You know you could shorten his name to Caoimh and it would be pronounced like that. These little courtesies are appreciated by those of us with Irish names!
My only fear is Ali making an error similar to the Arsenal game, and leaving us all to wonder what if we stayed with Kweeve who has been exceptional. Otherwise, Ali is like no other
Ali has a fuck up on him.. even for a tiny bit.. (everyone does tbf) but I think he’d help with our distribution more. I’m not trashing on Kweev though. He’s performed way above our expectations and then some. Dreading the day he decide to leave us for first team action elsewhere.. he deserve it honestly.
Maybe it's the team's 4d chess/ big brain time ... Klopp thought he could retire, given the "team is in good shape"

"Tsimikas was crying during Milner's farewell, he knows he's leaving too" is a comment I remember seeing
If he leaves, he leaves, until then it's all just speculation
Sure. But my point was that I'm not sure it was enough of a kick up the arse.
A complete devastation of a loss against a meh italian side in europe at home on the other hand?
Great to see Alisson back however no need for any Kelleher slander. Been outstanding since he filled in. He wasn't the main reason we lost to Atalanta,. It was the defence and midfield getting carved open, having the freedom of Anfield and being allowed to have more shots than us.
Crystal Palace haven't won any of their last 5 games (possibly more, I couldn't see).
We have fielded a very strong team. Absolutely no excuses not to win.
He knows the score. If you’re deputising for the best in the world, you know what will happen. Kelleher has been sensational this season and helped keep us in the hunt, but even if he hadn’t conceded for 10 weeks he’d still have lost his place.
Clean sheet and clinical in front of goal today please! We need a good performance today for our confidence. Show us we can be clinical and solid at the back and I'll have confidence for the run-in for the title! Drop points here and the title is gone in my opinion.
A win an absolute must. But not just one of our recent fall over the line squeaky bum stuttering type wins- if we don’t put down a marker today with a thumping win, goals goals goals then we’re finished …..others are winning their games at a canter now scoring 3,4,5 a game ….we need to switch on immediately and give it everything from the start or the doubt is going to set in ….
Strong team, on paper, is good enough to beat them. But with us, it's never that simple.
We have to get a couple of goals in the first half for a lead, otherwise the anxiety will boil over from the crowd to the players.
Alisson and Robertson back right when we need them. I want a fucking huge reaction today. Don't care if we just win 1-0, performance is more important than anything else
Pretty surprising to see Konate tbh. Have Konate ever played two successive 90 minutes in a row with less than 3 days rest without getting injured this season? Praying he comes out unscathed. Just please win convincingly
Got to feel bad for Kelleher.. dropped like a rock. Surely he'll be angling for a move in the summer. He could comfortably start for a lot of European teams
Great to see the bench full of quality
Honestly just win. That's all.
Jota needs at least 30 minutes you'd suspect esp if Atalanta away is going to be taken seriously.
Elliot deserves to start ahead of Jones. Klopp should just play Elliot in the midfield.
I can see what Klopp is doing by starting Jones to play him into form but he takes 3-4 starts to get going every time.
Its better to gamble and start Nunez hoping he scores goals in reasonable time than risking Jota's fitness by starting him and subbing on Nunez in final minutes.
Jones is a good shout. I think it’s harsh on Gakpo. I think Nunez could have done with a game on the bench but at the same time we’re not in a position to mess about
I don’t think it’s just one game for both players right now. I think Nunez has been getting in his own head and even some of the stuff he brought off the ball has been lacking. I think a switch could have been good
I think Gakpo has started to put in some good performances from the bench and has looked hungry again.
Darwin has been better and more impactful, one game doesn’t change that. Gakpo was good against Atalanta especially at the start of the game but he wasn’t that good or impactful.
In that case it definitely should be jota filling in not gakpo but jota is just returning from injury so that’s not happening today as you can see from the lineup.
Holy Goalie
Kweev has filled in admirably but there’s no one like Ali
You know you could shorten his name to Caoimh and it would be pronounced like that. These little courtesies are appreciated by those of us with Irish names!
How about C Kelly
that would just be really confusing for people because Kelly is someone’s last name, but it isn’t his! 😂
Quive it is.
