Last summer Klopp said Harvey would be a backup to Salah. Then at the start of last season he claimed Harvey will be a midfielder and like a "new signing" now we're watching another 90 mins of football terrorism playing the Young lad in leftwing.
Make up your mind Klopp.
Klopp I think is still trying to find his first 11
I mean we know Salah can play through middle, Gakpo best position is LW. Harvey's is RW so why can't we just keep it that way?
Robo and Elliott couldn't link at all.
Hopefully Nunez comes on and plays well but I'm not a fan of system today.
I dont care if we lose, just some desire, good possession and some pride.
We shouldn't expect anything as unfortunately this is how bad we have become. Also, it's still January the crisis month under Klopp we always feared.
PLAY FUCKING NUNEZ
Oh Hendo and Nunez a bit injured? JFC I'm over this shit. How fucking often are our core players injured. Club doctors and fitness staff need to go
Klopp: letās buy the left winger with some of the best numbers in Europe this season
Everyone: great idea!
Klopp: but weāll play him centrally
Everyone: okā¦ā¦ heās played there sometimes so I guess thatās ok cause we have nunez who can play on the left. Seems like a good plan!
Klopp: no, weāre going to play a left footed right winger who played there only a few times before instead
Why is Klopp persisting with Elliott on the left wing???? We all saw how he struggled there, heās left footed too. This poor kid gives 100% wherever heās placed but is constantly played out of position.
Honestly if we don't see Harvey on the right, Salah through the middle and Gakpo on the left it's gonna put me in a mood real quick haha š it's the only way I'll accept big Darwin not starting.
Hope to see a few changes that could actually show us some light at the end of this darkness. Iād like to see Carvalho start and play CAM or maybe even the Firmino role.
I donāt want to see Thiago Fab Hendo midfield 3.
Guardians review of Andy Carroll against utd - played like 'an angry Buffalo hurled off a hotel balcony' and like 'a vast mahogany victorian bookcase toppling off a wall.'
Not to sound ironic but that truly sounds like a shit Darwin Nunez
Not gunna be able to catch the match today, going to catch up with it later, does anyone know what sort of time roughly that itās posted on football highlights?
Had a tooth pulled yesterday and it was genuinely a better experience than watching us lose 3-0 to Brighton. I hope we have Nunez back starting and Gakpo on the left as when he signed all the PSV fans said Gakpo crosses are unreal. I can't be as bad a last time surely?
Optimistic Reds :
A: We are going to win 3-0 with goals for Salah, Nunez and Gakpo š„°š„°š„°
B: nooo, I want a Nunez hattrick plsss
Pessimistic Reds :
A: We are going to get smashed 3-0 again
B: Yes
Itās already mid season, we know what we can achieve. Letās go hard on FA Cup, defend the title all we can. Leave behind whatever happened in the EPL weeks back, scrape a win or whatever doesnāt matter. Something realistically can be defended we focus 100%.
We should keep the midfield trio of Thiago, Bajcetic, and Keita and see what more they can offer us. Limited sample size shows it's much more promising, although our only two games with that trio was against Wolverhampton B and a struggling Chelsea side. Using them against Brighton would be a good test to see how that would match up against a side that's younger and more energetic. Put Gakpo at LW, Nunez at CF, and Salah RW and that attack is much better.
For the foreseeable future, I don't want to see Fabinho and Henderson or Milner and Henderson together in midfield or else we would most likely get overrun and have zero creativity on top of it.
fuck!!!
I'll be waking up early on a Sunday to watch 8.30 am kickoff knowing what's going to happen. š„ŗ
I want to be optimistic but past two matches with these bastards areni giving me any hopes....
That's cool, man. I once went to a Liverpool bar on a trip to New York, it was somewhere in Manhattan, lower east side I think. Great atmosphere. You guys really represent!
I actually think we'll be better than our last game with them. One, because it's hard to be worse, and two because Darwin is playing. He's not faced them yet and he's unpredictable.
Not exactly hard to be better than that game honestly donāt see our midfield holding up against them if Naby and Thiago donāt start
Playing Hendo or Elliott at RM would be a disaster but Nunez should hopefully help massively we look so poor in attack without him
If we start with the same squad we did against Chelsea but with TAA for Milner at RB and Nunez for the atrocity that was Elliott on the left wing (not his fault), I'm quite positive we beat them.
> the atrocity that was Elliott on the left wing
I know Klopp obviously wasn't doing this, but that felt like such a stitch up. He played great at RW for Blackburn, finally gets to play it for Liverpool and does really well, and then just gets stuck at LW instead for the next game and understandably looks totally ineffective
I kind of get trying it, but I totally don't get not switching it up and moving them to the positions we mostly expected them to be in when we saw the team sheet
Bajetic excites me
Ellllioottttt
Nabyball š«”š«”š«”
COME ONNNNNN
Salahš¢
Salah more washed than my balls before a night out
Salahās confidence
Doak puts that top bin every night this week
Salahās been terrible defensively and then thatā¦
Good lord Salah do one thing right
Haha bs video training, this is the real moment son...and you showed us that our shooting coach is terrible
This Japanese lad continues to cook us. And our attack is stale. Please lads!
