Liverpool (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[SWP's back]

not much on the bench for us.

Most teams would kill for Silva and Foden in a starting 11, nevermind a bench.

They are trying to completely bypass the middle of the park.. Eddy should be looking to hit that left hand Chanel for us where Trent Arnold will undoubtedly be up the field joining in with their 4 strikers.. could use their own plan against them.

Liverpool playing all four of their main attackers. Surely more room in midfield then?

Yep but as we have zero pace There it won’t be noticed. They will just use the press to pick up a few of the sloppy sideways passes we will do and break at will

 

[Barcon]

"if I was a dippers fan I would looking at that line up and scratching my head wondering why we were going to the Etihad without a midfield".

Fabinho out Jota in is quite a difference mate. Fabinho, Henderson and Wjin(how ever you spell his name) is a midfield.. add in Kieta etc.

Make your mind up mate.

We wont win with that team,but maybe when he decides to change it in the 70th minute,and introduce the two players who spring us into life,things might change.

What’s the crack with klopp standing watching us warm up ?

He's just a fucking weirdo?

 

[SWP's back]

Does Pep honestly think the Gundogan Rodri combo makes us better defensively?. Because it certainly doesn't, infact you could argue it always seems to make us worse, not happy with this again but time will tell I guess. Come on City.

Beat them 4-0 with that midfield 3 three months ago.

Always does that

always does that doesn't he? it's his hard man look to intimidate our gullible young lads

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

am i the only one who is completely fed up with watching games on TV. Its just not the same for me. no where near the pre match build up or excitement.
:-(

 

[super_city_si]

We’re going to have to be on our toes defensively. Their movement In and around the area will need ultra focus to keep them out.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

He literally played the last match

It is a bit weird though when he had Robertson's pants down all game last time.

Can't complain though considering Ferran's form.

Firmino is hardly a traditional striker. I expect him to tuck in deeper to be a CM as he has good physicality, which the dippers have been raving about.

Does it all the time. He also watched the opposition doing their warm ups. There's a video online of him watching us doing the warm up for a good 2-3 minutes when we beat then in the 2-1 in January last year

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I got a bad feeling about this

 

[heslops barnet]

Interesting using Torres rather than Foden. I suggest Pep is trying to surprise Klopp with his tactics, let’s see.

pep outthinking himself?

 

[plongo]

What’s the crack with klopp standing watching us warm up ?

His version of mind games does it all the time. Must be terrifying our lads!!

 

[TheThirdDeano]

What’s the crack with klopp standing watching us warm up ?

Is he still doing that?
What a fucking freak that guy is

 

[Beanhead]

Make your mind up mate.

I did.. they have only got 2 of the three and ironically it’s the one that protects the back 4 and is most influential to their improvement over the past 18 months that is missing. You would have thought they may have at least tried to cover his absence (Fabinho). Given there is no VVD.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Not gonna lie. I'm not even nervous about this. Definitely something wrong in my relation to football at present.
