I merged the 2 threads.

Ace2007

TAA benched

Kiith

Liverpool team, Darwin not even on the bench.

shmeee

Liverpool team news as noted earlier, Nunez and TAA do not start. Nunez not even on bench so -4 last minute at least off to a bit of a good start.

Liverpool XI: Becker, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Milner(c), Jones, Fabinho, Elliott, Roberto Firmino, Fábio Carvalho, Salah

Subs: Bajcetic, Alexander-Arnold, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kelleher, Clark, Adrián, Henderson, Phillips, Tsimikas

shmeee

BTW, Neco Williams starts again for Forest.

If you have playing subs, bobby has to get a return of 6 to breakeven though, and that assumes you sub only gets two!

shmeee

Klopp in interview there on BT; 'no way Nunez could play today, muscle injury still', 'maybe if game tomorrow could play'

Jones is a last minute replacement for Thiago by the looks of it. Terrible midfield.

shmeee

Ear infection I think is what Klopp said there, was a late call early this morning / last night.

Kiith

Good luck to the Salah captainers....got burned myself twice (both for Haaland hattricks iirc)...it's a real rank killer if it doesn't work out 😬

Ya, I went with Salah on the 3 GW's when Haaland got his hat trick's; 4, 5 & 9. I'm now only working my way back to the rank around then slowly and this was a huge punt today on Salah, if this fails, I'm straight back out again on a red arrow!

Not much happening yet, Liverpool Midfield ain't giving me confidence yet.

Ace2007

BT commentator "Salah is the man in form".... not sure how accurate that statement would be

Kiith

Liverpool midfield almost non-existant. The defenders seem to be the ones trying to create things.

mailburner

Forest look more like scoring here

early days but already regretting getting Salah back

Kiith

Salah down...oh crap.

Looks in a lot of pain as well, though not sure what from.

Looks ok though.

Cartman78

Salah down with a muscle injury as per LFC web commentary :-(

extra gravy

He's up again - hard to know if it's muscular or he got a kick

shmeee

Salah is down! This is not good.

He is up now... Not liking this one bit. Maybe a knee into the back or so? Hard to see from replay.

extra gravy

Liverpool midfield has been shocking and there's not much on the bench for them

Ace2007

Van Dijk should have scored - less than 6 yards out, was closer to the corner flag than the goals

shmeee

VVD header, not sure how he missed target. Nearly set up bobby.... Wow! Only chance so far.

Kiith

Pretty awful 1st half from Liverpool, though Van Dijk missed a great chance.

DJIMI TRARORE

VVD definitely tried to pick out Bobby,easier to score himself I think

extra gravy

Gomez booked and then Pool concede. Ffs.

Ace2007

Awonyi with the goal - no assist

extra gravy

Awoniyi, no assist

Ace2007

Morgan gibbs white should have scored - pool torn apart

extra gravy

If Salah blanks again and Williams gets another clean sheet 😂

Ace2007

TAA coming on to save the day

shmeee

Oh bollox!

It's going to be a long weekend, only myself to blame really.

Kiith

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119779110#Comment_119779110

Indeed it is. Haaland definitely getting a hattrick now as well.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119779116#Comment_119779116

Captained Salah for Haalands last 3 hat tricks, so what difference 4 gonna make. May aswel!

Father Hernandez

Neco Williams off with his CS intact…

extra gravy

Neco subbed with the clean sheet!

machiavellianme

Neco Williams CS locked in at 3rd sub on the bench

extra gravy

Foden benched

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119779155#Comment_119779155

Booooo.

machiavellianme

Great to see Ox on, could be an option if he gets games

extra gravy

KDB probably going to outscore Salah's two games in one now.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119779110#Comment_119779110

One of the reasons I didn't go salah was because he might ruin my weekend, glad I missed the team news I deffo would have gone that route, at least you will know after the 3 o'clock games what the damage is.

Liverpool in this 442 doesn't work for mo
