Liverpool FC - Load Up ???

[Stemania]

Yep, Lovren out, and not even on the bench.

Edit: "due to a viral infection".

Yep, Lovren out, and not even on the bench.

So what is that twitter account?

Thanks for sharing that news, I guess I might have taken Lovren if you had not shared it here.

[Stemania]

I posted it to murf before.

[murf]

Karius rumour - true
Klavan rumour - true but only because Lovren has a 'viral infection'
Firmino, Matip and Milner rumours - garbage

Liverpool team: Karius, Clyne, Matip, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Coutinho, Mane, Firmino.

Substitutes: Mignolet, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Grujic, Origi, Sturridge.

So, only a virus away from what I and others were predicting

[cesc408]

Hoping my double up of Firmino and Mane can really pay off!!

[Notned]

Hope Firm wins the battle of the point sharers today!

[Finisher1]

Klavan rumour - true but only because Lovren has a 'viral infection'

...

Well maybe he knew about that "viral infection" or had heard some rumours/news from inside the team about Lovren not starting for some reason?

Or are you suggesting he just got lucky with that Lovren rumour?

[murf]

Got lucky? The rumour, as reported on FISO, was that Klavan was 'a threat to Lovren'. That is only true if it was Steplococci Klavanii that downed him

The actual rumour was simply that Klavan was going to start today - the twitter account simply posted the correct lineup yesterday. The twittersphere/FFS/reportings here simply wrote that info with the implied assumption that it was a dropping because dropping seemed more likely than a hidden injury/illness (which Klopp could just have well have reported in his presser).

Firmino blank is sickening considering the huge scores for coutinho and Lalana ffs

[cesc408]

Completely agree. He was hardly involved it was all the others.

[yttod1010]

Completely agree. He was hardly involved it was all the others.

Did nothing which is surprising he's normally all over it ,I couldn't believe what I was seeing ...I may have to downgrade him to Lalana to solve my keeper crisis

Edit very knee jerky I know but I'm raging

I'm sticking, but if i was to swap it would be for Coutinho.

[Weisenwolf]

I can't ignore this, gotta get one, can afford whoever I like but who?

Whoever you choose it will be the wrong one that's how I roll

[blahblah]

Lalla is knocking up 5% every half an hour......

[tarkens]

im sticking too, last time he rewarded my faith with a brace against Leicester, i expect the same against United

[From4corners]

I'm still waiting for my Sturridge haul.. at least he got an assist today.

[SFC_Fan]

Getting Lallana in this week for Mirallas. Will need to be a -4 though, considering a Liverpool defender as well.

[Weisenwolf]

KDB may take my FT; more hits....

[Britinus]

Not quite sure why everyone is favouring Mane and/or Firmino when Courtino is cheaper, has scored more points with less playing time and I think takes the corners. Maybe he'll be rotated but not even sure about that either.

Oh why didn't I listen to myself, went for Firmino

[tommyk7]

At least I had Mane along with Firmino's 2 pointer. And Lovren. Not changing anything; Hull were down to 10 men, Milner got two pens whih is rare, Lallana's huge game was an outlier.

But I hate Coutinho. Selfish player. He had Mane and Firmino utterly wide open on both flanks on one play in the box and he shoots it straight at Marshall.

[I Am Ville]

Lallana in for Barkley, or give the lad one more week with a good home fixture?

[ZeroRemorse]

Mane (c) here. Happy enough. Looks like scoring every game. X factor player. Will score 170+ this season.

[bigcliff2]

I can't ignore this, gotta get one, can afford whoever I like but who?

I still think Mane is the safest pick but he's also the dearest

[Resonare]

Firmino blank is sickening considering the huge scores for coutinho and Lalana ffs

What makes it even more sick is that we can't even drop him because he'll probably bag a brace next if we do

[Blue Fire]

Lallana in for Barkley, or give the lad one more week with a good home fixture?

Thinking of doing the same

[Football Hero]

Lallana in for Barkley, or give the lad one more week with a good home fixture?

I worry about Barkley getting dropped now. He started against Norwich in the EFL, and he started against Bournemouth. Both games they lost. Not only that but his end product has been poor, particularly when you realise that his goal against Spurs was a bit of a fluke really.

Koeman has been disappointed with Barkley but I think kept on starting him because Everton's results were still there, (4 wins and a draw vs Spurs in the first 5 games was a brilliant start results-wise so it was hard for Koeman to not go with pretty much the same starting 11 each game, injuries dependent of course).

Now that results have started to dip slightly, maybe that is all that Koeman needs to bench Barkley for a game or two over the next few weeks so that he can ''rediscover his best form''.

I'm very much contemplating Barkley -> Firmino for a -4. It sucks in some ways as the next fixture for Barkley is good, but then the fixture after that is Man City away, which is as bad as fixtures come.

[BravoT]

Had Firmino for both their opening day win at Arsenal and yesterday's game - so that's 9 goals with no involvement. How?! I'd of course already shipped him out before his one haul against Leicester. He's a frustrating one to predict but I'm not making the same mistake again!

[snakzz]

Is lallana nailed with can back?
