Morning eds and Reds, is thiago eligible for the squad today? Seen a few conflicting reports?

{Ed002's Note - No he is not.}

Just goes to show then how much rubbish the media spout. I’ve seen loads of reports of him being in the squad and even some saying he could start Today 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Thanks ed02,

According to the official Liverpool F. C. site it has not yet been decided if he will take part, the suggestion being that he is available. We shall all know later!

It seems that Liverpool did submit the paperwork by midday Friday then.

He is as klopp has said he is.

20 Sep 2020 11:01:42
He’s injured already 👀😂.

Lol nice one, Ed002 - he has travelled and is in the squad today.

JC23, come on, now. You know how the media literally make stuff up out of nothing. They spent the whole week trying to create animosity and some fake rivalry between Klopp and Lampard to the point of them "hiring" some body Language expert to read Klopp's movements and concluded (shocking, I know) that Klopp has some animosity for Chelsea and Lampard.

Anyone that knows anything about football knows Thiago would never be ready to even be on the bench today cos he just got back from holiday and has next to no preseason in his legs BUT hey, don't let facts get in the way of some useless media agenda.

Klopp obviously didn’t read the memo 👀😂.

That post had so much arrogance and yet was so incorrect it's funny. What pre season did any club have to make a difference? The fact he was playing a CL final only weeks ago and also international games lately in fact would have made him far sharper than those who had a break. Look at bayern starting their season on fire despite having the shortest time for a pre season than any other side as the benefit to having a shorter break. Every player spent weeks during the C.V. to rest and recharge. There's no way any player will he suffering without a pre season as no club had long to prepare and hardly had only a couple of friendlies to prepare. Since our season finished thiago has played 3 top CL games and 2 Spanish games. Those 5 competitive games are miles more helpful than our players getting a couple of 45 min run outs against the likes of Blackpool. Even if he spent a week on a holiday do you honestly think he went so wild and harmed his fitness ahead of moving to new club and country? He's in fact far less rusty than any of our other midfielders who aren't as match ready.
