Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018 (MOD NOTE: POST #2805)

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

I won't say a game like this is made for Ox, but he's the type of player who could make hay where gaps are left by the likes of Pogba. I'd be starting him anyway.

If Pogba and Sanchez are both playing left sided, there would be a good chunk of space there for Ox to use.

Actually this is not needed to be discussed now, Klopp just said Gini is on his way back to fitness.

johnpatrick81

Ox, Can, Hendo, Milner. It's a tough one to pick 3. I'd go with dropping Can.

Think Ox will start but mainly because he was rested against Porto midweek. Could be wrong.

It'll depend,

If Klopp is going all out attack he'll use Ox, otherwise Gini will be brought in to shore up the Midfield.

Hide behind the threat of cards, ffs. Its written right there in the charter: match discussion is allowed in the Superthreads. Trying to outlaw discussion on such a massive change is beyond draconian. At least have the courage to discuss your decision and why it was made, but no... the admin says you can't... cowards.

Agent Coulson

I'd start Can, Milner & Ox in midfield.

Klopp won't go all out attack, he didn't at anfield so it would be a surprise to see him go for it at old Trafford.

Maybe thinking nothing to lose anymore now top 4 is pretty much sown up?

Handing one particular lad the perfect opportunity to ban a load of yiz before tomorrow. Don't fall for it.

Top 4 is nowhere near sown up, Chelsea would need to be double digits behind with 3 games to go before i'd feel confident.

Agent Coulson

Start the team that started against City just replace one of the CB’s with VVD.

Grayditch

I'd like the Can from that game.

Here's a novel idea, just watch the game instead of posting on here. I can never understand people posting during a game especially one as big and tense as this.

It kinda can ruin a game. Can interrupt the visual absorption of the match. I don't see a 0-0 here, I see one team getting all the breaks and wining easily. It could be either side that does that though.

Or just let people do what they want to do.

Agent Coulson

Match thread game while listening to Alan Smith/Gary Neville & Martin Tyler :mad:


I'd take Glenn Hoddle sitting beside me for 90 minutes telling me I was bad in a previous life than what will happen tomorrow.

I tend to post on the forums at half time. Personally like checking in to see if how the game is going down with the other users in the forum and then anything I've noticed myself.

Even in the pub with people or at a match I would whip the phone out for 5-10 minutes to have a quick browse at the break. Some may be watching alone and want to post more often, each to their own in my mind.

Potential Underachiever

It's a bit 'out there' but I really feel it could work.

I can appreciate the feeling, but it's pretty much done and dusted.

Mickeroo

Guys, Ive took the liberty of opening Beasty's thread if anyone wants to discuss the decision to trial this approach to big match days:https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=106387438#post106387438

I think we can all agree this has been a bit of a cluster**** so I would appreciate if we could move the discussion about this out of the superthreads and over to the above thread so people can stick to discussing football here.

Thanks.

I'm gonna try this tomorrow. Game prediction: 1-1

Fromvert

Karius

Trent - Lovren - VVD - Robertson

Ox - Henderson - Can

Salah - Firmino - Mane


That's who I'd play but have no problem if Milner plays instead of Henderson or Can depending on how fit they all are but the Ox has to start for me.

Gomez - just missing the match sharpness to throw him in and Trent deserves his starting spot.
Matip - I rate Lovren ahead of him and Lovren likes to get stuck in against Lukaku.
Gini - He's been sick and his away form is not something we need in this game.

Id have Milner in for Ox otherwise you're good to go. If you play Ox then the fullbacks will have to sit. Milner gives more cover.

Yeah I can see that reasoning. My preference for the Ox is the extra pace in midfield, especially for when we win it back in our half or midfield, he can carry the ball forward quickly or join in with the front three. His pace and running off of United's midfield could cause them problems.

Vicxas

Lads,

Watch this and cheer yourselves up:

Lovren or Matip alongside VVD? I'd go for Lovren, he seems to be playing better now and a bit more settled than when paired with Matip.

Is there a reason you have issued the warning in here but not in the United thread? Seems they have had a much longer chat than here but yet only here has had a warning?

Not sure if I'm allowed ask this so apologies if I'm out of line?

Typical utd bastaard!

Brego888

TAA likely to start this one? Seems like he's now first choice ahead of Gomez.

mosstin

Logged on earlier and thought I read that they weren't opening a match thread for tomorrow's match but that folk were free to discuss the match in their respective superthreads. Fair enough I thought, I rarely post in match threads anyway. But just reading it again now, they're closing the superthreads???
Jesus, this place has turned into an absolute joke recently, hasn't it? I'm also guessing that there's probably some diktat that we're not even allowed to discuss this insanity. Which probably means that this post is a cardable offence. Couldn't give a bollocks. Boards is doing a wonderful job of writing its own obituary.

Grayditch

If it were me I'd close both supethreads and open the match thread, but then I'd close that as soon as the ball is first kicked. Then I'd laugh. For ages.

Salah - the man who revolutionised public votes.

Forget black power, #metoo, and the alt-right Mo Salah is more influential than the People's Front of Judea

Agent Coulson

Salah has also brought back chants & songs to terraces.


What was the one a few weeks back Sturridge never got a song and after few months Salah has 6 number 1's three album and a greatest hits out.

U23s v UTD at the moment. On lfctv

A bizarre day on dearly departed Boards.

I’d say it’s a temporary victory at best.

SuperTortoise

2014 we went to old trafford and i just knew we would hammer them, been feeling the same sort of way all week.

Blondie919

I’ll still be here tomorrow but as usual I won’t post much while the match is on. Maybe at HT or FT.

I think we will win but don’t know about a hammering. Just hope Salah scores. Been winding up Utd workmates all week hope it’s not in vain

eyerer

Hope he signs, he's been immense this season and I'd hate to see his contract run short/out

Hard to believe folk got so hot and bothered about where to post for 2 hrs on a Saturday afternoon

no harm done anyway

5starpool

Apparently Manchester Evening News reporting that Pogba and Martial are out tomorrow? I'd prefer if it was Lukaku and Matic, but still.
