FA Cup 18/19

[greenturnip]

Would like to see Jones and Camacho get mins.

[Nicey]

So why would you risk one of the two fit centre backs we have left and Trent?

I dont know, I find it highly unlikely Kloop will field and completely new back five ... to be honest with you as long as Becker, VVD and does not play I will take any back 4. I really do not care about this game, if it was not for the fact we lost our last game I would have happily taken the loss, but now that does not feel right

I will be able to enjoy the game with zero pressure and superstition

Wolves are likely to beat us with any half baked team we put out there. So let's give them an excuse to rest their players too in light of their league game with City coming up a few days after.

Klopp needs to start making noises now that we're definitely not playing Alisson, VvD, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Salah and Mane. 7 key players.

[Phoenix07]

Well, Klopp's already said that Mignolet and Moreno are playing, so we know that Alisson and Robertson won't be.

There's plenty of rest periods coming up and i don't think we'll take this as lightly as some predict. I think:

Mignolet
Fabinho VVD Lovren Moreno
Keita Henderson
Shaqiri Lallana Mane
Sturridge

With Salah and Firmino on the bench.

If Matip and Gomez were available, obviously I'd protect Virgil but they aren't. I doubt Klopp will throw Hoever in though based on U21 performances.

I don't see us making 10 or 11 changes (although I would like us to). Realistically we are probably going to have to play at least one maybe both of our first choice CBs and some of the centre mids but they have been rotated a fair bit. I think that we have to rest the front 3 and the full backs. I can see a team similar to what you posted butd I would swap out Mane for Origi and I would like to see some of the kids get minutes evenow if it is jylust from the bench

It's a bit sad but I couldn't be less interested in the FA Cup anymore. If we never played in it again I don't think I'd bat an eyelid.

I am bit miffed that we've got a difficult game though and the timing after our first league defeat is more than touch irritating.

Wolves are a good team, they've taken points off most of the best teams and we had to play really well to beat them.

If they play a full strength team then I fully expect to lose this. And losing two games in a row, albeit playing a weakened team is something I would really prefer to avoid.

All round thumbs down from me on this one.

What does this mean?

Yeah, the draw has been unkind to us - that said, going out early could be a blessing for us.

I think he wants Klopp to publicly say who is/isn't playing (say that Salah, Mane, Firmino etc are't playing) in the hope that Wolves will also rest first team players so that they (Wolves first team) are fresh for their game against Man City a week tomorrow.

Much like going out fairly early in the League Cup.

FA Cup or League Cup would be nice to win but not at the detriment of the league or champions League.

Spot on. Thanks. We'll scratch your back and you scratch ours type scenario.
