Liverpool vs Stoke - Premier League (Game 36)

[S-RED]

Not sure they will let us play with 12 though?

Good point

[Buzzo]

Good point

Nobody said football management was going to be easy

[Fosterbloke]

TAA, Woodburn and Firmino.

[BigChief]

I'll be surprised if Salah doesn't start.

[Buzzo]

I'll be surprised if Salah doesn't start.

Based on the way Klopp spoke so will I.

Its **** or bust for us now really isnt it?

We need 5 points in the League from 3 games. We need to see out a dominant position in the CL semi final, then we have the best part of four weeks until the final.

The only problem is we only have 11 reliable first team players to do it

If Lallana gets his fitness back it helps, **** knows what is happening with Can and his dodgy back, but it would be nice if it cleared up.

Just adding in those two and our squad looks loads better.

[brightred]

Thank God that semi is out of the way and we can concentrate on the real deal.


****in love big games like Stoke. The atmosphere will be electric.

[labourRed]

I'd go strong (ish). It depends on the fitness levels of players obviously. Robbo might be OK, but i doubt we'll rinse TAA again, especially with Gomez and Clyne back.

Karius
Gomez, VVD, Klavan
Clyne, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Moreno
Salah, Ings, Mane

[Fuzzy]

We really need to win here, don't we? As **** as Chelsea have been this year, they just won't let go. Seeing how we've got 3 full days to prepare for Stoke, and then another full 3 days before the second leg, I think we can play our best team in both games.

That WBA game really ****ed us didn't it? And Southampton are probably still celebrating losing to Chelsea. Can't wait till they both go down.

[Chris]

Wouldn't say really need to, a draw isn't the end of the world as we'll beat a Brighton with nothing to play for on the final day and that would be that but these are dog**** so would be nice to win and hopefully wrap it up sooner. Hard to be arsed about this though.

Worth gambling everything on the CL. We have such an amazing opportunity.

Hmm, i just feel we need to protect one midfielder. It wouldn't surprise me to go stronger than i predicted, but i suspect Milner is totally ****ed after putting that effort in and if he isn't Henderson may be. One of those will surely be rested.

TAA, the same. As it does for Firmino who again looked spent on the bench. Firmino will probably be the only out and out forward in the Roma away game so I reckon he'll be rested as well.

Just need to navigate these two games and if we win them both there'll be plenty of opportunity for rest.

On reflection

Karius,
Clyne, Klav,Dejan, Gomez
salah, jones, Wij,Woodburn,
Ings, Solanke

Subs: Mig, Masterson, Firmy, TAA, Millie, Hendo, +1

Karius

a slight tweak. maybe use moreno for mane, solanke for salah for last 20 minutes.

[Fuzzy]

Woodburn at left wing-back, what is this 2014-15?

[BigChief]

Clyne can play left back. If we must put Moreno on the pitch then at least move him further forward.
