Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

[Father Paul]

Laporte!!!

Not sure Rodri is back in full training and Ederson does have an injury although it may not be too serious.
I think we can still get at least a draw if we concentrate and defend well. A lot of stats are against us but
maybe its time for Liverpool to lose a game at home us to win at Klanfield and Kun to score a goal there.
I am going for 2-2.

Rodders has NOT been training with the lads barr a stretch,eric is out till jan at least but i think you know that..

Were we at full strength and not missing Laporte, Sane (4 goals in 4 games against this rabble), Silva, Rodri, and now possibly Ederson, I might be inclined to agree with you. However, if we go into battle with Gundogan, Mahrez, Otamendi and Bravo as our bannermen, then we'll get swamped, simple as that

As I said, we will not go into battle negatively, fortunately our negativity exists on the keyboard, and tbh in a lot of the seats

I'm still Uber confident we are going to beat them without our strongest team.

Giddypool are hitting the wank wall already singing they've won the league.

16 v 11 and we will still screw them.

Agree.

Think that will be the score with one of theirs being a penalty.

Wtf is wrong with you people? There was a load more optimism and positivity amongst City fans when we were fucking shite than there is now. Dicks

I don't think it's being a mardarse or negative to think we will get beat. It is taking the emotion out of the occasion and looking at the game logically.

Our record at Anfield is abysmal. It is more than a bogy ground it is a bloody graveyard. We are missing three key players and it could be four. Our remaining star players are underperforming, especially Bernardo and Kev. As a result it is a struggle to beat average teams at the moment never mind Liverpool. Something just isn't right. It is probably a combination of the injuries, mental fatigue after two intense seasons and the loss of Kompany, which has hit is harder than I imagined. He was a leader, a confident calming presence even if he wasn't playing.

To get a result on Sunday everyone has to be up for the fight, mentally and physically. Our key men on the field need to play the way we know they can, 9/10 performances, not 6/10. I just fear the game has come at the worst possible time for us but I will be delighted if the team prove me wrong.
