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

[Wretched Vengeance]

Can we invade Anfield a couple of hours prior to kick-off and get the game called off.

Oh wait....

 

[Kemper Boyd]

I am fucking dreading this

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

We are going to get well beat arent we?

 

[Roachy]

WTF is going to happen here is anyone's guess. I discounted them in the summer but they've a great start. We really need to put them under pressure and stop this shambolic defending we've seen of late. Dent them and galvanised us is what's required.

 

[MCFC1993]

If everyone was fit (apart from Rodri) I would play:
----------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Gvardiol---Ake
-----------Stones---Akanji
---------------De Bruyne
Bernardo----Haaland-----Foden

Grealish has a shout too for his work ethic and control.

I genuinely think that's the back 6 to at least get to January with. Start taking pride in keeping the ball out of our net.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

looking forward to this game

dipper.

Some players need to be fecked off those who flirted with other clubs in the summer wouldn't get a game again same with those who don't want to play through the pain barrier.

Ortega

Akanji
Stones
Dias
Ake

Gundo
Nunes
Foden

Savio
Haaland
Doku

Hopefully they play for the shirt that's enough for me show some fight show some bottle couldn't care less about the result.

Thing is, Anfield away is rarely a ding-dong game is it.

Thinking about it with cold hard logic, my money would actually be on 0-0.

 

[Blue tiger]

As much as a win is desperately needed, at this point I'd happily take a decent performance. Better and more inform versions of City have gone there and not managed to win so hard to see this current out of form team being able to manage it. If the lads dig in an get a bit of pride back it would be a start.

I largely agree with this lineup but I would put Grealish in again, at least he can keep hold of the ball and get the odd snide free kick, even if he isn't really a goal threat.

We need to go into Sunday with a mindset of shithousing our way through the game and stinking the place out. It's not what I like to see but we need to get back to basics.

It's not a game for the luxury players like Doku, as much as when we're playing well I really love his energy and flair.
