Brighton & Hove Albion v Liverpool FC - Sat 28 Nov - 1230pm

[Gethin]

Live on Jurgen's favourite channel, BT Sport.

Expect us to go as full strength as possible but god knows what that means especially in midfield.

Milner playing 3 games in 7 days is probably a bit of an ask, so wonder if we go with all 4 of Jota, Mo, Mane and Bobby again?

 

 

[Alonso]

Mane playing 90 last night wasn’t ideal either. Wonder if it’ll be Jota firmino salah to start as we’ll also want mane for a large chunk v Ajax on Tuesday as well. 

[Cunny]

I expect Mane on the bench after playing 90 last night, maybe Gini too if we can get another midfielder or two fit.

[Hassony]

Adrian

TAA. Matip Fabhino Robbo

Hendo Gini Thiago

Salah Bobby Jota 

[Gethin]

Think the only certainties on the team sheet are

Allison

? Fab Matip Robbo

? ? ?

? Bobby Jota

Salah plays 100%

[Swipe]

Milner has to go RB. Annoying he played 90 mins last night but he has to go there, especially if Jones ends up playing. He looked great with Milner's help on that side, but wobbly when Williams is there.

Be nice if Hendo and Thiago were available. 

[Hassony]

Milner was great against Leicester, but I still don't want to see him starting again in midfield for us

 

He'll be ok at RB if he starts there 

[Hightown Phil]

Alisson, Milner, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Jones, Jota, Firmino, Salah. 

Maybe.

[Gethin]

I'd be very happy with that if Hendo's good to go. I just can't see Milner being able to be effective for a 3rd game in 7 days but he'll probably have to give it a go

Same goes for Jones really - need to protect him

[PaulMcC186]

That team is fine for one more game. Really need players back after it. 

[Gethin]

I just hope some of the injured midfield players are close to being available again soon.

 

[Sion]

Lots saying Mane might be rested but I can't see it. He's our most important player for me. Take him off after 60 if need be, but he has to play.

We can't just play him forever. If we do that it would be our choice of when he doesn't play. 

[PaulMcC186]

I think we need to rest Mane. He's rarely injured but he has had a few muscles with us. 

[Jarg Armani]

He looked goosed last night, and it's already Thursday. He can come on and win the game a la Norwich.

[Big Red Machine]

We also have the ballache of playing Ajax on the following Tuesday

If we don't start getting the likes of Hendo and Thiago back we're going to be f***ed.

We could looking at playing Milner, Gini and Jones 4 games in 9 days

[Swipe]

We haven’t won an away game in the league since Chelsea. I hope we stop that run on Saturday. Don’t @ me.

I think it will be a genuine struggle on Saturday; especially if no Hendo/Thiago. Will really have to dig it out.

[Swipe]

It's my birthday on Saturday. Anything but a win is not acceptable.

This from Ian Doyle's Q&A thing on the echo:

'Henderson, Thiago and Ox seem the nearest to being recovered at present. But as for whether they are ready for Brighton, the reality is Klopp doesn't even know until he is given the nod by his medical team. But they are all a lot, lot nearer to being back. It won't be long.'

[Cunny]

I feel like I've been reading that about Thiago since before the original lockdown

[Swipe]

He went on to say Thiago's injury was worse than they initially thought and he'll obviously need to build up fitness again. Also reckons AOC is pretty close to a return.

I can only imagine it genuinely was a week by week thing and every week it just hadn't settled enough. Surely they'd have said 'he'll be out 6 weeks' if they knew.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

If I'm Gini, I'm pointing at all 3 of them, swinging that finger wildly so they are in no doubt each of them is being addressed, and I'm telling them that they're doing the f*kin' Christmas and New Year shifts this year given the overtime that has been put in already !
