It's going to be an interesting team selection for the Wolves game I think. Right now, we only have 1 fit first team striker available in Ekitike, our best midfielder banned, Gakpo maybe not fit, Bradley maybe not fit and kids on the bench.
What would be everybody's preferred line up?
24 Dec 2025 14:10:20
It never bothered klopp, I’d hope
Others get a chance rather than shoe horn players into unfamiliar positions.
24 Dec 2025 14:14:56
Hard one, I’d go;
Alisson
Frimpong
Konate
VVD
Robbo (Although Slot prefers Kerkez)
Grav
Jones
Mac
Wirtz
Ekitike
Chiesa.
24 Dec 2025 14:22:53
Looks about right that Frode, not a great deal to choose from at the minute. I'd personally keep Kerkez in as he seems to be improving and connecting well with Wirtz.
24 Dec 2025 14:24:03
Alison
Jones
Van Dijk
Konate
Robertson or Kerkez
Gravenberch
McAllister
Wirtz
Chiesa
Ekitike
Ngumoha. ( if any game to start him, it’s wolves at home )
Nyoni a decent shout for midfield but where is Bacjetic?
24 Dec 2025 14:47:39
I can genuinely see Slot starting a half cooked Gakpo over Chiesa.
Maybe wrong but a midfielder and full back played ahead of him midweek so can’t see him starting this one.
24 Dec 2025 14:57:14
I think you’re right JK23. Also Red Jones, no Curtis in your line up?
24 Dec 2025 15:14:58
I hope chiesa plays and smashes it, the way he has been frozen out of the starting line up is baffling .
24 Dec 2025 15:15:29
We should be able to beat a terrible Wolves without playing well and with so many injuries.
24 Dec 2025 15:18:34
Last week not midweek.
24 Dec 2025 15:29:39
I’d start Nyoni over macca. Chiesa got more chance of starting the New York marathon than starting for us .
24 Dec 2025 15:36:15
@Frode - He has him at RB.
For me:
Ali
Frimpong Konate Virg Kerkez
Grav Jones Macca
Chiesa Ekitike Wirtz
I'd let Wirtz and Chiesa swap sides as and when they want.
If Gakpo is fit enough I'd consider him, put Wirtz to 10 and drop Macca but in an ideal world I wouldn't have Gakpo or Macca in the starting lineup until they earn it with some better performances off the bench.
24 Dec 2025 16:57:47
He’s at RB Frode.
24 Dec 2025 18:04:55
Sorry missed that one. Might be an option actually with Jones at RB particularly if no one fancies Frimpong there.
