Liverpool (A) - Sun 1st Dec, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[DMA's]

Hope it’s a midfield 3 of nunes Gundo Bernardo with savinho foden out wide haaland through middle. Walker diss akanji ake as back 4

 

[Chak19]

Insanity if relying on his fitness.

He just cannot stay fit.

Yes and to a lesser extent Ake, and with Dias having his own injury issues now we need one maybe two CB's.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

First poor game and he gets dropped, and is this really the game to give Ortega his first start ? hope it's not a case of throwing him to the wolves.

It’s not his first start

 

[M23 Citizen]

One of Walker or Gvardiol starts. Who did we want?
Both are wank at the moment.

Gvardiol was very good up until the point Aké went off on Tuesday. After that the whole defence went to pot.

No complaints about Ortega. I am not going to sit here and say we definitely can't win, but regardless of the result this is certainly going to be a tough game. There will be a lot of saves to be made. I have no issues with Pep picking the guy who is more likely to produce a heroic 10-save performance and get us a result.

Whats going on with KDB?, on the bench AGAIN today surely we need him in matches like today's.

To be fair his mistake for the 3rd on Tuesday will have pissed Pep off in a big way, if you come out like that you have to get their, that said there are plenty of others who could be fairly dropped.

Thank you doctor .

Don’t need to be a doctor, just look at his injuries and missed games

And not just today

Maybe but, it's a 90+ mins game and he was terrible against Spurs as well (not on his own)
