Poxy news about Bobby but personally I wouldn't risk him. Mane central and Derek out left be fine.

[ronanm]

Any updates on firmino?

[Buzzo]

Martin 'Marty' Mullen named and shamed.

[Brandie]

No Bobby ....

[Leyton388]

Bobby on the bench.

[Saveloy]

Not the team most were expecting. No TAA and no Henderson?

[Fredo]

Good team, albeit slightly more defensive. We are obviously weary of their threats and adjusting.

Liverpool starting XI

Alisson, Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah

[spud_gun]

We playing 442 or is Naby shoved out wide ?

[Fredo]

Looks like a diamond to me maybe. But we've been fluid in games tactically, so it could change.

I think Baby Kieth and Gini will be given licience to be as offensive as possible

Barca must be thinking......What. The. ****

[Fuzzy]

Unusual selection. Gomez has hardly played since returning from injury, Keita on the left was just poor every time, and Milner who's been pretty unimpressive in the 2nd half of the season instead of Henderson who's been brilliant lately... That midfield three doesn't offer a lot in attack, I hope we won't see a game where our forwards are easily dealt with because there's no service and because Barca's defence has nobody else to worry about. Has happened before once or twice this season.

Martin 'Marty' Mullen named and shamed.

I wonder where Marty is from.

[S-RED]

rewind 3 years, no way would we have a bench as good

Subs: Mignolet, Lovren, Firmino, Henderson, Shaqiri, Origi, Alexander-Arnold
