Liverpool (H) - Sat 1st April, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Silva2021]

Looking like this line up: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish, Alvarez

Nice team, but not dripping with goals.

I can't wait for Saturday, but I don't think there's any chance of Haaland playing at the weekend. He can't have trained, and he won't be risked if he hasn't done.
I'm confident that Alvarez is good enough to bag either a couple of the chances created for him, or that he'll pounce on something loose, and that our defence - which hasn't conceded a goal in about 100 years - will be strong enough to keep the twats at bay.
2-0 or 3-1 for City.

I have reflected upon this long and hard and see a draw. The dippers are not good but we have been very average ourselves. Our players get over involved in their international duties, case in point was Rodrigos absurd claims about Scottish shithousery when he should have just got on his bike and headed south. It was a good month after that joke of a world cup in the desert before they came back to planet earth. We now have two of our best four players most likely out so I go for 2 versus 2.

I’d love to know what you consider half decent if ‘very average’ results in a form guide of:

6-0
7-0
1-0
2-0
3-0
4-1

 

[foggy1974]

Wouldnt be surprised if Pep goes with four centre backs & 50/50 between Berny & Gundogan in midfield

Eddy
Stones Akanji Dias Ake
Rodri
KDB Bernardo
Mahrez Alvarez Grealish

 

[balotellishaircut]

No mistakes from the defence and I think we win, I’m going for a 1-0 or 2-0 Mahrez to score anytime

 

[Roachy]

Same drill, must win.

 

[bert38]

Is the right team. Especially like Bernardo on the right where he can press

Hasn’t Bernie played alongside Rodri in a double pivot in every game against them?

 

[richards30]

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake
Rodri
De Bruyne
Gundogan
Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland

 

[Willtaylor]

Still think haaland has a chance of playing

 

[jimharri]

Still nothing official from the club re Haaland's injury? I suppose tomorrow's press conference will tell the tale.
