Liverpool vs Sheff Utd, Sat 24 Oct 20.00h - Premier League

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

This is probably the tougher of 2 home games coming up - Midtdylland on Tues - although they have lost 4 of their 5 games and their only point was against Fulham.

So rotation is order of the day here & no need to rush anyone back who's not 100% - looking at you Matip, Thiago etc.

The lineup here really dictates the lineup for the EC game 

Adrian in goal, the greek may be available - maybe play him in Tues, Keita should be available again. No chance on VVD & the Ox obviously

Maybe - 

Adrian

Trent Gomez Matip Robbo

Keita Fab Curtis

Mo Mane Jota

[Dan]

No way we rest Hendo again.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

and then on Tues?

Adrian

Williams Gomez Matip Greek

Hendo Mini Keita

Jota Mane Divvy

[Earl Hafler]

Macca, you think Hendo was allocated 45 mins in midweek so we could rest him for a tricky league game?

Only decision for me would be Matip or Fabinho in defence as I'd def start Jota for Bobby

[Hightown Phil]

Can't see the front three not all starting if all three are coming off after an hour in midweek. Think the likelihood of changes is greater on Tuesday to be honest. 

[Conrad]

we need our strongest team out. 1 point in the last 6.

 

crazy talk to leave Henderson and Wijnaldum out.

I think the front 3 all might not play against Midtylland. Advantage of the five subs is that if it isn't working after an hour you can bring them all on. 

[Begbie]

I'd start Thiago if he's fit, with Hendo and Gini, unless Matip is fit, then rest either Fab or Gini

Jota for Bobby although I worry this will mess with our dynamic

Rest picks itself

true

On paper it's not a bad run of games to the end of the month so we should rest players as much as we can - 3 at home - Sheff U, Danes, West Ham but then into Nov with Atalanta & ManC away, Leicester & Atalanta home before going to Brighton at the end of Nov

Klopp said the medical team told him 45 minutes max for Henderson last night. It may be similar for him Saturday.

[PaulMcC186]

How can Henderson only play 45 minutes? He played more for that for England.

Probably cos he played 90 at the weekend and his body couldn't do both?

[PaulMcC186]

Why couldn't his body handle 90 minutes twice in 4 days? He's done it regularly in the past. He seemed as fit as ever on Saturday.

[Hightown Phil]

He's coming back from injury.

Are you trolling at this point?

England don't give a f***

[Ed the Wool]

Wonder if Sadio might get a rest for this. 

[Nebraska Red]

Is Goalie when needed an option in the PL?

I think for this match we need to secure 3 points because of previous league games... Mane is the best player to do that so get him in there and get us out of sight by half time and then maybe rest him 

[Cam]

Adrian

TAA Matip Gomez Robertson

Henderson Fabinho Wijnaldum

Salah Mane Jota

[Conrad]

I really hope we don't rest Mane. Rest him on Tuesday.

[Big Red Machine]

Mane had an ice pack on when he came of last night, so maybe he doesn't start this and comes on at half time if we're not comfortable.

[Swipe]

Klopp said it’s a dead leg and he’s been doing it in between games and isn’t a big problem.

[growler]

What we need is a fast start and open up a strong lead in first half.

it would fit football luck that Brewster will score against us for first ever goal.

I’d want Thiago for this game with hendo if available. I’d play Jota instead of firmino to start and see if that opens up a different dynamic. 

[mofus77]

Was looking forward to watching this then sussed it was pay per view which can f*** off.