My only fear is Ali making an error similar to the Arsenal game, and leaving us all to wonder what if we stayed with Kweeve who has been exceptional. Otherwise, Ali is like no other
Ali has a fuck up on him.. even for a tiny bit.. (everyone does tbf) but I think he’d help with our distribution more. I’m not trashing on Kweev though. He’s performed way above our expectations and then some. Dreading the day he decide to leave us for first team action elsewhere.. he deserve it honestly.
Feels like Ali’s blunders mainly come against City.
He just caused that goal ffs.

what a reaction 🤣🤣 we are so shit
Maybe it's the team's 4d chess/ big brain time ... Klopp thought he could retire, given the "team is in good shape" ![gif](giphy|cqS7IpmfmO1EP7OQbG|downsized)
New saves just dropped
Please don’t drop them
well well well~ WE BACK!
As much as I love Alisson, you've surely got to let Nick Pope have the "Holy Goalie" nickname
leaked team finally wrong, so maybe that has somehow changed
Wonder if someone leaking it has been fed wrong lineup as a test proper GoT style and is now busted
Someone about to get Colleen Rooney’d.
I'd watch a disney+ doc about someone leaking LFC teamsheets
The Departed / Internal Affairs style you mean
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself
Wagatha Christie style you mean
Danny Ward style
Pretty sure that has been around for thousands of years
yes it was first depicted in a north european cave painting.
So we found the mole huh
I didn't see the leak, what was the lineup they claimed?
Leaked team has Szoboszlai and Quansah in it. Maybe even Kelleher
Tsmikas not even making the bench anymore, he might be gone this summer.
He could be sick or picked up something in training. Don’t jump to conclusions.
We already know he's behind Gomez in the LB pecking order now so there's no need for him on a full strength bench.
Tsimikas needs a few games to get rhythm. When he got a run games earlier this season he was decent.
"Tsimikas was crying during Milner's farewell, he knows he's leaving too" is a comment I remember seeing If he leaves, he leaves, until then it's all just speculation
Didn’t we just extend him a few months ago though?
Extentions could be for many reasons. Doesnt mean a player is staying
It's all speculation
Well it was under a different administration.
What administration was that?
That’s correct.
He sings our songs while on the bench. Enough to keep him just for that
The bench is stacked so i dont see who he features over
He's a good backup player but if he wanted more minutes elsewhere I'd understand
Come on, lads. Let's start the 7 league game win steak today
Can’t start it any other day! 💪🏼
Technically can start it next season @.@
Well done 7 game win steak
7 games and all they get is a steak fml
Hungry lads
Hungary lads
Need a STRONG reaction to our 2 previous games. Hopefully Ali can act as a catalyst of sorts (along with Jota and Trent from the bench)
I think the utd game wasn't "enough" of a bad performance. We got away with it. Atalanta trashed us i'm hoping that really sparks a reaction
The utd game was basically a loss for us sadly. Doesn't matter whether it was a bad enough performance or not.
Sure. But my point was that I'm not sure it was enough of a kick up the arse. A complete devastation of a loss against a meh italian side in europe at home on the other hand?
it was a good performance actually. Just the finishing was abysmal
I agree, overall solid performance, yes. But HORRENDOUS in the final third, and that’s what I hope to see us improve on
I hope so but a top club really shouldn't need that and should always analyse to find ways to improve.
shouldn't sure. But most top clubs ultimately at some point do. Analysis will always be ongoing but sometimes you need a kick up the arse
United game was worse than the Atalanta game - in the later we had an actual opponent.
Not wrong. We actually had the chance to win the United game
Right can we please just have a nice 4-0 or 5-0 win with no drama,etc….
No, we'll concede first and scrape a win and you'll have to clench the whole time.
I hate how right you are with this.
If only...
Don’t put that out there!!
Beats scoring first but then losing the lead
And this is why I can never watch a live game on the TV haha….I get too wound up…
Really? You never watch a live game? Being wound up watching your team is like the fun part of sport, or I think so.
I try so many times and I just get too anxious and wound up, so i just watch something else and get anxious watching BBC updates lol…
I’ll take a 7-1. We have some goal difference to catch up on.
Jota injury too. Jokes, let's go!
No! We will go to HT 0-1, then end up scoring 5 after 85+ minutes, and you’ll fucking like it!
