The only good thing about Charlie being out is that we will at least all know whether Jay still has it or not, because unless he gets injured, he is going to loads of game time now.
Shown here using the team that played during that 2nd half, with the front players rotating - I reckon that's pretty good. (& fits in with some of the players on the bench too).
---------------Forster---------------
Martina---Fonte---Virgil---McQueen
----------Romeu---Clasie----------
JWP----------Boufal-------Redmond
-------------Rodriguez--------------
Yeah, he got injured in February. Striker options looking plentiful in the U23's.
Seager & Barnes now back to join Olomola who's done well by himself this season.
Also, Klopp is bemoaning his attacking bench options anyway, so he's not going to let anyone leave IMO.
Ings could have been an option if he was fit though as he would have been nowhere near the starting XI.
STOKE TEAM NEWS
Mark Hughes hopes to have the likes of Jonathan Walters and Ryan Shawcross back for Stoke's home meeting with Southampton.
He said: "We've got a few bumps from the weekend. Muniesa got a bang on his knee so we'll get that checked. Johnson's got a bit of a problem with his eye and other than that, we don't anticipate we'll lose any more players."
“Matt Targett has had surgery and will stay out for three or four months."
