Xhaka doesn't like being boo'd.

Welcome back to Anfield, Granit.

Arsenal fans are shite!!

Looking forward to this. I’m not sure but I think last time arsenal faced us at Anfield in the league cup they beat us 6-3 with their 27 year old kids.

For me I’d rest most our team. If nothing else we need to give more minutes to certain players to bring them up to speed.

Adrian
Larouci
Lovren
Gomez
Milner

Jones
Lallana
Keita

Ox
Origi
Brewster

Get Elliot and Van Den Berg on for some minutes as well.

Should be a decent game. Arsenal aren’t in a great place right now so it depends on how strong a team Emery picks.

4-3 win.

 

[FilthyBloke]

Arsenal fans are shite!!

Only at the Emirates!

 

[RedYank]

Take DT's hat a second time, ya unnerstan?

 

[Craig_Johnston]

I'd imagine the Arse will take this more seriously than we do as they don't have much hope of glory elsewhere. Still, I don't want to see any first teamers risked. Is Shaquiri fit?

 

[nikz200]

Let the kids play ,
Kelleher
Ki Jana Hoever, Sepp,Lovren, Milner
Lallana, Keita, Gini
Elliott, Brewster, Jones

probably its because its the kids, the edge has to go to arsenal , but we will see, no injury , good performance should be all.

 

[Craig_Johnston]

Shaqiri

 

[indianscouser]

"Hello World"- Elliot.

 

[Incognito]

Good ebening boo boys! Emery will definitely start Ozil because that'll be the most Emery thing he can do. Would love an Ox winner to rub in more to their wounds.

How’s your blud bruh feeling about this one?

 

[Incognito]

How’s your blud bruh feeling about this one?

The fact that our first team won't play is a respite for him. The fact that their any team will have to play scares him!

 

[GaryC]

I'd go with
Adrian
Sepp Lovren Gomez Larouci
Milner Lallana
Keita
Ox Brewster Origi
Harvey Elliot and Curtis Jones to come in the 2nd half
Should be good enough for a 2-0 win.

 

[Incognito]

I mean, can't lose to these confused lot really right!

I've mentioned this previously, but getting through into the quarter final would make January pretty congested.

The quarters are due to be played mid-December; the same midweek we're in the World Club Cup. We don't have any other free time to play that game, meaning we'd have to play the quarter early Jan the same time the semi-final first leg for the other half of the draw is played. Therefore having to play one of the semi-final legs (if we're there) in a midweek in Jan, except we'll inevitably have an FA Cup replay then......

I'm all for playing a weakened team like we did in the first game. I wouldn't want to see any of our first xi in the match squad. My only issue is if we progress and were to draw a team we feel we can't do that against e.g. getting Everton or City away in the next round.

I’m all for playing a weakened team. That team is Arsenal.

 

[jaffod]

Really can't risk a Lovren-Gomez CB pairing but I imagine Gomez will play and maybe VDB alongside him. Larouci LB and Milner RB. Will be interesting to see if Lallana starts in the holding role JK has talked about. Keita, Ox, Divock, Brewster and either Elliot or Jones.
Looking forward to this, a bit of relief from the non stop pressure of PL and CL football. Thought we played really well at MK Dons considering it was a mish-mash of experience, youth and players coming back from injury.
Looking forward to seeing Emery grimacing and gurning on the touchline.

 

[Commando]

I'll leave it to Jurgen and his staff to decide team selection, formation and tactics.

I've mentioned in other threads that I have a Gooner friend who always used to gloat when they'd beat us. He'd be straight on his phone with a text to rub it in. He hasn't had the chance for a while now. Hopefully he'll be quiet on Wednesday night.

Presuming Elliot's suspension is complete, why not start him?
Hoever, Lovren, Gomez and Milner
Lallana, Keita and Jones
Elliot, Origi and Ox

Tear them asunder
Play the next round when we are in it.

 

[Notasuperfan]

I don't get it...Ki jana Hoever is still at the u17 world cup. He is not even in England!

No Origi?

No Origi?

Don’t like him starting games. He’s boss off the bench running at tired defenders.

I would rather give Brewster a go.

He did alright starting against Barcelona last season

I agree, just think he'll start. Strange one isn't it, is a proper super sub.

Good give the young bloke a chance.

 

[Hope in your heart]

Playing Kelleher then? It's a sign I think. It will be a team of youngsters and squaddies playing Arsenal tomorrow. Slightly surprised that Adrian doesn't get a start though, but maybe it's a contractual thing (or Kelleher is actually the next genuine big thing, who knows).

Anyway, I don't think that Klopp will shed a tear if we lose out. It will be actually a relief, considering our already packed winter schedule.

 

[Quicksand]

I don't get it...Ki jana Hoever is still at the u17 world cup. He is not even in England!

Apologies
Milner RB Laroucci LB.
