Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

[big gaz]

5 first team injuries is incredibly good luck for them,a draw would do but i think it's going to be very difficult

Stop the pass out wide to Salaha and tackle like the devil wants to rip you a new one. Then when the chance comes score, unlike Jesus and Sterling last week. ( that pissed me of more than Eddies howler).

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

--------------Ederson
------Walker--Stones--Angelino
Cancelo--Fern--Foden--KDB--Mendy
------------Bernardo
-------------Jesus

I like this mate. A lot.

I also agree that Sergio and Sterling should not necessarily be shoe-ins for this game.

Jesus is the best pressing striker in Europe.

I'd perhaps put Walker higher up than Cancelo, as Joao has better technique when it comes to the three playing out?

Walker can keep Robertson pinned deeper because he has superior pace to Cancelo.

As it is, Pep being Pep, Gundo will play defensive midfield, Fern will play at the back with Stones and there will be no 3-5-2.

Yep that was very annoying by raz and gabby,that's why i always say in a game of few chances i want them to fall to sergio and no-one else

Sergio and raz are our best goal scorers,madness to leave them out when we might only get one or 2 chances,i'm sure both can press extra hard for one game

 

[Barcon]

3-1 to the good guys.

Fern is out best defensive midfielder too, but Pep knows where the team will be better served.

Jesus has to start. We had 28 attempts on Saturday and had two goals to show for it.

Just don't think it is mutually exclusive for that to mean Sergio and Sterling must start.

Van Dijk wants to play up against Sergio.

We need to drag him out of his spaces.

Well lets hope he starts Kaz. People moan about the defence, but I believe we need to take all the chances we get. ( that's without crosses to Edin )

And we need to score,gabby creates space etc etc,his head is not always on scoring,it would be a stupid risk to take to leave out our scorers

I’m not having a pop at him & Nobody can disagree he slows the game down. He’s a good player in the right game & formation. Liverpool is not his game in my opinion. If we are 3 up with 25 mins to go, 100% to control it. To start against a team who are going to fly out of the traps, not for me. I would rather see foden instead of gundy 90% of the time who also deserves the blue shirt.

That Pep bloke has nothing on you. It’s been the case as far as I can remember that certain “fans” always need a player to moan at, I find it a bit strange

 

[BringBackSwales]

Thankfully with Hendo getting a couple of goals recently Klopp will not be benching him for this one..

Bad news, I read that Henderson is an injury doubt

All the high crossing is doing my head in,low and fast and we score,the dippers would love us to send crosses in to dicks head,i think we should try and play through teams,they can stand back or take us down,I'm nervous pep will over think this and mess it up,we need to play our normal game with a few tweaks

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Considering what a top quality side we are our record at that shit hole is disgracefull, we are so overdue a win, hope its this sun when its prob our least expected chance of it happening

Liverpool at home...Sergio every day of the week. Liverpool away...Gabby. Sergio hasn't scored a single goal at Anfield.

Not that I agree with the original statement but, just because we happen to be the highest scorers in the league doesn't mean we're clinical enough and that'll have to improve - 26 Shots for a return of 2 goals in our last match, that simply isn't going to cut it against Liverpool.

There hasn't been a game this season where we've been extremely clinical, but, It can be argued that we haven't needed to be on the whole considering the amount of chances we create over the 90 minutes.

We won't be afforded such luxuries against Liverpool and will need to be clinical, not that it should be a problem with our front line mind you.

Watford!! 8-0

 

[mosssideblue]

Watford!! 8-0

Should have been a bakers dozen :)

Jamie Carragher: "I don’t think City understand what Europe means. You’ll see they [fans] still prefer to win the league than the Champions League. When you see what happened at Liverpool, it’s obvious the European cup is more important."

Haha you wanted the title you fucking liar

I'm giving the sky build up on sunday and the hush for their fucking ditty a miss,it means more though obvs

Just sunday? I'm giving a miss.all week!!

So? every season is different,we face different players,him and raz our scorers,in what universe do you leave them out lol,every hoodoo gets broken eventually,they would be cheering the roof off to see our team sheet with no sergio and raz on it

 

[Fordyboy46]

Anybody know any scousers who think that Mane doesn't dive?. Are they all in denial, the silly ****s .

I love Sergio but I’d start Jesus in this one. Just me...

should add, wouldn’t be upset one bit if Sergio is in.
