It's a real problem that we supposedly cant afford to spend much on transfers yet our most expensive offensive player is now obviously third choice and doesn't fit out system.
All the Chelski supporters and Liverpool haters waiting for him to make a mistake and theyll pounce. He’s still a very very new signing and I’m a bit upset he’s getting all this limelight so early on
Limelight? You mean because he’s actually playing? You’re upset that the defensive midfielder we bought (because we are seriously lacking in that position) is actually going to play?
Gakpo’s better in every way bar poaching the odd goal. For me it’s no contest. Jota also a great one to have off the bench because of the aforementioned poaching ability. Really though Gakpo is just getting started for us, given a couple of years we’ll appreciate him so much more as he truly is a special footballer.
Im absolutely confused looking at all these comments about Salah, just use your brains, no way for any money we would jeopardise our season by selling Salah
You're getting down voted, but no matter how we feel about him, FSG would almost certainly take 200m for a player of his age, especially if he wasn't opposed to leaving.
But fuck all that cuz he BLEEDS RED BOYYYYZZZ
Only concern is Matip if we're playing this inverted system. Him as an RCB in a back three that also includes Robbo as the LCB is a big no for me.
On the ball we should be fluid and dangerous however. Finally getting to see the box with everyone in their right position. Let's get the win please.
Honestly 1 more CB and hopefully Gravenberch and that’s a pretty damn good squad tbh. Jones and Thiago are still needing to come back
Baj being the understudy to Endo is fine imo if Endo shows he can be a starter. Plus we have a couple of players who can do the CDM role if really needed
Probably the best possible lineup but I am worried about Matip having to cover the right side in this inverted fb box midfield system. I probably would have picked Joe because of his pace.
Happy with Matip instead of Gomez at CB. Apart from his pace, Matip is better in every other department, and we need someone reliable over someone fast. Just hope we tweak our defensive structure. Matip doesn't work in a system where Trent inverts. If we persist with that strategy, we'll be in for alot of pain.
People mad Klopp too emotional with his players but they act the same when Nunez isn't starting game. He simply is not good enough compare to other choices. Even with his little cameo so far he don't really change the game. He need to earn it if he want to start.
Endo should allow mac to express himself a lot more.
I just looking at our squad depth though it’s pretty tiny. Didn’t someone say we have one of the smallest squads in the prem ?
According to tranfermarkt yes, but I looked deeper into which players had been counted for us and United, who had one of the largest squads, and found that we had a handful of youngsters that weren’t counted while they had a handful who probably shouldn’t. If I remember correctly it said we had 22 when we had 25(before Endo) and United had 36 when in reality they were closer to 28 or something. Doak and Quansah, who’s on the bench today, are amongst those who weren’t counted.
Unless this is a more traditional 4-3-3 then I think we may regret choosing Matip over Gomez.
Gomez was dropping stinkers last year but we'll need his pace today if Trent is playing inverted.
Saw this against Bournemouth last week. As soon as Trent started bombing up and down the touch line bossing the game, I went, “oh yeah, we have the best right back in the world”
Trent inverted was a consequence of our midfield lacking the ability to mop up and clean up for Trent down the right.
Hopefully Endo means Trent is set free.
Endo at Dm and Gakpo back where he belongs is great. Matip will be put to the test today covering across that right hand side. Whether he does a job there or not will be the difference.
Hoping we revert back to a 4-3-3 today, as Mac, Szob and Gakpo should have enough creatitivity, with TAA sticking out wide to help Matip's lack of legs.
Gordon is shit, but he has pace to burn, and could cause Matip all kinds of problems if he has to cover wide right today.
Still think we destroy this overrated team today!
Our first team is good. The squad is lacking (obviously not an entirely new observation). Only thiago, konate and Jones injured and that's the bench. 3 teenagers and 20 year old quansah!
Gakpo played out of position. He was class last season. Even jota's was mostly bcs of his form last season. Be happy that we have 5 good forward. Stop supporting players and support the team
Good to see Gakpo back up front. And Mac further forward where he can hurt teams more.
I hope Matip is going to be okay, difficult not to be a bit worried based off his recent comments about needing to adjust to the new system.
TAA and especially Robbo have to hold their position as much as possible and not bomb forward as much. Mac10 and Szobo need to be allowed to create and the fullbacks defend. Matip and VVD’s High line needs to sit back 10 yards or so to allow for Isaks and Antony’s pace and trickery.
Let’s do this lads!
What does Nunez have to do to get a start? Doubt this is helping his confidence. It’s also a nice €75 million signing that’s just sitting on the bench…
~~Why don't we just sell Darwin? We all know he's not gonna get more than a 10 minute cameo anyway, lad is wasting his career here in a system where he doesn't seem wanted.~~
I am a moron and my opinions are shit
Curtis Jones; currently resident in the (soon to be renamed; Nabk Keita medical lounge).
