I think it shall have to be as there are just too many games and over such short rest periods.

Klopp seems to go by who is fit and sharp plus fits his tactics for specific match. That is why he went with Henderson/Wijnaldum/Milner in midfield last night which surprised some fans including me. Thankfully Jurgen got it right!

Oh yeah forgot to mention the 'world's best defender' as well, who has yet to return and make an appearance on the pitch this season:rolleyes::D

I dun think Lovren will be playing again until after the Jan 19 transfer window...... he has the same sickness as former Liverpool winger Harry Kewell...... need lots of antibiotics and injections..... a rare form of muscle/joint infection

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Really? But looks like he just returned to full trainning yesterday:confused:

That said, Lovren may now get distracted by the perjury scandal back in Croatia that has already involved Luca Modric:eek:

Dejan Lovren charged with perjury

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-a8545446.html

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has been charged with perjury for allegedly providing false testimony in the trial of former Croatian football administrator and sports agent Zdravko Mamic.

Mamic was found guilty in June on a number of charges that included making illegal profits on player transfers from his time as an executive at Dinamo Zagreb – including the deals that took Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric to Tottenham in 2008 and Lovren to Lyon in 2010. He was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison, but fled to Bosnia-Herzegovina before the guilty verdict was announced.

The court ruled that Modric and Lovren, who were both represented by Mamic’s son Mario, were unlawfully paid 50 per cent of their transfer fees and forwarded a large proportion of the money to Mamic and his family in accordance with illegally backdated clauses in their Dinamo contracts.

Mamic disputes the ruling and has pledged to fight the verdict, which according to Croatian law will only become final when it is confirmed by the Superior Court – a process that can take years.

Modric was charged with perjury prior to captaining Croatia to the World Cup final last summer, and the country's state attorney office has now confirmed that Lovren will also face criminal proceedings, though no trial dates have yet been announced. If found guilty, both men face between six months and five years in prison.

The scandal did not have a negative effect on Croatia at the World Cup – where Modric won the Golden Ball award for the competition’s best player and Lovren started six of his country’s seven matches in the heart of defence – but the ongoing proceedings could jeopardise their futures at international level and complicate their club careers.

Firmino has been wearing protective glasses during Liverpool training sessions this week

He scored goals without looking at ball.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Anyone watching?

Liverpool XI vs Southampton

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

half time score Pool 3 - Southampton 0

let's score another 3 in the 2nd half!!!!!!!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Shaqiri has been awesome thus far:cool:

So happy for Salah to get a goal as well:)

Klopp's tactics seem to be working once again.

Hope to keep a clean sheet and bang in a few more goals!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

We’re on a roll and we still don’t look anywhere near our best.

I would have liked our front three to look a bit more fluid with the Chelsea/City games coming up but hopefully they will hit top form when it matters.


Oh yeah really hope nothing serious with respect to VVD's injury. Also hope nothing wrong with Shaqiri as strange to see him being subed after a great first half:confused:

Is our world's best defender ready to take a bow as we need him back pronto as well:D

Anyway feels good to hit the sack with us back at the top of the table at least until tomorrow night, added bonus United dropped 2 points:p

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Good result but there is room for improvement in terms of performance.
Big concern about Van Dijk and Shaqiri as we need all bodies for the upcoming games.
Hope is Clyne is fit to play too.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

#LFC set a new club benchmark by winning their first seven games of a season.

They have also now kept eight consecutive league clean sheets at Anfield - their longest sequence without conceding at home since a run of nine in 2006-07.

Brilliant stats:cool:

Also, Jurgen Klopp has told @juliette_grace that Virgil Van Dijk is "ok but has a bruised rib" @5liveSport #LFC;)

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

a bit boring 2nd half but 3 points in the bag, no goal conceded.

key players are rested. vvd seems to be fine, taken off just to be safe.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

In the week that i moaned about Ah Klopp of being predictable, he starts to mix things up abit at the front, a diamond of Salah in the middle, Mane on the right and Bobby on the left, with Shaqiri just behind Salah in a free role. Match won in the 1st half as the Reds now able to grind out the 2nd half for victory with bigger battles ahead.
Hope all is well with the world's best defender, not the self-proclaimed one, that is VVD just got some minor bruise to his the rib cage.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Game won at half time, took the gas pedal away in second half. Play second half as practiced sessions with Southampton nothing to reply.

Thought Shaq was brilliant bulldozed his way and had a share of creating first and third goal.

Matip started first game with a goal and free header with no markers.

VVD leaving the game was concern but he did not go for treatment so looks fine.

Front 4 with Shaq first half was meanacing and front 3 did enough running in second half leaving opponents concern when they tried to attack.

4 clean sheets in 6 EPL games pretty good.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Shaqiri was the key player in first half and earned a title "Beast". He also earned the MOTM. Shaq was allowed to roam and took charge of many things including free kicks.

Second half, Klopp wanted to go back to same formation and control the game more like pratcise sessions.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

How come Salah goal was ruled offside? There was a defender on the line and the ball actually hit a Southampton player before Salah strike....
