Do we know what the club have planned for the world cup players? Are we even sure that Kev and Gundo will be available?

Why - have they got the Boiler man coming?

i think there is a really good chance both teams will be a lot stronger than first thought for this game.

I hope everyone, even republicans, atheists and left-wing socialists, joins in a rousing chorus of 'God Save the King' for this match.

I also hope for the revival of an old chant with new words. 'Jurgen Klopp, Jurgen Klopp, is it true what people say, you are a twat?'

Slight grammatical correction for accuracy.

Probably.

I could see Grealish playing if England lose against France as he's barely kicked a ball at the WC.

Same could be said for Eddy ?

 

[JGL07]

Same could be said for Eddy ?

But he wouldn’t be playing anyway.

Are Spain getting knocked out? or are you assuming the Spanish lads are worse than the others left in the comp?

It's was made on the presumption thst Spain would go out to Portugal in the qfs

Will never sing God Save the King.

The Jurgen Klopp song certainly has legs, however!

Just a reccy on where we are up to squad wise. Currently 11 players still at the world cup but at least one coming home this weekend (holland v argies) and a good chance 5 more from england.

Of the 11 only the top 4 below have been first choice - Cancelo youd think is now dropped for the rest of the tournament however far they go and the way that portugal played in the 6-1.

So it’s really only Bernardo and Dias id be concerned about as they look good to make the semis which is 1 week before the league cup game. Plus maybe Ake and Stones if their teams get any further - we know Alvarez won’t be first choice for city anyway.

Ake - Playing, into QFs
Bernardo - Playing, into QFs
Dias - Playing, into QFs
Stones - Playing, into QFs
Foden - Playing, into QFs, missed some games
Alvarez - Playing, into QFs, missed some games
Walker - Playing, into QFs, missed some games
Cancelo - Dropped for 2nd Round, into QFs
Grealish - Barely played, into QFs
Ederson - Barely played, into QFs
Philips - Barely played, into QFs

Laporte - Out 2nd Round
Rodri - Out 2nd Round
Akanji - Out 2nd Round

Gundogan - Out Groups
De Bruyne - Out Groups

Ortega - Not gone
Haaland - Not gone
Mahrez - Not gone
Palmer - Not gone
Gomez - Not gone
Rico Lewis - Not gone

The bottom 11 players actually make a balanced and decent league cup side to play liverpool
