Liverpool (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[aguero93:20]

Happy with that Gundogan was excellent v Spurs and Burnley, the last two sides to press us.

 

[jay laruja]

Why is David Silva not starting? Anyone know if he's not fit or anything?

 

[Andouble]

Lovren though

 

[mosssideblue]

Ffs

?

 

[Len Rum]

I reckon van dijk will start.

Not really.

 

[Dicko69]

I presume it's Bernardo Silva on the bench. hope all is OK with David, some things are more important than football

 

[urban genie]

Bit more defensive minded, while still a good attacking prowess.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Bernardo and David on the bench...all the dippers will be hanging around with all that Silva left lying around

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

They could show Sky a thing or two about Balance.

Very true. How dare any team try and break up the Sky Big 4 (5/6) Cartel.

 

[domalino]

Van Dijk missing is big for us, no one they have can ping balls over the top for their front 3 better than him. Pep alluded to how much he'd improve their build up yesterday, it think that and his aerial ability at set pieces is a bigger miss to them than his defensive work.

 

[super_city_si]

Problem with no Silva is that not only do we miss his ball retention, we miss the 20% extra he brings out in sane.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Lovren though

Lol

 

[bluevengence]

I am getting a bit nervy now ...worried they might unleash the crowd again.

 

[mat]

Dave is on the bench as a tactical weapon. (And saves him from being kicked to fuck).

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Strange decision unless he is only just back from Spain and they have been working on something specific this week

 

[urban genie]

I presume it's Bernardo Silva on the bench. hope all is OK with David, some things are more important than football

Both silvas on bench dave and bernard o

 

[remember arthur mann]

What? No Silva? Wtf is this shit? .... im sure theres a reason.

Expected Dave to make the difference and control the game.

 

[lancs blue]

What? No Silva? Wtf is this shit? .... im sure theres a reason.

Most likely reason he hasn't trained as much with the travelling etc., otherwise he should be a nailed-on starter.

 

[kaz7]

No dave fuckity fuck

 

[city saint]

prob cos merlin hasn't trained much I suspect
