Crystal Palace Thread (Home in the PL )

Wow. 9 goals.

Although you could have shared to save me looking.

Do you know how many appearances overall against Palace?

He has scored in each of his last eight Premier league games against Palace. So a goal at the weekend would break a record as no player has scored in nine games in a row against the same club in the PL.

I guess he didn't forgive Roy for his time here.

Firmino still out

[Doc_Piptorious]

That's ok, we have Salah, Mane and Jota to tear **** up

[Rigadon]

"He's not ready," said the Liverpool boss. "Bobby won't start training with the team until some time next week. Then we will have to wait and see."

Shame. Will be good to get him back. A quality option.

[Rigadon]

With this being Liverpool's third game in a week, boss Jurgen Klopp said he'll rotate the squad against Crystal Palace.

"We spoke about the schedule, this one is normal for us, three games in a week," he said.

"Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday is a tough one so you have to think about this. We came through [so far] and the boys did really well. We'll make changes again, that's clear."

Didn't Ox play the Bobby role in pre-season. Chances of Mane, Ox, Salah/Jota?

Possibly Ox or Minamino to start ?

Possibly Ox or Minamino to start ?

If it was a straight choice, then would prefer the latter if we had the likes of Thiago and Fabinho in the middle and VVD back at the back.

[frank the tank]

VVD back I reckon with maybe Tsimikas and Konate back there too.

Maybe milner or Jones will get a go in midfield. And perhaps Taki up top with Mane and either salah or jota

[Irishnev]

Firmino still out

They never say how long with these but he was hurt pre international break so 3 weeks or so now - the club keeps these close to their chest

[danperkins]

Mane, Thiago & Virgil will probably start which is a very strong rotation. Interesting to see who is beside Virgil though. The cup game we can still field a decent side with good rotation. Need to get Bobby back and hope we are lucky with injuries. It would be nice to go on domestic cup runs and get good game time into the fringe players, knowing our luck we'll get poxy cup fixtures whilst City get ****ehawk F.C.

[Paul12]

I can see one - and only one - of Matip and Robbo being rotated. I think the front line will be as is (mane is fresh, Mo is indispensible and Jota will get a break when Bobby is fit). Midfield? Fab (indispensible), Tiago (fresh) and a fresh attacking midfielder, so either Naby (not so fresh), Curtis or The Ox.

Agree there likely won't be much change from the Leeds line up apart from Elliot obviously. Konante will have to wait for the mid week cup game and as much as I rate Tsimikas and would love to see him get a start in the league it'll be Robertson starting again.
Who replaces Elliot though ?? Curtis, Ox or Minamino ?? Or maybe we'll go with a wildcard and start Origi who did well against Milan.

[baitman]

Maybe curtis jones to start and oxlade to get 20 mins.

He started running last week and Klopp said next week they'll be aiming to get him in full training, so not too long before he's back.
