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

[Gray]

During this run, of dire results and loss of form, the club keep sticking up a player as spokesman for the team.

They all come up with the same crap about unity and belief, then next game they balls it up again.

I thought we needed 3 players in January, but now I think we want 6 or 7.

Think back to that Real Madrid game and look at us now, now that is a drop off.
Pep’s the best there is if he can’t sort this shit out nobody can.
Let’s rip the form book up and go beat the virmin.

Whilst he is undoubtedly the greatest strategist, tactician and coach ever in World football - especially if he has the players. Management is also needed now. Is he as good a "manager"?

First time we get a goalkick - if we're lucky enough to win one, take 5 red cards for time wasting - game abandoned and awarded to the opposition - but no more injuries (just 1 match bans) and no rugby score against us.

Brilliant )

Ederson

Walker (or preferably Stones if fit)
Akanji
Dias
Ake

Nunes
Bernardo
Foden

Savinho
Haaland
Grealish

Tell the full backs not to cross the half way line. Tell Nunes and Bernardo to sit in front of the defence. Tell Foden, Savinho and Grealish that they need to work their bollocks off and mainly defend all game.

Need to be pragmatic. Play on the counter. And if we do, we need ‘proper’ defenders in there. Treble season style.

First port of call needs to be not to concede then build from there. Not to attack.

 

[Gray]

Surely this is the game that the loss vote wins, even our happy clappers must see that we are utterly shite currently.

We will play exactly as we always do, get absolutely overrun in the first 15 mins like we always do there.

Unless Pep changes the strategy then nothing is going to change.

Can only see a loss based on what I have witnessed this last week.

Fuck knows what team he will play. His head must be cabbaged even thinking about it.

What's so frustrating is that we'll hear the same talk about buying ANOTHER midfielder?

If we crack under pressure 3-0 up at home to Feyenoord then we’ve got no chance at Anfield. Their atmosphere is a myth but one bit of crowd noise against us and we’ll crumble, regardless of the stadium.

Dreading it. Need leaders and characters on Sunday. No passengers.

He won’t change his tactics he’s a stubborn fucker, thus us his Achilles heal, look at the first season he implemented a style without the players, didn’t do so well, once he brought the right players in the rest is history, however I’d say we are back to that first season again, he just won’t change, we will get in players next season (can’t see us getting anyone in January) then go again next season. Qualify for CL and maybe Fa Cup is the best we can hold for.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Luckily for us they have Madrid tonight, we played last night and have that extra day to rest and prepare.

I’d take a draw right now, but I’m going for a 3-2 City win.
