      We should win this game easily, because Hoff needs to attack heavily and that opens up space - exactly for what we are built. I am more worried about Arsenal than Hoff...best recipe to get in trouble though. :)

      Mignolet

      TAA
      Matip
      Gomez
      Robertson

      Henderson
      Can
      Milner

      Mane
      Salah
      Firmino

      That's what I'd go with.

      They'll play without pressure and look to take it to us. Gotta be up for it.

      Origi needs to do a lot more to deserve a starting spot. I personally would go with Sturridge again, he needs games.

      Robertson has to keep his place.

      Klopp will rotate and Robertson will play at Arsenal but not tomorrow. Origi will be given his last chance because Solanke in front of him in the order.

      Not totally convinced on that myself - yeah he had a good game v Palace but I can't see him being launched into three big games in a week. 

      I think the 5 players who were left out at the weekend were left out for a reason and that's to come back in tomorrow night.

      The eleven who played last week were by no means scintillating (we weren't on Saturday either) but they got a good win away and will likely be trusted to complete their job at home.

      I am more worried about Arsenal than Hoff...

      Yeah - them losing at the weekend is going to fire them up rather than send them into a downward spiral IMO.

      Given the attacking options, Origi shouldn't even make the bench.

      Solanke, Mane and Salah to start in attack. Firmino with an attacking midfield role. Not really fussed about the rest.

      That's what I would go with as well.

      Hendo / Can as 2 holding players if needed.

      Robertson at left back, he played very well at the weekend and deserves to keep his place.

      He's not that bad, he's just without confidence. He needs to find that goal very soon or it will turn ugly for him.

      Good thing is at least they won't sit behind the ball and we have no need to go all guns blazing, saying that it would be nice to get an early goal.

      Robertson as LB and Firminio as the "striker" please, I worry a bit about the midfield creativity but it might not be so important in this game, I think we'll have more than enough for Hoffenheim anyway

      Origi is a one goal in 4 games kinda guy. 1 in 3 is below par, but not awful. 1 in 2 is good. He's half of good.

      We should fly out the traps with the European atmosphere driving us forward, get a goal or two then sit back and hit them on the break.

      Our midfield has struggled this season but let's remember,it's not as if they were dreadful last season. They are capable of playing good football. Missing Lallana and/or Phil is a blow, but this group can do a job for us tomorrow. What I really want to see is a better job done of taking the chances that are created. We definitely should be able to score multiple goals.

      Team is good but ...

      Solanke full 90 mins not Origi.

      Robertson is au naturelle at left back   certainly not Moreno .


      Gone for 2-0 .

      Word is Can has the same illness as Phil but apparently he will be ready to play, unlike Phil.
