Liverpool (h) pre-match thread

Otamendi is too rash at times, and Kompany (much as I love him) is getting too slow these days. If these two play there will be a penalty and a sending off.
We've only Pool once in the last four years and that was against ten men, but we can always hope.

I assume that is supposed to say beaten. If so, are you sure

Any news on kdb or if he will make it for thurs night ?

I expect we wont know until training later this week. I don't think it's crucial as he's not 100% percent yet.

Sounds more impressive than it actually is given they have conceded 2+ goals in Cup competitions seven times since then.

True. The cup games you're referring to were against Real Madrid, PSG, Roma Chelsea etc. We concede against Newcastle Southampton, Bournemouth etc... The point I'm trying to make is that their defense is a lot tighter than ours in the PL. 6 clean sheets in the last 10 games vs only 1 for us.

Sergio Aguero has scored in all 6 home league appearances against Liverpool, the best 100% rate of home matches scored in by a player against any opponent in Premier League history.

Hoping for the best but isn’t it sad when at the start of January we still can’t field our best side.

Which is what? I ask because for me there isn't a "best side" anymore

 

[Zenmanc]

Not sure about that one pudge. A little rusty yesterday (only a little), but he has a grit about him that I think might benefit the team

Agreed.

This is a big game for us blues, so we need to get behind the team from the off. We also have to make the atmosphere inside the ground hostile to Liverpool. By this I mean every time that they touch the ball we have to boo them, like they did to our players in the game at Anfield. However I propose to go one step further and every time they commit a foul against one of our players we have got to be shouting for the ref to send him off. Keep on doing this because if we keep this up hopefully the pressure will begin to tell on the ref.

So let's get behind the team from the kick off. Also if there are any Liverpool supporters where they shouldn't be make sure they keep quite or have them thrown out of the ground as they should not be there in the first place.

Im sure there are more mature ways of getting behind the team

We will not get away with playing Zinchenko up against Salah , and Walker is making to many basic errors in his game , Danilo , Stones , Otto , Laporte should be the back four , Vinny has lost a yard and could get found out by the Dippers flying , diving forwards. If KDB is fit a midfield including Melrin , Dinho & KDB all coming back from injury will be a necessary risk ,, we just need to take our chances when they come along instead of squandering them like some recent games. Not sure the Dippers will come with a gung-ho approach , they didnt in the 0-0 at Klanfield , and they will be happy taking a point.

We will have to be flexible because Klopp has been playing Salha down the middle in some games. He will play wherever they think our weaknesses are.

Has to start.
