Burnley game plan would obviously be for them to target Zinchenko and try get Barnes and Wood to pull off him

Surely thats illegal

Surely thats illegal

Nothing is illegal in Burnley mate, Anything goes!

Unfortunately I agree, He never had a good game at Anfield since he has joined us. He shows glimpses in games against them but that's about the height of it. It's hard to leave him out too because his movement off the ball is incredible and he can cause any team in Europe massive problems and with Liverpool not at full strength at the back you would like to think he would get a lot of joy.

I think if we can get to grips with salah and mane keeping them quiet, we'll piss it

I think your right, At Anfield we struggle with the press and especially the midfield allowing no space at all, With Henderson and Fabinho taken out of there they've lost that high intensity. It's them three cunts up top that's the problem though they can change a game at any time.

Half this thread is about the Liverpool game. Let's not take this one for granted. Burnley are not going to be pushovers and we need to be laser focused.

I may be mistaken, but I don’t believe that Kun has ever scored at Anfield. Please correct me if I am wrong. Apologies for being off-topic.

Exactly

Stays in Burnley

Big game to win to give ourselves some breathing space going into a tough run of games. Get through the next 6 games still on top and we’ll have a far easier run in that anybody else.

Agree, but given form of some of those teams it might be a tad easier. Here’s hoping.
Personally if win Burnley and don’t lose to dippers we’ll be very hard to stop

Do you not think part is due to the fans hostility. Hopefully no fans and Raz puts in a good performance

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

We need to win the game it's not a given

I think I was talking about the officiating line-up, mate :-)

Aguero never scored at Anfield but he has scored in every single home fixture against Liverpool on top of scoring goals constantly against the rags, Chelsea, Arsenal ect Aguero at Anfield is just one of those things..
Sterling has complete stinkers against Liverpool home and away.

 

[Easy]

Rest Foden for this one we have plenty of options up front.

I’d like to see a front 3 of Torres-Jesus-Sterling but Mahrez will probably start.

FFS!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Not at full strength at the back? I am sure I heard several times last night that they had signed 2 world class centre backs?

 

[waspish]

Feeling Dias be rested and it be stones and Laporte at the back with Cancelo and Mendy either side.

You don’t rest the kingpin, I don’t think pep would do that, could be wrong!

Hilarious

Yeah I wouldn’t rest Dias like I wouldn’t of rested stones, like I say just a feeling.
