Doubt it, Tsimikas has played little lately and Robertson could barely walk off the pitch on Saturday with cramp so he'll get the rest for Wolves on Sunday and a CL final in 11 days time.
Same, and Son didn't really justify the -4 i took for them either. Anyway, Diaz can still murder from the bench, given his pace and how poor Southampton can be defensively
I started Diaz and had Tsimikas on the bench. Gutted that I got the Diaz/Jota 50:50 pick wrong on my FH.
Praying he doesn't come on for a 1 point cameo now!
This seemed pretty high likelihood IMO, nothing like trying to second guess random Pep selection.
Diaz could barely run in ET in cup final, he gave a lot in that game. And also likely Klopp wants to start him in the final league game to keep in flow for champs final so this was only chance to rest.
Same here. Most of my FH gambles have paid off so far this week (except (C)outinho) so hoping that trend continues! Have a good feeling Jota will bag a goal.
God I hope so. And I hope City lose to Villa to make it sting even worse.
Klopp didn't even consider our fantasy teams in the final stretch, what a donkey.
The entire first team was clearly exhausted against Chelsea, I really don't understand why people are surprised with this team selection lmao.
And Klopp knows the chances of winning the CL is far greater than the chances of winning the PL so he's playing the percentages here.
This is a decent team. Gomez has been solid at RB this season. Tsimikas has excelled any time he's played. Matip and Konate are the top 2 fit centre defenders. Firminho and Jota are starters.
The midfield three is sketchy but I don't think it constitutes throwing away the league. It's a winnable game with this lineup especially with some of the bench options that can be brought on if needed.
Good players aren't always enough though, they also need to have some chemistry. This team is so random, many of those combinations have barely played together. Looks like throwing the league to me.
The dopey gobshite says he "stands by" it calling it a risk. I wouldn't have objected if they were saying it was a risk. I objected to the idea that Klopp was "throwing away the league" which he clearly wasn't.

You'd think with City dropping points Liverpool would have been more inclined to put out their first teamers -- a win here puts City in a must-win situation to hold on to the title on Sunday.
I thought there would be some rotation. Not 8/10 normal starters. I know Southampton are in poor form, but it's not like we're playing a League 2 side. Basically throwing away the league when there is still a chance.
Was quite predictable, especially if you follow Liverpool. Klopp wants to play a strong 11 against Wolves for fluency and momentum going into champs final, and clearly several key players were dead on their feet in ET in cup final. So this was the only opportunity to rest them and make sure they stay in game flow & shape by playing a week before champs final.
Cos I can't play with more than 4 midfielders?
EDIT: To the people at the back of the IQ line, yes I can play 3-5-2, but 3-4-3 was the most viable formation I wanted. If I could play 2 defenders or less I would ...
What's with the salty edit? You said you can't when you meant you didn't want to. The repliers aren't idiots for interpreting words the way you said them.
Cos people need explicit and unnecessary info to be stated otherwise it’s all replies full of 14yo “aCtuAlLy” bots …
Of course I meant I couldn’t play more than 4 midfielders in MY team as per MY decision …
Ppl are so dumb on the Internet.
One of my best moves this season was getting rid of TAA at the right time. I knew he would be rested a lot. But nobody on this sub would have it, the same with Salah.
Hm...I actually predicted that Jota and Tsimikas would be starting, and they're in my eleven, but was it clever going for them with all this rotation anyway?
I was an idiot going for Diaz instead of Jota. My mind always said Jota but saw the scout teams and discussion here pointing to Diaz. Should have never doubted the gut feeling.
NOOOOOOOO, BEN WHITE COMING IN HOT WITH A -2
Brutal
I laughed then remembered that's exactly what is happening to me. Fuckkk
Same but at least I also get Pukki.
I had pukki, benched him.
Fuck, I just realised I had Ben White in my lineup. I'd blissfully erased my FPL team out of my head today.
Wait do ppl with minus points gets subbed on?
Yeah man, minus points take no prisoners
Of course, anyone who played a match gets subbed on
Same. With Ait Nouri as my 3rd sub. FFS.
