Real sickener that Ox looks like he picked up a bad knee injury, Klopp said it looks bad, unusual when a manager says that before a scan, real shame for him and us. We are down to 3 fit MF from what I can see - Milner/Henderson/Wij, we know Henderson is injury prone and 3 games in a week is a big risk.
Can is not back yet, he will need a few weeks to get fit anyway, so his season is done, looks like Ox is out, can Wilson & Woodburn step up? other option is TAA in MF and Clyne at RB., Moreno has played MF but we can't let him near the starting line up after WBA display. This is when Stalwarts like Lucas come in useful.
Stoke game is a must win to keep ahead of Chelsea, they will smell blood and keep the pressure on.

Bit clumsy sometimes giving crazy free kicks away, but he was a monster yeah, this is when you need an experienced player to come on near the end at 5-0 and kill the game calming it down, someone happy to play 10-15 games a season. We let a few too many go without replacing them, but I guess with CL we can only register so many.

We should have replaced Coutinho

If Ox hadn't been injured we would've had Wij coming on for the last 15 mins. As it was he played very well tonight.

He's a plodder Degs.
Nowt spectacular, but quietly gets on with the job to a reasonable standard.

Every good team needs a player like that, I thought that was where Milner was heading, but he's still a fulcrum of MF, probably our best all round MF player, which shows you we still need to strengthen CM, even with Keita coming in, especially if Can go's, which looks certain.

Isn't Milner top of the assist list in the Champs League, the guys a machine and can still provide the quality when it matters. We are now down to the bare bones though and i can't see that we have any scope to rotate the midfield 3 before the end of the season. Getting Can back would be huge boost.

Nah Growls I agree with encrip, he's not a world beater but he's a necessary part of the team. He stepped up tonight and had a very good game.