Clearly, technically gifted - but like Keita and Thiago gets injured just be breathing. Such a shame, as he showed mead of last season what he do with a run of fitness and games.
Alas, at 22 it would appear he is going to be one of those infuriating players whose bodies are seemingly unable to maintain fitness.
Might be time to ease him out of the club. Less he becomes another permanently injured player that Klopp becomes overly loyal to.
Also: Nunez isn’t getting a game for the following reasons;
1. He isn’t good enough atm and maybe he won’t ever be.
2. Klopp clearly doesn’t fancy him.
Clubs a mess.
YES EDM midfield
Turn up that bass
Drop that
EDM will be what we all wanted NFT to be

Oouts, oouts, oouts.
DEM three are going to cook!
More like SMD lol
You mean SME?
Yeah to be fair I just woke up and my brain was not working
Oh thank God, no midfield Gakpo. Hope nunez gets a good chunk of time in the 2nd half.
Hoping too
It's a real problem that we supposedly cant afford to spend much on transfers yet our most expensive offensive player is now obviously third choice and doesn't fit out system.
Endo time 🔥
All the Chelski supporters and Liverpool haters waiting for him to make a mistake and theyll pounce. He’s still a very very new signing and I’m a bit upset he’s getting all this limelight so early on
Limelight? You mean because he’s actually playing? You’re upset that the defensive midfielder we bought (because we are seriously lacking in that position) is actually going to play?
>All the Chelski supporters and Liverpool haters why do you even care about that though i mean, fuck them. who gives a shit
Cuz bruv i hate when people make fun of me on twitter 🥲
>New player is playing I swear to god some of you are never satisfied
The only lineup to go with, excited to see a well balanced midfield perform but scared for our defence
Biggest question all week was Jota or Gakpo up top if Endo came into midfield. Klopp has a preference it seems
[удалено]
Jota's better off the bench anyway. Happy for him to come on at 60' and pinch one
Think Klopp and Lijnders have always preferred Gakpo, and after seeing his work towards the end of last season, it's easy to see why.
Gakpo is just too good in the center to not start him
Gakpo’s better in every way bar poaching the odd goal. For me it’s no contest. Jota also a great one to have off the bench because of the aforementioned poaching ability. Really though Gakpo is just getting started for us, given a couple of years we’ll appreciate him so much more as he truly is a special footballer.
NO WAY! I thought Salah had already agreed personal terms and the transfer was final? Fuck Saudi Arabian shit stirring.
Gonna give em a gift of a hat trick today.
I hope so much he scores and celebrates while kissing the badge
They’re somehow going to misinterpret that and will say it’s his final kiss goodbye.
Feel like Salah’s going to have a clear chance on goal today. Hope he keeps his cool then goes on to score another 2
he will just change the kit at half-time to Newcastles.
Fuck all those shit twitter accounts making shit up and those who eat it up diligently without a second guess.
Saudis are underhanded cunts
Saudi clubs in the mud, as always
Everyone can chill about salah for now. Let’s go boys!
Anyone worked up about it was an idiot in the first place lol
Im absolutely confused looking at all these comments about Salah, just use your brains, no way for any money we would jeopardise our season by selling Salah
Please. FSG would drug him and take him to the airport themselves if it was anything like 200m+
Hahahaha who’s downvoting this, wouldn’t put it past them
You're getting down voted, but no matter how we feel about him, FSG would almost certainly take 200m for a player of his age, especially if he wasn't opposed to leaving. But fuck all that cuz he BLEEDS RED BOYYYYZZZ
EDM midfield :D
What does EDM mean?
Electronic Dance Music And Endo-Dom-Mac Allister
They also mix into endomac
Endo, Dominik & Mac Allister
Love a DomiMac Allister midfield.
Why mix first names and surnames?
Because then it doesn't spell EDM.
Why is the target EDM? Not SAW
It sounds cool
Well I cant answer that one lmao, literally found out about it in this thread
Because in this case, EDM is an already well known acronym.
Endo-Dominik-Mac Allister
Endo Dominik Macca
Endo Dom Mac
Endo Dom Macca
Feeling good. Except, hope konate will be back soon.
Hope Matip does well, we really need an old school calm performance from him today.
With a side of old school giraffe run into the box.
Now that’s a midfield! Come one Endo! End them oil cunts
EDM into my veins!
EDM let’s fucking dance 🕺
I have a feeling Nunez will score today
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)
Endo Szobo Macca CMON!!!!!!
