By not starting Coutinho, Klopp is taking the sting out of the game. Lulling us into a false sense of security whilst also sending a message to his players that if they lose, it is minor as half their team isn't available.

Im worried of Dramian.Just get the win. Just get the win.
Oh feck it - SMASH THEM 4-0!We are clear favourites because of better form, but form means nothing in derbies, and you just know the scousers will be up for it. Personally I will be very happy if we can get settled in, and get past the first quarter without a red card.
Possibly, but it would obviously be an easier matchup for the young RB, and could give him confidence early on.Did we spike Klopp's drink?It's written in the stars … 14 points in the "line-up" bag (so far)
Klopp looks coked up.
"I got coffee but in the end it was tea" - WTFCan't stand Klopp. He just comes across as fake.Very confident after seeing the lineups. We'll win 3-0We have to capitalize on City's miseryHaha the old coffee tea switcharoo, take that Klopp!Klopp's nervous laughter.
"Jurgen, tell me...."
-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Yes!!!! Yes!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!Seems to be a last minute change for every game for us due to an injury now. And this ongoing Matip situation is joke.Jones is always a worry against a big side.The meltdown on here if we fail to win.
It's a scary thought. Back to those awful threads that start popping up whenever things aren't going well.Darmian's the only one that worries me in that line-up. Hope he puts in a solid performance.Klopp's interview was like an audition for the Joker. It was just cackles and looking a bit deranged.Sourness
Yeah unfortunately that's how I see it too. :My heart is racing. Come on United, don't disappoint us.
Hope we get dodgy decision after decision today to push him over the edgeA win is a win is a win. Let's win, damn it.
The 4th goal in a 4-0 win isn't considered the winner.
......Michael Oliver is the referee
It's all for the cameras.If the injuries didnt confirm it. That godawful kit does, we arent winning today.Got to laugh at all the Liverpool fans playing the Underdog card.
Surely they should be confident of an easy win. They keep spouting on about Jose being useless, Pogba being shit, Zlatan being past it, Martial being over-rated etc.
Is reality finally starting to sink in for our Scouse friends?
You will be visiting the Bluemoon and RAWK meltdown pages at 6 o'clock with a smug smile on your face, just hold on to that thought.Shaking with nerves here. Please score early!No excuses today, our form is good, team is good and we're at home. They have a few key injuries and not playing so well. We have to win and win well.Just saw following statistic: Liverpool is the strongest PL-team if you only look at the matches between the top 6 clubs? Not bad. Let's end this.I'm rocking like Pep post-Everton! Too much adrenaline. I'm massively jacked. It's the one lads. Liverpool at Old Trafford! We MUST win.I don't think I can remember a game where you lot were so confidant of a good result.
It's a nice "tingly" feeling though, being the favourites and the team with the momentum - even if we are still playing catch-up. Not like that awful doom, gloom, and despondency feeling of the last few seasons.If we keep a clean sheet, i think we will win this, because i can't see that Liverpool defense containing us for 90 mins.
Fingers crossed that Jones/Rojo keeps up their good partnershipKlavan and some Arnold guy in defense, without Coutinho, this is easy for Utd. Comfortable 2-0 I reckon.Come on lads lets fecking do thisI have an absolutely horrendous feeling about this. I've never seen such unbridled optimism on the Caf and the fall if they manage to turn us over here will be horrific.
In other news, my mate wanted to put 50 quid on Lukaku and Ibra as first goalscorers this morning and I talked him out of it. So obviously that's going to happen at least!- Status
