FK Rubin Kazan (H) Build up

[SB]

So we've only got 2 points from our 1st 2 matches & we really need all 3 points here. I imagine Klopp will want to put a strong side out but he'll also have an eye on our next Prem fixture so who will play & who will he rest?

I think Coutinho will be rested as he didn't look very effective last night. Texiera to replace him or Firmino if he's fit.

Kolo in for Skrtel or do we leave the back 4 unchanged to get used to Klopp's tactics?

Rest Milner but who replaces hiM. Allen?

Origi up front & play Sturridge on Sunday?

Ibe should play but who for?

[DannyMan2006]

Annoyingly, Tex isn't registered to play.

[DannyMan2006]

I think we have a few things to consider. Do we play the first XI so they can get used to the tactics together? Or would it be better suited that many rested and learned things on the training field?

Would the players be fit enough to play Saturday, Thursday, Sunday and then keep that up? I think some will have to soldier on as we don't have enough cover. Maybe we will have to alternate which players we rest and see how we go. Sakho in particular tends to pick up knocks if we over play him.

[Gibbo]

I think we will go quite strong mainly to give the lads more match practice under Klopp.

[Fosterbloke]

Play the second team.

[Chris]

Full team and **** them. Get Klopp his first win and first home win out of the way, plus we do actually really need the points here. We are a legit threat to win this comp if we get motoring in the second half of the season so lets not **** up the group stage!

[danperkins]

Good strong line up, build that system and communication that Klopp wants. Great support/feel good factor for his home game, a good win & the team that bit more educated to the way Klopp wants to play.

[badpiggy]

I'm hoping for a full on CL style atmosphere and performance. Klopp's a winner. He'll want to win the EL.

[redmike65]

Hard to see him playing a best 11 for this one not with Soton at home on Sunday. Have to hope Sturridge, Benteke, Firmino and er Lovren are ready.

A Negative for a Negative

[I, Ravel Morrison]

We passed the first test which is to display a much-improved team performance against a well-organised Spurs. The next test is to get some goals on board and secure a win, preferably in this match against an easier opponent. For that reason I think Klopp will send out a strong side.

[Exiled_red]

Physio room have Lovren possibly back for this and Firmino and Benteke possible available for Southampton, no info on Sturridge. Assuming they are all out, aside from the starting 11 from yesterday there is only really Bogdan, Toure, Allen, Ibe Chirivella and Brannagan who could come in. Based on that I would assume basically the same side with possibly one or two changes.

Yeah, probably three changes max, Allen and Ibe in for two from Lucas, Milner and Lallana, and Sturridge (if fit) for Origi. Can't see Klopp changing the defense unless enforced by injury and suspension.

Yeah some minor changes maybe, hopefully doesn't change the defence anyways. The communication he was talking about won't come unless they get time on the pitch together. Rather have them learning against weaker opposition so we are better for it vs the tougher sides in the league.

[Frenchie]

yep we have 3 home games to build confidence regardless of competition before Chelsea away....so I would rather a strong team for all 3..He can rest players later...
