A win is a win is a win.
Beating Rangers certainly doesn't mean that Reds will suddenly be thinking about Istanbul, but two things mattered tonight - furthering our ambitions for qualification for the knock-out stages and building valuable confidence ahead of what will be a tough trip to play League leaders Arsenal.

Jota didn't do anything "wrong" for me against Rangers. Indeed, on merit I probably wouldn't have Fabinho in, nor Jota be missing - but I feel three midfielders would be just that little bit more solid than having four forwards.
Saying that, if anyone said "same team again please" I am absolutely for us giving that a go - very fine margins on selection for me.
It's worth pointing out that Arsenal do concede goals - so there is certainly something to be said for trying to get at them. A win would really do absolute wonders for this still-stuttering side.
Fingers tightly crossed.

Why are you starting Nunez?
Firminos scored goals lately, I'm not his biggest fan but he's got some form back he has to play one of the few that deserves credit lately and you want to drop him?

we are liverpool football club, not fucking norwich.
Because he's due a hat trick after the one's he missed tonight And. he'll cause them different problems and ask them different questions than Bobby with the pace and movement and runs in behind their full backs ahead of Mo and Diaz to be released he was making tonight

Fair question.
I don't see it as dropping Firmino. October is jam-packed and I believe in rotation. I was also pleased with the positions that Núñez took up - yes, his finishing needs to be more clinical, but he got several shots off.
Also feel that defending and attacking set pieces could be the difference and I'd rather have Núñez for that, plus he has more raw pace for counter-attacking opportunities compared to Bobby.
If Bobby starts I certainly won't moan about it - tidy finishes against Brighton.
we won't get as many chances v arsenal it makes no sense starting Nunez for this game, None what so ever,
Firmino will also help the midfield out.
He can start against the mighty rangers again.

Klopp may see it that way too and if Bobby starts against Arsenal I won't complain.
Salah, Jesus, Zinchenko, Martinelli, Odegaard (and others) are all in-and-around 5'11 or so - I do think height could prove a factor on set pieces - but I'm not the Manager, so nothing to worry about.
Baffling

Ok if it’s same formation..
Alisson
Trent
Matip
VVD
Tsimikas
Fab
Thiago
Salah
Bobby
Diaz
Jota
Playing that formation Bobby’s position is virtually a 10 and he is probably the best 10 in our squad (bar maybe Carvalho) Jota is most definitely not a 10 but he does score goals.
Núñez… meh

Yes - this one ^.
The lad needs the bench after that tonight. Make him hungry - make him angry…make him something.
