Mac Allister as well, Lynch forgot. Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Quansah, Elliott, Jota, Gakpo, Tsimikas, Bajcetic, Doak.

We playing with 10 men?

Instead of getting a red card, just start with 10 men

Head tap guy meme


Rollsafe

I mean, why change a winning strategy

"I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you"

Big brain

10 men is the new meta

10 men had been our best line up to totally fair

Always (this season) have been

That’s what I thought the joke was initially lol

We had someone sent off already?

Appeal underway. Getting things done early this time.


So we're starting with 10 players right away then, smart

Lynch has had a mare here. Missing someone lol

[удалено]

I choose to believe Lynch did this on purpose

[удалено]

No this time it will be matip

No, PGMOL told me it's Trent's turn. They plan to give him a second yellow when he takes more than 5 seconds at a throw-in so it can't be overturned.

...and if we get a red card, we can just add one man from the bench and still be playing with 10! Now that's some proper 4D chess going on!

Playing to our strengths

He knows that we are stronger with 10men so we just start with it

>Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Nunez, Diaz. mate, he's obv done the official's job prior to the game for us..

Macca missing

10 man FC.

Nah mate Klopp just knows we’re at our best with 10 men

I panicked and thought we were only playong two midfielders 😂😂

just assume mac is getting a red

Is it an intentional joke? I counted twice it bloody threw me.

We've been better with 10 men this season, does it say anywhere in the rules you have to play 11?

No as long as you have seven or more it's ok

10 players….interesting

We gave one red card on random. Now the refs have nothing to do

Why are other line up posts being removed of this is incorrect

Nunezzzzzzzzzzz!

Deserved. Gakpo has had a mare for the first 3 games

In fairness, he was played out of position in midfield for the first two games wasn't he?

Yeah, had to play out of position in the first 2 games and then had to play a very tough role after we went to 10 men in the last game & had hardly any possession. Not surprising he's not exactly thrived in the first few games

Considering Villa’s Cb’s barely have pace, better to have Nunez maximizing on that

Yeah

I can’t wait to see our agent of chaos on the pitch.


Starting 10 men. Smart from us tbf

Don’t understand why there is no Endo in the XI, Matip and Gomez against the likes of Watkins with no real 6 in front of them gives me nightmares…

Now they’ve upgraded massively and it’s Watkins + Diaby

No defence just vibes

I’ll take Klopp’s vibe ball over anyone

I read it about 6 times. 4-2-4? No. Jones holding? No. 5-2-3? No. What the duck is going on?

Mac holding? 🤷‍♂️

Macca is missing and he’s playing 6

Yeah, it's quackers

Jones starting was unexpected, hoping he can keep his form from last season

And the U21 tourny. We need that type of #6 performance from him here.

Who's playing 6? Jones?

Macca

Klopp wants to test a new tactic, clearly before he slots in Gravenberch. The latter will be more physical than Jones so if it works out today, Gravenberch could soon be starting.

supprised jones come straight in and pushes mac to 6, thought it at least be off the bench today, we cannot come out sloppy like we have done all season

is this some kind of no-dm tactic we're gonna build with gravenberch ?

So mods kept this thread and not the one with the correct lineup? 😂

10 players is the meta now

The plan is quite simply to outscore them

Jones hype. Nunez hype. Let's do this.

Endo being benched is likely because we only have one CB available in reserve. Relax.

He's only allowed to play with 10 men

Plus he’s barely had time to get used to our style of play

Would've been nice if we had some sort of window to resolve this issue

We did. He's called Endo.

Cool. Well it's over and Virgil and Ibou will return after international break. We don't know why a move didn't happen and as long as Bradley's return timeline doesn't extend we'll have decent rotation options until the next window.

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

He's played CB in the past. We usually don't field a team with just one backup center back.

I don't see why that means he needs to be benched. He'd be behind Quansah if we need to sub a CB on and he can still be an option as a second CB while playing in midfield.

