ZAPHOD2319 4,814 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Steffen is going really early. That is why he is no longer the starting keeper for USMNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Incredible that David Moyes has really rediscovered his mojo from his Everton days. 4 minutes ago, Tomo said: Unless Liverpool suddenly decide to roll out the first team we really should be winning this. Also depends on what we do really. I mean we'll likely rotate again and the two games so far has been, as you said, a clusterfuck. And the QF is in between games against Spurs and Leeds. Don't think Klopp will play his first team at all, unless he gets us or Spurs or Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes the quarter final is probably our big banana skin (so hopefully we get Sunderland) given our schedule but if we make the semi we should be able to play the first team from that moment on.

He didn't play the full first team but he did play some of them, IIRC. Off the top of my head, I remember Van Dijk played in that one. Got bullied by Giroud. 3 minutes ago, Tomo said: But yes the quarter final is probably our big banana skin (so hopefully we get Sunderland) given our schedule but if we make the semi we should be able to play the first team from that moment on. The two-legged semi final is in between our league games against Liverpool and City. So, I don't know about starting our first team there. Plus, there's also an FA Cup tie in that period and we don't know when exactly the CWC is gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of the top of my head VVD, Robertson, Fabinho and Mane from his usual starters. BIB: It is but isn't the FA Cup game a few days before the potential semi first leg? I imagine we will play the scratch side there and if so I think it will be better to play the first Xl for the semi to keep up match sharpness, don't fancy a week and a half without the first Xl playing.

Even Klopp went strong in a cup game against Villa's kids last season to avoid that. A weeks rest while sticking the scratch side in for the FA Cup is more than adequate (if we get knocked out then go full strength in the FA). On a slightly related note given Kepa will be first choice for that period I wonder if we will see Bettinelli for the third round if it does turn out to be in the middle of two semi's.
