That sentence is so badly written - I'm nauseous just reading it.

Credit where it's due though, at least they don't call themselves "disizanfield", which must go against all they know.

Gerrard and the missus are expecting their fourth child, apparently. He must be desperate to have a boy at this stage :pac:

We'll let Harry set up the match thread for this one, I suppose.

We have match threads every time Gerrard gets his Mrs. pregnant?

That was the attempted joke, yeah.

I wasn't actually making a separate point about the game tomorrow!

Klopp in presser - "Work hard, don't talk too much, win games."

Good stuff.

The way footballers and ex footballers/pundits misuse the word "took" is an endless annoyance to me.

Maybe I'm just easily annoyed.

EDIT: It just occurred to me we don't really have much to complain about at the moment. Good,isn't it?

Yeah, nothing much to moan about, still conceding from corners but the defensive errors are down overall, we are much better defending in open play.

Coutinho has been excellent and I think he is our most effective presser. He often doesn't just tackle or press, he seems to look to see what's the best way I can tackle here to get the ball back and in an attacking position.

And then he's off on a run, dribble or a one touch pass to whoever is in support of the press.

Absolute joy to watch, plus his long shots aren't in double figures anymore!

Alas we do - Milner has been struck down with the dreaded lurgy. Moreno will start

Thanking this doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

With a settled CB partnership Moreno might well be ok. There's no doubt a mistake in him but we might be better equipped for that now.

Don't fancy the thought of Zaha going at him for 90 minutes at all. Selhurst Park is one of those places I don't fancy us winning at. Big test I think.

Yeah, ah well, what can you do.
11 v 11 etc etc

NukaCola

Theres no reason we cant go to Selhurst Park and win comfortably. Yes its a test, but no bigger than any we have faced already. Its a good opportunity to take more points and I hope we can take it. Nothing to fear if we play to our potential.

Our lads should be fresh and motivated after being rested, just as long as we don't start like we did against Swansea we will have the upper hand I think. We have been scrupulously tidy and clean in our pressing/tackling for the most part, and will need more of that to minimize the number of free kicks into our box. Will need to score more than Benteke to win :eek:

BorneTobyWilde

Go a goal down there and the crowd will make them stronger and stronger with every minute played. This is Premier League and a loss here would be no surprise.
All the top teams will lose to teams in bottom half of table. A draw and another point on the board would not be so bad, we just need to learn not to lose the game ,if we can't win the game.

NukaCola

I'm not saying I'll be absolutely shocked if we get a point or we actually lose, but I don't fear Palace at all. Very winnable game. Don't concede early and dont give away cheap free kicks for set pieces and we'll be fine. Play our game and they'll be toast IMO.....

If we dont play well we'll drop points. Thats football. Klopp wants to keep us in the top four, these are the games we have to win no matter where they are played.

If we struggle against Benteke just leave him run through 1 on 1 versus the keeper. He hates those.

If there were two games a season he would be guaranteed to score on a one v one with the keeper......

Heading over to the match tomorrow, hopefully their wont be too many Liverpool goals I have to be careful not to celebrate as I'm in with the home crowd.

This will be a really big test for us.

I think we'll learn a lot from this one about where we're really at.

I've no doubt about us in big games home or away but it's these ones against decent "mid-tier" sides on the road that we still have to prove our mettle.

Of course that's not to say a win tomorrow or loss tomorrow will be a defining point but I think it's going to be a good indicator about whether or not we have the "stuff" to be considered realistic title contenders or not, and even for top 4.

Just sense that this could be a big game for us, for better or worse.

BorneTobyWilde

Jose must be losing it. Suarez geez.
Sitting alone in a hotel room staring at the walls is doing him no good. His only interaction is with the guy who delivers his pizza .

A player missing his family and having trouble settling is nothing new and it makes sense that it could impact upon his performances on the field.

But a manager, a manager who sits in the dugout or stands on the touchline crying about how his family arent with him is so utterly pathetic that it's almost unbelievable.

Why are your team playing so badly? Oh the entire squad are just underperforming because my family thinks manchester is a kip and wont move here.

It's weird he mentioned them at all, just get on with it.

As for suarez, yeah I'd be putting money on that one happening alright.

He always seems to be whining about one thing or another. If its not refs or wenger or the fa its his "own city" now

BorneTobyWilde

I feel sorry for Jose , but I'm a sensitive soul.
He may have millions but going home to an empty hotel room is not nice, especially when things are not going so good. His kids don't need him any more, they are independent. It's a tough time for him as he is a family man. He was very used to going home to his young kids and wife, well that is no longer the case.

hefferboi

Will you go away out of it, there's lads doing the same every day around the world for a percent of what he's getting.

He's a fraud and is finally being found out. The biggest spoofer in the game at the minute and a man with no class or character who only cares about himself. He'll throw anyone he can under the bus and make excuse after excuse if he thinks he can get away with it just to save himself.

His man management skills are non existent and his tactics are long passed their sell by date. He thinks he can buy all around him and eventually it'll work without thinking if the players he's buying fit the system or not, if he even has a system.

He's the definition of a hypocrite and of a mè fèiner.

Him and United are a match made in heaven, though.

Charlie19

I definitely don't feel sorry for the guy but his record of winning titles speaks for itself and if he's given time... I think he could bring success to Utd.

That said.. He'd want to change his persona, because the image he displays to the media is that of a miserable git. The Mourhino that first took over at Chelsea was at least interesting. Now the man looks broken.

NukaCola

Just because Mourinho may be losing his touch at this moment in time does not mean he is a fraud and a spoofer.

The real question is can he still be successful. There are doubts but I wouldn't go writing him off just yet.

Agreed. Fraud is a word that seems to be getting thrown around a lot these days. You don't win as much as either Mourinho or Guardiola if you're a "fraud" yet I've heard both been called that this week. Strange.

"Stealing a living" is another one that grates on me. A phrase oft thrown about by window lickers that have been on the bleach and snorting bath salts.

At least, thats the image the phrase creates in my mind.

He's just going through a rough patch but once that is past he will definitely make his mark. Foolish to think otherwise. They will splash out in January again...hopefully we can put a lot of distance and points between them by then.

Never knew you were an Agony Uncle.

Stealing a living is a silly phase. Funny, I always think of Ballotelli when I hear it.

It's certainly a phrase that gets thrown around far too much. I can see a use for it in the case of a complete malingerer, who refuses to so much as show up for training, but presumably salary can be withheld in that sort of extreme scenario.

With Mario, though, my ire is largely saved for the TC/Rodgers, no-one made them sign him, and ignorance is **** all defence whatsoever on that decision.

How can you call somebody who has won as much as he as a spoofer and fraud? Whatever about him being a man with no class, making excuses, bus throwing etc. but he has won major trophies everywhere he has been. It's not like he jammed his way to a final. He has more trophies than any other manager working today at the top level.

Your post just comes across as a bit loony.