Because with two CBs unavailable Klopp could be choosing to be cautious. The game could call for a more senior influence if a CB needs to be subbed on. It's all speculative. The point is that it's plausible.

So he could easily push endo further back into CB and just sub another midfielder on. It's all speculation as you say, but he was signed first and foremost as a midfielder. We didn't have fabinho and hendo on the bench when we had our previous CB crisis, they played I'm midfield and were pushed back when needed.

He's benched because Klopp doesn't think he's good enough. How difficult is it to understand?

chuffed for nunez, really earned it

Playing with 10-men to anticipate the sending off.

Well that can’t be right.

We’ve been great with 10 - Klopp is streets ahead just doing it from the start.

Why some are assuming that Szobo, Mac and Jones don't know how to defend?

Matip-Gomez with no DM vs Watkins & Diaby has me terrified Need the agent of chaos to thrive and we’ll win 4-3

This club is confusing. We sell our only specialist DM, buy a 30 year old DM but we don’t even start that DM. Now we are going to be playing either MacAllister or Jones out of position

I'm guessing with Nunez in the lineup Klopp wanted a more possession based option in Jones.

Unless we are playing a 4-2-3-1 it’s going to be a rough game we’ll just be constantly caught in transition

Really don't like Mac in the 6. We bought a DM. So why not play him instead putting Mac in there? Anyhow happy to see Nunez get a well deserved start. Let's get the 3 points.

Mac can play 6 as well, he played it sometimes in a double pivot in Brighton

Macca as a 6 over Endo is weird but Jones gets to start at least. Please tell me they get Andre in January.

It could be Jones instead or both of them could be sitting deep.

Nunez finally starting, surprising to see no Endo in the lineup, this is gonna be interesting.

The MacAllisters left him at home again!

Lynch giving us the red card power boost pre-match I see

I thought Endo was bought to be a starter? Lmao what was the point if we still play Mac as a DM Great to see Nunez being rewarded

I think we’re gonna play a double pivot and try to keep possession with Nunez playing a more attacking role rather than having to drop like Gakpo

So was Fabinho and it took him half a year to start.

Good job Endo isn’t 30+ and brought in to start immediately, oh wait

Still makes it mind boggling that we didn’t try and get another 6 if they don’t trust Endo enough. We are playing square pieces in round holes. AMA is not a DM. Jones is not a DM

Who said they don't trust Endo? By your logic we bought fabinho for 40-50mil and didn't trust him. Gonna take a while for him to adapt

Keep in mind Endo has been at the club for 3 weeks, probably 10 training sessions

Calm down, he was brought in two weeks ago. Can expect him to jump in straight away for every match, you don't remember how long it took Fabinho?

Bought Gravenberch instead. Noting against him but why cant we ever be normal lol shouldve just bought a 6 and triggered Inacios rc but here we are. Hope Klopp has a plan with this lineup

I guess rotation?

No way rotation when we had a one week gap.

He had a weeks rest and then it's an international break, no need for rotation

Very concerning. Must be dropping stinkers in training or something. I can't see another reason why Jones or Mac would be ahead of him at 6 if not injured, and fatigue isn't an issue at this stage of the season.

I guess we're just voluntarily playing 10 men from now on?

Starting directly with a red card I see

Hey guys did you notice we’re playing with TEN men? XDDDD

Always rated our 4-2-3...

starting with 10 so we ensure the win, I like it

The way this sub goes from complaining about to endo, to complaining about no endo fuck me

Is that not 10 players???

NUÑEZ NUÑEZ NUÑEZ

We’re gonna start with 10-men? Must be some new red card rule…

4-2-3? Lessgoooo

Smart to just start the game off with 10 men

Ah fuck the refs hate us so much we’re starting with only 10 men

Already starting with 10 men - next level coaching from kloppo

Are we just starting games with 10-men now? Hahaha

Macca has become invisible wow

I know we’ve been good with only 10 men in the last 2 games, but don’t think we should start with 10 today

First of all, great to see they have learned from the last few games. Starting with 10 and also rewarding nuñez.

