There is a middle ground along to go along with all the variables of this season. Liverpool where handed a gift, a tough game against a team that are in great form that already hammered us replaced with a reserve team and a practice match.

We could basically of had a winter break and get minutes into the squad players and kids while resting the lads that have played nearly every game.

Long enough break coming up now between games

Happy with that XI. Onto the next round.

Fromvert · 08-01-2021 08:40PM

The only reason Fabinho should be starting is if Klopp is going to now give Williams that spot beside him at CB (while Matip is out) and wants them to play as much as they can together.

This is a game in name only. No fans, no first team players, no coaches, playing children. A hard training game against our own 23's gives you the same, a training game against the second 11 a better option.

Revenge for what Villa did to Liverpool's youth team last season

Looking forward to seeing how Louie Barry gets on against us tonight, very highly rated young striker by all accounts.

That's idiotic if it came into the thinking and Villa played a lot of squad players that day.

Osmosis Jones · 08-01-2021 08:46PM

Think our injuries are still pretty telling considering only 3 of these lads started in the 7-2 vs Villa

He may have had this team in mind not going to change his plans in a days notice

~Rebel~ · 08-01-2021 08:48PM

Quite irritated by parts of that team to be honest.

One aspect of it I understand is playing Mo and Sadio - we're not scoring goals, so I can totally understand trying to kickstart them in an easier game.

But Gini, Henderson and Fabinho I cannot really understand. There's just no justification for them to be starting this game imo. They're too important, and already hugely over-played as it is. Meanwhile senior players on the bench like Shaqiri and Ox could really do with time on the pitch.

Agent Coulson · 08-01-2021 08:50PM

Well there we go

We want 10 we want 10

ShamoBuc · 08-01-2021 08:51PM

Nice cross, nice goal. Glad there wasnt a celebration.

facehugger99 · 08-01-2021 08:51PM

No doubt we'll have an overeager young lad fly into a tackle on one of our players

Absolutely baffling selection.

Cartman78 · 08-01-2021 08:51PM

If Mane and Salah can get their groove back then this will be worthwhile.

Otherwise it's just a glorified training session

Osmosis Jones · 08-01-2021 08:52PM

I'm happy as long as this spells our intent for the remainder of the cup, I'm not particularly invested in the domestic trophies but it'd be nice to win one.

Shown more class than the Villa players did

Lol.

citytillidie · 08-01-2021 08:55PM

Shoulder to Shoulder is now a free kick

Agent Coulson · 08-01-2021 08:56PM

Gini would have scored that for Holland

Osmosis Jones · 08-01-2021 08:57PM

Think the only players I'm not happy to see start are Fab and Gini, but regarding Fab I understand it if the plan is to play Williams next to him against United.

facehugger99 · 08-01-2021 08:58PM

Martin Keown is such a terrible co-commentator.

Zak Flaps · 08-01-2021 08:59PM

Is it not 2-0 yet?

SlickRic · 08-01-2021 09:00PM

Salah and Mané on the pitch to get some form back. Great move. And Mané already getting a goal.

But the Hendo and Fabinho picks in particular are mad. Absolutely mad.

Then again, if we know one thing, it's that this team hates a break. So giving loads a game this week might not be the stupidest thing.

Agent Coulson · 08-01-2021 09:04PM

Just noticed Adrian doesn't even make the bench he must be really on the outs.

08-01-2021 09:09PM

Whoever is in control of the crowd sound on BT should be shot with balls of his own poo at dawn....

FIFA sounds better....

Fitz* · 08-01-2021 09:10PM

Take off Mane at 2-0, whichever comes first. I don't care if he says he is ok or not, it's too risky.

Villa kids have dug in very well since the goal in fairness to them. Good save by the keeper there too.

citytillidie · 08-01-2021 09:15PM

Still trying to walk it in to net.

razorblunt · 08-01-2021 09:16PM

The villa keeper looks like he has a pencil stuck behind his ear.

martyos121 · 08-01-2021 09:17PM

We’re at 87% possession here, and honestly I thought it was more than that.

Osmosis Jones · 08-01-2021 09:17PM

Fabinho with more of an eye for goal than the actual midfielders, would've liked Hendo to hit that first time instead of trying to find a cross
