Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

[SWP's back]

I’d take a 0-1 win now.

Ha. Made me smile.

 

[FlokeyTheRed]

With Laporte, David, Zin, Ederson and Rodri out there is no pressure on us now whatsoever.

Liverpool have to win. The pressure is all theirs

What Liverpool have to do is not lose which in worse case scenario is not detrimental considering the teams we've played to City's

 

[dublinblue12]

Pep rubbed his now when saying Ed is out, Ive heard that's a sign someone is lying so nothing to worry about

 

[SWP's back]

and one of the reasons VAR spent 5 minutes weighing it up was because the defenders were almost level and it was a marginal red card.

Sorry mate but they spent five minutes because there was barely no contact and the contact that there was, was manufactured.

Bravo doesn’t take him down and he’s got a goal scoring opportunity. That’s what the ref is for. Even with a defender on the line it’s a red (as it is when a defender takes out a striker who was going through 1 on 1 with the keeper). So defenders being level, and no keeper to beat, doesn’t come into it.

Im sure you are correct else you wouldn't have posted, but I must admit it doesn't sound right.

I have come to terms that we might lose a football match against a very good dipper side.the facts are we arnt shit we are decimated with injuries so if we do get beaten I hope bluemooners have the sense to realise this.if we are 9 points behind at crimbo then hopefully the luck starts shifting and we get some of the good luck and the dippers some of the bad stuff.i always said I don't expect us to win it every year as long as we give it a go and there are clear mitigating factors this year.but you never know the gap may be 3 points come Monday,heres hoping for an early dipper red card.

No way would they give a dipper a red card, VAR would overturn it and and give a City player a yellow and the scousers a free kick.

When the last defender takes out a striker running through on to a 1 on 1 with the keeper then it’s a red (outside the box) yeah?

 

[citymad]

I’d take a draw now and I think they would. If we manage to go there and win then I don’t think they’d recover

Wed be delighted to get a point but the dippers will be kicking themselves, there’s not a better time to play us. They will go all out to hammer us.

As I say, you are prob right but why does it matter what position is being played 1v1 against a keeper or defender is still a 1v1

 

[rnblade]

As much as I would love us to steal a win there with a flukey goal I can’t really see it happening due to the amount of injuries we have. The team looks like it met in the car park.
If the dippers do win, I doubt we will ever manage to claw it back. Yes we have a great squad, but it’s ravaged with injuries and indecision and poor game tactics at the moment. As long as we don’t get embarrassed by the vermin at Candlepool, we will just have to take it and move on.
There will be the usual dipper love in media wankfest prior to the game and if they win, it will be unbearable.

 

[citymad]

Surely they can’t go TWO seasons without any major injuries. Don’t forget we won last year with big players out for long periods. They will be the luckiest team in history if they do manage it.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

It is unbelievable how the don't get injuries like hamstrings etc etc. They either have the best physio team ever, or after klopp leaves a story will break about blood doping

good post and probably the way it will turn out. Still a long way to go even with 9 points.

Shame you are not our manager right now, at least game tactics wouldn't be poor.

 

[citymad]

I’d take a 0-1 win now.

be gutted if we don’t win by at least 3 goals.

Exactly. Both would be a red. Hence the defender nearly being level (with the keeper out of the picture) is immaterial.

It’s “denial of a goal scoring opportunity” that’s punished.

which game(s) specifically are you referring to regarding poor tactics. While were at it, can you elaborate on "Indecision"

 

[ancoats]

We undoubtedly have big match winners, to e to shine.

and i think that will be key. also we got to get KDB on the ball where he can hurt them or shoot and score with that magic in his feet

front half of the team does look good aguero, sterling, jesus, B.silva, KDB, Mahrez and liverpool will be daft to underestimate us and like i said if they want a war we can do that as well
