And Mane definitely out for the season. Not great.

For once, i'm going to channel my inner slinky and go for a walk or some **** on Saturday. **** watching what could be another **** show.

[Chris]

Gonna be tough. If they still had Delap I reckon they'd put 8 or 9 past us.

[Buzzo]

About time we remembered how we dealt like teams like this earlier in the season, we were absolutely destroying them.

--------- Who cares
Clyne -- Matip -- Lovren -- Milner
------------ Lucas
------- Can --------- Gini
------------ Firmino
------- Origi ------ Sturridge

Both Firmino and Origi look a bit **** out wide, and not sure TAA or Woodburn are better options either

[Shaggy]

If Phil is out Sturridge starting is a must. Shoehorn him in with the others somehow. Quite like the look of the diamond.

[Rich]

I'd be tempted to move Milner higher up the pitch to try and feed Origi and Sturridge.

Something like:

Mig
Clyne - Matip - Lovren - Moreno
Can
Milner - Wijnaldum
Firmino
Origi - Sturridge

[red g]

don't like the look of any team is PHil is out as well .

This is another must win (again).
lose this and its out of our hands again.

[Fierce]

I'd be tempted to move Milner higher up the pitch to try and feed Origi and Sturridge.

I thought that too, plus the pace of Moreno likely to cause problems, but tempered by being stupid

But not sure Can is disciplined enough not to leave big holes in defence. I like him as more of a box to box than a defensively minded player

From Bender's report on Klopp's comments did anyone else chuckle when Klopp mentioned that 65 points may not be enough for CL? Personally I think 72-74 may be enough but can we get there? If we think 72 is enough then 3 wins is enough (provided we draw the rest). Otherwise 4 wins is a must.

Ergo, Stoke is the one that usually rolls over and gives us some good goal difference too at this stage. We'll need that again.

[Chris]

Dunno what we'll need, probably 5 wins. And we simply have to be above Arsenal going in to the final day as we'll be getting no favours on the last day.

I know it's hindsight but not strengthening in January seems like a ****ing disaster now.
Wonder if Klopp feels the same

Even a couple of decent loan signings would have been welcomed,es[ecially now with our injuries .....considering Klopps knowledge of German football,bit surprising we didn't bring in anybody
