Why isn't Lamela starting? (Is he on the bench?)

Ineligible

Stop whining you girlie...

Why isn't Lamela starting? (Is he on the bench?)

He was not registered for CL and since he does not qualify for the B Team status he cannot be added until January.

Not in the CL squad.

Pathetic that kwp isn't starting.poch gives youth a chance my arse.n'canttrapaball and shitkoko play though.f##king wonderful

Think Walker-Peters should have played instead of Rose or Aurier.

 

[Flynn]

Are spurs playing tonight?

From the BBC live update page it looks like it's just Liverpool on tonight.

If we'd splashed 7+mil on him he'd be playing.

If Poch is ready to offload Rose in January then KWP should have his place, think a loan is his best bet. Got to say when we signed Aurier I expected a more technical Walker sized full back, we already had the smaller more technical version in Walker-Peters.

 

[mendesstormer]

Did he really need to go that strong. Son, winks and alli shouldve started on the bench

Who would you play instead, though?

Pathetic? That's a bit strong isn't it?

What a weird game to play Sissoko in.

Surely we have some young midfielders worth blooding? What we going to learn from that?

 

[coys200]

Liverpool will lose tonight.

Yeah probably.just seems very much that he is going to spend the whole season wasting away playing 0 football whilst we watch what has been a fairly poor season both as a group and individually where we see the same names play poorly due to either lack of form or tiredness without any threat of being dropped.granted we have been very unlucky with injury but think poch rotation and management has been an area of weakness.
Take wanyama as an example.rushed back,was woefully underpar.picked up another injury not been fit since. Just wish he would give youths a chance.not suguesting 11 kids but just intergrating 1 here and there to give the seniors a rest where needed.seen nothing to suggest they would let us down and would drive competition for places.

Typical,it's always the player that's not playing people go on about.

No surprise really.

BBC 5Live wanted their CL radio commentary from tonight's game at Anfield, but Liverpool refused: - apparently the scousers were pretty miffed that the BBC twice chose Spurs over them for live commentary Vs Dortmund and then Real Madrid.

This is just the Beeb trying to get back in their good books.

With the exception of Llorente this is probably the most athletic lineup we can play. I’m curious to see how this looks.

 

[WiganSpur]

Sterling, Edwards and Skipp or Amos

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Liverpool will lose tonight.

One sincerely lives in hope.

Age is not the only consideration. Aurier still needs match time, possibly more so than Kyle W-P does, who seems able to fit in quite effortlessly. I could be wrong, but that sort of thing is the manager's judgement, and not just a question of giving youngsters a game.
