Cardiff (h) pre-match thread

[Saddleworth2]

Think we need to start with our most robust guys. So :
Eddie, Walker, Vinnie, Otta and Zinch
Bernardo, Fern, Gundo and Delph
with Raz and Jesus .

Gundo? Robust? First time I have seen those two words linked.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Kun out for this one

Shit. We will miss him at wemberley.

 

[richards30]

Shit. We will miss him at wemberley.

Will probably be on the bench on Saturday

 

[Saddleworth2]

So much anxiety after what happened at Anfield, can't wait to get this game done and reclaim the top spot.

Don’t be anxious. No need. We will take them apart comfortably. Let the contrast between how Liverpool are winning their games and how we are controlling ours give you confidence. Enjoy the ride, we may never see it again.

 

[goatersnipple]

Pep would have picked Gabriel for Cardiff and if Serge is not fit for Saturday another chance for Jesus to shine.

Or play sane up top

Not great news, but if only we had a goal scoring replacement to call on... As mentioned on another thread, it is coming down to what dries up first, our goals or Liverpool's luck.

Would take a 1-0 against cardiff right now, with no injuries. Don't trust Warnock one bit, he's certianly one of the 'if you can't beat them, kick them' crowd. But I can also see our team reacting to this challenge, get one early doors and maybe we can get a few more.

Certainly don't expect an entertaining game, Warnock will set them up to defend and win free kicks to get out. Can see Mendy being called on to stretch them, otherwide plenty of players comfortable with controlling the ball in tight spaces and looking for the runner. Possibly Mahrez as that runner, but that would be cruel on Sterling or Bernardo.

Thinking about this game earlier and how there will be changes, as i understand this i don't think we could really afford to make too many. I'm really nervous about this one, probably as nervous as i've been for a long long time

Also surprised Warnock has got away with just a telling off from the FA, smacks of well you make a really good point but just shush it.

 

[Marvin]

I don't think Aguero will have started this game anyway, but he would have been on the bench.

I am hoping KDB will get another 75 mins under is belt. He's close to his best. I hope we don't overplay Bernardo. He's at a great level at the moment but we need to be at our peak for games ahead as well as now so a few changes please Pep.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Let’s not make to many changes Cardiff are not going to just roll over for us. I’d start virtually the same team that played on Saturday with maybe 3 changes or so if Aguero is out.