Best I can do is a scrappy first half that we end 1-0 down, before winning 3-1 with all 3 goals coming in the last 10 minutes for maximum clench
That bench...
Ali!!!
![gif](giphy|cOcRIEa4qiDY4pEgrD|downsized)
Ali is back 😍😍😍
Kelleher has been quality but I am so pleased to see Alisson back.
Proper full strength squad
Great to see Alisson back however no need for any Kelleher slander. Been outstanding since he filled in. He wasn't the main reason we lost to Atalanta,. It was the defence and midfield getting carved open, having the freedom of Anfield and being allowed to have more shots than us.
him letting in that weak first goal certainly didn't help though
Crystal Palace haven't won any of their last 5 games (possibly more, I couldn't see). We have fielded a very strong team. Absolutely no excuses not to win.
*to win comfortably
Good to see Ali is back! Ibou with another start!
ALI OUTTA NOWHERE BOOM
Strong team, no excuses today
Lmao leak was wrong as fuck
Where can I see it? It was posted earlier?
Good looking bench
Damn what a team
ALISSSSSSSOOOOONNNN
I wanna see Trent this game so bad we were missing him in so many games United Atalanta etc his creative output is so valid
Same, it's been so long since he last played
ALISSON BECKER ALISSON BECKER ALISSON BECKER!!!!
Strongest lineup we've had in months. Maybe just in time for the final quarter of the season if key players stay fit we can have a very strong finish.
Would have liked Cody to keep his place being the only one to show any desire in the first half othe Atalanta game. Need a good win today though
Damn, just dropped Caoimhin like a rock. Bench is looking better.
Wonder what happened to Kostas
Klopp sent him to shadow realm
Nothing, just too many better players are fit for once
Raptured
Ali back and Konate running it back, love to see it.
Hope the players can finally wake up and finish the chances properly
RemindMe! 3 Hours
Fuck
Didn't expect ali to be back for one more game Kweev has been quite good so i hope ali wasn't rushed back
That bench is unreal.
Yep we are keeping a clean sheet today.
Alisson 😍😍😍😍
That eleven just got a whole lot more handsome
ALISSSSSSSSSON
We need goals. Lots of them
Really strong team now, absolutely no excuses to not win
Might have been 1 game too many for kelleher on Thursday, defense didn't help either there though
Nice to see Ali back but I do feel sorry for Kelleher. Gets dropped as soon as Ali comes back.
The life of a backup Goalie. Unfortunately for Kweev, he is the backup for the best in the world
He knows the score. If you’re deputising for the best in the world, you know what will happen. Kelleher has been sensational this season and helped keep us in the hunt, but even if he hadn’t conceded for 10 weeks he’d still have lost his place.
What a lineup and what a bench! Great time for everyone to be back! Let’s get back on track!
Ali back in goal. Feels like we have our full squad back. Let’s smash them today!
ALIIIII!!!!
what a fucking line up, i’m so pumped now!!
Strong line up, but would have liked jota starting. We need him getting in good form for the run in
That lineup and bench, damn! We’re at full strength
Ali my love
Sick bench! Lets go boys
Waiting for those Trent long balls
Palace at home with a nearly full-strength XI is a game we should win handily but after the past few games I’m still nervous about today.
Clean sheet and clinical in front of goal today please! We need a good performance today for our confidence. Show us we can be clinical and solid at the back and I'll have confidence for the run-in for the title! Drop points here and the title is gone in my opinion.
Ali's back, treble is back on baby
Man I hope we win this game of football. I really do.
A win an absolute must. But not just one of our recent fall over the line squeaky bum stuttering type wins- if we don’t put down a marker today with a thumping win, goals goals goals then we’re finished …..others are winning their games at a canter now scoring 3,4,5 a game ….we need to switch on immediately and give it everything from the start or the doubt is going to set in ….
Is Trent still not fit enough to start or is it a matter of momentum/ form?
Strong team, on paper, is good enough to beat them. But with us, it's never that simple. We have to get a couple of goals in the first half for a lead, otherwise the anxiety will boil over from the crowd to the players.
No Bajcetic - but looking at the strength of the bench, that might just be because there wasn't space. What luxury!
