For me,this is the most meaningless derby in my lifetime,all things considered, I know the potential pitfalls of loosing n stuff, regarding Chelsea catching us for top 4 ..

But it's all about Tuesday isn't it,to not go through now would be so demoralizing I feel.

Dirk Kuyt has come out of retirement until the end of the season to help his old team, amateur outfit Quick Boys.

Think we could get him to play for us tomorrow instead?

Youd swear that that is a sh1t midfield. There is loads of energy there. We just need to wrap them in cotton wool until Tuesday. Loads of energy in that midfield. Wjini for Hendo is the only change from the first leg. Milner was immense on Wednesday and Ox driving forward really linked our midfield and forward line. Wjini hasnt been great lately but he has the ability to get forward also. I wouldnt be worried if they started for us at all.

But Hendo and a few young lads are what is needed tomorrow. Couldnt give a toss about Sam. Let him be smug, we want to go to the CL semi final.

I wasn't giving out about that midfield, just worried that we're looking a bit thin if we have to turn to the bench on Tuesday night. I agree, those 3 players should be rested this weekend.

Hope whatever we put out tomorrow can beat Everton, but I'm already in a knot of anxiety looking forward to the 2nd leg.

Looks like Ings will get the nod tomorrow from Klopp’s press conference.

Hopefully he puts in a good showing, we haven’t really had someone to swap in for Firmino since Origi left.

Hope he proves me wrong tomorrow but he's the first player I'd look to replace in the summer. Poor guy had a terrible run of injuries but he's been no use to us really. I wasn't his biggest fan when he signed but could recognise the potential to improve.......now though I'd be surprised if he can get back to a decent level. Maybe I'm too harsh but I dont see a future for him at LFC.

It’s a tough one.

Our front 3 are really good so we’re not going to get a replacement even close to their level who will be happy to sit on the bench most of the time and maybe get 15-20 minutes most weeks, and the odd league start. If we can get someone in during the summer who is and is better than the current options then obviously he should be upgraded on.

Of the options we have now I think Origi has shown (in patches) that he could be a good back up player but think he’ll drop down to somewhere where he’s playing every week.

Sturridge is finished at the club, and maybe football in general. His laziness won’t cut it with Klopp and he has been sh!t for a few years at this stage.

Ings has been injured for so long that he’s kind of an unknown quantity. Like you I wasn’t a big fan of his signing but he has that tenacity that Klopp likes and I’d be hopeful that Klopp could improve him like he’s done with several other players in the team.

Would still like to get a point at least tomorrow anyway. Would mean that if Chelsea win the gap will still be 8 points. Chelsea would still have to make up 3 wins on us given our much better goal difference. They do have a game in hand though so if they win that and even beat us in the second last game of the season, they still have to make up another 3 points from somewhere.

Lads I have 2 tickets for Man City v Liverpool 2nd leg on Tuesday but a series of unfortunate events mean I cannot attend .

I'd hate for them to go to waste. If anyone is interested PM me. Face value only.

Gafferino was looking for a few recently iirc

Iused2likebusts

I was probably ings biggest supporter when he was signed as I'd also have a keen interest in Burnley. He was the ideal signing at the time as a bench option, fill in for easier games in the league and play some cup games. Very unfortunate with the injuries and its impossible to say if he is now the type of player he was before the injury. He was a much better player before the injury then people were giving him credit for. Trippier before he went to spurs was another signing I was hoping for . He was available for 4 million.

Ye a draw would be great it means we could lose to Chelsea and still afford another draw in our 4 remaining games bournemouth,Brighton,stoke all at home and wba away.

No grujic for Cardiff, not even on the bench.

I'll still watch it though, now that it's on.

Seems an odd one alright.

Connor Coady is by all accounts having a great season at centre half for wolves, I wonder how he will (assumably) fare in the Premier league.

I wouldn't think so, it was mentioned earlier by the club journalist, James Pearce I think.. that he wouldn't be recalled. Then Toby said he could.

Toby or James Pearce, who to believe :pac:

Oh those Man City fans can now come down off their high horses about attacking buses :pac::eek:

Toby said he "recalled" who Grujic was not that he will be recalled.

lol.

Clowns at every club.

Harry Palmr

A few big names missing from the U23s squad - looks like Grabara, Camacho, Masterson and Jones could be on the bench.

Probably Liverpool fans dressed up as City fans there.

Charlie19

Two penalties missed in two minutes at the end😀 Coady can find himself lucky to get away with his push.

Neil warnock telling the wolves manager to **** off on TV aswell, championship throws up some mad stuff at times.

We desperately need better back up players for the front three positions. Hard to see us scoring if Salah, Firmino and Mane are rested.

Solanke
Games: 21
Goals: 0

Ings:

Solanke 527 minutes this season for Liverpool.


Ings total since joining Liverpool 705 minutes.

So Solanke has played less than 6 games and Ings less than 8?

Turtyturd

That’s nearly the much lauded 1 in 2 for Ings imo.

RugbyLover123

Willing to give both in particular Ings, the benefit of the doubt. He hasn't a fair crack at it with injuries and to be fair to him has looked decent enough when called upon in the last few months, gets himself in good positions.
I personally think he's a useful bench option, think he should be trusted more in some league games to give Bobby a rest. But then again Klopp sees him everyday so must not be too impressed. I'll be surprised if he's around next season, Klopp has had chances to start and play him more and hasn't e.g. Porto at home was the perfect game for him to get a start under him, but I think he only ended up with with around 15 mins.

ERG89

It'd be hard to find backups to our front 3 but Ings & Solanke is too steep of a drop in quality compared to our starters.

These are rubbish stats to judge them on as we all know how much they have both been used as subs.

Tomorrow is against Everton not Barcelona. Let them have their chance.

Danny Ings is a fine player who has been unlucky.

We have to prioritise Tuesday. It's much more important than tomorrow which we can actually afford to lose

The hubris from this poster 'not yet' is something to behold.

The tie is 'not yet' over and even if Liverpool get through there's at least 3 other teams that are better than Liverpool left in the competition. So Liverpool won't be winning the CL this season either.

City are better than us. Meant fcuk all when we scoring the goals against them though.

Also, I like the 'at least 3 other teams better than us' bit. How could there be more than 3?

And most of those minutes have been a few here and a few there.
I flagged a number of weeks ago that I found it strange in some of the games (Watford was one, there were others too) where we were way ahead, and left it late to make a substitution. These were opportunities to get say 35 minutes or something into ings or solanke when the team were going well, instead of on for the last 5 or 6 minutes when the rest of the team are winding down. We were always going to need these guys before the season was out.
Not a criticism as such of klopp, but the planning could have been better.

Agent Coulson

As hoped.

Karius, Clyne, Van Dijk, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mané, Ings, Solanke.

Klavan at left back in a 4 I reckon.

murpho999

Sensible team from Klopp and still strong at the back.

No need to fear Everton.

Would love to see some goals from Ings and Solanke, would be a great boost for them.

Turtyturd

As expected.

No injuries, no players deciding to throw themselves into the fans, and no false accusations and it’ll be good.
