With all the anticipation regards to CL QF against Manchester City.
If you may tell us Ed 001 (As you know more of tactics) you expect us to tackle both the legs, with what lineups and with Everton in the midst?

{Ed001's Note - there is no way of knowing as Klopp will be guided by sports scientists with regard to who is fit and fresh. I do expect Can and Lovren to play midweek, if both are fit enough.}

Few big decisions to make especially in midfield Can in for Hendo as he seems to be struggling with fitness and do we with go with Ox. Silva didn’t start the league game in Jan did he? He is such a good player makes them tick and got a bad feeling Sterling is due a good performance at Anfield . and Sane is on fire
God I’ve morphed into Negativewalter .

Well am absolutely crapping myself about Tuesday. I really like Trent he’s a good kid but has lots to learn. Am just worried about him getting singled out in the game. It will only take a few mistakes and we will be out the cup. He’s getting no help from who ever plays next to him. He must know silver and sane are going to be gunning for him the hole game. Am just praying klopp has come up with a game plan to counter this.

I'm more worried about City on wed night Longthing. Tue night is a double bill of Emerdale Farm so no need to crap yourself over that mate.

Screw it. We haven't been in a quarter final of the champions league in ages. I obviously desperately want to win but I'm going to enjoy the whole thing regardless.

Trent and liverpool have to make sane defend, taa did it to Zaha in the 2nd half at Palace and all of a sudden palaces biggest threat is nullified.

{Ed025's Note - the thing is SS that city have multiple threats mate not just one..

TAA needs to stay alert all game and needs support from his team mates rather than just left to get on with it, he’s going to be targeted more than anyone else against City.

I was taking about the second leg on a Tuesday 😉😉😉
Only joking. I think we are all so desperate for Liverpool to go through to the next round.

I think both Liverpool and City will win their home games, and it could go to goal difference, it really could be that close .

Think I'd drop taa he had a mare against United an didn't look too good against palace. He's going g to be a very good player but these are important games an in my opinion a step to far for the lad.
If Clyne is fully fit I'd play him.

Clyne are you kidding me! So he hasn’t played all year and you want him to play our biggest for about 10 years or so. 🙈🙈🙈.

Truthhurts, so you wanna play a guy who has not kicked a ball for 9 months vs a true juggernaut in City in a CL QF instead of a guy who is actually fit, in rhythm and has been playing for the past few games? Thank heavens, you are not LFC manager. You may wanna jump on TAA for his mistakes all you want BUT that is a very myopic way of thinking. If you wanna be truly objective, you prolly wanna look at the calamity of errors that TAA's more senior mates made before the ball even got to him. See Ed01's game review for those facts. Defending is done as a team and that is how it should be analysed, IMO.

TAA did make his mistakes and is a worry BUT Gomez is out and Clyne is not ready to face a speed demon like Sane any more than TAA is right now. In fact, Clyne would not last 30 mins against him, fitness wise so I doubt Klopp will play him. What has to be done is to either play a back 3 (which is suicide as our back 3 will be going one on one vs their front 3) or we put a system in place to protect TAA and not leave him isolated, just like Milner does with Robbo on the left. That would be my way to go.

I know Ed, it is going to be a big ask to get to the semi's. If you wanna win it then you have to best the best, I'm looking forward to it and hope we have a lead to defend in the 2nd leg.

Also wouldn't be great for his confidence - here mate your dropped despite playing all season, for a player who hasn't player all season and wasn't great then anyway a!

So where is all this Clyne love-in coming from?
Last time I remember the guy playing, he still couldn't defend or cross a ball. Stick with TAA coz I think the kid is going to play a blinder against Sane.

Well that went down well. Just my opinion folks.

I don't know myself, IB. I guess it is a simple case of absence makes the heart grow fonder or something like that.

TH, your opinion is well-respected. I just have a different one which is backed by facts. That's all.

BR I sincerely hope yr right mate but I've looked at TAA past couple games an his positioning still needs major work on I just hope he doesn't get caught out again.
