Cardiff (H) FA Cup

[Buzzo]

TV: Dunno

We have Leicester on the Thursday then Burnley away a week Sunday. Looks like there are a lot of guys back and fit but no Mo and Sadio still.

Kweev

Trent (no neco now!)
Konate
Gomez
Tsmikas

Morton
Jones
Hendo

Taki
Jota
Bobby

Who knows. Lots of options.

Think I would have Keita in the middle instead of Morton and then bring on Thiago for some minutes in the second half.


Would be tempted to put Diaz on the bench to give him a 15 to 20 min run out, though doubt Klopp will do something like that.


RB could well be Milner (or Gomez if Klopp wants to start VVD with Konate or Matip.


Think it will be a strong enough team though as we might see the need to get minutes into a number of first teamers after the break and before we go up a level of opposition.

[Buzzo]

I forgot all about Keita! And I guess Ox, who may struggle more now that the big dogs are back. Though he is miles ahead of Taki.

[Doc_Piptorious]

We often seem to be slow getting back into any sort of rhythm after international breaks, so my logic is use a game against a weaker team than most PL as a way to get competitive minutes into legs and to shake off any rust.

[Mr Pink]

Also it would be a perfect game for Elliott to come back (from the bench, I guess).

[frank the tank]

I think we will be stronger than the suggested line-up above.... something like:


-------------------------KELLEHER--------------------------

MILNER--------GOMEZ-------------VIRGIL--------TSIMIKAS

--------------------------HENDERSON-----------------------

--------------KEITA---------------------JONES---------------

OXLADE-------------------BOBBY--------------------DIAZ

Neco has been let go because Jo G is going to be played as Trent's alternate this season, not Millie

[Shaggy]

Jurgen says Elliott will definitely be in the squad, not sure whether starting or sub. Either way

[Shaggy]

****s sake. Thiago came back to full training then got a chest infection

Klopp unsure re him for Sunday. Says Naby is fine and ready.

[Mark79]

Origi also back in team training.

[spud_gun]

Thiago back in pre-injury

****s sake. Thiago came back to full training then got a chest infection

Klopp unsure re him for Sunday. Says Naby is fine and ready.