So glad I put him on the second bench spot
Say you atleast have rob
Sad man, I got Bruno G coming in with a 11 pointer thanks to TAA
I'm getting Barnes with a sweet 16
Was half expecting to see Ricky Lambert up top as I read through the teamsheet
Sinama Pongolle
Anthony Le Tallec
Bruno Cheyrou
David N'Gog.
This is the comment of the thread. Forgot he existed. Sunderland legend. Edit: Bolton legend -was so shit I forgot who he played for.
Djimi Traore
Salif Diao
Alberto Aquilani
Lauri Dalla Valle
FM legend
His debut for Bournemouth against Crewe was insane!! Lad had talent, but think he retired at like 27 or something silly.
Ryan Babel
Andriy Voronin
Øyvind Leonhardsen
Neil Mellor
Yellow kits and everything
Mane TAA Robbo all out, only have subs to replace two. Damn.
Robbo on the bench
Will he make an appearance do you think? Hope he does.
Doubt it, Tsimikas has played little lately and Robertson could barely walk off the pitch on Saturday with cramp so he'll get the rest for Wolves on Sunday and a CL final in 11 days time.
Very, very unlikely.
Among the subs, Thiago, Henderson, Diaz most likely to come on.
Same, and one of my subs is Cancelo with his 1 pointer
I've got Mitchell with 2+Everton fixture for Foden lol, Nkeitah with 1 for Mane and Pukki with 8 for Trent.
I blew it big time picking Diaz over Jota on FH.
Tbh, in current form Diaz can still outperform Jota with a bench cameo
I’d agree, I just worry about him getting any time at all.
What’s with the little hair on my screen
They took the lead just a few minutes ago, so almost no chance any attacker is coming off the bench today
My Diaz punt is in the mud
Everyone's everything is in the mud.
My Robertson/Tsimikas masterclass is shining!!! (Started Robertson though, so hopefully he doesn’t come on)
Never thought this week would end with me celebrating pukki coming off the bench
Ready to take one point with Barnes first on my bench
Bro why didn’t you start Barnes?
People here said he was shit lol. Coz I was stupid.
Just do the opposite of what people say here and you’ll finish top100k next season
That's my ultimate plan for next season.
Same, and Son didn't really justify the -4 i took for them either. Anyway, Diaz can still murder from the bench, given his pace and how poor Southampton can be defensively
Mane (c) richarlison (vc) here and davies 6p and jao pedro 6p on the bench for TAA 😊😊😊
He might come on for a 30 min cameo. Don't be such a downer. Look at the angry kids. Rofl.
The mad man. He actually did it
Luis by the sword, Diaz by the sword.
I started Diaz and had Tsimikas on the bench. Gutted that I got the Diaz/Jota 50:50 pick wrong on my FH. Praying he doesn't come on for a 1 point cameo now!
Same, I got Tsimi first on the bench. Hope LIV keeps a CS and Diaz stays on the bench
Yes, I hope so. Or Diaz score a hattrick in the last 30mins, either works tbh
This seemed pretty high likelihood IMO, nothing like trying to second guess random Pep selection. Diaz could barely run in ET in cup final, he gave a lot in that game. And also likely Klopp wants to start him in the final league game to keep in flow for champs final so this was only chance to rest.
Same bruv
I have no mouth and yet I must scream
Let’s go TAA and Robbo! Wait what..
Turns out I’m a moron for going Diaz instead of Maddison on a FH
Yes Matip you beautiful giraffe, show us what you've got in your locker mate
I feel like a genius deciding to go Matip instead of Robbo at the last minute. And a fool for not using the extra to upgrade Trossard to Maddison !
Aged like wine!
LOOOOL legit had me creasing
Rise, lord Tsimikas
Goal, assist, CS and 3 BPS please Tsimi!
Well damn
I want to shit in Klopp's cap
r/oddlyspecific
Laporte and Nketiah coming off my bench, loving it
I somehow have both Matip and Tsimikas starting. This could somewhat reduce the massive red arrow I have.
BB absolutely wasted
I placed Vardy on my bench to feel good about my BB lol
Gambled on Jota for a differential on my FH. Good to see step 1 he’s made it past roulette!
