Brentford away PL thread

[Norbs]

Careful, norbs is just the pr guy for the clique, who lurk and respond when they have had a line.
get ready...

Pretty sure the group you mean (at a guess Chazza, Lee, Muddled, Dom, Neil Young) got on well with Bender. There was a close group but I wouldn't call it toxic back then

a 3-3 draw would be great. Defences criticised. Both 'dropping' points.

..with a couple of niggly injuries to key players from both sides, plus a red apiece. Not much to ask for..

After the Norwich game...





'Kicked the grass' made me smile.

Interesting what Klopp said about the midfield when Mortan came on.



Wouldn't be surprised to see a midfield of Henderson - Fabinho - Jones

Has Trent trained this week?

Despite blasting Ox for the whole of the first half, the whole team started functioning better when Keita was subbed. Klopp's comments are interesting in that context. Shows how important Fab and Hendo are.

I want a draw tbh

Yep, draw for me!

Jürgen Klopp has provided fitness updates on six Liverpool players ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Brentford.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is available again having missed last weekend’s win over Crystal Palace due to illness, while Roberto Firmino is ‘in contention’ following a hamstring injury.

James Milner and Neco Williams are also back in training as the Reds prepare for the trip to Brentford Community Stadium.

Naby Keita is unlikely to feature against the Bees, however, due to the issue he sustained at Norwich City in midweek, and Thiago Alcantara is sidelined.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com at the AXA Training Centre on Thursday afternoon, Klopp said: “Trent was not injured, Trent was a little bit ill. He’s back in training, trained yesterday and will be fine.

“Neco made [his] first steps the day before yesterday; yesterday a [recovery] day; will be in training today, if it’s 100 per cent, we will see how he can cope with it.

“James was a similar thing to Trent, so he should be recovered. I saw him running around here, nobody told me differently – I assume he will be in training today.

“Naby probably not. It’s not a serious thing but we have to wait until the pain settles, pretty much. We will see about that. Thiago, no chance.

“Bobby trained already for two or three days, so he is back in contention, let me say it like this. We used him a little bit as a ‘joker’ [in training].

“But he will be in the normal training and then we have to make a decision if we take him with us or not. Porto, 100 per cent. Brentford, we have to see.”

Looking good then!

-- Mane --- Jota --- Salah

Fabinho - Henderson - Jones

Tsimikat - VVD - Matip - TAA

------------- Alisson

Elliott, Thiago and Naby all out already isn't good. I thought it was mental picking Naby at Norwich.

Only Elliott is a serious injury though. The other two will be a couple of weeks fingers crossed.

Plus we seem to have a seriously impressive list of academy stand bys, plus squaddies that are contributing positively.

Feels like we will never see Naby lad or Thiago for a decent run of games

[Shaggy]

Hope I'm wrong but I've got a terrible feeling Thiago is gonna be a couple of months, which if it's a grade 3 calf strain/tear then there's every chance.

Bloody hell hope not, Just read up on that and some say 6 months if it is

[Rich]

Only Naby could kick the grass ( I remember seeing it in the game) and it still be painful today.

Trent - Matip - VVD - Robbo

Hendo - Fabinho - Tsimikas

Salah ---- Jota ----- Mane

[danperkins]

So the resident crocks Keita and Thiago are out, annoying but not surprising. At least Trent is fit and Bobby is back in the mix. Few too many injuries so early in the season for our liking but hopefully most are just small ones.
