Liverpool (A) - Sun 8th Feb, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I've not seen an update on Doku, has there been one?

Just came here to ask the same, haven't seen a Doku update.

For Liverpool, a solid defense with Khusanov's speed, Dias and Guehi's character, and the freedom for O'Reilly and Nunes to provide crosses and attacking threat.

Nico Gonzalez and Rodri in midfield, and an attacking trio of Cherki, Semenyo, and either Marmoush or Haaland.

It's a very balanced starting eleven, considering current form and availability.

....................Donnarumma....................

.......Khusanov......Dias..........Guehi......

Nunes.........Nico G.....Rodri......O'Reilly

............. Cherki.................Semenyo......

...............Marmoush or Haaland...........

If we can keep that team on the park for the majority of the remaining league fixtures I truly believe we can still win the title.

Of course a win this weekend will enhance my optimism even further.

 

[Danny Tiatto]

Anyone know who the guy asking the question about Peps comments on conflicts is? Heard him for the past few months now in press conferences and every question he asks is either critical or heavily loaded, he's absolutely desperate to get something from Pep so he can go all in on him.

Piers Morgan?

 

[bg1968]

Two words.

Craig Pawson:(

Bugger

 

[Welsh]

Great to see Dias back but not sure I'd partner Dias and Guehi for the first time at Anfield, especially as the CBs have been pretty exposed this season. We might also need Khusanov's recovery pace.

 

[ancoats]

I think the gloves will be off for this because neither is really in the title race with nothing to lose
Pep can use this as our big away game mentally, he keeps saying we need to win silverware and the Champions league

its the most hated ground for City to visit. They don't like us and have got away with some really bad shit towards our players coaches and fans coaches, plus the Merseyside police are a joke and blind

 

[Gray]

Merseyside police are a joke and blind

They certainly aren’t funny in any shape or form and have less vision than Blind Pugh.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

I’m expecting a loss, would be happy with a point …. a win for all the regular Blues who go year after year would feel like a Cup Final victory in itself.

What a way to show the media scum we are not finished just yet

 

[super_city_si]

Think we'll get a draw. A lot depends on the second half. Cant see us winning. We have an incredibly shit record there.

I think Pep plays Dias and Guehi which terrifies me as a high line against Ekitike. We'll be better organized and with the ball though but I'd still prefer Khusanovs raw pace as a failsafe.

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Watch salah who has been shi# all season turn into prime Pele, always scores against us, every season you could put your house on him scoring against us and Son for the spuds, luckily Son is no more

 

[Goater101]

Yet Rodri won 16 duels at Spurs, which was far more than any other player in the PL last week.

Rodri won about as many duels as the other City midfielders (O'Reilly, Bernie, Cherki) combined.

The fact that he had to win that many duels is more a statement about our set up and performance rather than Rodri

 

[kippaxchris]

I'm shocked that 116 people think we will win this match!

 

[heslops barnet]

Not a fukin chance we get 3 points, we seem to shit ourselves on every visit……..

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I'm shocked that 116 people think we will win this match!

Its more than 115

 

[Ethan23]

This season has zero logic.

Therefore I think we'll be closer to Arsenal after this weekends round of fixtures.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This season has zero logic.

Therefore I think we'll be closer to Arsenal after this weekends round of fixtures.

Now that is illogical.

 

[NordStrike]

Players from this team who have a winning record against Liverpool – minimum 3 games played

Donnaruma 2-0-1
Rodri 5-5-3

Thats it. The list

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Not a fukin chance we get 3 points, we seem to shit ourselves on every visit……..

If we play with the mentality and attitude like we did at OT they we will get absolutely fkn mullered. It’s just one of those grounds unfortunately.
