Klavan needs a game, so does Lallana and Henderson. Woodburn should be playing also, with Solanke starting. Is Clyne fit, then he plays also.
Mignolet needs to stay sharp. We have a deep squad, need to use it.

Toby, the Alberto Moreno of the Liverpool Superthread, you never know what he'll do next...

Haven't had so many ham sambo's since primary school.

Porto V Sporting on Free sports tonight

It's well known that you have to build a relationship and understanding between GK & CB.

How many times did we see Mignolet come for a cross that he had no right mind in coming for, only to balls it up and concede. A cross that could have been dealt with by a defender. Or similarly how many times did he not come for a cross that he should have and allow a free header.

This does not happen now with Karius and VVD because of an effective communicator and relationship between the 2 who knows who comes when..

All of the too GKs and CBs over the past 20 years have talked about having a good relationship and understanding with their defence.

We look more solid defending corners and crosses now simply because VVD is a monster in the air.

They're almost as good as West Brom, they're that good.

I can't believe they aren't the 3pm game tomorrow on sky. Terrible oversight.

I see Newcastle fans want Liverpool to refund them if they are unable to make the game tomorrow if it goes ahead

Shouldn't be a problem, city probably had more fans at the Emirates last night(slight exaggeration) than Arsenal.

Will they refund Liverpool fans travelling from Ireland/elsewhere? :cool:

Yea it would be nice, but I say Newcastle should be looking after their fans not their fans saying Liverpool should be looking after them.

Absolutely. Why the hell would we refund other fans. Ashley has plenty of cash. Not that he likes to spend it..

Lots of Arsenal fans stayed at home too.

In fairness, not watching Arsenal these days is definitely a case of "avoiding unnecessary journeys".

I'll be one of them. Knock opening tomorrow so it looks good for getting out at least. Apparently not huge snowfall in Liverpool.

Agent Coulson

Gini Wijnaldum and Ben Woodburn have been struggling with sickness, and attempted to describe the pair as suffering from "diarrhoea".

"It's not allowed to say in public? You don't say because you then imagine...? How can I learn the language when I can't say the word? What do you say then?

"They have the runs! Thank you very much."

Diego Cavalieri signed for Palace for rest of season

Worst player to ever hold the No. 1 jersey at Liverpool ??

Harry Palmr

Diego Cavalieri - he ever actually start a league game?

I'm struck by the incidence of illness of professional sportsmen. Esp when it's flu - get the jab!

Under Klopp, we've always been good going forward but weak at the back.

I thought soft number 2s were a thing of the past with Gomez and TAA in form. Clearly not.

Porto just lost thier top scorer to injury, looked quite bad - hamstring possibly.

Turtyturd

Did it happen in the first 3 minutes?

Asking for West Brom comparison purposes obviously.

It’s just temporary...other one wasn’t showing but don’t know if that was just down to general site issues.

I was supposed to be going with the family for the game today and staying till Monday
The flight was Dub-Man at 12.15pm, with no trains or buses going until after 11 I cant get there. We got it very bad in Waterford and the car ain't moving too.

Some dose trying to contact Ae Lingus as at present the flight is due to go ahead, so I guess unless the flight is cancelled no hope of refund

Anyone else supposed to go to the game today ?

Agent Coulson

The club has made €47.9m so far from the CL.

Its a pity there isn't a goal premium, Liverpool would have reached 100m already ! Actually that sounds like a good idea.

garra

James Lawton not loving Brendan Rodgers chances of managing Arsenal any time soon. Not sexy enough for the cosmopolitan Lawton, he's plumping for the Monaco coach instead. Why the Monaco boss would want to leave one club which offloads its best players to its rivals, for another club which does exactly the same thing in London and is under serious pressure to gain CL qualification over the medium term is not fully explained by the gregarious Little Englander.

I for one would welcome back to the EPL our former fast talking, Brentish charmer with the ultra-brite grill lighting up his perma-tanned noggin. Whatever else you say about him, the football is entertaining anyway.

He'll be back in the Prem soon enough I'd say though as a pretty fluent Spanish speaker he might fancy his chances in la Liga with a decent side.

HandsomeBob

For his own sake I hope he steers clear of Arsenal. I can see a Rafa at Chelsea type situation developing with fans having a chip on their shoulder towards him.

5starpool

Rodgers wouldn't be a success at arsenal imo.

budgemook

For anyone who had travel cancelled today - Ryanair emailed me a link to request a refund for the flight over and the flight back and I have no reason to think I won't be getting the whole lot, inclusive taxes and charges. Fairly happy with that, only down the price of the match ticket.

Not sure about AerLingus.

I wonder how anfield will be today. I remember a very empty ground when the Icelandic volcano caused havoc and I believe we lost or drew although we were crap then and obviously the volcano affected a lot more flights than are affected now.

redzerdrog

I hope Rogers goes to Arsenal, the less challengers for top 4 the better

The breakdown is interesting, the TV pool money difference between Chelsea and Liverpool is massive as its split by how you finished in the league - 1st gets 40% (41m so far) of the PL pot 4th gets 10% (20m so far), finishing 2nd this year would mean 30% of the total next season. Presumably if Chelsea go out against Barca then that 40% is proportionally split between the rest.

Potential Underachiever

Or maybe even a Rodgers at Liverpool type situation, chips ahoy!