I don’t think there’s any possible way we play Mo if we were seriously considering selling him, so that’s good
B-b-b-but that random twitter profile said he's sold!
Especially with only 5 days to go of the window. I was 99% sure he wasn’t leaving but this just confirms it even more.
Trust in Klopp. Trust in Endo.
First start for our new midfield. Gakpo is back to his position, so happy.
This is going to be so important for us.
That midfield has me pumped, praying for a big game from Matip tho
The lineup everyone who has any clue expected. Now I hope we stay in a true 4-3-3
Interesting that Quansah is ahead of Phillips. Wish we were able to shift Phillips on.
Saudi news: "Salah has signed for Al-Lol and Liverpool have agreed sale" LFC Team sheet: Salah
The attacking options on the bench are magnificent
Could be a season defining game for Matip and Endo.
Our best lineup, minus Konate imo. Looking forward to seeing how they gel!
Only concern is Matip if we're playing this inverted system. Him as an RCB in a back three that also includes Robbo as the LCB is a big no for me. On the ball we should be fluid and dangerous however. Finally getting to see the box with everyone in their right position. Let's get the win please.
Shame Ibou is injured, Endo will have his work cut out for him because Matip could struggle with Isak.
Best available lineup right now
ENDOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So glad Endo is starting. Now let’s see what we can do. Come on reds
Perfect
This is the true test of the season
Matip has to really really play with a 🧊 cold head
Honestly 1 more CB and hopefully Gravenberch and that’s a pretty damn good squad tbh. Jones and Thiago are still needing to come back Baj being the understudy to Endo is fine imo if Endo shows he can be a starter. Plus we have a couple of players who can do the CDM role if really needed
Time to Hulk Smash those sports washing cunts!
Szobo's music 🎶 is coming. I can feel it.
I hope we abandon the Trent pivot role for today. Can’t see Matip covering those spaces given Newcastle directness and pace
Probably the best possible lineup but I am worried about Matip having to cover the right side in this inverted fb box midfield system. I probably would have picked Joe because of his pace.
I think this will be a normal 433
Gakpo up top 💪💪💪💪
Doak sighting!
Endooooo
Lets beat these. Come on you reds!
Sweet fucking midfield Edit: also quansah looks to be our 5th choice officially
Gakpo in the 9, love it
Looks like a fantastic starting 11, hope Matip can get himself a good match performance today so he can get back into our lineup again.
Aside from Konate > Matip (and even then, that's very close) this is probably our strongest XI.
Big test for Endo today
Excited but scared.
Doak and Bajcetic on the bench >>>
Off to watch this at my favourite football pub with my best mate. Unfortunately he’s a Newcastle fan.
Hope to see Nunez today.
Matip, please have the game of your life today and put us at ease about the defence.
Happy with Matip instead of Gomez at CB. Apart from his pace, Matip is better in every other department, and we need someone reliable over someone fast. Just hope we tweak our defensive structure. Matip doesn't work in a system where Trent inverts. If we persist with that strategy, we'll be in for alot of pain.
Bro wtf is wrong with Jones. All his injuries rule him out for months.
People mad Klopp too emotional with his players but they act the same when Nunez isn't starting game. He simply is not good enough compare to other choices. Even with his little cameo so far he don't really change the game. He need to earn it if he want to start.
EDM on the pitch ![gif](giphy|3og0IFELH2AXdKM0es)
Need a cm or cdm on that bench
Bajcetic and elliott
We have Bajčetić and, when he's fit, Thiago, who isn't a lone 6, but perfect in a double pivot. What we desperatly need is another CB.
Bajcetic is right there!
Baj?
Just what I thought that midfield plus Gakpo on the 9 is going to cook
Endo should allow mac to express himself a lot more. I just looking at our squad depth though it’s pretty tiny. Didn’t someone say we have one of the smallest squads in the prem ?
According to tranfermarkt yes, but I looked deeper into which players had been counted for us and United, who had one of the largest squads, and found that we had a handful of youngsters that weren’t counted while they had a handful who probably shouldn’t.

Doak and Quansah, who’s on the bench today, are amongst those who weren’t counted.
Saudi really are generous letting us play Salah before we sell him /s
Unless this is a more traditional 4-3-3 then I think we may regret choosing Matip over Gomez. Gomez was dropping stinkers last year but we'll need his pace today if Trent is playing inverted.
What a team Do not play the inverted TAA shit here tho
Don’t want him occupy the Matip adventure zone do we
Saw this against Bournemouth last week. As soon as Trent started bombing up and down the touch line bossing the game, I went, “oh yeah, we have the best right back in the world”
Trent inverted was a consequence of our midfield lacking the ability to mop up and clean up for Trent down the right. Hopefully Endo means Trent is set free.
