It’s funny really, I think the change in formation and moving players around has been hugely positive overall but one player that I’d say hasn’t really benefited from it is Firmino. I still think he’s best as a 9.

Looking unlikely Dejan plays vs Bayern. Matip/Fabinho at CB, going to be fun!!

Thank god the 1st leg is at Anfield. Hopefully the crowd can help compensate for that defence.

Problem is they have an easier defence to get away goals too.

Not too quiet, you just posted it on a public forum.
I’ve had mixed thoughts about this game since last week. One day we should win, the next we will lose. I’m wondering if getting knocked out early in this comp will help our premier league challenge

Lingard isnt a loss for them. Last time away to them hoofing it long to Lukaku / Fellaini and flicking it on caused TAA all sorts of issues. Hopefully Jurg has learnt from last time although OGS probably wont resort to a barrage of long balls this time.

Ive read that Jurg is considering playing Hendo at CB. Would prefer Fabinho as he already played that role away to Brighton.
Dont think getting knocked out in CL is great for our momentum. CL campaign creates a feel good vibe and should help us challenge for the title IMO.
Gomez & Ox back fit would be akin to new signings for us in the run in.
I can’t see Gomez returning this season, I just can’t. Ox May have a small part to play.
If required, Fabinho should play CB instead of Hendo

Last update for Gomez was should be available by the start of March and that surgery at the start of this month was successful. Shouldn't take the rest of the season for his injury to heal, if a plate was inserted to assist the bone healing it shouldn't take too long at all before the bone is strong enough for contact football. My wife had exactly the same scenario (broken ankle whilst snowboarding, didn't heal properly at the joint after 4-6 weeks then surgery with a plate - full recovery a month after surgery). if Gomez had a different operation then all bets are off but this is the usual operation for broken ankles that do not heal properly. Details of the exact procedure Gomez had don't seem to be available as far as I can find.
Just five days ago I read Gomez will need another four to six weeks before he can train again. Seasons done for him.
If it’s true that he still needs four to six weeks from a week ago he’ll he fit by late March. Then he’ll need a week or two training before he makes the squad which takes us into a week or two into April. Four months out.
Bayern haven't kept a clean sheet for a long time, and the players in the Bundesliga aren't exactly Mane and Salah
We'll have a makeshift defense but we should be going into it trying to blow them away

Yes, we should press Bayern relentlessly. Sitting back and exposing our makeshift Cb duo could be disastrous. Second leg we play on the counter.

The time frame is 4 to 6 weeks to be match fit. Returning to training will be a significant amount of time prior to that. I expect he will be back playing 1st - 2nd week of March. If the surgery didnt go as planned it would have been a longer recovery but the club publically stated surgery was successful.

I think we will see both Gomez and Ox this season. Ox has looked great in training in the last week or so. I reckon he is two or three weeks away max.

Also I think Henderson is being groomed to play at CB because Klopp doesnt want to move Fab out of midfield where he is so vital. Be interesting to see what we go with. But Im thinking TAA-Henderson-Matip-Robbo.
If we come away with a clean sheet with that, I'll be stoked!
