Liverpool (H) - Sat 25th Nov, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Pretty much the only XI we could’ve picked with the players available. Very attacking, but few options off the bench though.

This is the match that Phillips arrives as an attacking force.

Is Grealish injured?

 

[pudge]

I mean it's pretty much a guarantee, just like Hwang at Wolves, that Szoboszlai is scoring today and you'll not hear the end of it...

 

[Claytop]

No Grealish, Nunes, Kovavic & obviously Kev is going to make the squad look light!

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

I don't think I've ever seen so many half and half scarf wankers as there are here today on the concourse

Just said the same.
Fucking arse holes

Doku exploiting the space Alexander-Arnold leaves when he steps in to midfield will be key.

A bit concerning that we have no game changers on the bench whereas Liverpool have Diaz and Gakpo but hopefully we're out of sight before they can make any changes.

 

[eastmanc]

Is Jack injured? Anyway come on you Dolly Blues.

Is Grealish injured?

Ill

 

[eastmanc]

That bench is bit lightweight in the forward department to say the least. But good to see Boulders back.

It is.

 

[Gray]

Ill

Hang over?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I imagine they’ll look to target Akanji with their press if he’s playing alongside Rodri.

You’d think there would be goals in this game for both sides. It might be another game similar to Chelsea.

 

[Gray]

Weak bench hope we don't get more injuries

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Why not pair Gvardiol with Dias?

He can comfortably do the marauding in midfield like Stones (unlike Akanji) and let Dias do the last ditch tackles and slides.

 

[Paul1970]

Worse case scenario. Is that this is far from a title decider but we are atm the weakest we have been against them with our bench .

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Very nervous now, don't like this team. Was praying Stones would be fit and Jack would start. Aké needs a massive performance as he's going to be really tested in this setup. Hopefully he will rise to it like he did last season.

Both had horror showings against Chelsea.

Wtf ?

 

[lancs blue]

Hope Ake is back to full fitness and has regained his speed; otherwise, this is going to be like playing at Wolves.

After Gvardiol's defending at Chelsea I see Ake as an upgrade at LB.

Its just as fucking insane to me as when he kept playing Kyle there last season. Akanji will never be able to do that job.
