Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Fabinho, Matip, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Jones, Jota, Firmino, Mane

 

Stronger than it could have been, for sure. Central midfield will be the major concern without Henderson driving them on, Keita can hopefully pick up from where he was earlier in the season.

[Chewylegs]

That's definitely better than expected. Just hope Fabinho is back to full fitness.  I feel we need a Mane super show tonight.

[Oh Danny Boy]

Not too bad. Desperately needed Fabinho back 

[Chewylegs]

Thiago still injured? Is this going to be a regular 'Lallana' style thing?

[JamesTW]

More an unfortunate thing, out with Covid and then that bellend trying to end his career in the derby

[Chewylegs]

Good point. I wasn't sure he'd picked up another knock since.

He has been back in training but with the number of games coming up there is no use in rushing him back.

[DukeOfEarlsfield]

A little bit concerned about that midfield. Not by any of the players individually, I just don’t think they’ll gel together effectively.

[Chewylegs]

It's working so far, which is good news.

[CheekyLee]

Well, so far we've been far better even with the new-look team. After the unluckiest start in history, injuries and VAR-wise, that we're still even near the top tells you how good we are.

 

And Jonny Evans knows it!

[ryodi]

Lucky Barnes missed a sitter. 

[CheekyLee]

That was utterly delicious! 

[Chewylegs]

Lovely lovely cross from Robbo!

[gospvg]

Great first half, we could & should have have scored more
Same again second half please

Happy to be proved completely wrong.

Keita and Jones have been brilliant so far. Tielemans, Maddison and Mendy haven't had a chance to get anywhere near the ball, the forwards and midfield have swarmed upon them at every opportunity.

Some of this is also down to Leicester playing everything long, which has actually meant our own midfield haven't had to do as much as we all feared. Jones could probably go looking for the ball even more, because Keita and Gini aren't struggling to find the ball at all.

[ryodi]

Keita injured again. 

[bradigor]

We've started playing within ourselves a bit. Just need to see out this period of pressure.

Bobby

[CheekyLee]

What curse is Firmino under? That was ridiculous.

[bradigor]

Is that the first 0mm over the line no goal? My word!

[Chewylegs]

Jota just effortlessly glides past players, he is awesome to watch.

[ryodi]

Trust Firmino to score his most difficult chance in the game.

[bradigor]

Bobby

[Chewylegs]

Bobby! 

[Stig]

YES BOBBY!!!

 

Made up for him.

[CheekyLee]

[gospvg]

We all love Bobby 

[bradigor]

That was piss easy tonight.