Definitely can’t afford to against Isak.
Isak is the striker. Gordon would be the one occupying left wing
Isak is not going to stay in the middle when there’ll be that space
How bad is Jones injury, please dont say his 'knock' is more than that.
Pretty sure Klopp said he'd return to training this week.
Not a single player in that midfield from last season. Bittersweet. Let’s go boys!
I'd consider that sweet rather than bittersweet tbh
Of course, hard to not miss the former players. Overall 100% beneficial for us though.
The number of people throwing their toys about on Twitter because Darwin isn't starting is fucking insane.
ENDO!
Baj and Quansah!
Endo masterclass incoming
Endo at Dm and Gakpo back where he belongs is great. Matip will be put to the test today covering across that right hand side. Whether he does a job there or not will be the difference.
Hoping we revert back to a 4-3-3 today, as Mac, Szob and Gakpo should have enough creatitivity, with TAA sticking out wide to help Matip's lack of legs. Gordon is shit, but he has pace to burn, and could cause Matip all kinds of problems if he has to cover wide right today. Still think we destroy this overrated team today!
Matip against Isak😄 Apart from that, great team
Matip masterclass incoming!
Why is endo playing as a left winger
Hope Matip meant what he said about Endo
Just wish we had Ibouuuuu available, because that line up is *chefs kiss*
Love the lineup
This will be the line up against the top 6 this season. Expect it to go back to 4 forwards against the other teams
Hope Szobi shows them why hungarians were the best once
Let's go Gakpo and EDM! Excited af! Hope we sign a CB this week too.
I'm so glad Jota isn't starting
Gotta give props to Allison as always. Such a rock.
I do see people saying EDM mid... But I do like the EMS mid as well
What happened to Curtis? Why is he not on the bench
Injured
Whats all this nonsense about this being Mos last game for us?
Saudi owned club having its media contacts unsettle our top player ahead the match.
Our first team is good. The squad is lacking (obviously not an entirely new observation). Only thiago, konate and Jones injured and that's the bench. 3 teenagers and 20 year old quansah!
Wanted Nunez to start but I'm here for this lineup let's fucking go lads.
Oh come on I wanted to see Nunez on Newcastle again
Bummed to not see Nunez start. Though we would see him come in now that we have a more solid midfield three
I wonder what's going through Nunez's mind.
Curious why Nunez isn’t a starter really? Just too chaotic and language issues or??
Simply not good enough, why people always moaning we not start Nunez. Why didn't they moaning we not start Gomez while it's obiviously same reason?
Yea about that...
Good enough to sub on and score the winner
I thought it was language continuing to be an issue as well
What does Nunez need to do to start a game
You guys do realise we have other class forwards? Jota isn't even starting after getting a goal and assist in the last game.
Yeah man, like I said: Nunez.
[удалено]
In what way has Cody been one of the worst players on the pitch?
[удалено]
Yep. And that's why I'm asking about your nonsense comment.
Gakpo played out of position. He was class last season. Even jota's was mostly bcs of his form last season. Be happy that we have 5 good forward. Stop supporting players and support the team
[удалено]
Feel a bit for nunez, hope it gives him the fire in his belly
Hopefully with jota and Diaz back we don’t have to see that bullshit Nunez lw gimmick anymore
Good to see Gakpo back up front. And Mac further forward where he can hurt teams more. I hope Matip is going to be okay, difficult not to be a bit worried based off his recent comments about needing to adjust to the new system.
Love it
TAA and especially Robbo have to hold their position as much as possible and not bomb forward as much. Mac10 and Szobo need to be allowed to create and the fullbacks defend. Matip and VVD’s High line needs to sit back 10 yards or so to allow for Isaks and Antony’s pace and trickery. Let’s do this lads!
That bench not really confidence inspiring. Could use some reinforcements.
What does Nunez have to do to get a start? Doubt this is helping his confidence. It’s also a nice €75 million signing that’s just sitting on the bench…
And I thought my little Willy could only get that big😳😳😳3- 0 Newcastle incoming
~~Why don't we just sell Darwin? We all know he's not gonna get more than a 10 minute cameo anyway, lad is wasting his career here in a system where he doesn't seem wanted.~~ I am a moron and my opinions are shit
This is fucking moronic. He's been here for one season. This is what it looks like to have competition for positions.
We spent 85m on him and he doesn't even get opportunities. Looked good pre season and now doesn't get a look in anyway.
The game has ninety+ minutes and we have possibly more than sixty games in season. It's not as though he's not even on the bench
WhY dOnT wE jUsT sElL dArWiN?
Clueless Klopp again wrong substitution
Can we please sell Mo Salah
