King of the Kop

Masterson? I just looked him up, our U23s centre-back, what a game for him to be involved in! But does show with our injuries we are down to our bare bones. Sods law this is the case when such a big match comes along! Come on you Reds, we have nothing to fear, let’s take at least a two goal lead to the Etihad!

All I can is I hope Lovren has a ‘good’ game but with the pace City have with De Bruyne passing the ball, we need a very disciplined performance. I don’t think how midfield has the strength to deal with their’s IF we let them have time on the ball…
Come on you REDS!!! YNWA

The big guns are back! Milner deserves his place, I have been impressed with him over the last few weeks when he has played. He is a good lad for us and rarely lets us down. I normally dread Man Utd Saturday lunchtime clashes but today I feel optimistic! Come on you Reds!

Salah given a rest but on the bench along with Van Dijk, Ox and TAA too but with Gomez, Matip/Lovren, Milner and Lallana coming in, its not a ‘weak’ team. Moreno starts too – hopefully with something to prove after Robertsons impressive form. Robertson took his chance with Moreno’s injury – although took a game or two.
I did wonder whether Firmino would be rested with Ings coming in. With a 5-0 lead, Ings could have been given a start with Mane and Lallana. Its clear though that Klopp hasn’t taken this match lightly and with a big game on Saturday too…

This is a strong side or is it just evidence of what a great squad we have these days? I did expect to see more changes with the Man Utd game at the weekend. Would have liked to have seen Danny Ings get a start but glad to see Adam Lallana getting back in the frame. Come on you Reds!
