Liverpool fans all make same point after Jurgen Klopp's team news vs Chelsea

Liverpool fans have been reacting to Jurgen Klopp’s team selection for today’s clash against Chelsea.

The Reds take on the Blues at Stamford Bridge in their first Premier League away trip of the season.

Klopp has named a surprise line-up for the visit to Stamford Bridge, with both Joe Gomez and Joel Matip missing out.

In comes Fabinho at centre-back, with Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and Naby Keita named in midfield.

New signing Thiago Alcantara has been named on the bench, and could make his debut for the Reds against Chelsea.

After seeing team news, Liverpool fans took to social media to express their thoughts and emotions on the line-up selected by Klopp.

Here is a selection of what they had to say.

Watch LFC: “Think we should invest in a CB, lads. Kabak would be cool, anyway up the Reds three points inbound.”

P: “Omg Lovren come back immediately.”

Tobi: “Not a single CB on the bench.”

Luke FC: “This is exactly why we need another CB.”

Lauren: “Just massively win.”

Waseem7: “Thiago is 100% making an appearance.”

George: “Great line up. Come on boys.”

Dan Godwyn: “Massive test of the defence today then especially with Fab in the back 4. He's done a decent job in the past but far from ideal. Could be a difficult day with the pace of Chelsea’s attack.”
