Wonder if we’ll see Gakpo tonight?

I'm guessing he starts in a strong side. His clearance went through a few days ago and he's been training since.

4 days recovery since Brentford and we have no midweek game next week so I'm guessing Klopp will go for his strongest side. Probably Alisson, Trent, Matip, Konate, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Gakpo, Nunez, Salah.

I hope that’s the team but I think he”ll give a few of the youngsters a run out.

Excited to Gakpo and how he gels with Nunez

Does the strength of Klopp’s team selection suggest that priorities have suddenly changed. Elliot not starting is a plus. The lad needs more time and less pressure to develop. Gakpo has joined at a difficult time and it will be interesting to see how he copes.Let’s face it he has been playing in a very poor league compared to the Premiership.His stats are great but I’m sure he will things more difficult in a league that has numerous high quality teams. I’ll also be interested to see how Konate and Matip work together on what coul be a partnership for several matches to come.

Sigh...

Oh dear,  we love conceding the first goal, I think it is meant to happen, a norm for us.

When wolves attack they look more dangerous and likely to score, we've been poor so far to say the least.

We look quite slow when we attack, there seems to be lack of urgency, pace.

Beautiful from NUNEZZZZ

That was some pick out by Trent and an equally impressive finish by Nunez. One for the highlight reel.

That ball and finish was absolutely delightful. Not been impressed again so far though..  the midfield looking sluggish once again unfortunately. I love all 3 of them, but they are really struggling with the amount of games and and the intensity of them. One of them will get injured if we carry on running them into the ground.

I don’t think we’ve conceded 2 worse goals in the same game since the CL final in Kiev.

Poor enough again tonight and imo we are lucky to still have a chance. Never offside for me so VAR did us a favour. Extra game on the cards though.

Safe enough debut from Gakpo. Blended in but didn't really make a lot happen.

Poor from us and personally I think Wolves deserved the win.

Have to say I agree with RTID and RS never an offside for me, he was offside in the build up but he was back on when the ball from which he scored was played in .We got lucky there.
In the old days when anyone got a slice of luck like that in the FA Cup people used to say their name is on the trophy, let’s hope so.
