit, but in terms of getting players games, a midfield 3 of Milner, AOC and Grujic would give those who've yet to feature much a chance to start.

Mane's been named Premier League player of the month, deservedly so.



First time since March 2014 we've had a Liverpool player win the award.

Harry Palmr

It's as if we didn't already know

Ryan Kent on his loan move

“Liverpool wanted me to stay and see the season out, but it was me who wanted to get game time. The boss suggested Freiburg would be a good move, because they have a good manager and mentioned that a lot of young players have come through the system there and go onto bigger things.

Looks like he isn't leaning, the room is

Fair play to Mane, he's had a great start to the season. I think Salah has been equally impressive, was he nominated?

Komlany out tomorrow for city

He was nominated yeah. He also won Liverpool's player and goal of the month, because it's a public vote and the entirety of Egypt is obsessed with him.

Yeah, I heard on one of the footie pods that he has twice as many Twitter followers as Everton.
It was also why Roma posted about him winning it every month.

Indeed.

If people keep saying it they're bound to be right eventually imo.

One_Of_Shanks

It's the right call on Coutinho, glad he was left out. Aside from anything else he can't be up to speed and also he should have to earn his way back in gradually.

The Can contract (inevitable Juve free transfer imo) thing is a sickener. Himself and Wij and Keita would have been a lovely blend next season. Henderson to factor in as well but that trio would have ticked a lot of boxes for me.

Anyway.... Should be a belter tomorrow. Kompany out is good news and we can score goals tomorrow, sure City are saying the same.
Could be a cracker....

It's clearly a subliminal message to VvD - you too can be free.

“The lowest point came at the start of last season when I was not playing,” says Moreno.

“I was training hard and well, and then the manager decided James Milner would be left-back. I was not happy. I was not featuring, my head was not in the right place and I did not feel good. This impacts on your family as well. They were unhappy too. We were all feeling down. Oh look a Squirrel!'' '
After chasing a Squirrel with a stick for 40 mins he went on to say.

“But in life and in football I am a fighter. I never give up and when you are down you have to use that motivation to work harder. I found strength from my family, my partner Lilia and my daughter Carla, who was born this time last year. Just looking at her face was my motivation. It lifted me.

“Yes, it is tough, but you only know how you will react when you face the situation of not playing.

Tino Wormer also scored a cracker. Should try to try him down when Sturridge goes to West Ham for 40m next summer (as he surely will)

Timo werner also scored a cracker. Would love to see the club try sign him next summer. The next german superstar in my opinion

I find myself watching a bit of German football lately and i have'nt done that for years, anyway i think Keita is going to be a massive signing for us, he just has everything you'd want in a midfielder.

I'd love to see us making a massive offer to Can, put in a release clause if it means getting it over the line, a midfield three of Can, Gini, Keita with our front three would win us the league IMO.

Think it was you who said it, "Gwan Toby lob another fire-cracker into the hen house".

I fcukin broke my arse laughing at that. That's what he does. This thread would suck without Toby.

Klaven starts ahead of Lovren. Crikey.

One_Of_Shanks

Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Klavan, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino.

Yeah Klavan and Moreno would both worry me.

Im sure klavan started the home game last year against city so at least he has some experiance in a game like this.

Cant make heads nor tails of citys line-up though.

If we boss the midfield i think we will win today

NukaCola

At least its Matip with Klavan........I'd be a bit worried on the left in terms of defence for us.......

dogbert27

Was half expecting Klavan for Lovren. Lovren had to play 2 games in 48 hours for Croatia.

Klopp is going rotation nuts this year. Benitez would be proud.

Osmosis Jones

No confidence in our backline but City's looks just as weak.

Extra games, so the sensible thing to do if it is not impacting the performance.

Aye. I'm not against it at all. Also makes sense when we've a lot of players at similar levels, such as at fullback and even midfield.

Be even better when Lallana is back and Coutinho is up and running.

The only concern is that Mane/Salah/Firmino are automatic picks. Sturridge can come in for Firmino possibly, but we're not as rotation ready for Mane/Salah as we'd like probably. I'd imagine Burnley next Saturday will see some rotation there anyhow, with Coutinho, Sturridge coming in anyhow, probably Chamberlain as well. Not terrible subs in fairness.

Yeah it's decent. But how often will Klopp have to sit down and make a decision between them all given their injury records.

Osmosis Jones

Match thread nothing but the neutrals talking shít about both teams.

NukaCola

Better there than here tbh....leave them at it.....

NukaCola

Klavan is piss poor.....

NukaCola

Game ruined

Osmosis Jones

That better be rescinded

Pyjamarama

Ah I think its a red. Killer and obv he didn't mean to hurt him but it was reckless and dangerous.

Buford T. Justice XIX

Match over. I'm off. Poor decision by the ref, foot was high but warranted a yellow not a red.

Tipsy McSwagger

How anyone can post in the match thread is beyond me, full of absolute bellends.
