Liverpool (A) - Sun 1st Dec, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Sky Blue]

When we won there in 2003 it was totally unexpected, I wouldn't be that surprised if we got a point today. We have got a few decent players...

Nah, we haven't. We are going there with a resurrected Alan Ball as manager and Gerry Creaney up front with Nigel Clough in midfield.

Was in the Liverpool end for that game. In the Main Stand at the Kop end about level with the penalty spot, so perfectly placed for both our goals. Don’t know how I managed to keep a lid on it when Anelka got the winner at the end!

Feeling chipper for this. Just dropped the stepdaughter at work and did a detour to go past our stadium.

Come on City. 3-2.

I really think we will be okay tomorrow. We have the best manager we could ever ask for and in Pep we trust to sort it out.

We've had Pep for the last 6 games and against lesser opposition than the dippers, it's been anything but okay.

Pep isn't missing the chances.

My reply was to the specific claim that PEP will sort it out!
Your saying Pep can't sort it out? Guess we're fuked then.

Eike Immel in goal. How can we not win?

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

As we’re not playing to our normal standards, I see this game as a free hit. Anything resembling progress in our performance will give me confidence going forward.

 

[Claytop]

As usual against these vermin, we need to try and keep them out for the first 20 mins, they will come at us like a fucking whirlwind.

I know that’s how they played under Klopp, does Slot still have then doing the same thing?

 

[homerdog]

If we can cut out the defensive fuck ups and hit the bloody target, then I predict an easy win!

No.
I trust Peps' judgement.
However, he has set a team up that he thinks is good enough to win, but the players have been missing the chances presented to them.

So your argument is with the person that made the claim I responded to, not me. Although when you get beat 4-0 and draw 3-3 I'm not sure scoring goals is the issue?

 

[DMA's]

Don’t know about anyone else but I actually feel closer to the club now we are going through a bad spell than I did previously when we seemingly won every week!

Really looking forward to this game. Not expecting anything just want to see a reaction and some good performances.

 

[Dawsenna]

Don’t know why and if I’m deluding myself but I’ve woke up with a sense of excitement I think we can win come on blues

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ortega should start or come on for the inevitable Salah penalty.

 

[ESP Blue]

Watched the u18s, can we shoot for goal from the ko. That'll surprise em.
Who would you trust to take the kick ?

Ederson :-)

Eddie.

 

[bluealf]

My (potentially mad) prediction for tomorrow and the rest of the season is that Pep plays park the bus, shit on a stick football that gets us a horrible 0-0, the world calls us a hypocrite, and we use a similar set-up for all big games for the rest of the season while we bed in a younger centre-mid in home and easier "games". It doesn't win us the league, but does secure us top four and a good CL run.

Akanji, Ake, Dias, Gvardiol at the back. Gundo, Nunes, Kev in midfield. Grealish, Bernie and Haaland up top. Fight and scrap for every ball, break with pace when we can do.

No place for Foden?

 

[RobinHood]

Over-confidence can bite you on the arse (them, not us).

 

[ESP Blue]

Ederson :-)

Agree Eddie would be the best but that kinda gives the game away. Perhaps Josko ?

 

[bluealf]

The attack out coach, then attack our other coach throwing coins at Pep, they throw weighted cups at our fans, they hack our scouting system and they always get away with it.
Press never pick up the stories or twist it like in this scenario. The city hierarchy never make a big song and dance about it either.

Theyre scum, as a kid i used to wonder why the rags hated them so much.

As for the MEN its a joke with no readers.
I’d respect the club a lot more if they started booting the hostile media out of press conferences. Starting with the failed journalists from the MEN.

I wish I knew why the dippers are a protected species.

Hillsborough changed everything