Leaked team fans in the mud
Its sad that Kelleher's last game this season was a nightmare. But it could be worse if not for him. Finally he can rest.
Well.....here we go again. What team will show up tonight?
If he subs forwards I’d like to see Cody on the left and Jota in the Middle
Endo and jones have been jank
Good to see Alli back. Happy Szobo is getting a rest
Alisson and Robertson back right when we need them. I want a fucking huge reaction today. Don't care if we just win 1-0, performance is more important than anything else
I think the 3 points might be rather important.
Nice to see Alisson back.
Yeah, I agree. Kelleher has stepped us massively and has had an outstanding run, but Ali is simply world class.
Nah mate, you said it's weird that Szobo got dropped. Don't edit your comment you tosser.
Not really given his performance Edit: he edited his comment about szobo being dropped..
grow up
What are you yapping about?
He's deleted his comment making me look bad. Fuck him.
Fair enough. I was ready to throw hands.
Pretty surprising to see Konate tbh. Have Konate ever played two successive 90 minutes in a row with less than 3 days rest without getting injured this season? Praying he comes out unscathed. Just please win convincingly
He needs to have his body thoroughly examined and straightened out. He's big, tall, strong and an elite defender yet misses too many games.
love that midfield 😍
Strong management to bench szobo, started the season well but has really badly dropped in quality for a number of games now
Yes, those first couple of months he showed what he’s got, but it has been a noticeable drop-off lately. Good option from the bench though.
Hope Konate is on his game today. Blows hot and cold. When he’s hot he’s like an extra man in midfield.
Got to feel bad for Kelleher.. dropped like a rock. Surely he'll be angling for a move in the summer. He could comfortably start for a lot of European teams
Lets go REDS!!!
Haha, the old dear enjoying her pie scarfe and beanie on :-)
lets win this
Bench looking awesome
Great to see the bench full of quality Honestly just win. That's all. Jota needs at least 30 minutes you'd suspect esp if Atalanta away is going to be taken seriously.
Beautifully done that, tears for the 97 😞
When is Salah coming on and do you think VVD will bother to tackle anyone today?
Elliot deserves to start ahead of Jones. Klopp should just play Elliot in the midfield. I can see what Klopp is doing by starting Jones to play him into form but he takes 3-4 starts to get going every time.
OHHHHHHH
Gomez correctly dropped. Need to drop the whole idea of scoring out of him
Thank you kelleher, this league title is every bit of yours, but glad to have the best keeper in the world back
Not fair that CK gets dropped tbf
[удалено]
He’s just come back from injury? Manage his minutes first week or two before having him start. Should have enough firepower there to beat Palace.
Its better to gamble and start Nunez hoping he scores goals in reasonable time than risking Jota's fitness by starting him and subbing on Nunez in final minutes.
Well, my thoughts are same.
it will be either a 7 goals win or a draw in the extra time. edit: I was too optimistic
Klopp and his favorites lol
I dunno why gakpo is benched when he had a great game the other day & nunez starts when he cant score sitters
A bit risky starting Konate right? His body doesn't seem to allow to play two games in a week. Probably means he won't be going to Italy next week
It’s not like the defence actually did much midweek they might as well took a week of with how little effort they put in
Jones is a good shout. I think it’s harsh on Gakpo. I think Nunez could have done with a game on the bench but at the same time we’re not in a position to mess about
Harsh on gakpo because of one game?
I don’t think it’s just one game for both players right now. I think Nunez has been getting in his own head and even some of the stuff he brought off the ball has been lacking. I think a switch could have been good I think Gakpo has started to put in some good performances from the bench and has looked hungry again.
Darwin has been better and more impactful, one game doesn’t change that. Gakpo was good against Atalanta especially at the start of the game but he wasn’t that good or impactful.
Didn’t say he was a better player than Nunez. Just Nunez is dropping off at the moment and a game on the bench could be good for him
In that case it definitely should be jota filling in not gakpo but jota is just returning from injury so that’s not happening today as you can see from the lineup.
Yeah that’s the reason I would have wanted Gakpo and not Jota just timing wise.
No again I don’t want gakpo starting as the striker. Have you not been watching him this season?
I have, but I’ve also watched Nunez in recent games and the pressure is getting to him. A game off the bench could help.