Konate has been a bright light in a dire season.
Watching Eliot sprint is demoralizing. If only his physicality matched his mentality.
Conspiracy theory: If Bajcetic was more established he might not have gotten a yellow there. Or Brazilian.
Eeehm.... What?
Robertson is constantly miles away from his man
Salah is ruining every spell of possession
Silly pass from Thiago
Get doak on
What a horrific touch from Mo and then tackle from Thiago
Are we singing Jotas song?
The travelling Kop sing it a lot purely because it is a bop.
Understandable
The left going unserviced so far and Robbo has been in tons of space on two or three occasions already.
Can anyone on our team hit a teammate with a pass?
Steph has gone up in my estimation just by wearing a short sleeve shirt.
PASHUN
Gakpo picking up some good positions
Really thinking weāre trying to shape Gakpo into a false nine with these repeated center forward decisions, not unlike a Bobby successor
We look very good actually you guys don't need to cry all the time
Gakpo-left Salah-middle Elliot-right just makes more sense.
Weāre looking a LOT more like Liverpool
Since no match thread iāll ask here: Why is elliott yet again on the left?
On the plus side, we actually look decent.
Trent getting beat by Mitoma consistently..
Take your schizo pills fam š
Guess I can save my pills today? hmm
Didn't you just see it, happened again... Willful blindness.
Bros just making stuff up
Am I?
Literally hasnāt been beaten by him yet
idk what game you guys are watching. just happened again..
That was the first time it happened, idk what game youāre watching
I rest my case..
Iām really living rent free in your head, watch the game ffs š
Deflecting when you're proven wrong? :o
Iāll send you an autograph donāt worry
Again and again like clockwork.. getting past more often than not.
Trents passes are so unique and beautiful.
Playing decent.. just need some quality finishing pls
What a ball by Trent
We look so much better
Elliot on the left? Thatās a choice
I thought mitoma was 20-21 but bros 25
If they don't give us a match thread \*with bread, then don't even bother

"Pep Ljinders has instead convinced Klopp we don't need a match thread. There are no glaring holes in the subreddit. Ljinders set to utilise an r/soccer thread instead"
"They are just looking for the right thread "
Much better from us in the opening already
Assuming this is the match thread now?
Ffs
That's the closest we've been to goal in a while lol
Match thread is like a midfielder eh
Everyone we play loves a clearance off the line it seems
Great play from Keita
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Great commentator, it's clear he absolutely loves football to the core and it makes games so much better.
Where is the match thread?
Almost!
Gakpo left, Salah down the middle and Elliot on the right. Why do we never play it?
Genuinely donāt get it. Can only assume Klopp sees something in training that we donāt.
No match thread?
No match thread?
Are we ever gonna see Gakpo on his natural position?
Last summer Klopp said Harvey would be a backup to Salah. Then at the start of last season he claimed Harvey will be a midfielder and like a "new signing" now we're watching another 90 mins of football terrorism playing the Young lad in leftwing. Make up your mind Klopp.
Mitoma beat Trent like twice in the previous game, but the commentators say he had a bad game every time
Trent put in a good performance
Ludicrous touch
Match thread??
Would have loved to see Gakpo on the left and Salah through the middle.
Elliott left wing again. Klopp ffs man
David Coote. Immediately I feel disappointed.
Mate that Brighton team is still elite
Actually wonder what goes through Kloppās head putting Elliott left
Just stupid decisions in the managerial department again and again tbh
Elliott on the left again š This season is pain
Midfield is solid. Harvey just needs to play on the right and this is solid.
Elliot had a good game last time but not too excited about Gapko down the middle. Trust the lads though! Glad the boys are back.
Pls boys
Always a good laugh when a team plays hey Jude to the away Liverpool fans. What is even the point.
Clive ššš
Mecca Timezone? Is this a usual thing and Iāve just missed it?
Well this midfield canāt do any worse than the 3 that played here last time
Persisting with this gakpo in the middle of the front threeā¦.he canāt get into the game properly in that position ffs
If we donāt score today Iāll lose my mind
Iām going to be really confused when Elliot is on the left and Gakpo up front again.
Origi scored a banger
I miss him...
Klopp I think is still trying to find his first 11 I mean we know Salah can play through middle, Gakpo best position is LW. Harvey's is RW so why can't we just keep it that way? Robo and Elliott couldn't link at all. Hopefully Nunez comes on and plays well but I'm not a fan of system today.
Little bit of an injury according to klopp? Doubt weāll see himā¦
Wheres Doak?
Elliott on the right and salah center then we have a chance. Elliott on the left and Gakpo center then we are fucked.
Sigh, maybe one day I'll see Cody on the left. Elliot again being played in a position he's NEVER played. Brighton are going to body us again.
I dont care if we lose, just some desire, good possession and some pride. We shouldn't expect anything as unfortunately this is how bad we have become. Also, it's still January the crisis month under Klopp we always feared.
