Watford vs Liverpool

5starpool

Another 'very Liverpool' performance possible here against a recently poor Watford team.

Lallana and Sturridge should be on the bench tonight, first XI probably unchanged from the Palace debacle. 3 points very important for Liverpool here, hopefully they can get a couple of goals ahead and then Watford decide they don't care too much. A defensive mess at some point from a set piece from Liverpool very likely though.

Since nobody wants to cement their place in the champs league I'm going for a draw.

Won their last 3 home games.

Bit worried about their form to be honest... they won all 3 of their home games in April, with clean sheets in each.

We have been given a present at the weekend with all our opponents dropping points. Tonight we really need to capitalise. A lot of the season boils down to this match. How much are they willing to give for this match? Do I "believe"? Not sure.

Liverpool have made a habit of disappointing in these situations for quite some time now. I'm not confident of that changing.

Finally, a few decent options on the bench. Lucas there as extra protection or to allow Can to get forward?

Was reading a speel earlier than claimed we dropped points each of the 4 times Lucas has played #6 since Henderson has been out.

Osmosis Jones

So no changes from the team that sh?t the bed last weekend, lovely.

You really dislike Lucas.

As a few folks have said you'd think there'd be merit in just having Clyne and Milner swap sides. Especially with Mane out.

Well I didn't write the speel
It's not that I dislike him, I think he isn't good enough for us. He was good enough for about two seasons, a few seasons ago.
I think he's quite likeable.

........... I was replying to Harry's comment too specifcally about his possible role tonight.

Only realised this after I posted and looked at results, but I was probably thinking of their games recently against the bigger boys when they've been well beaten. Hopefully more of the same tonight, but I'm not that confident.

Watford +1AH bet for me

Hoping Liverpool do what they tend to do in these situations.

Altho a Firmino masterclass would suit my fantasyfootball

Alan Pardew in the studio, I bet Alan Smith is on commentary & will be extra tetchy after yesterday.

Don't have much hope tonight. We have a crap defence and no recognised strikers, plus loads of injuries.

Other than everything is ok.

In fairness to them, they do tend to bounce back well from the bed sh1tting games, still worried though, 2-2.

marklazarcovic

its the home games that scare me

BeepBeep67

Nervous anticipation

Osmosis Jones

Should really be doing better with that, Can should be getting it across goal.

No idea, should be a yellow card for a high challenge too.

murpho999

Watford very physical so far.

martyos121

This ref is determined to see one of our players murdered before he'll even give a free.

5starpool

Hopefully not a dead leg.

mada999

ah sh?te he's going off isnt he ??

Osmosis Jones

Fcuk me that's annoying, and the ref sees no problem with it too.

yup and the first hard tackle we put in there will be a booking etc.

Osmosis Jones

No way is he running that off.

murpho999

Can't see Coutinho running that off. Bloody annoying.

niallo27

Shocking tackle on him no where near the ball.

Dick phelan

Feck sake Coutinho going off tough game just got tougher.

.....dunno, reckon he might

YouTookMyName

We can't have nice things

5starpool

He's bound to come off now. Too early for Lallana to come on as well you'd think. Moreno or Grujic probably if there is a change now.

livinginkorea

Damn it, he won't be able to last for long

mada999

why are we getting bullied.... can someone not step up there and give em some back ???

Matip, Can, Milner, Lovren should all be able to ...........

Seems to be Lallana coming on. Certainly wasn't the plan, he might end up being subbed off again later.

Osmosis Jones

First 10 minutes couldn't be any more typical Liverpool.

LuckyLloyd

Come on Coutinho, bear down. You can grit through this.

LuckyLloyd

:rolleyes:

We're doomed as a club. No complaints, good solid kick the first chance they got. As it should be.

super_furry

Poxed.

Utopia Parkway

Thought that would be a dead leg at most for Coutinho. Not good that he has to go off.

Probably better to take him off, could only do more damage.

Doesn't fancy playing through the pain for the team

Osmosis Jones

Surprised Lallana's coming on, if he's fit enough for 80 minutes you'd think he'd be fit to start. Figured Grujic on or Moreno and Milner to move up.

Osmosis Jones

Nice of all you physicians knowing just how much pain he's in.
