He's already in my top 3 all time French Liverpool players

He's just edged ahead of Bruno "the next Zidane" Cheyrou

[JockStrap]

Alisson

Bradley Konate Van Dijk Robbo

Gravenberch Mac Allister

Szoboslai Wirtz Jones

Ekitike

Bradley and Robbo the two starting changes from the Brighton game. Harsh on Kerkez because he played well but Robbo is still the better player.

Hoping Slobo is fit.

Sounds like Slobo will play and Frimpong is back. I like my lineup above though wouldn't be surprised to see Kerkez start.

Team confirmed

Alisson

Bradley Konate Van Dijk Kerkez

Szoboslai Gravenberch Jones

Wirtz Mac Allister

Ekitike

Need that 3 in midfield there can see some good rotation of positions there too

Get the win, NO excuses

It's most likely a 4231 Nineteenx

Some tentative good news doing the rounds that Isak’s issue is lower leg rather than Knee.

Now although not great at all that could hopefully mean no ACL or MCL… So hopefully his season isn’t done

That's a bonus!

I thought it was a shocking challenge. If it had been anywhere else on the pitch it would have been a red card. Certainly more of a red card than both Simons and Romero's.

Agreed but Romero a total thug - I’d send him off before KO if I was officiating

Initially I was so concerned about the pronation of the joint, but -

Watching him walk off (albeit assisted) means he probably hasn't done the LCL there, which is usually the concern when you get that outward pronation.

I'm no medical expert, but am now quietly confident that if Isak is out, it won't be for terribly long - hopefully!

- so am still quietly confident he'll be alright.

LCL often isn't as long as time out as MCL and the dreaded ACL but still would be poor.

Hopefully he is back soon. Until he is, the silver lining (especially with Salah away, Gakpo out etc) is that Hugo has a chance to really announce himself as our "best" forward and hopefully he thrives in this environment, encouraging others to be at their best - that "friendly competition" vibe and all that.

Sky repots that there's fear Isak has a significant lower leg injury. Not looking good.
