Newcastle United v Jurgen Klopp's Medal-Laden All Stars - Sunday 1600

[Gethin]

Last one of the season - live on BT Sports 2

We expecting a much changed team or going strong then bringing on the lads who are off towards then end? Think we might see something like

Adrian

Neco Gomez Lovren Robbo

Fab Curtis Naby

Origi Minimino Mane

 

Allisson, TAA, VVD, Milner, Gini, Ox, Origi, Shaq, Elliott

[Hightown Phil]

Can't see Lovren playing if he's leaving. Wouldn't play any of Alisson, van Dijk, Trent, Robertson, Fabinho, Mane, Salah and Firmino. If they get injured for a while it'll be stupid to have played them.

[Gethin]

Jurgen always goes stronger than we think he's going to

Forgot Lallana - I think he'll be involved and both him and Lovren will want to play at least some part

I agree with both those points. 
 

[Candystore]

I'd like Jones and Elliott to start

[Rory Fitzgerald]

These have defensive issues. Clark, Schar, Lascelles and Lejeune are all injured with Kraft a doubt. 
 

Last game he played a back 3 with 2 full backs of Kraft and Rose either side of Federico Fernandez (only fit CB). Bruce is talking about Hayden Mullins coming back from injury and being an option in there and U23 player Kell Watts. 

A guess 

Dubravka

Manquillo Kraft Fernandez Rose Ritchie

Almiron Shelvey Bentaleb 

Gayle St. Maximin

[Case]

I think he'll go strong.

Alisson

Trent Joe Joel Williams

Fabinho

Jones Naby

Elliott Mo Sadio

Some subs.

Play fabhino at CB and start with Ox, Keita and Jones

Mo will be desperate to play. He is bursting for a goal.

Yeah, stuff like this 

 

 

[McBain]

Play the strongest 11

For what purpose?

[stressederic]

Get to 99 points. Maybe Mo or Mane go goal crazy and win the golden boot. 

[Hightown Phil]

And if one of them does a hamstring and doesn't play until October?

Perhaps we keep them back till December so that they're in better shape for the run in

They're fit, up for it and about to get a nice rest. Play them, beat the oppo, finish the season with a big win. Stand there magnificently on 99 points with their collective testicles swinging proudly

Well there's obviously a pretty sizeable difference between not playing them away at Newcastle and not playing them for 3 months of a Premier League season isn't there? 

Playing the core players tomorrow cannot achieve a single positive, so it would be borderline idiotic to do it. 

 

 

[Conrad]

He'll definitely play Minamino  - very keen to see him for 90 mins.

Ox and Jones I'm sure also. Williams, Keita probably, Fab at CB.

Possibly Salah

I'd rest both full backs, VVD, Gini, Mane and Bobby

You've said this a few times this season and whilst I generally agree with you, Jurgen seems not to have

Lallana won't be involved in any way whatsoever. Yesterday was clearly his last session with the squad.

It's right that Klopp always goes strong but I think we'll see a hint of the future. Don't think we'll see Lovren either. 

Alisson 

TAA Gomez VvD Robertson 

Jones Fabinho Keita

Salah Origi Mane

But Williams and Elliott will get on.

Then we should buy Sancho.

Sounds like Phil will be happy.
