At least Oliver won't be intimidated by the crowd unlike most referees

We play with a very high line and the Dippers play big boot/long ball football , that is my only concern ,we got done last season with a 70 yard punt from Allison and Cancelo fell on his backside to let Salad have a one on one. Not sure if Pep will drop our back four 10-15 metres and pay them respect or we play our normal game and go for the juglular at let them worry about us.
The Dippers play high press every week and it works against lesser team who cannot play out from the back , but we are the best in the world at possession football so i expect us to handle Klippety's in your face style of football , usually have some trepidation about a trip to these feral twats nothing to do with their crowd or their team/manager but because we always get shit decisions from the officials.
The referee always has a massive influence at Klanfield if the ref is strong we have every chance of three points and sending Klippety back to Gemany with just the ONE league title in TEN years.

I'll predict the score as 2-2

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Putting the 3 points aside, I don't think the effect of a win can be emphasised enough in the event of us winning. It would be such a huge physiological boost for the team at this stage of the season.

This all day , quite a few of our posters fearing the worst and a lot of pundits favouring the Dippers on Sunday so if we do got to Klanfield and get three points it will shock many on here and hit the Dippers really hard, their percieved invinciabality at Klanfield will be smashed to pieces.
If we lose it will be considered just another defeat one of many over the last 50 years at Klanfield , if we beat them Sunday it will reverberate all around football.

'Have you ever won the treble, have you fuck'

Let's get stuck into this bunch of mard arses. Jealous of our recent success to the point that they're crying over it every week.

Anyway, tough game of course, not won there with a crowd for a long time, we should have but for a missed penalty. A win keeps it in our hands. A draw isn't the end of the world, probably can't be losing though, 2 games back might be too much.

They've got injuries. Alisson and Jota are out. I think Alexander-Arnold is out. Salah only just back in training. Nunez probably back.
They play in Prague tomorrow, be a shame if it's a cold, physical game.

We'll be without Grealish.

---------------Ederson
Walker--Stones--Dias--Ake
------------Rodri--Kovacic
Bernardo--De Bruyne--Foden
---------------Haaland

This would be my team

if the team can go there with some kind of belief , we should win quite comfortably

the last few times we have been very cagey and it’s not really worked for us

the best we‘ve Played was the first half of the 2-2 , we should haven at least 2-0 up but we missed numerous chances and didnt get anything from the ref

but that was liverpools peak Klopp team, this one isn’t anywhere near that

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

If that were to happen the team bus should turn round and come back, which they would have every right to do so.
Would be interesting to see if they would be punished in any way.
But we know they're more likely to just give them the three points and give
us a fine.

And we’d probably issue a joint apology!

 

[TonyM]

If we can't beat them then there's no point in the illusion of us beating Real in the CL final or Liverpool again in the Cup.

If we want to win the treble then we have to beat them all. Otherwise its been grand season if not the best.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I'm not even gonna watch it, I'll listen to it on the wireless doing some jobs I've put off.

Yep, I dont think God wills it at anfield.
Unfortunately I've go to go or I'd be catching up on jobs too.

More worried about the officials than the dippers for this one.

We were by far the better team in the match at our place, robbed of a goal to spare their keeper for some shit weak goalkeeping. Officiating will only be worse at their shithole.

Let's take our chances in front of goal and take it out of the officials hands as much as possible. They're a good side but been having favourable fixtures too, they didn't look half as clever up against arsenal a few weeks ago. Play near our best and we'll do them
