These Liverpool fans are torn as Minamino returns but defence concerns | OneFootball

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has announced his Reds XI for the Premier League fixture with Brighton and Hove Albion this lunchtime with several storylines to delve into.

Sadio Mane has dropped to the bench, first and foremost, with him being rested after looking tired in the Champions League against Atalanta.

In attack, then, Taki Minamino comes into the side to join Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah in an offensive looking side.

James Milner and Gini Wijnaldum are in midfield, with Jordan Henderson fit enough to make the subs’ bench after returning to training in the week.

Nat Phillips comes into defence alongside Fabinho in the middle, with Neco Williams and Andy Robertson the two full-backs whilst it’s Alisson in goal.

Let’s look at the reaction from Reds fans on social media, then, as they digest the news that Minamino is back in the side but also the fact that the defence is perhaps weaker than many would like ahead of this one:
