I'd be loathe to start Konate given his injury history. I'd go with Endo at the back and Morton in midfield (assuming he's in the champions league squad). Diaz on the left and Darwin in the middle

Hopefully Jota isn't to series ( l know unlikely)
I'm reluctantly going for Konate to start off..No idea who can play in his place or that of Virgil's
I was gonna choose Endo, but be then short of a person to play DM..

Like to see better pressing & stopping this dropping off letting players run at us & advance towards & into our box
Part of why Robbo’s dropped off is he’s being asked to drop off & it’s not his game, he’s really good at pressing & keeps on his game by being on his man hassling him & stopping him picking the ball up easy & getting turned & running us
I was literally screaming at the TV for the first time in a long time yesterday, dropping off, letting them advance when we had about 5 back v their 3 & no-one went to close the player down, let him get his head up & thrn switch it & they were nearly in, happened several times & has been happening in all our games
Defenders retreating with the opposition having runners & no pressure or even attempted pressure on the ball, not fucking good enough & Slot needs to sort that out & understand both Virgil & Konate are happy 1v1 or 2v2 have our LB pushed on against their RFWD or RWB
Our play without the ball has gone downhill a lot under Slot
With the ball when the ball is on to release a player or find him in space in isolation to run his man he needs to have them play it as they used to, too many times in too many games and again yesterday we had a wide player in acres & the player in possession took another needless touch & then another & then another then passed it to the player by which time the FB was right on him as he received it
So many times from our corner we won the ball from the clearance, mostly wide/inside right, we had FOUR FUCKING PLAYERS on the shoulder all with the run on their defenders looking for the ball to be put back stick, we went sideways or backwards
I like the passing game I grew up on it, but that wasn’t the long pass or the short pass it was the right fucking pass to the right player when it was on, we pass it for the fucking sake of it far too much with too many players duping their own stats playing nothing safety dance passes

Liverpool Subs: Kelleher, Jaros, Endo, Konate, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Gakpo, Elliott, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Danns, Morton.
Darwin Nunez starts as Liverpool make four changes for tonight’s Champions League fixture with Lille.
Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah come into the Reds’ line-up at Anfield, while there is also a return for Curtis Jones.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cody Gakpo, Ibrahima Konate and Alexis Mac Allister are the players who make way from the team deployed at Brentford on Saturday.
Someone give me a valid reason why chiesa isn’t starting
Danns on the bench - IF he could get a CL goal tonight - that would be marveloso
Team confirmed
Alisson
Bradley Quansah Van Dijk Tsimikas
Sloppy Gravenberch Jones
Salah Nunez Diaz
Get the win, no excuses
Absolute madness. Should have been a complete reserve side.
Big Virg, Mo and Grav should definitely have been rested.
And yeah, very strange with Chiesa...
