We’re winning this, lads. All this talk of bottling is pissing me off. Amazing how people saying we’re bottling it when we were 5 points behind City at one point. Perception. I have faith in the team. I pray that Trent is back in the team. I want Gini Keita fab midfield.
The injuries have ****ed us up but it also goes to show how thin our squad still is. We have very little choice on the bench to use as subs. At this crucial stage we can't afford to have passengers who can't cut it and try out inexperienced players. We have to be ruthless in our selection now as we're out of all major cup competitions barring CL
It just goes to show that you shouldn't give footballers a rest - it makes them go soft and complacent. They should be soundly beaten every day, not given holidays in the sun.
Confirmed XI: Alisson Milner - Matip - VVD - Robbo Wijnaldum - Fabinho - Keita Salah - Firmino - Mane Subs: Migs Hendo Studge Lallana TAA Camacho Origi
Shame TAA is not playing as that will have freed Milner to move into midfield too. Reinforcing both defence and midfield.
Hopefully we'll be in their half majority of the time so we can use Milner offensive abilities more than his defensive failures.
Odd decision to have two RB's on the bench. Can Camacho play CB? Would have preferred to start with TAA and as he tires due to lack of playing time recently then bring Milner or Camacho on as RB. Having said that Klopp has a lot more experience as a football manager than I do
