That wasn’t a dream. That was a nightmare!!Terrible vivid dream about this last night. We're 1 -0 up and playing well until the 70th minute. They equalise, (Walker mistake), we're shaken, they and the rabid crowd are stirred; we lose 4 -1 :-(
If Pep plays the same team as vs Chelsea, there will be 5 changes in comparison to the line-up from the last game at Anfield: Laporte and Walker in for Stones and Zinch, and KDB, Grealish and Jesus in for Gundo, Sterling and Marez respectively.
What's the main difference between both line-ups? The one vs Chelsea is superior in terms of physicality and energy compared to that from February (e.g. Walker, Grealish and Jesus vs Zinch, Raz and Mahrez) and also more creative (KDB and Grealish vs Gundo and Raz). It is probably less likely to get bullied by Liverpool and the croud.
I expect the performance on Sunday (provided the players have recovered from the last 2 difficult games) to be at least as good as in February, probably even better. The result depends also on chance and referees, so hopefully it's good for us.
there should be no excuse for tiredness etc as the dippers played on the same night and in portugal so that doesnt come into the equation.
So they drew a game, that was a brilliant one by the way because they were thinking let’s save energy? Almost lost because they were saving energy to play a bag of shite in Europe on the Tuesday or do you think they were thinking 8 days ahead and saving this energy for us?But they played Brentford before that, not the CL champions. And they struggled vs Brentford precisely because they were saving energy and didn't press properly.
There was also a very dodgy offside decision which did not appear to be examined by the boys in the back of the van.was that the game when VAR refused to see the handball giving us a pen which led to them scoring for the first.
it always shits me when they say we don’t perform when often the players did but the officials crumbled.
