King of the Kop

  • Liverpool Team: Mignolet, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Wijnaldum, Can, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Solanke, Firmino.

    Subs: Karius, Milner, Coutinho, Salah, Henderson, Sturridge, Alexander-Arnold.

    Stoke City v […]

    • A little strange in Klopps team but it does show the depth we have now. The fact we can leave Coutinho, Salah, Hendo, Milner etc on the bench is testament to our depth.
      I think if we had Salah and Coutinho in instead of Solanke and the Ox, we would be looking a lot more potent up front.
      A win tonight could take us into the top 4 if results go our way…
      Come on you REDS!!! YNWA

    • I know we have a packed schedule of games coming up with Christmas around the corner, and Klopp will want to rest players, but Stoke is such a tough venue that I don’t think we will offer much up front, which suggests he is going for a draw or hoping to nick one with Salah or Coutinho coming off the bench. Solanke has been patient waiting for his chance and I would be delighted if he proved me wrong and got a goal for us tonight!

  • Sevilla 0 Liverpool 1!

  • Liverpool Team: Karius, Gomez, Klavan, Lovren, Moreno, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    Subs: Mignolet, Milner, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold.

    • Coutinho, Mane, Salah and Firmino all starting – Klopp is looking to wrap this up tonight by the looks of it! Gomez coming in is a good move. Still don’t understand keeper rotation but it hasn’t done much harm so can’t knock it

    • Basically the team that beat Southampton – with the expected GK change and Gomez coming back in. Bench looks the same too with both Migs and TTA replacing Karius and Gomez.
      Lallana not on the bench but I do understand that Klopp would rather keep him safe and ease him back in. You wouldn’t want to bring him on with 3omins to go and need him at full match pace to get a result and then have a relapse after 10-15mins.

  • Jurgen Klopp made four changes to his Liverpool team with Dejan Lovren replacing the injured Joel Matip in central defence. Joe Gomez was a surprise omission but perhaps one eye was on the Champions League match […]

    • Caught the game on MOTD and was so impressed with Salah. I dread to think where we would be this season without him and his 14 goals. We are on a good run now and with Lallana coming back we are looking strong on the pitch and the bench. It’s just a pity we gave City such a head start with some amateur defending and questionable performances earlier in the season. I would give Klopp and the team 7 out of 10 so far this season.

      • Yes James I would agree with your assessment 100% with the caveat of until the Sadio Mane sending off we were well in the game be it 1-0 but well in the game. Spurs game was just recklessly ridiculous in the extreme defensively… since then we have our swagger back. Most important player for LFC is Roberto Firminio by some distance just because he presses in the absence of Lallana and make everything tick. Klopp has learned that finally we can’t go all out attacking just sit back and wait our time that’s been noticeable since the Spurs embarrassment.

  • Liverpool 3 Southampton 0!

  • Liverpool FC: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Klavan, Lovren, Moreno, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    Subs: Karius, Milner, Gomez, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Solanke.

    • Gomez benched today, surprise or what?

      • More importantly, no Matip!!! Good to see Mane is fit and I did wonder if Lallana would have made the bench.

    • Great to be back after the international break! I just hope there is no hangover. because we were on a fine run of form in November. I am also surprised that Gomez isn’t in central defence today. I’m glad Manet was passed fit and think we have plenty of options in the team and on the bench to get the 3 points!

    • King Kenny was my boyhood hero. An unbelievable player, right up there with George Best as one of the greatest ever to grace our game. I’m amazed he hasn’t got a knighthood but I have a sneaky feeling he could well do in the New Year’s honours. Long overdue. I can’t wait to get this film on DVD on Monday!

    • Have pre ordered this film and can’t wait to see it. Saw Dalglish play several times, and met him briefly as a kid. He was a very special player the likes of whom you don’t see today. For skill and influence on a game only Luis Suarez comes close in a red shirt, or any shirt for that matter. I was gutted when FSG fired him in 2012 as felt he should have been given more time. A knighthood long overdue!

  • Reds hammer West Ham as Salah strikes twice!

    • It was a job done, but our defense is still woeful imo. West Ham came back into the game at 1-2 thankfully Oxlade-Chamberlain scored to make it 1-3. What do we say about Mo Salah 12 goal’s in 17 games (all comp’s), what a savior he is when Coutinho and Mane have been absent. VvD will be signed in January imo so that’ll help our defense big time.

  • West Ham 0 Liverpool 2!

  • Simon Mignolet replaces Loris Karius in goal.

    In defence Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan and Alberto Moreno get the nod.

    In midfield skipper Jordan Henderson misses out through injury while Emre Can […]

  • Reds edge closer to CL last 16 with victory over Maribor!

    • LFC did what they had to do really. Again frustrating 1st half like the Huddersfield game but patience prevailed again in 2nd half. What’s it with these penalties all of a sudden?. Ever since Firmino hit the post ‪vs Sevilla Anfield it’s been a bad omen. Lallana, Mane & Coutinho back for LFC after boring international break thank goodness.

  • Loris Karius, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Emre Can and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all start.

    While Simon Mignolet, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge have to make do with a place on the […]

    • I would have liked Sturridge to keep his place following his goal at the weekend. Come on you Reds!

      • he scored but didn’t look deadly, like he could beat his man and looked like he would struggle to play 2 matches in a few days.
        Maribor, if they give us as much space as last time, would probably have been good for Studge, but I think Firmino will do more to pressure their back 4 into mistakes.
        I did wonder if Robertson may have had a chance – give Moreno a break but then Moreno has been in good form so maybe better to keep his momentum. Can’t say the other changes are a surprise – especially with Coutinho, Lovren, Mane, Lallana etc out injured…

        • Yes you are right, our injury list is worryingly long at the moment and we are a bit thin! Robertson must be a bit frustrated with the way things are going at the moment. Last season he played first-team football week in week out. I guess that is the risk you take when you join a big club. Ironic though that it is Moreno of all people who is keeping him out of the side 🙂

          • i have stood by Moreno and defended him a lot. I know he has made a few mistakes but often I felt he was a scapegoat for that final – unjustifiably. I know he made a mistake but he wasn’t the first and certainly not the only one. As good as Robertson was for Hull, he was never as good as Moreno could be. The season we got to the final, he had more assists than most as well as better stats in most defensive areas than Clyne BUT the odd mistake – often not his mistake – like being in front of the ball, giving us width and an outlet, but then appearing out of position when Hendo loses the ball easily – he gets blamed rather than Hendo.
            Its good to see him given a consistent chance and the fans maybe finally see his potential

      • Yep same here. Sturridge needs more goals.

  • When the team sheet was initially released Jurgen Klopp demonstrated he had kept faith with Dejan Lovren after the humiliating defeat at Tottenham last week. But an injury to the Croatian defender in the pre-match […]

  • A big three points for the Reds!

    • Dire first half made up for with a much better second half. Klopp proved right in restoring Daniel Sturridge who made the difference with his goal because up until that point it looked like it was going be another one of those days. The league table is looking a little bit better now. Champions League next! Come on you Reds!