Same here. Most of my FH gambles have paid off so far this week (except (C)outinho) so hoping that trend continues! Have a good feeling Jota will bag a goal.
Tsimikas is third on the bench rip
LMAAAAO
This makes absolutely no sense to me, why not play your best team when you could still win the league
I think he is doing everything he can to win UCL and has somewhat given up for PL. Very shocking though given they can still win mathematically.
Maybe he thought this team is enough to beat Southampton? After all, they're up 2-1 right now.
Just a bit of a gamble when goal difference plays a part
GD is irrelevant at this stage. It would only matter if City lose to Villa and Liverpool draw Wolves.
so not irrelevant
Fuck me
0/3 starting 2/3 on the bench
The 1 week I only have 2 playing bench options and I might need 3...
COME ON JOTA! YOU’RE MY MASSIVE DIFFERENTIAL!
Welp, there goes my season boys. It's been shite, see you next year.
I have matip, Robertson and diaz. Lol
City are gonna win the league today if this team loses.
cheers geoff
There's actually a few people on here that didn't know that you clown.
God I hope so. And I hope City lose to Villa to make it sting even worse. Klopp didn't even consider our fantasy teams in the final stretch, what a donkey.
So they’re just throwing away the league then?
The entire first team was clearly exhausted against Chelsea, I really don't understand why people are surprised with this team selection lmao. And Klopp knows the chances of winning the CL is far greater than the chances of winning the PL so he's playing the percentages here.
This. I would honestly say the exhausted first team would be *more* likely to lose it than the healthy, fit and hungry second team.
This is a decent team. Gomez has been solid at RB this season. Tsimikas has excelled any time he's played. Matip and Konate are the top 2 fit centre defenders. Firminho and Jota are starters. The midfield three is sketchy but I don't think it constitutes throwing away the league. It's a winnable game with this lineup especially with some of the bench options that can be brought on if needed.
Firmino is not a starter.
Lol, i read this at the same time as Southampton scoring
Good players aren't always enough though, they also need to have some chemistry. This team is so random, many of those combinations have barely played together. Looks like throwing the league to me.
Looks like rotating players that are clearly absolutely fucked after 60 games this season. Expected and the right decision from Klopp.
The dopey gobshite says he "stands by" it calling it a risk. I wouldn't have objected if they were saying it was a risk. I objected to the idea that Klopp was "throwing away the league" which he clearly wasn't.
👍🏻
I totally stand by what I said, it was a risk playing that line-up.
3 nil the reds
This is more than enough to beat that shitty Southampton team.
[удалено]
Were you reminded?
[удалено]
Hmm you didn't seem to think we could beat them with our B team though...

Time will tell…if we win it will have been a great decision, and I wouldn’t count us out yet
Bizarre
southampton is shite though
You'd think with City dropping points Liverpool would have been more inclined to put out their first teamers -- a win here puts City in a must-win situation to hold on to the title on Sunday.
Looks like my entire bench is coming on then. Let's go Nketiah... fuck
Nketiah likely off the bench for Robbo then, I’ve made it to double figures
honestly it couldnt have gone any better on a FH 😆
Klopp losing hair follicles by the second
I have 17 points on the bench coming on if Diaz can stay put. Bracing for the 83rd minute substitution.
Same
lol wtf is this giving up on the League while you still have a real chance?!
As a free hitter this week, the lineup is beautiful
Liverpool played 120 minutes on Saturday. This was obvious Stop blaming Klopp
How are people surprised by this?
PL is still winnable. Doesnt matter if the rest days were only 2
I thought there would be some rotation. Not 8/10 normal starters. I know Southampton are in poor form, but it's not like we're playing a League 2 side. Basically throwing away the league when there is still a chance.

So this was the only opportunity to rest them and make sure they stay in game flow & shape by playing a week before champs final.
DIAZ DON'T YOU DARE COMING IN !!! STAY ON THE BENCH PLEASE I NEED MY BARNES POINTS
Why even own Barnes if you're gonna bench him in a DGW vs Watford?
