Liverpool (A) - Sun 16th Oct, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

My worry is Pep will look at the possession and pass accuracy and play Grealish and Mahres who rarely gives it away but bring slow easy to defend football foden and Kdb lose possession more than most but they bring a lot more to the team..

I’d take a 2-0 win with 85% possession.

This is the problem. The more we have possession the more we press higher and higher up and then when we lose the ball they break on us with our defense out of position. We see that time and time again against lesser opposition and we usually get away with it - notwithstanding leaking goals sometimes.

We won't get away with it against those tossers. Everyone has to be 100% on their game and no stupid giving the ball away (and yes KDB, that includes you!)

To me we play to the level of the opposition, the better they are, the better we play.

The first half of the rag game this season we dominated and played at a different level to them. We were the better team in both league games against the dippers last season too and if we play to that level, i can't see them getting anywhere near us.

Are they going to smash our coach on Sunday again?

Merseyside Police have given assurances that nothing untoward will happen

Edit:
Leeds 1 - 0 Arsenal & Liverpool 3 - 3 City. This i my prediction for the key games this weekend.

There weakness is there back line and midfield let them get in our final third with space they will hurt us!

Going for a 2-3

They pull it back to 2-2 in the 90th minute and Oslo explodes with joy, then Mahrez bags a pen on 93 to win it for us

Saints 1 - 0 Arsenal & Liverpool 3 - 3 City. This i my prediction for the key games this weekend.

Fairly unlikely- as Arsenal are away at Leeds.

It's a paradox isn't it. Sometimes when we don't have the "A" team playing, we pass it around aimlessly and couldn't score in a brothel. We get more and more impatient and then get stung with a counter-attack. We just need to be efficient at the weekend and take our chances. Which of course is a lot easier with Thor on the pitch.

So would everyone be a miracle if it ends up 0-2 more like a high scoring win for us!

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

0-1 and 3 points will do
