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

[ChicagoBlue]

A good week this week and we will be ONLY 2 POINTS behind.

A bad one and it’ll be 14 points and we could be 8th, with Forest leapfrogging us on Weds!!!

——————————Ederson

Walker-Akanji-Simpson Pussey-Dias-Ake-Gvardiol
——————————Stones
——————-KDB——————Foden
——————————Haaland

Dunno, a bit light at the back

Drop KDB and put Lewis to sit alongside Walker at the back

The old 8-1-1 that most visiting teams played against us when we were good.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Biggest, tallest, fastest, hungriest team we can field!

They are faster, generally bigger & taller, and don’t let many in while scoring for fun!

VVD, Nunez, and Gakpo are all dangerous in the air.

But, as I’ve said, 95 minutes like the first 75 minutes against Feyenoord and we will have nothing to fear. On the pre-match warm-up, the coaches should point up into the stands and show the defence where Row Z is near the halfway line, so they have something to aim at when needed!

Got a feeling Savinho will score his 1st goal…just hope it’s a winner and not a consolation.

The closer we get to the game the more I am convinced we’re not going to get battered.

Things never work out the way you expect in football.

It’ll be the usual turgid draw it often is at murderfield.

So a midfield 3 of Rico, Bernie and Gundo it is then.

Not true. Plenty of times things work out the way fans expect. People expect City to win the title, and City win the title. Of course, there are surprises and shocks. But most of the time the favourites win.

We have been poor recently, but also unlucky, failing to score from many good chances. If we are a bit lucky at Anfield, we can win. Might appear as a shock result, but luck plays a significant role in football. Convert 2-3 half-chances and we are likely to get a result.

You just spent two paragraphs going in circles and basically agreeing with me mate ;)

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst for this. If they play like they did against Spurs then we will get battered. Heart is saying we will do a typical City and go there and win but head is saying we'll probably get beat.

Regardless of current form let's get behind the lads when they need it. Worst case we could end up battling the rags for 12th place this season!
