[PL] Newcastle (H): Build Up

[frank the tank]

I'd sooner see Newcastle stay up and Sunderland go down, if only because of the managers.

I was thinking the same thing. If Klopp puts out a team of young fellas and Newcastle come away with 3 points, then I can see Fat Sam going ****in' mental........after all the ****e he created for Slur Alex that year, it would be great to see Rafa relegate the fat cunt with some help from LFC (or perceived help)

Jurgen Klopp says defender Kolo Toure does have a future at Liverpool.

He says: "He is part of my future plans but it depends what the future is for you. A big part of Kolo's future is at Liverpool."

He also reveals that striker Christian Benteke "feels good" but has not returned to training yet.


Jurgen Klopp encourages the Liverpool fans to give former Reds boss Rafael Benitez a warm reception.

"If anyone wants to celebrate Istanbul when seeing Rafa Benitez, you're more than welcome," he says. "That's how I'd welcome an old friend."


Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is ready to face the media. First question: how is striker Divock Origi, who was stretchered off in the Merseyside derby?

"It is serious but we should not say his season is over," Klopp says, but he concedes that it would be a risk to play him again in the closing weeks of the campaign.

and Neil Warnock will write a letter to the PL and FA!

I think we'll see a strong team and rotate on the Sunday after each leg. The first leg is 6 days away. No need to go weak.

[RedReet]

Well of it is a strong team, I hope it's leaked before the FF deadline tomorrow as I need to get rid of my players otherwise.

[G]

Yeah it's a pain in the arse. I've two and would like another for the double game week but I'm full sure tomorrow is the last league game the strongest 11 will play until the Chelsea game.

This team was posted on LFc Tv forum, make of it what you will...

Ward

Flanno Skrtel. Toure. Smith

Stewart Branagan Milner

Ojo Firmino Ibe

Bench: Moreno,Randall,Tex,Ilori,Sinclair,Mignolet,Kent

[Chazza]

Trying to keep Newcastle up.

[Chris]

Christ, hope we dont regret that, especially if Stoke somehow fluke a result earlier in the day aswell.

I can understand why though and most of those players would still walk in to their team but still!

[G]

I'd be surprised if we went that way after the way Klopp was talking today. We'll see. Hope not, we can still do well in the league. There's 8 games left hopefully, imo we only need to rotate for two of those league games, that's all.

The starting 11 could be that (little different to what I posted higher up after all!) but the bench will contain plenty of heavy hitters.

[Attilladahun]

Ward

Flannagan Toure Lucas Smith


Stewart Brannagan Milner


Ibe Firmino Ojo



Subs; Mignolet, Randall, Skirtel, Texira, Clyne, Kent, Sinclair

[Fosterbloke]

I think that team could work. Ojo and Ibe will full of confidence from their last match.

Each bank has at least one experienced player (Firmino, Milner, Toure and Lucas) to guide the younger players. I like that.

The starting 11 could be that (little different to what I posted higher up after all!) but the bench will contain plenty of heavy hitters.

I was thinking something similar I wouldn't br surprised if that was the team, but if we play a team like that I'd expect a stronger bench

Just realised this game is on at 3 PM - how queer!
