Liverpool sweat on Salah, Mane and Keita as AFCON needs 'urgent attention'

The governing body of African Football has claimed that 'urgent attention' is needed ahead of the start of AFCON 2022

I knew they were coming... he couldnt not with a win like that against our biggest rivals.

I think that they were starting to boo when they thought that Klopp wasn’t going to do the fist pumps.

It's this but edited.

If Hendo, Fabinho and Keita are all fit for the game after, then Jones and Ox could play this one.

Maybe something like this (Factoring in that Kelleher and Gordon are ruled out, and Dixon-Bonner played yesterday)

Mane-Minamino-Origi
Jones-Morton-Ox
Kostas-Gomez-Konate-Neco
Adrian

Subs: Alisson, Phillips, Matip, Robertson, Balagizi, Musialowski, Jota

I would have Henderson on the bench just for leadership in the dressing room and to come on if needed to shore up the midfield.

Wind back the clock for Matip and have him at DM like he was at Schalke.

Good idea but Matip will never be in a league cup squad this season apart from maybe the final if we make it.

The AFCON can't be postponed again as world cup is next year and the next AFCON is scheduled to go ahead in Ivory Coast June 2023.


Quite frankly there seems little point in playing this AFCON. Also FIFA are running the FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar as a preparation tournament for the World Cup next year from 30 Nov to 18 December.


This includes 4 African teams (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt) plus possibly 4 others depending on qualifiers next month. Salah isn't playing in this obviously but there will be some players for those teams who will have to play both tournaments, Qatar 2022 in November next year and then AFCON again in June 2023.


Obviously I am biased being a Liverpool supporter but scheduling of AFCON in January this year seems pointless with the competition played every 2 years and the one off FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar.

That triangle between our right side midfielder, Mo and Trent is just causing so much havoc this season

We've essentially pushed the right midfielder so far up we're playing a really lopsided 4-2-3-1 and it's helping Mo and Trent a lot.

Can't believe Ole didn't do his homework at all to try and stop it, all 5 goals came from an overlap down the right

I've lost track - where can we watch the Preston North End game?

Mo should've done it when he got the hat trick, at least take his shirt off or something

I just have a feeling about Bellingham. I reckon we're massively into him, and will make a proper attempt at signing him.

After how well Sancho is doing I'd be wary of spending big bucks on him

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Bellingham is miles clear

They want 100mil.

Matip starts. No Musialowski or Balagizi, under 18s winger Harvey Blair starts instead for his debut.

Pitaluga, Beck, Bradley and Dixon-Bonner all on the bench after playing for the U23s 2 days ago.

Another video for the rotation

When the scuffle breaks out after Ronaldo is being a little pussy and kicking someone when they are laying on the floor. Watch Ibou just move Fred out of the way with one arm. Beast. Haha.

 

[gaskin]

Not sure how these are allowed.

Yeah I get that feeling we are proper into him aswell. Whether we can get it done though is another matter entirely. I think City will be all over him too and BVB will want like 700 million dollars so....

The away support are chanting Ole’s at the wheel hahaha

Gomez having a shocker. Adrian saving his arse.
