Maybe Firmino was in smokie mos?!?!??

[redmike65]

Lallana is not playing on right side in a midfield 3. He'll be the 8 and a bit ahead of Hendo and Wijnaldum.

No Firmino

[redmike65]

Clearly Chelsea have a more heavyweight bench but I look forward to Ejaria coming on at 4-0 up (Liverpool that is)

[labourRed]

Mignolet worries me the most. Reaches for wine.

[RedReet]

Ejaria.

For those of you asking/concerned about Roberto Firmino, Jurgen Klopp has told the cameras that he has a 'minor' muscle injury and was not 100%. But he should be fine next week.

[Fredo]

"Like me and Miss world" was the analogy Gary Neville used to describe Luiz and Cahill in central defence for Chelsea.

[RedReet]

90 mins build up far too long. Obviously wasn't forced to watch it, but now that I have I'm nearly ready for bed.

[RedReet]

Odd KO. Do you not need to play it into opponents half any more?
