would be a great signing.

Strong enough team.

Minamino in midfield, looks like. Is Clarkson a defensive mid? The only one playing by the looks of it.

This is a 5 to 6 kick off ,

Agent Coulson

Bobby on the bench I thought someone said he was injured ?

Fitz*

Trent captains the side for the first time.

Proud night for him no doubt.

Great training opportunity.

Ye I did I read it on empire of the kop this morning ,
Must have just been a knock

Electric Nitwit

Don't see the point of that team and bench. Ideal opportunity for the first teamers to stick their feet up at home, they shouldn't have all travelled

Good opportunity for fringe players too, given the league cup has gone. Some might even have staked a claim for the FA Cup

AndyBoBandy

Keita to be injured tonight, and be out for a few weeks..

Fabhino and Salah are the only two I wouldn't have started,
Trent & Naby need game time and Jota is still behind the front 3

pm1977x

Actively trying to break Fabinho now, ridiculous keeping him in.

Yeah but Wijnaldum, Bobby, Mané, Henderson, Robbo and Matip shouldn't have even gone to the airport

I'm sure he & Matip or Billy K will only be getting 45 each

KevRossi

Fabinho, Salah and Jota shouldn't be playing.

Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson and Mane should have stayed in Liverpool and rested. At least that way there's less chance of them catching COVID.

Morzadec

I basically never question Klopp - my position is almost always that he knows better for the club.

But can't get my head around this golden opportunity to rest key players with top spot shored up, ahead of a very busy week and then busy Christmas schedule?

I'm wondering is there some unwritten rule where we must play X amount of first teamers in a CL match? Maybe even in one of our sponsorship deals?

Because it makes no sense to me at all.

That's probably fair enough yeah. But would agree with the many saying that the likes of Robbo and Hendo should have been left at home, and Fabinho starting boggles my mind, he's maybe our most important player right now, an injury there would be disastorous.

gimli2112

Just watching the Chelsea highlights from last night and Tammy Abraham's penalty is as bad as Greenwood's.Another hoppy peno too. I'm starting to think our players are just too honest.
There really is a certain nobility about Liverpool.

I would have given him the day off and told him to limit his walking around the house!

Fitz*

It's probably for a number of reasons.

To get rhythm into some players.
To get partnerships built up - ie the TAA - Keita - Salah axis for the right wing with a view to starting all 3 against Spurs today week instead of at the weekend.
To build up fitness levels.
So that there are some senior players on the field and doesn't just dump a load of kids into a CL game together where things could go wrong easily where they get overawed.

There's 3 million reasons why some senior players are involved tonight.

After that match last night, are some of them still going to pretend AWB is as good as TAA?

Salah 1-0.

Fromvert

Ok time for the five subs Klopp, get them all off!

dogbert27

Wahey!

Vicxas

Great start

Osmosis Jones

Another great right-footed goal for Salah

Fitz*

Goal of the season

If the Puskas was a fan vote for any goal the Egyptians would pull it off

Great ball by Clarkson there

8 mins in and hes already looking very impressive few lovely touches

Minamino in midfield. I wonder is that his long term role or just for this game?

I'm glad this is the only 5.55pm kickoff we've had. It's not a civilised time to be watching Champions League.

Osmosis Jones

Pretty sure Salah was onside there tbh

DVDM93

For anyone who may have missed it.

Is this Trent's first time as captain of the first team?

Think every group has to have one game at this time, just not sure why since there is no eastern European teams in the group so could have avoided it really.

dogbert27

That would have been a class goal

Agent Coulson

Watching Keita play football is a thing of beauty.

He needs to take up yoga to help with the injuries.

dogbert27

What a clearance by Fabinho!

Another goal line clearance!!

Agent Coulson

Fab is just to fcuking good at football.

cj maxx

Was Kelleher hiding behind the net in case that header hit him ?

Muahahaha

Its not but at least the players might get home before 1am

marklazarcovic

Divock is our worst player,we have moved on so much since he joined,he's not unfortunately..looks shattered already too.

Agent Coulson

Minamino was better than Bobby a few months ago when he never played and the calls were being made for him to replace Bobby.

I think we can see why he is just a solid cup squad player now and not better than Bobby.


Saying that I think if he got a regular run of games even 20 minutes every game he would start to harden up to this level of football.
