[Gethin]

Gonna have to do something different to find some goals from somewhere. There a case for starting Gordon over Minamino?

Not on UK telly for some reason

Its an open and shut case. Minamino needs to be moved on.

[LicK]

I hope we play a different shape. I don't think we will, but expecting Minamino and Jota to suddenly be great out wide is futile. Especially when TAA and Robertson are barely on the overlap these days.
Probably just end up with Jones, Ox or even Williams in the front three instead of Minamino.

 

[Dan]

Gonna be grim I expect. Need to grind it out. 

[Nebraska Red]

It's on USA Network over here so there will be plenty of streams.

The best we can hope for is that Brentford come to play and not defend en masse. That might open things up. 

I don't want to see Milner or Minamino in the starting 11. 

Is  there a case for 3 center backs with TAA and Robertson as wing backs? Midfield of Fab, Henderson and Jones with Bobby and Jota up top.

Got to do something to shake things up.

[jimbolala]

If we start with the same 11 and formation as the other night, then Klopp needs a boot up the hole as well. We need a change, either in personnel, formation and attitude. We looked lost the other night and defeated both mentally and physically

[growler]

Title now sewn up - id be inclined to use the league as a training ground for next season. Get rid of ox, Keita and  minamino. Get minutes into the kids so we can see who’s ready for it or not. Beck, morton, Gordon play 10-15 league games this season and we’ll know if they’ve got it.

What?

[PaulMcC186]

Brentford are s***e. We should be beating them comfortably even with a couple of players out.

[Cam]

I think he'll go:

Alisson 

TAA Konate VvD Robertson 

Henderson Fabinho Jones 

Ox Firmino Jota

Then Thursday will see Matip, Tsimikas & Milner come in. And Ox back in midfield with Jones up front.

if you can see us winning the title, good on you. It is mathematically possible. 
 

i can’t see it so would rather focus on cups and use the league games to blood players. 
 

get guys like Gordon and Elliott when fit, ready for next season.

We've got 18 games left, let's play the strongest team available in each of them until it's mathematically impossible 

 

Elliott is a first teamer anyway, he'll start a lot of games when he's back fit 

[Tommy Cockles]

Torture these owners aren’t they really.

If they were on their a***, fine. We live with it. But the feckers are absolutely loaded. And in no small part because of LFC.

I know that’s absurdly simplistic, but it’s also true.

[psl]

Suggestions from some on Twitter that its unchanged. Which would be disappointing.

[quibs]

Team vs Brentford:

Alisson
Alexander-Arnold
Matip
Van Dijk
Robertson
Fabinho
Henderson
Jones
Jota
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Firmino

Which of Ox and Jones is in midfield and/or up front? 

[PaulMcC186]

I think I'd like Jones as left sided attacker cos he played there for u23s. Both him and Chamberlain are unproven there.

I kind of get the rationale there but we've got to be certain to tie up CL qualification - finishing second ideally or at the very least third still, so don't think we can totally go into experimental mode in the league yet.

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Gomez, Minamino, Tsimikas, Gordon, Williams, Morton.

[Dominus Maximus]

Last chance Ox. Lets go ffs! 

[Bogman]

Best we can do.

Pessimism is nice because then you can’t get dissapointed. I do it too all the time. But if we win our games in hand and beat City and we are looking at 5 points. That’s not undoable.

Another last chance. Don't see the point of playing him ahead of one of the young lads.
