Liverpool vs Atalanta - Champions League Group D (20/21 - Game 4)

[frank the tank]

I'd rest Matip, Robbo, Gini and Mane.

My team would be:

Alisson

Milner or Neco
R Williams
Fabinho
Tsimikas

Thiago or Milner
Jones
Shaqiri

Salah
Firmino
Jota

good shout

For me, i'd go with:

-----------------------BECKER----------------------------

NECO-------WILLIAMS--------FABINHO------TSIMIKAS

------------------------MILNER---------------------------

-------------JONES----------------WJINALDUM----------

SALAH----------------MINAMINO------------------ORIGI

Is Shaqiri available again after the weekend?

I’d have Taki in. Maybe Derek too. Give Bobby or Jota a break.

He won't be.

[RedReet]

Would be mad to risk Matip.

I thought I read that Klopp suggested that we will have to restrict him to 1 game per week, but that might just have been someone on here and I picked it up wrong.

Either way, I wouldn't do it. Bar preserving a key player, it's a great opportunity to get some much needed experience for Jones and/or Phillips, should we need to rely on them again going forward.

[memzey]

Isn't one of the young centre halves unavailable for for Europe because he wasn't registered in the squad?

[Pablo]

Yes Nat Phillips isn't registered in our squad for the Champions League games.

[RedReet]

Ha, I had written Jones for that reason, paused to take a call, then added Phillips when I read over it again. Idiot!

[memzey]

Is Thiago real or is he a mirage?

Saving them for Sat

[Paul12]

My team would be:

Alisson

Neco
R Williams
Fabinho
Tsimikas

Milner
Jones
Shaqiri

Salah
Taki
Derek

Save Robbo, Matip, Thiago, Hendo, Bobby , Jota & Mane for the weekend

Milner gives us options, so I'd prefer to try to save him for Saturday; and not sure Shaq will be fit. Do we have enough other fit midfielders though. Might this be a debut for Clarkson?

[Rigadon]

Agree with everyone about the need to rotate players. However, taking Robbo, Milner and Wijnaldum out of the team (from the Leicester game) leaves us very short on leadership.

As an aside, I expect the Atlanta game to be high scoring. 5-4 or something similar.

****ing hell a 9 goal thriller incoming lads

[kev776]

It's hard to rotate with 8 potential players missing.

Williams- Fab-Rhys- Robbo (45 mins)

-----Jones--Milner Gini (45 mins)

-----Salah--Mina---Origi

Kostas, Matip, Mane, Jota, Ox

-------------or

Williams- Fab-Rhys- Kostas

------Millie---Ginni

Jota-----Salah------Origi

----------Mina

Mane, Matip, Bobby, Ox,

[frank the tank]

i think you might be right. Hopefully just rotate the front 3, Keita obviously and possibly Matip as well....
