‘What was the point in buying him?’ LFC fans react to starting XI

Posted by

We actually think this starting XI picks itself today, but some fans online still took offence to the side Jurgen Klopp chose to face Manchester United today.

The boss went with Joe Gomez over Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, Alberto Moreno over Andrew Robertson on the other side – and kept Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Daniel Sturride on the bench – with Coutinho moved to the front-three.

With Sadio Mane injured, this is the strongest XI available to us, although we’d have considered playing James Milner at right-back – with both Gomez and Trent slightly out of form.

Supporters will always debate which players should be in the lineup, but an hour before our biggest game of the season, we don’t understand the type of fan that starts complaining on Twitter.

Collectively, we should poor as much support and good feeling as possible into the cause – not question Klopp’s judgement – especially when it’s sensible choices like today.

Some fans need to have a serious look at themselves.
