Out for the season potentially. A first injury blow to your "key 5" all season! In late april!There's a possibility Firmino is injured for us tonight, not that we should need him for Huddersfield.
It'll be a big blow if he's out for Barcelona though.
The worm has turned.Out for the season potentially. A first injury blow to your "key 5" all season! In late april!
Firmino's confirmed as out for tonight but not the season at the moment. It'd make the Barcelona game far more difficult without him though if he is out.Out for the season potentially. A first injury blow to your "key 5" all season! In late april!
Definitely confirmed?Firmino's confirmed as out for tonight but not the season at the moment. It'd make the Barcelona game far more difficult without him though if he is out.
Yeah that is a big blow. I had you as favorites against Barcelona. Without Firmino I think it will be more 50/50 with Barca maybe as slight favorite.Firmino's confirmed as out for tonight but not the season at the moment.

For tonight yeah he's out. Chamberlain's in the squad for the first time in over a year.Definitely confirmed?
Yeah I think so too. I thought we edged it with a full squad but take one of our front three out and it probably gives Barcelona the edge.Yeah that is a big blow. I had you as favorites against Barcelona. Without Firmino I think it will be more 50/50 with Barca maybe as slight favorite.
Alisson, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mane & Salah?Is he really that big of a blow? I can think of five players that are at least as if not more important than Firmino.
Exactly!Alisson, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mane & Salah?
Yeah I'd probably agree but the real issue isn't Firmino being injured, it's who replaces him.Exactly!
Could you not just play a front two of Salah and Mane, and bring in an extra midfielder? E.g. playing Keita at the tip of a diamond. Or would that not suit Klopp's system?Yeah I'd probably agree but the real issue isn't Firmino being injured, it's who replaces him.
Sturridge gives us nothing when he's playing and Origi isn't a great alternative either.
Maybe. I'd prefer that with Shaqiri in behind them but Klopp's been set on his 4-3-3 for a while now.Could you not just play a front two of Salah and Mane, and bring in an extra midfielder? Or would that not suit Klopp's system?
I think he's had some injuries as well but Klopp's gone off Shaqiri completely since Christmas. He was doing well for us in December as well.I thought Klopp might have rested one or two players seen as the Barca and Newcastle games are going to be far tougher and with less time to recover in between. Today was the chance to do it as you do not get easier games than Huddersfield at home. I'd have gone for Shaqiri over Sturridge and put Salah in the middle, especially as Shaqiri is more likely to make an impact off the bench in the next few games and it would be better therefore to try and give him some momentum/confidence.
I feel for you. Thanks for sharing.There's a possibility Firmino is injured for us tonight, not that we should need him for Huddersfield.

Better to be up 3-0 at HT and then replace our most important players, rather than see fecking Origi struggle en have to bring on our best players regardless to force a win in the last 30' or so...I thought Klopp might have rested one or two players seen as the Barca and Newcastle games are going to be far tougher and with less time to recover in between.

Agreed. Plus Sturridge is dog poo nowadays, even against Huddersfield.I thought Klopp might have rested one or two players seen as the Barca and Newcastle games are going to be far tougher and with less time to recover in between.

He's not at the moment. It's a slight strain so he's being left out.Where did you guys hear or see that Firmino is out for the season? Only on a lunch break from work so haven't checked twitter all day
To be fair he was never really going to get many opportunities with Mane and Salah ahead of him. I don't particularly rate him. He's a good player, decent option off the bench for you but he was never going to threaten for a starting spot.I think he's had some injuries as well but Klopp's gone off Shaqiri completely since Christmas. He was doing well for us in December as well.
You'd beat Huddersfield at home with Origi up front. They're comfortably one of the worst three or four teams the league has seen.Better to be up 3-0 at HT and then replace our most important players, rather than see fecking Origi struggle en have to bring on our best players regardless to force a win in the last 30' or so...

I hope this eerie resemblance doesn't mean Endgame for City's title race....
It's going to have to be an exceptionally light groin strain to only keep him out for this one game!He's not at the moment. It's a slight strain so he's being left out.
Could only be a precaution. The kinesio type on the picture might suggest it's nothing too serious.It's going to have to be an exceptionally light groin strain to only keep him out for this one game!
Huddersfield have the lowest goals scored in Europe's top five leagues with 20.I'm expecting a 5-0 but it would be wonderful if we got Crystanbul 2.0 if Liverpool left themselves open while trying to chase GD.
Of course, it's a snowball's chance in hell. But stranger things have happened.Huddersfield have the lowest goals scored in Europe's top five leagues with 20.
I'm not sure they've got it in them to pull that off.
