    Surely Klopp will have to take the FA Cup seriously after this game - we could have an easy passage to the semis.

    Tonight only the 3rd round, win tonight and its still 3 more wins to get to the Semi final

    Lads here thinking they know more than klopp with regards team selection.. laughable.

    Will we just close the thread down? Speculating the team based on our different priorities has to be one of the main purposes of the thread.

    It's augmented entertainment for the particular entertainment we collectively enjoy.

    ____

    I do enjoy watching the second choice lads, for all my desire to not have to play more games. Hope they show promise.

    Wow gone strong
    Neco, Williams, Fab, Milner
    Hendo, Jone, Gini
    Mane Taku, Mo

    I thought Ox and Thaigo would start
    Very surprised with, Fabhino

    We better fúkin win!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭.G.


    That team is madness. Especially Fabinho. If you can't play Williams and Philips together against a bunch of kids it just reinforces the point we need at least two centre backs to be bought.

    Or maybe that's his plan. Drive home the message.

    Fabinho is going to get injured isn't he?

    Punishment for playing crap over Christmas is they get to play in the FA Cup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭Zak Flaps


    I assume it's only 3 subs in the FA Cup also?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,450 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    5 subs as far as I know.

    Maybe they are only getting 45 mins. Can justify one or two playing but as many as 5 or 6. Especially Fabinho, Gini & Hendo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,674 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    No celebrating now lads, not allowed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭Blanco100


    I can see the logic. Team needs to play itself into form. A long rest has never done us favours.

    5 subs in The FA Cup, the only major competition in Europe not allowing 5 subs is the Premier League


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭Girly Gal


    Looks like Fabinho is not going to get a break between now and the end of season, let's hope he doesn't get injured tonight or we're rightly screwed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,065 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Imo that team is looking for trouble, another 2 injuries and a scrappy 2-0 win will not do anybody any good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,674 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    Put out 11 professional footballers and Liverpool would win this game, basically got a bye and picks that team. So confused.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,088 ✭✭✭Fromvert


    Ah come on Klopp. Fab, Gini, Hendo, Mane, Salah, Firmino, Robertson and Trent shouldn't be near this squad. There's plenty in the rest to get it done.

    Origi, Ox, Shaq, Philips can't play against an under 23's team?

    Why are you so concerned about what Liverpool or Klopp does?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭.red.


    The next time Klopp complains about congestion and only 3 subs he should be told in no uncertain terms to shut the flock up.
    Absolutely ridiculous team to be putting out. 6 are first team starters, against kids in a competition he has never shown any interest in.
    Baffling.
    Now if we come out 0-8 winners and no injuries it won't have been so bad.

    He/she is a Villa fan I believe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 838 ✭✭✭qm1bv4p8i92aoj


    Think Klopp is trying to play some first teamers back into form is the only reason I can fathom why he's picked that side.

    He knows his players better than anyone. They need to play themselves into form

    I know that but what does it matter to him/her what team klopp picks,why the need to come in here all faux outraged


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,005 ✭✭✭Potential Underachiever


    Baffling line up, just seems so unnecessary to risk so many key players when we're already bare bones.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭.G.


    The argument to try play into form and get some confidence is a valid one but walloping a load of kids is hardly likely to boost them too much when walloping Palace didn't.

    It's far too much of a risk in the particular season to be playing any of the best lads.

    Could make that argument for any of the front players really but Fabinho, Henderson and Wijnaldum is probably a bit mad
