Jota has to start against City, his off the ball movement is absolutely ridiculous.
His pace also was a massive asset. THose three interchanging was incredible.

Imagine having players like Thiago, Fabinho, Keita behind them dinging balls through for them.

How good is Williams going? I honestly thought we were going to be fucked without VVD and Fabinho.
HIs first game in the CL was solid, but I didn't expect us/him to deal with Atlanta with 'relative' ease in they way they did. Yes, Atlanta had 2-3 very good scoring opportunities so we weren't perfect, but they didn't score which is massive credit to the team.

A 19 year old central defender makes his 1st team debut in the Champions League. In fact, his first two games are in the Champions League. Incredible really.

Will be interesting seeing the team against City on the weekend.

Would've loved for Thiago to have started, but doubt he'll even be on the bench now. Expect Matip to be in the backs. Jota has to start. How would you guys set up in the midfield?

Hendo, Gini, and Keita? Think Hendo and Gini are 100%. Will be interesting seeing who he puts in the other position.

Diogo Jota last season at Wolves= 48 games 16 goals.
Diogo Jota this season at Liverpool= 10 games 7 goals.


Players rise when there is better quality around them and they get better coaching.

Where did you see that mate?

Personally I don't see the point in him joining the squad. He wouldn't be starting, and has had no games under his belt after injury. Better to truly rest him with international break coming up, and make sure he's fit.

Hopefully though that there's not something more serious.

BUt I can't see this news anywhere?

He hasn't been in full training yet .. hopefully they're just being cautious

Wish Klopp would actually tell us what injury Thiago is suffering from..did not really give a solid timeline other than that "he's injured but doesn't need surgery"...

Where do you get your oil from?

Wouldn't surprise me though that Bobby is starting with all the talk frmo Klopp during the week. Bobby needs to back up that belief put into him by the manager though.

Massive game for the boys. Will be really interesting seeing how we go as we definitely need a win to really show the league we're here to win the league. Can't wait for the game!

Decent guess. Would be a big call not to start Jota but with all the support of Firmino this week ... I think you could be right.

I've got it so much easier over here with watching games. Think it's at 630 in the evening my time. Hand to all of you that get up so early to watch games. That's true support and something I used to struggle a lot with.

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota

Shocked about this lineup if I'm honest as it didn't work last time. Gotta trust Klopp though

We’ve been a pressing machine. City finding it hard to get out of their own half. Deserved lead for us

Absolutely cracking game of football. Absolutely cracking.

We've done really well and should've been another 1 or 2 goals for us at least.

Can't wait for the second half. Expect us to win it but ...
