This is it!

Back in the CL and what an opening game!

[Norbs]

I'm a bit Meh about the CL this season. I'd like us to do well but the league is where it's at

but yeh, i know what you mean

Only five games in but until its looking unlikely I think we should prioritise the league.

[Exiled_red]

It'll be interesting to see what we do here in terms of selection as we've hardly made any changes in the league so far, we're obviously going to take it seriously but I wouldn't be surprised if we made about 4 changes.

[Chris]

Get these ****ted. Groups where there's a whipping boy can be a pain in the arse as one **** up v one of the other two early on and you can be in a bit of a pickle. Bit like that Debrecen group we had that time, ****ed up early, were chasing from that moment and couldn't turn it around. Tuchel seems to have a complex v Klopp so I reckon he'll play right in to our hands.

[Liverpool]

get 4 points here and napoli away, leaves us in a great position before the red star double header.

I think we'll see 2 changes maybe here and another 3/4 for southampton.

Robertson done two internationals, dont think he can do all three for us this week, rather he sat out Southampton.

[frank the tank]

Robertson can sit out the Chelsea cup match. No matter how good our defence has been, putting Moreno in the team will **** us in the ass...

I wouldn't be too surprised to see someone like Shaqiri start against PSG though. Unleash him in a big atmosphere game. Perhaps instead of Bobby if he isn't 100% after having Vertonghens cock finger stuck into this eye.....

[Shaggy]

I reckon Fabinho might start this one.

[Buzzo]

I reckon Fabinho might start this one.

Like wise. Familiar foe for him, perfect game for his Debut.

[danperkins]

Yeah I think he's a banker to start this one. Would like to see Shaqiri get some game time too.

[Pablo]

What a brilliant match this is on paper. Depends which front 3 plays best. Could be the perfect match this for Salah to re-find his top form again.

[RedReet]

It's a big ask (starting Fabinho). I think we'll maybe see him from the bench. He may be familiar with PSG, but if he's not up to speed with our tactics and style, it would be risky playing him in such an important game.

Is he fast? Maybe there is a chance we'll see him at RB to deal with Neymar.

If TAA is not going to start at RB then it would have to be Clyne starting there.


Fabinho can play at RB but he is not a natural fit in the position compared to the other two.


Fabinho has decent pace, but if he is to start against PSG (although I suspect he might get his start instead at the weekend against Southampton), then it needs to be in the centre where he is at his best and most effective.

[Scratch]

Sooo, trying to rest players but keep it strong (or we could go all out in this one, and rest at the weekend?)

Alisson

Gomez
Matip
VVD
Clyne

Fabinho
Henderson
Wijnaldum

Shaqiri
Sturridge
Mane

With Salah and TAA subbing on for Mane and Gomez. Maybe even sub VVD off and drop Fabinho back in, with Milner coming on?
