Thank goodness we have 3 away games and then the international break. Surely not many of our players will be playing for their countries.

JK suggested the other day that he would be against allowing his players to go if it meant they'd have to quarantine coming back. He said clubs pay the wages and have to take priority. Unless much changes I doubt they'll be going, if that's the case.

I heard the other day that all South American matches had been postponed. We don't need Fab going and picking up another injury!

Too right - having internationals at the moment with so many countries having travel restrictions is bloody stupid anyway.

So glad tonight's home game isn't actually at bloody Anfield!

LIVERPOOL TEAM NEWS

Team to face RB Leipzig: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Mane, Salah, Jota.

Subs: Adrian H. Davies, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, Origi, D. Davies. R. Williams, N. Williams.

Hopefully Fab in front of the defence will stiffen it up a bit.

Fab in front of the defence is what I would have liked to have seen in the last couple of games. Glad Klopp has made the move.

Hopefully this will allow Wijnaldum and Thiago to venture a bit further forward.

I am just glad we are playing a side who none of my friends or acquaintances support !

hoho - you missed Mario

Apparently if we lose 3-1 tonight we go out on away goals, despite both games being played in the same stadium, neither at home.

It has to happen doesn't it. VAR for their third.

Sorry mate computer game characters don’t count.

Don't want to speak to soon but have seen more positive play in 6 minutes than the last 2 games.

Thiago already pushing much further up field.

I wonder if Klopp has been playing Championship Manager recently? Seems like he has practiced a new 4-1-2-3 formation on his computer because remember, it would take ages and ages to play something new in such short space of time.

[NRS]

WOW!!! A threatening corner from us!

[jammy-git]

How did we fk that one up?!

It's of course possible to do 1-1-8 if Klopp wanted to. The issue would be time to practice it and get it working well...

We also have Fab finally able to play in his DM roll now. I think it's the first time since Kabak has joined us he has been available?

[JeffreyD]

Unusual from Salah there - never even looked like scoring.

Much better with the ball so far.

No idea! Long ball worked though.

I disagree. Completely normal for Salah. It was an "easy" chance. He'll score from the corner flag now.
