-----------Ederson
--Walker---Dias---Ake
Akanji-----Stones-----Gvardiol
-------Bernie---Gundo
--------Savinho
-------------Haaland

Pack the team with defenders. Back 6 without the ball. Haaland to tie up Van Dijk and Savinho to profit in behind.
If that doesn't work, play for set pieces.

Should be good enough for a 1-0 loss!

Is Eddie injured? I’d defo rest josko for this. Salad will have a field day up against him. Pains me to say it but Walker has to start.

I don't know what the odds are for a City win but there's no way we're getting anything out of this game

Bizarrely we're still under 3/1 on b365.
Either no-one there has watched us recently, or they're assuming we'll make a Lazarus like recovery.
I wouldn't put money on us for Sunday at less then 5s - even then I'd probably be reluctant

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.

That team may be as good as we can put out at the moment. Probably an argument for Grealish over Doku as in theory he should maintain possession better which is a huge issue at Anfield. There’s the hope that Liverpool away bring the best out of Silva but he’s not shove any form at all recently.

The worry for me is that our kryptonite at the moment is runners getting beyond our defence due to lack of pressure in midfield allowing time to pick passes. We’ve conceded a lot of goals this season from midfield runners and Curtis Jones has been very effective at that. Can’t see Gundogan or Nunes tracking those runs.

No he does not gvardiol cb with Dias ake lb akanji right back

 

[spacecadet]

I hurt currently, but a lot of us FOCs have seen worse. Ake has to play lb (unless the scruffy bastard miraculously gets injured tonight). I would play Doku (if fit) v Robertson. Then Dias and as much height and people who can kick elsewhere.

Kovacic is out for a month unfortunately.

 

[Mr Partridge]

Our 2007 team would have stood a better chance

As much as that's probably a joke, we'd actually conceded less goals that season than we have this season after the same number of games.

Bring back Pearce and Beanie!

 

[Pedestrian]

No he does not gvardiol cb with Dias ake lb akanji right back

He’ll definitely start. Even when broken he’s faster than the rest which if we continue with the high line will be needed.
