[PL] LFC v The Peoples Club - Wed 8pm KO

[SB]

The timing is pretty good for us in this derby.

Everton are out of form and are dropping down the table and we're in form (that silly collapse against Southampton aside), playing well and scoring goals freely for almost the first time all season.

They also haven't won at Anfield in donkey's years.

Pretty confident for this one

Now that you've pointed all that out we'll probably go & loose now. and it'll be all your fault.

[The Birdman]

The best thing about us now is that injuries permitting the only ones we know are guaranteed to start are
Mingolet
Clyne
Moreno
Lovren
Sakho
Coutinho
Milner

That's it, all the other places in the team will be dependent on the system and tactics Klopp employs.

Choice of the other 4 between Allen, Stewart, Lucas Firmino, Lallana, Sturridge, Origi that's without considering Flanno, Ibe or Ojo.

Not sure any of us would moan at whatever team he picks either.

Melwood fitness latest ahead of Merseyside derby: Origi fit to face Everton

Jürgen Klopp today confirmed Divock Origi will be fit for Liverpool's Merseyside derby clash with Everton on Wednesday, despite picking up a back injury against Bournemouth at the weekend.

The striker was introduced as a 75th minute substitute for Roberto Firmino at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, but reported an issue following the conclusion of the Reds’ 2-1 win.

As a result, Origi was left out of training on Monday as a precautionary measure, but resumed normal preparations today.

Elsewhere, within the defensive ranks, the problem Kolo Toure sustained against Bournemouth has been confirmed as cramp, but Martin Skrtel has a groin injury.

“In the game against Bournemouth, I think - and what I have heard so far is - it was cramp with Kolo," Klopp told journalists at Melwood.

“Divock was only a little bit [of a problem] with the back – maybe from sitting on the bench! It was not a real issue.

“He felt it a little bit in the game and so we left him out of training yesterday but that was only not to take a risk. So that is OK.

“Before the [Bournemouth] game, Martin Skrtel had a little groin problem but with all the other things [players], there’s nothing new.”

Mingolet
Clyne Lovren Sakho Moreno
Allen Lucas Milner
Coutinho Lallana
Origi

We are missing several players and yet I'm finding it difficult to fit everyone in, I want Sturridge and Firmino to start as well. Maybe for Lallana and Allen? Lucas needs the minutes for the Europa League games.

That Gerrard two footer on 24 seconds really is a terrible attempt at a tackle. Nasty.

Nah.....well timed textbook tackle

[kubrickscube]

Win the ball and its a full blooded honest and competitive tackle, but you can see his heads gone and he just wants to hurt someone before they hurt him.

[SB]

Haven't seen much of that for a few seasons now though & I don't expect too much of it tomorrow either. Milner & Sakho are our only hot heads really but both teams have bigger fish to try & won't risk suspensions I think.

[ChesterDave]

Looked a poor tackle and didn't even look the worst in the montage

Moreno is far worse than Milner and put Flanno on you'd be sure to see some full blooded tackles.

[danperkins]

We have no nasty players anymore, you do need that in your team IMO. I think Milner is just a bit clumsy, Moreno just a brainless but Flanno does like a tackle alright.

[Fosterbloke]

I reckon Lovren and Sakho can get a bit nasty towards the opposition.
