Fern will get better protection playing centre back now than he did 19/20 Rodri is a vastly improved player in front of him.

That’s very good point

It is. He's less exposed than he was at right back, to be fair.

.....Ederson
Cancelo...fernandinho...laporte...zinchenko
..............Rodri
Debruyne.............silva
mahrez................foden
.............Grealish
With so many injury at the back. Hope this will be good enough. We are a bit short at he back. Ake is not that fit either.

Don't like the look of that back 4.
Still we'll just have to get on with it

 

[minimalistic]

What time is Pep's press conference today ?

 

[hammocity]

You really think that Gerrard will have his players try against them lot? He will probably play himself in goal just to be sure.

Gerrard will have no say once the players get on the pitch. I really don’t think he’ll do anything to help tbe Dippers, as a Manager he’s at the beginning of his career, the Dippers are not relevant to him, (hopefully).

13.30.

I hope Aka is fit enough to play. We know we play a high back line and they are so well drilled. I feel Aka will have been more involved with perfecting that than Ferno. Also, Laporte plays right side for Spain and will be comfortable there.

That's how I see it too

I hope so. He picks the team and sets the tactics though. All he need do is make them slightly susceptible to the hoofball lump it forward style they play

Why would he?

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Why would he?

Because he's Steven Gerrard

 

[kaz7]

I can't see us getting maximum points out of our next two games

Really , get a non stressful hobby

Let’s hope professional pride prevails.

Wholly agree

If the Villa fans got the slightest inkling that he was setting them up to lose he'd be toast. Professional suicide.

That fucker was ref for the handball goal they scored a couple of seasons ago.

Handball and offside. The double stitch up

You know me Kaz nervous Nelly

 

[meeesh]

Conference coming up in half hour,I bet he knocks back all the topic questions they'll all want to ask,and to be honest I'm more interested to see if he says anymore on the injury front.

But no doubt Simon Stone will have a belter lined up........Pep,what makes you want to sign a player like Haaland when you don't play without a striker,can hear it now.Clown

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Will pick his slowest defenders and/or their youngest academy lads to accommodate their PunkHoofball.

And risk his managerial career just as he lands a gig in the PL

Gerrard is in a horrible position. If he wins, he will forever be responsible for 2 league losses for his signature club. If he loses, and it looks as if he tried less than 100%, his employers especially will question his professionalism. Remember, each position in the table is worth £2m (I think) - it could be a very expensive indulgence.
Love it.
