Liverpool (N) - Community Shield - Sat 30th July, 17:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[BringBackSwales]

I will be reminding them of this face, ONE TITLE IN 32 YEARS, same as Leeds Blackburn and Leicester

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Proper football is less than a week to starting up again.



Do you fancy your prediction chances this season v Pep? New & returning players always welcome.

Rules and regs in this long post to remind you and for any new players that are always welcome.

Points will be awarded as follows - name starting 11 & substitutes and then add first (F) and last (L) City scorer & score prediction (please be clear with scorelines 1-2 City is confusing, City win 2-1 or lose 2-1 etc is much clearer.

Also note cup game predictions are based on 90 mins only.

Format as usual like this please-

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo

KDB (L)
Grealish
Rodders
Foden
B Silva

Haaland (F)


Subs, Ortega, Cucurella, Laporte, Phillips, Gundogan, Mahrez, Alvarez

City win 5-1

Selection Scoring system - 2 points per correctly named starter, 1 point per correctly named substitute (based on 7 subs****) - max 29 points.
****Keep an eye on the number of subs allowed as this changes from compy to compy.

Bonus Points - 1 point for correct first scorer &/or last scorer (F), (L) or (F/L) if you think the same player will score both first & last, 1 point for correct outcome i.e. W, D or L, 1 for correct victory margin and 1 for exact scoreline - max 5 points but bonus 3 points if all 5 achieved.

So max 29 plus 8 on any game, keep an eye out for the number of subs in differing completions (if you enter too many I'll just count from the goalie until the 'legal' number is reached).

12 games per session, probably 4 or 5 in the season, (10 points for the session winner down to 1 point for 10th spot, any ties the higher Team Selection Score will finish above Bonus Points) the with the last session being longer or shorter depending on games left to be played which I'll call as the season end approaches.

Cumulative points table updated at the end of each session etc.

Any queries on my scoring please keep it to PM's so as not to clog the thread up.

IMPORTANT THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS 2 HOURS BEFORE KICK-OFF IN ALL GAMES.

Any late entries will be awarded an asterisk, 2 & you're out of the session. It's only a bit of fun but we need to keep the integrity of the compy.

Good luck to everyone for the coming season.

Guess The Team/Score Compy Session 1 Game 1 Liverpool (N) Comm Shield

Proper football is just over a month to starting up again so I thought I'd get this up & ready to roll. Hope all the regulars are still up and running. Can @Saddleworth2 retain the title? Rules and regs in this long post to remind you and for any new players that are always welcome. Points...

Stand up for the champions…..

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Get them gassed before the season starts

Ouch. Paris police say hi ...

 

[burning blue soul]

Without a doubt, Stones, Foden and Gundog will start this game. They need minutes on the pitch, especially having not played with the new boys in a "competitive" match.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’d leave out Ederson and Haaland.

I worry for Grealish in this game. I fear he’ll get the shit kicked out of him by the likes of Fabinho and Henderson.

 

[wolfie1988]

When did our fans become such soft arses? The players could get injured in any game. The Sane injury was a fluke twist after a standard foul.

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

City 2-0 Haaland twice after only playing a half.

It’s a friendly, who gives a toss what team we put out. West Ham away is all that matters at the moment.

 

[Heath Park]

Agreed.
This needs to be viewed as what it is, a pre-season friendly to get the squad match fit for West Ham.

Easy does it, get through the game without injuries. A 3-0 win would obviously be nice though!

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Ilkay made the scousers cry

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Stand up for the champions…..

Tear gas for the runners up......

 

[Dr Quincy]

Fake an injury crisis and emergency register Andy Morrison to play, his sole remit being to snap Salah in half thereby ending their season

 

[TonyM]

I'd play it like a meaningless friendly and get the missing lads started (if fit). Plus more time for Ortega, Phillips and Alvarez to bed in before points are at stake. And more time for Palmer.

................... Ortega ...................
Walker Stones Laporte Cancelo
............... Rodri Phillips ..............
Palmer ..... Gundogan .... Foden
................... Alvarez ...................

Yep, want to see a lot more of Cole this season

 

[DrBlueBob]

Use it for what it is, minutes under the belt. Let the dippers/media get carried away.

Like the time Rooney arrogantly proclaimed that they had given us a footballing lesson after us having outplayed them in the CS only be sucker punched. How did that turn out Wayne?

Still pissed over that day though. Lad in front of me walked out about 30 seconds before their goal and said “I know what’s coming”.

Fuck that guy and fuck them.

Too true, however we were still coming of age at that point.

Revenge is a dish best served cold and all that. I'm happy with the way things are turning out.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Latest from the Echo….
“How Haaland scoring a first half hat trick means Nunez is a bargain”

 

[LongsightM13]

The weird thing about that foul was that he was about to join Bayern. The consequence was the transfer was delayed and we got a few more appearances from Sane, all be it later on in the season.

Probably lost £40m
