Liverpool (a) Pre-Match Thread

[super_city_si]

I expect he's picked those full backs because they are the best ball players and will have most success at playing through Liverpools press

 

[kaz7]

Bench isn't great

 

[deano ou812]

What a shame sane is injured would have loved to have seen him run at Liverpool's backline,hopefully sterling will do it instead,notice no nolito either injured as well?

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Hoping for the best but Zab and Kolarov starting at FB against a Liverpool team that has alot of movement and very quick upfront? OOOOuuchhh!

 

[OB1]

Our two slowest full backs against Mane. Oh boy.

Full backs do look a risky selection.

Lack of pace throughout the side is a concern; let's hope they play keep ball really well.

 

[citytill1die84]

Decent line up that.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

If we can't put this Jinx to bed tonight, looking at their line up.....

 

[daflanger]

Our Attack on paper is stronger but our Defence..... Please let it be a great start to the New Year!!! Chelsea look to be on the way to securing another 3 points! So that's 10 points difference now. We need those 3 points... come on you Blues!!!

 

[BlueS]

like the team, feeling it.

 

[aguero93:20]

Baldy out.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Defensively, yes, at full back he is that much worse.

If he plays it has to be as a CB for me.

Clichy got retired by Patrick Roberts. He's absolute mince this season.

I don't fancy either, however, on this season alone, it has to be Kolarov.

 

[FJRMCFC]

For the life of me I can't understand what Zabaleta is doing in that team over Sagna.

 

[deano ou812]

What's their line up ..

 

[Dax777]

Nolito and Sane?

 

[RandomJ]

He's obviously gone for our best possession holders and wants us to pass our way around Liverpools press. Up to the players to not fuck about with the ball now.

 

[fatbloke]

Zabaleta, Kolarov and Yaya against the pace of them twats, shit the bed.

 

[bluetev]

Our two slowest full backs against Mane. Oh boy.

We will have faster full backs next year.
This is what we have now, and I am sure the plan is to avoid 1 v 1 s against our defense to begin with.

 

[welsh_andy]

if our backs do their job(i pray) then we can do this, my last trip to the shit hole didnt go to well last season, this time have faith in pep, as long as they play they way pep is expecting, god help us if they change format.haha.
confident we take all 3, but nervous at same time strangely

 

[Chi-town blues]

Silva on wings is worrisome.

 

[sir baconface]

NY Eve is usually shit. A defeat would make it really really shit

Hope you're not on duty next time I ring the Samaritans, chadd ;)

 

[kaz7]

Silva on wings is worrisome.

Rarely is what the line up graphic says