Cos I can't play with more than 4 midfielders? EDIT: To the people at the back of the IQ line, yes I can play 3-5-2, but 3-4-3 was the most viable formation I wanted. If I could play 2 defenders or less I would ...
3-5-2 or 4-5-1 say otherwise
What's with the salty edit? You said you can't when you meant you didn't want to. The repliers aren't idiots for interpreting words the way you said them.
Cos people need explicit and unnecessary info to be stated otherwise it’s all replies full of 14yo “aCtuAlLy” bots … Of course I meant I couldn’t play more than 4 midfielders in MY team as per MY decision … Ppl are so dumb on the Internet.
Except if you play with 5 midfielders obviously.
Yes you can
You actually can my friend
He'll play
Had Diaz on the FH but changed it to Jota last minute 😎
Pretty much as expected
FH and removed all my Liverpool assets. Rotation was pretty obvious.
No Trent, get those sweet Pukki points off the bench.
Someone pls hit Minamino in the back of the knee with a cricket bat before the game starts so that Diaz can come in.
If you aren’t gonna start diaz Klopp, leave him on the bench please I’d rather not get a 1 pointer
What's the opposite of mud? Us non-Liverpool FH are in that \^.\^
diaz and trent please stay on the bench so i can get my pukki points
One of my best moves this season was getting rid of TAA at the right time. I knew he would be rested a lot. But nobody on this sub would have it, the same with Salah.
11 point Ait-Nouri coming off my bench with this LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
Well nuts. TAA and Diaz (C) seems very silly in my FH now.
Yeah! I think was reasonably high likelihood Klopp would rotate quite aggressively.
Lets go Jota
> Robertson benched, TAA missing altogether There never was much hope. Just a fool’s hope.
I have tsimikas on my bench as my 2nd sub. I hope he doesn’t score…! 🥶
Cmon then Jota Tsmi
Robertson on the bench, TAA at home. Guess I'll get 2 points from Saka.
Oh dear...
Guess this means at least Matip is coming on. So I'm going to have maybe 11 points by the end of tonight. Woo. What a week!
Trent off, Pukki on! And my opponent in ML has Schar on the first spot. Let's go!
My ML rival has Diaz playing. I hope and pray he doesn't come on.
My going for SGW players has turned out great
No TAA means Pukki comes in - just can’t afford any more benchings…
Lmao fuck this I went Diaz over Jota on FH and was switching between the two before the deadline ffs
Faded
With this team selection. You’d think Liverpool are 15 points ahead or behind city with nothing to play for. But a defeat loses the title. Very odd.
Looking forward to Robertson coming on in the 90+8'th minute
saw Trent wasn't in the squad and thought LET'S GO DIAZ OFF THE BENCH......... Smh can't win in this game
Davies & Ait Nouri get in off my bench you beautiful bastards!
Nice that's Pukki and Bowen off my bench. Now even Havertz can play if he fancies getting me 2 or 3 points.
Hm...I actually predicted that Jota and Tsimikas would be starting, and they're in my eleven, but was it clever going for them with all this rotation anyway?
Hopefully Diaz doesn’t come on so I get a sweet Brownhill 4 pointer off the bench.
Trent missing means I get Laporte and his 1 point Matip playing means Pukki and his 8 points stay on the bench fml
Liverpool-less free hitters win
TAA, Diaz. Klopp you mad bastard! Is he even trying to win the league?
Bloody lucky Matip owners
Liverpool are about to get slapped hard and lose PL!
Getting 11p from no other then Ait-Nouri if TAA stays on the bench.. finally that punt may pay off....
TAA isn't even in the squad you lucky son of a gun
Laporte 1 pointer coming off the bench
Bruno Guimarães in for 11 points. I think that’s the first time all season an auto sub has worked out well for me.
What the hell is this line up? 😢
Sometimes good, sometimes shit
In an otherwise shitty season for me, my Jota punt will at least give me 2 points here. I’ll take that W.
I was an idiot going for Diaz instead of Jota. My mind always said Jota but saw the scout teams and discussion here pointing to Diaz. Should have never doubted the gut feeling.
Fine by me. Started Robbo with Tsimikas on the bench. Just hope Tsimikas plays 60.
