It’s games like this that I miss Vinnie in the changing room, he would definitely be shouting ‘it’s the first 20 min, they will come at us be strong” no mistakes lads, I hope some fucker else is shouting this.

Im a huge fan of Vinnie but he used to get caught up in the atmosphere at Anfield. Always worried he’d get himself sent off.

Yet he lost every time he played at Anfield

I’m more in talking about his leadership skills and not his win ratio, we need leaders on the pitch tomorrow so everyone is focused.

Is there anyone by any chance who is selling one for tomorrow please fellow blue boys

tbf we got battered in a few at anfield where he was in the team

Same team that started against Chelsea. If we resist their obligatory, high-intensity opening half hour, we'll beat them.

Please please please no Sterling tomorrow Pep!

 

[Claytop]

Not the case. We've lost just 1 in the last 7 games against them.

0-0 2-1 18/19
1-3 4-0 19/20
1-1 4-1 20/21

plus the Community Shield win on pens

I meant United.

Regarding Liverpool at Anfield, I feel like we’ve definitely adjusted our tactics from when we used to go there and get shocked in the first half hour. The tempo doesn’t need to be too fast and frantic, that’s what they’ll be hoping for.

Basically a repeat of the Chelsea performance where we were calm & controlled.

A lot of people are also not factoring that while Liverpool will lose Mane, Keita and Salah for Afcon, they are also likely to have to quarantine for ten days when they return.

There is also the likelihood Egypt want their squad joining up two weeks before the tournament.

Liverpool could be without three of their main players for up to six weeks.

And also Matip

The only way we lose this game is if the officials give them a game changing decision , it happens virtually every time we go to thier midden , there is always a lucky deflection or a once in a lifetime 30 yarder from on of their many water carriers to consider
If none of the above happens there is only one winner no matter what their crowd do , they are simply the inferior football team , the only players i would take from them is Robertson and Salah , the rest wouldnt make our bench including their thirty odd year old crocked centre back.
If its our day we win 2-0 or 3-0 if they get a "decision" or get lucky they could hang on for grim death and win 1-0
After the Chelski and PSG performances i am supremely confident , where as they have played the mighty Brentford and conceded three poor goals and a Porto team who's goalie threw four of their goals in, why are we worried about these f*ckers ? even Chelski were the better team with ten men the other week.
