Liverpool (H) - Carabao Cup 4th Round - Thu 22nd Dec, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Bar the games spaced out evenly, the players have been training and resting around the hotel and pool. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t all be available for Liverpool. Only Alvarez should be exempt.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Any player who reached as far as the last 8 should be making themselves available for the Liverpool game.

Absolutely, why wouldn’t they?

 

[Rammy Blue]

We have 6 days between the Liverpool and Leeds games, I’d expect all the players bar Alvarez to be available for Thurs, just up to Pep who he decides to start with.

Eh. Ederson gas been poor ?

100% nowhere near his best, infsct his distribution at times has been shite & that my friend is his best strengths, his shot stopping isn't the best & the reason he doesn't start for Brazil

Eddy is 1 of the best for sure but he hasn't been at his best imo & we have a guy who isn't sat on the bench for a laugh Ortega is a top keeper

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

So what would you do/say to Grealish for going to Newyork.

Start spreading the news?

And isn't that why we have given Ederson time off, because we have a perfect replacement as you say yourself, yet Ederson is getting criticism for something the club will have put in place.

The club will surely have agreed with the players when they come back. Grealish for probably the only time in his life has had a chance to go to new york for xmas and is getting blasted for it. He's hardly gone awol and the club will no doubt have agreed with him when he's due back. Much rather give the players a bit more down time and then see the benefits of that at the back end of the season. Its what has worked so well for us in the past.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Don’t see why the players are getting downtime, they’ve played no more matches than they would’ve back home and we not had the World Cup, in fact some less, Grealish hardly had a go Walker only came in at the knockout stages i think. Stones maybe due to picking up a knock. Apart from Alvarez everyone should be back now.

Posted before I think it's absolutely ridiculous to be honest.
Hes barely played for England come back and fight for your place.
Its poor on both players to be honest.

I mean, we all know Jack's got a poor attitude. We turn a willing blind eye because he's ours.

For me, anything that keeps him off the pitch is a blessing in disguise at this point, to be honest. We'd all like him to come good but in the meantime I'd rather play Palmer or Mahrez or someone with a bit of output.
