KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Starting XI for LC Final

Feels like the team picks itself for this Sunday:

Kelleher
TAA, Matip, VVD, Robertson
Fabhino, Thiago, Henderson
Salah, Mane, Diaz

Assuming Jota and Firminio not fit to start. I think Klopp has already ready said that Kelleher will start in goal.

Any other ideas?

eeeek! I'm sorry but unless Alisson is injured or banned he should be starting. "Thanks very much Kelleher for your contribution in this tourny but best 11 for a Final, no matter what, you'll still get a medal". Let Kelleher take over GK duties for FA Cup and again if we get to the Final, Alisson takes over!


Alisson

TAA, Matip, VVD, Robbo
Hendo, Thiago, Fab
Salah, Jota, Mane

He said Bobby probably won't be ready but Jota has a chance.

Kelleher is starting which mind boggling imo. Klopp is being sentimental here which is wrong, we haven't won this trophy in a decade so I think we are under pressure to win and the best players should start why take a gamble like this in such an important game? Its disrespectful to Alisson.

I don't think it's disrespectful to Alisson but rather would have been to Kelleher if he didn't play. He is the one who brought us here

It's the wrong decision by Klopp if he starts Kelleher over Alisson and could hound him for the rest of his life!

That's a controversial statement to make but here's why:

We are on the cusp of our greatest EVER season with a never done before Quadruple...even potentially if we add the Charity Shield, Super Cup and World Club Cups as a carry over...that would be 7 Trophies come February 2023, that is EVERYTHING WON that we have participated in one season!

Arguments over which is the best Football team EVER would be nipped in the bud.

Then you have to look at just what Alisson brings to us - Salah's 150th goal assist v Norwich.

The injury time header v West Brom last season...there's plenty more what Kelleher simply could not do, what I believe is The World's best current Goalkeeper - Alisson can do.

Chelsea will sure as hell be playing their best players available, so why would we give them an advantage before a ball has been kicked?

Somebody at the club has to have a word with Klopp on this and help him understand the magnitude of this decision.

I am reading jota could be fit for final

Kelleger should play he was promised that and klopp should keep his promise he won’t let us down he is not far behind Alyson

Alisson played semi-final 2nd leg v Arsenal (Kelleher was sub)
Adrian played against Preston (Marcelo was sub)

It's not as if Kelleher has been the sole Goalkeeper in this competition.

Here's hoping this decision doesn't come to bite us on the ass!

Didn't he stop penalties against Leicester

He will get a medal if we win, I can understand if he doesn't get one as he helped us get here. In this case Minamino and Origi should start because they are the top scorers in the competition. It doesn't make sense imo.

Leave sentiment out of this, and give it to the best man for the job
