As someone just pointed out on the Leicester pre-match thread, Robertson will now miss their game against Chelsea.

So Herr von Trapp you want us to play a weakened squad in the hope we drop points so you can can catch up? Of course it's Christmas.
Perhaps you would like to pick the weakened team to suit you. We can guess which players you want out of action.
He has been reading the Ferguson book on how to stamp your feet to get your own way.

They've shot themselves in the foot here. Their second team would beat current leeds. Now they'll just have another fixture to catch up on against a better equipped leeds team.

 

[hello]

This is a good thing. Leeds left in 11 goals in 2 games.

Also, with this game postponed does that mean Robertsons 3 game ban rolls over into the Chelsea game now?

Usually but klopp is asking for special dispensation that suspensions for postponed games apply to the rearranged fixture instead as Kane didn’t t get a red card and it’s not fair!

Was it not Leeds who got it called off though?

 

[SWP's back]

Win our game on Boxing Day & huge pressure on them.

Yep. This isn’t great for them at all.

 

[heslops barnet]

At the request of Leeds , you can bin the conspiracy theories

Apparently Liverpool wanted to play……yeh sure

 

[citizen_maine]

Apparently Liverpool wanted to play……yeh sure

a weakened Leeds. Of course they did

 

[M18CTID]

Put the tin foil away for once. This is called off because of Leeds.

No one at Liverpool wanted this game called off he would have been playing against Leeds u18 side with a couple of bad seniors.

klopp has been pretty clear he wants the 28th/29th fixture off - the one against the Leicester side that could have scored 5 against them yesterday.

I bet Klopp is gutted that the Leeds game is off. He knows he can’t really say anything as he’ll look a right twat if he kicks off about it now, considering he’s been moaning about too many fixtures over Christmas!

Even better. He might be a **** but he’s a vital cog in their wheel

 

[jamesha]

We got to make sure that we beat Leicester now - a six point gap will heap the pressure on the dippers

Yep. Can’t just assume the 3 points are in the bag. We’ve an opportunity to pull away now. Let’s not blow it

Just did a squad comparison...

Liverpool

Goalkeepers - Alisson, Adrian, Kelleher (3)
Fullbacks - Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Tsimikas (3)
Central Defenders - Van Dijk, Matip, Konate, Gomez (4)
Midfielders - Fabinho, Thiago, Keita, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Milner, Jones (7)
Forwards - Salah, Mane, Jota, Firmino, Minamino, Origi (6)

City

Goalkeepers - Ederson, Steffen, Carson (3)
Fullbacks - Cancelo, Walker, Zinchenko (3)
Central Defenders - Dias, Laporte, Stones, Aké (4)
Midfielders - Rodri, Fernandinho, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (5)
Forwards - Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling, Foden, Grealish, Palmer (6)

They actually have a slightly bigger squad than us.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Now is the time to engage the after burners , Dippers game called off we have to continue this winning streak against Leicester and in a couple of weeks put Chelski out of their misery and leave them playing for top four.
With the Dippers still in the Carabao Cup anf AFCON on the horizon this is all going rather swimmingly.
Expect a few more bitter rants from Klippety over the next few weeks , we are in the Dippers heads 24/7

They can’t have a bigger squad than anybody every club has the same size squad it’s the rules

 

[kaz7]

We cant count he who cant be named

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

You don’t need to have the maximum squad size.

 

[MCFC1993]

That postponement does nothing good for them in my opinion. Fixture pile up, potentially when star players are away or when European football is back.

Klopp would have preferred the 28th to be postponed if they were to pick one.

If we win, it puts shit loads of pressure on them.