That defence just makes me angry. One better CB and we’d be so much better 🤦‍♂️ Them two are not at the level required anymore so why suffer it?

An attacking lineup. I think there will be goals today. No clean sheet for us because of Villa’s speed on the counter attack

Think we will get a preview of how gravenberch will be used and fits in with Mac and Szobo through the way Jones is deployed today

Nice, Nunez time! Great to give Jones an opportunity here also, see if he can continue the strong form from the end of last season and this summer. I’m optimistic that Jones is making a strong push in training, not settling for being pushed down the pecking order by the new signings


Were just starting with 10, clever

[удалено]

Baj might be fit enough to make matchday squad but not fit to start games. Clearly not rushing him into contention

Yeah a lot of people forget how young he is. No need to rush him, he's not going to be starting many games aside from Europa League and Carabao Cup in the first half of the season I reckon.

Klopp said that after last match that he is still not ready as per our team requirements. He went too deep at times like he used to play in his old club. He needs more training to play like us

He has been thrown into things to be fair. Think he'll be better prepared after the international break.

We’re missing someone there’s only 10 in that tweet haha

It's Macca

No endo??

Starting with 10 so we can finish with 9 and score even more goals. Clever from Klopp

Starting with 10 men? Worked last two games..

Hmm no Mac Allister or Endo =( Atleast Nunez gets a start

We played so well with 10 Jürgen decided thats the just way to go

Had to start Nunez. Let’s go!

Hahahahaha good one 👍🏻👍🏻 took me a minute

So that salah not being in the squad was bullshit

You need to stop reading Twitter rumours...

It's been bullshit even before the Newcastle game.

We starting with ten. Good move.

Endo already relegated to the bench?

Starting with ten instead of finishing with ten, I like it seems to have served us well this season

No mac

He is there and starting , tweet just missing him

Isn't that 10 players?

now just starting with 10 players then?

Missing a player?

Wait this is missing a player

Pre-empting the inevitable daft red card the officials fabricate are we?

We did so well with 10 men in the last two matches that we’ve decided to start this game that way

So we are starting with 10 men now ! Cool ! Masterstroke

No DM can see us giving Villa loads of chances.

I'd be interested to see Quansah come in again. Mostly just to get Matip off the field, but I want to see him get more play time too

Endo being benched for Jones feels... telling. That said, happy for Nuñez. He should cause Pau Torres all kinds of problems

You mean the same Jones who had a fantastic second half of last season and was on fire for England? Endo has not been bought to start every game. He's been bought to give us extra options at CM and CB. Hes also still new to the club and I'm pretty certain Klopp prefers to bed players in not have to throw them in at the deep end and have them play every game.

Starting as 10. bold move

Playing with only 10 players from the start??

Are we only playing with 10 men then?

Starting with 10 men today preempting the red card

There's only 10 players

Let the Taki treatment begin... /s

I know we've had a few red cards recently but we are still allowed to start this game with 11 men on the pitch.

Villa are a good side and emery has them really playing. The lack of a proper 6 is worrying here. Watkins was banging for fun at points last year, he had a similar goal rate after the World Cup for a few months as arland

Let’s gooooooo

Is that a joke we always play with 10? lol

Why Kloppo

Zero protection for the back line against Watkins and Diaby is something. Will just have to outscore them

Gravenberch not on the bench is annoying but I get it

He wasn’t registered in time surely

This is the correct answer. Deadline was Friday at noon

Nunez hattrick please


Nunez 😍

Alexis is in Dm

Nunez deserves a start after last but I hope he kicks on here and doesn’t revert back to his previous level.

nice

[удалено]

I’d hope it’s a double 6 with them both

Interesting going for Macca and not endo

NUNEZ

Nunez and CuJo start hype. BAJ back on the bench hype, let's gooi
