Liverpool (h) pre-match thread

Pep's team talk must include the line " when Salah goes after our left back show him wide, he will always look to cut inside "
It amazes me how many times teams allow Salah to turn inside the fullback. Laporte needs to be ready to double up on the left side when required.

5 posts in on BM and slagging off our players already ? Wow !

That is what I noticed about Gundogan play.

This is a till:

It’s “FIGHT ’TIL THE END”!

It wasn't mine pal I nicked it off Google but I could find who done it and pass on the mistake.
Should I address you as Mr psychedelic or Mr picky or Mr Meldrew? ;)

Go on - explain

Pep's system itself is more mentally taxing, that wasn't to say their players are dumb, Liverpool know how to press as a team and to counter as well as anyone.

Simply put, we have so many different ways of setting up because Pep is constantly challenging them(different formations, different positions, different tactics). You can see by the way we attack, Liverpool like to counter because they can rely on pure pace and instinct in those situations. We are comfortable going against teams with 10 men behind the ball, patiently probing and working out their weaknesses, Pep has said it himself he shows them the way but they still have to think on their feet.

I don't see much of chess match when I watch Liverpool play but what they do is working out very well for them regardless, the point was to use our strengths against them rather than play into their hands.

Everytime we played pool recently it seems we’ve played into their hand, That being said fuck what I wrote. The crowd is gonna be immense today...if it’s anything like what our away fans pulled last game then it’ll be a huge boost! Cmon blues we should fear Not one club in the world!

Any truth in the rumour that we've signed Sergio Ramos on loan to manmark Salah?

I'm getting more pessimistic as time goes on, come on City, prove me wrong.

Haha, ditto. Woke up quietly confident but now I’m a jibbering wreck. Can’t concentrate on anything!
