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

[SWPISHOME]

Feels like we are letting Liverpool off the hook with our wide men being on the bench, Robertson has been bobbins all season.

Looks like we will be trying to play through the middle of them, Unless Pep has an idea of keeping it tight up until a certain stage of the game and then introducing the big guns.

Just had a nosey on lpool forums. Alot are rooting for a draw. A few of them not so confident on hammering us

The league is 100% gone but top 4 is a serious doubt for me and that would be a disaster.

At this very moment, we are in fifth. Just 4 points ahead of the rags... Four. That is close to disaster in my book.

I can't see that changing today. A terrible season on the cards.

I'd like to see Haaland leave one on Tront and get away with it!!

The whole team needs to turn up

Lewis, Gundo have been absolutely shocking in recent weeks and if it wasnt for injuries shouldnt be anywhere near that pitch - walker as well

How is it Foden that needs to turn up?

None of them have turned up for weeks

We have been a total shit show from the manager all the way down to the players from the first loss against spurs in the cup.

We aren't creating enough real big chances and when we do we find the keeper with ease or give him a back pass virtually.

And our Kamikaze defending is something you see on a park pitch every weekend.

We used to be able to carry the odd couple of underperforming players through games, But when 6 or 7 are off it every week we it's impossible.

The drop off in quality this season is off the scale.

You can point to age in some players but Foden won the player of the year last season and now looks like a bottom 6 team player. And he's got age on his side.

Not singling out Phil, but the whole squad needs a big kick up the arse!!

Because we’ve got a team of players who aren’t exactly known for their creative/goalscoring prowess. Foden the best player in the league last season has to better and we need his attacking contribution for us to win the game. He is vital

Gundo made his career at city by ghosting into the box and scoring......

Foden aint playing well but he aint the issue....Gundo and Lewis as a pair are a huge problem...

You cant just look at foden and say he needs to turn up...

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He wanted to leave last summer and he is sulking for me, more to the Saudi move than he was making out.

Pure conjecture

 

[Keeper!]

The table doesn’t look good at the minute.
Forest is a must win regardless of today’s result.

Any win is a must, this run has to stop, today would be a huge 3 points, in fact it would be like a 6 pointer.

I’d have concerns with any team featuring Walker at the moment. Any time he plays it feels that we’re giving the opposition a goal start. He was never a smart footballer- his positional sense and anticipation were never top class however he had incredible pace to dig himself out of any hole. He no longer has that pace his flaws are glaring.

Not exactly excited by out midfield, will depend on how we set up but Gundogan, Lewis, Nunes and Bernardo offer very little goal threat or creativity. Huge pressure on Haaland to take any chances that come his way. We really need to see some of Foden’s best form today. Hopefully playing Liverpool brings the best out of Bernardo and Foden.

 

[Keeper!]

Think Pep wants to stick with Gundogan and Lewis until we win a game.
Then he's proved his point

If that's the cast we will be making history again, but not for good reasons!