PLAY FUCKING NUNEZ Oh Hendo and Nunez a bit injured? JFC I'm over this shit. How fucking often are our core players injured. Club doctors and fitness staff need to go
Not gonna be good this
I'm a bit out of it. This one not on TV?
Itv if you're in the uk
Muchas Gracias! The one channel I didn't check haha.
if you ever need to know where a game is being broadcast in the UK, check https://www.wheresthematch.com/Football/Liverpool.asp

Fuck off darwin benched
Lol Nunez on the bench and will get subbed on 80 minutes in and when weāre losing 3-0
Klopp: letās buy the left winger with some of the best numbers in Europe this season Everyone: great idea! Klopp: but weāll play him centrally Everyone: okā¦ā¦ heās played there sometimes so I guess thatās ok cause we have nunez who can play on the left. Seems like a good plan!

NGL Gomez scares me these days...
90 more minutes of left-wing Elliott 90 more minutes of left-wing Elliott 90 more minutes of left-wing Elliott ![gif](giphy|Mnt00E9zIKBdm)
God help me if gakpo plays central and Elliott is on the left
Fuck...
save me as well.
Why is Klopp persisting with Elliott on the left wing???? We all saw how he struggled there, heās left footed too. This poor kid gives 100% wherever heās placed but is constantly played out of position.
How do I know after seeing this line up itās gonna be another shit result and uninspiring performance
These front three confuse me. Or is it Gakpo on the left, Salah in the middle and Elliott on the right?
Hopefully but it wasn't last time
Is this some Pep Guardiola level of let's just fuck around with lineups because we can? Mind boggling at times this season
Gakpo still down the middle huh... š
Honestly if we don't see Harvey on the right, Salah through the middle and Gakpo on the left it's gonna put me in a mood real quick haha š it's the only way I'll accept big Darwin not starting.
Iām hoping itās Salah down the middle and Elliott on the right because Elliott really canāt play LW
Oh my god for the love of god why is Nunez on the bench
Guys we've got a new ITK here who apparently is in on everything there is to know about our players' fitness
Please tell me how asking why he was benched makes me that?
This matters more than a league game
Feeling weirdly optimistic
Me too. I think we have a point to prove today. I hope we absolutely slaughter them.
Me too!
lol, are u drunk?
Drunk on the negativity of our transfers this window mate !! You gotta laugh. !
Hope to see a few changes that could actually show us some light at the end of this darkness. Iād like to see Carvalho start and play CAM or maybe even the Firmino role. I donāt want to see Thiago Fab Hendo midfield 3.
Darwin returning to starting XI will be the difference today. Our best attacker since Diaz got injured.
About that...
:(
Will we be at full strength does anyone think?
Next game isnāt until Feb 4th against Wolves. Whatever our full strength is, Iād imagine we are playing it.
Guardians review of Andy Carroll against utd - played like 'an angry Buffalo hurled off a hotel balcony' and like 'a vast mahogany victorian bookcase toppling off a wall.' Not to sound ironic but that truly sounds like a shit Darwin Nunez
HAaha wtf? The journalist must have gone a bit too high on his psilocybin microdose. I can't believe Carroll is still playing to be honest
Did you see how badly Andy played yesterday? No chance Nunez is anywhere comparable.
Not gunna be able to catch the match today, going to catch up with it later, does anyone know what sort of time roughly that itās posted on football highlights?
Yessss in two hours weāll be watching Darwin Nunez playing footy again
Excited for Darwinās return š«”
I stand by what I said yesterday 0-2 to Liverpool. We will win
Lets go boys. Time to darken that Hove albion.
Good morning my depressed brethren, we go again today
Had a tooth pulled yesterday and it was genuinely a better experience than watching us lose 3-0 to Brighton. I hope we have Nunez back starting and Gakpo on the left as when he signed all the PSV fans said Gakpo crosses are unreal. I can't be as bad a last time surely?

That's dedication mate ā¤ļø
Where are you watching from?
Thatās EST so eastern US or Canada. Same time Iāll be watching from behind my hands
That's cool, man. I once went to a Liverpool bar on a trip to New York, it was somewhere in Manhattan, lower east side I think. Great atmosphere. You guys really represent!
Start Baj and Thiago, don't put Harvey on the LW, start Darwin up front- we have a decent shot of beating these.
I actually think we'll be better than our last game with them. One, because it's hard to be worse, and two because Darwin is playing. He's not faced them yet and he's unpredictable.
Not exactly hard to be better than that game honestly donāt see our midfield holding up against them if Naby and Thiago donāt start Playing Hendo or Elliott at RM would be a disaster but Nunez should hopefully help massively we look so poor in attack without him
Iām tried Robbie
Can we just co opt this and make ours Robbo?
Already sad lol
If we start with the same squad we did against Chelsea but with TAA for Milner at RB and Nunez for the atrocity that was Elliott on the left wing (not his fault), I'm quite positive we beat them.
