Proud of the mighty reds. magnificent effort all round in 2nd half of season. can see with all the muscle injuries we getting how much it is taking out of us. Really do hope thiago ok but I've my doubts. mane, hendo and thiago are best players 2day I thought.
If fab and thiago out r not 100% it will make next sat v tough, I would make us favs with full strength team but without them 2 it a different story. Keita poor 2day I thought, looked v slow. Milner not quite up to the v top level as good as he is.

A massive effort by everyone associated with the team and club, it wasn’t to be.
Thiago doesn’t look good unfortunately.
The ridiculous fixture schedule is catching up with us.

I thought Milner helped bring a composure to team team that it lacked in the first half.

Milner and Modric going at it next week in the CL final at a combined age of 72 with them both being 36. Sadly that’s where the similarities end and that’s no dig at Milner.

Like Thiago, Modric seems to see the game through different eyes and we need our best midfield 3 out there to play against him and 2 of those are Fab and Thiago with both maybe not even being fit enough to play.

The ridiculous fixture schedule is our own fault to be fair Juicer. We've played every possible game we could this season.

Going into the final without Fabinho and Thiago is catastrophic. Henderson, Milner and Keita against any three of Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and Valverde is like taking a pea shooter to a knife fight.

We can't start with Milner next week. I just hope Thiago and Fabinho are fit to start with Henderson. I can't see Thiago being ready so it'll have to be Naby Lad which doesn't fill me with confidence. Milner can come on to stiffen up the midfield as we see the game out and get his customary booking.

Going 3 nil down to Barcelona with out Bobby and Salah was worse imo and we know how that played out. Henderson and Milner bring a high level of intangibles. Hendo has been the driving force a lot and I expect nothing less.

I can see Fabinho making it, not Thiago unfortunately.

You are right JK. Modric is still playing at some level and completing 90 mins no problem. Kross also to a slightly lesser extent but its remarkable how they continue to churn out great performances at their age. Fair play.

what about fab- hendo and curtis jones? at least jones can bring the ball forward and provide the energy.

Keita should be a shoe in really but can we truly trust him to perform on saturday? we can afford to carry no passengers.

Gutted for Thiago- 3 cup finals this season and he is injured for 2 of them- he will be a massive miss.

Yes Fabinho should be there for the final (Klopp said so) . No idea if he'll be able to play well or not.

Klopp has said Thiago is likely to miss the final. Only hope Fabinho is available and 100%.

I’d rather start number than keita, he doesn’t have the defensive nouse to deal with real madrids midfield. We’ve got a quality squad but Thiago really does add that but of ooffff to the team plus the fact the lads won it all and wanted to be here is a dream.

Fair play to City. I think we have a right to bemoan the luck they had over christmas with availability and referee decisions, but to come from 2-0 down to win the title on the final day takes a lot of guts and they have my respect. I don’t think we’ll make the same mistakes we did early on in the league campaign this season, and I fully expect us to win the title next year, regardless of what happens with the likes of Salah and Mane.

You can’t win them all, but that’s football. It’s all about the journey and i have nothing but unconditional love for our boys. I just hope we can put it all right in Paris in a weeks time. Anybody who says the League is more important is silly. The currency of prestige and glory in club football is the Champions League. If we bring it home it’s still one of the greatest seasons in our history.

Is Thiago 100% out?

Like everybody else on here - not having a full fitness assessment on any player in the squad - I think our starting team next week is going to be

Ali

Trent
Ibou
VVD
Robbo

Hendo
Fabs
Naby

Mo
Sadio
Luis

I think Thiago won’t be fit and along with (sadly) ;Big Div will be missing from the squad.
