Not sure what Klopp will do. Has said there will be 'changes' and confirmed Mignolet and Moreno start. How many more??
Well they'll have to play TAA with no Clyne and also VVD and Lovren with no Gomes or Matip. Possibly
Midnolet, TAA, VVD, Matip, Moreno, Lallana, Keita, Fabinho,Shaq-bob square pants, Origi, Sturridge
Curtis Jones or Ki-Jana Hoever rumoured to be playing at RB tomorrow night. Hoever the next big thing in the LFC academy.

Milner can cover RB and Fabinho CB. So TAA and one of Lovren/VVD should be rested. Kloppo was also just raving about a 16 year old Dutch wonderkid Hoever that plays RBs so maybe he comes in.

My mass purging of Manchester City players for Liverpool type one's is not as yet paying dividends and may not for a while. :(

Been a 4 day gap and next is 5 days so less hectic and less need for rests. With Matip and Gomez fairly close to a return I could see a CB being risked with a possible back 4 of Milner Jones Lovren-or-VVD Moreno. No point blooding kids without established players alongside. Too much pressure and responsibility.

He didn't look very inspired by the game and flittered about without doing anything meaningful until he scored so happy with that if nothing else!

The Solanke money will come in handy now the Coutinho money's been used up. Think they need an experienced right back to take the pressure off TAA and an up and coming left back to give Robo a rest once in a while. Re tomorrow Lovren without VVD alongside him is an accident waiting to happen. Don't think I'll be bringing in any Liverpool defenders for that game

Think from my calculations the Coutinho money is now used up the the Solanke money will come in handy.
They just loaned out an experienced RB in Clyne though. I reckon Klopp will just use Gomez and Milner there as backups. Moreno remains backup LB for now. But ya come summer another backup FB is needed.

Origi is for sale £15-25m generating some interest so that could be another fat sale incoming this window. Could use another elite forward to help spell the front 3.

A small rise for me so far this week,
And another set of games where I ignored the itchy trigger finger.

I've not done any transfers since the Liverpool v Manchester City game and have slipped about 400 places. :shock:

Sounds right. I've made 2 transfers and stayed the same. Terrible week transfer wise. Made 5 in my best team!!!! Intend not to make any over the next three weeks. Must keep thinking ' only transfer if one of my big hitters is predicted to miss 3 weeks). Somehow I don't think it's going to be that easy

Surely you're not going to sit on a big hitter who is predicted to miss two games (or even just one in some circumstances) as a predicted two is often more. Better to ignore any "hunch" tinkering. I find that whenever I waste transfers it's usually a result of thinking too short term where the transfers don't involve big hitters. The Cup is a source of transfer temptation where hindsight suggests that the majority of transfers weren't justified. This weekend I made a total of two transfers in my 14 teams. I'm already regretting one of those but I'm certainly not regretting any of the supposed Cup focussed opportunities that I've missed such as Lukaku, Jesus, Morata, etc.

If you want to become a top, top club you can’t deny any game and we can’t drop any competition.
We are doing to play the FA Cup game (against Rotherham) like a final and that’s going to happen.
If we win, we go through, if we lose we are out of the second most important competition in England.
I prefer to be in this position (still in all competitions) and we have enough squad.
@DeBruyneKev and @IlkayGuendogan are back and we are going to rotate and everybody is going to play.
That is the only way.....

....so, does Klopp feel the same way - or do Liverpool concentrate on the league?

Klopp has a tendency to underestimate weaker opposition anyway so with the league/ champions league a priority I think he'll find selecting a weaker team no problem

I agree with what you say Striker but when you've made as many transfers as I have it's gone beyond ignoring just the hunch tinkering. Granted Three games is a bit wishful thinking. Reckon I'll be pressing that trigger if there's a whiff of more than a week in reality.
