Preseason Friendlies

[RedReet]

With the new stoppage time ruled coming into play, matches could feasibly be 10% longer, so Doak coming off the bench against tired legs could be exciting to watch.

[RedReet]

Although, expect Elliot to replace him more often than not and either play there himself or possibly switch with Szoboszlai.

Just watched “ Robbo's Tour Challenge “ on LFCTVGO & it’s so good. At the end Robbo gets a shirt signed by the team & walks outside & gives it to a young fan in Singapore. The morale seems sky high with the squad & it’s so good to see. Not sure if it can be shared though.

Thank you kind sir

Looking forward to this match today. Very curious how we line up as I imagine it will resemble something close to the Chelsea starting 11.

We all know Mo will start against Chelsea but so far Darwin has started every game with him, so will this continue? I expect Gakpo to start against Chelsea, but he drops into similar positions that Mac Allister was picking up against Leicester, so is Nunez a better fit in that setup?

Jones probably in pole position for DM role, so also a chance we play Gakpo alongside Mac Allister and not rush Szoboszlai.

My take from all that is - isn't it nice to have options?

I think Gakpo will be preferred against teams that sit deep and Darwin will be used against teams that like to press.

We are spoilt for choice with our front 5. Jota/ Diaz could be a head to head today, best player keeps place for Chelsea.

My point was as much I wonder how much other players and combinations will impact who is picked as much as the player's individual form.

Kick off in 18 mins yeah? No starting line up yet? Looking forward to this as it’s our best hit out yet.

I think it's 12.30 kick off so an hour and a bit. Waffly coverage starts in 15.

Strong team

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jota, Salah, Gakpo.

oh ok I thought it was 1130 your time. The coverage has started 20 mins ago on the Offal

How come Matip over Konate? The rest looks like the starting line-up for Chelsea.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jota, Salah, Gakpo.

With the exception of Konate and of Diaz and Jota being a toss up, I think the rest of that XI starts against Chelsea regardless if whether we buy a DM between now and that game.
