Can will miss this game.


Here are the players who didn't start last night

----------Mignolet
Clyne---Kolo---
-------Milner--Hendo
--Ibe---Coutinho---Firmino
---------Benteke--

so plenty of options for Klopp to consider.

Have to think Hendo will get a start

[fah-q]

Let's smash these no marks, would love them to go down!!

[Daffy Duck]

Gk & defence - Henderson Lucas - Firmino Lallana Coutinho - Sturridge
----------------- Henderson Lucas Allen - Lallana Coutinho - Sturridge

Then there's also Milner, Benteke, Ibe, even Origi now, Can when he returns... Options

[The_weatherman]

Mignolet
Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Milner Lucas Allen
Coutinho Firmino
Sturridge

Lallana for Coutinho if he's not fit. Or Benteke for Sturridge, in which case Ibe for Firmino. Or Origi for Firmino, or Origi for Sturridge and Benteke for Coutinho, you see where I'm going with this

[The Birdman]

Mingolet
Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Milner Lucas Allen
Firmino Coutinho
Origi

[frank the tank]

Mignolet
Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Milner Lucas Allen
Coutinho Firmino
Sturridge

Lallana for Coutinho if he's not fit. Or Benteke for Sturridge, in which case Ibe for Firmino. Or Origi for Firmino, or Origi for Sturridge and Benteke for Coutinho, you see where I'm going with this

this looks very strong down the right hand side but LFCs whole left hand side is exposed.

And Mignolet won't be able to cover the goal if he is stood behind Clyne on the corner of the pitch...

[BigChief]

It must be Christmas!! The Tree formation:

-------------Mig
--------Skrtel Lovren
-----Hendo Lucas Moreno
Firmy Sturridge Coutinho Origi
-----------Benteke

Mignolet being the obvious fairy on top. HO HO HO.

[Hemingway]

Would be a little surprised if Sturridge started this, I expect them to manage him back slowly. If he starts he'll getting 60, after doing 60 midweek. More likely comes on at the hour, I think.

I'd guess we see a 4231 with Milner-Lucas in a double-pivot, Benteke up top, the line of three pick themselves. Either that or the 4330 thing with Firmino up top and Henderson in midfield...or Allen. So many options.

[Slinky Skills]

Newcastle's players and fans are probably ****ting themselves after watching that last night!

[Bender]

Not sure if Sturridge will start,might get a 15 min appearance,other than that i think it migth be Coutinho and Firmnio along with Lallana

[Buzzo]

I reckon Henderson is primed for the starting XI in this one after his 2 runouts as sub and with Emre Can suspended.

I'd go with Pirlo personally. He's done nothing wrong in his last few outings & deserves a start again IMO.

I'd go with Pirlo personally. He's done nothing wrong in his last few outings & deserves a start again IMO.

I think we'll go with Allen from the start and bring Henderson on as sub again, perhaps he'll play a half this time.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Is it Sunday already?

After the result, performance, use of the diamond and crowd support shown against the Saints, I'm getting 13/14 vibes, i.e. football is damn enjoyable again.
