Some Liverpool fans are unhappy with the Reds’ starting lineup for tonight’s clash with Midtjylland, claiming the team is far stronger than expected.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have made the trip to Denmark for their Champions League Group D meeting, with qualification for the last-16 already in the bag.
Liverpool will also top their group regardless of the result, meaning there is actually nothing riding on the game this evening.
That being said, it is still a great opportunity to see youngsters and fringe players try and prove their worth, with Klopp making eight changes to the side that beat Wolves 4-0 on Sunday.
Caoimhin Kelleher continues in goal after some impressive form, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rhys Williams, Fabinho and Kostas Tsimikas in front of him in defence.
The midfield sees a debut handed to Leighton Clarkson, with Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino also starting.
In attack, there is an opportunity for Diogo Jota, Divock Origi and Mohamed Salah to shine.
These Liverpool fans have been providing their thoughts on the team on Twitter, with many not overly happy with how strong it is.

Rest Fabinho and why is Salah playing ? We have Fulham on the weekend

Absolute criminal for Klopp to complain about congestion etc. for him to field Fabinho, Salah and Jota in fact I’d go as far as saying the same for Kelleher as well even if Alisson is to be fit for the weekend

Why are any 1st team players playing, klopp has now lost the argument of too many games. This could have been a total youth team

Why are we playing such a strong team in a meaningless game risking more injuries for nothing
