wha? we've dropped 13 pts from 78 all season.

Yes, but we have kept a lot of clean sheets in first half of season. Against teams we'd keep it 0-0 score on 20th minute, have the opposite come out more and then hit them for one or two more.

Lately it's a case of score maybe early in second half, then concede , then search in vain for a second. We score freely when teams come out, but if we concede first United will hold out for a win, or a draw if we can't break them down.
I just think it's vital we don't concede there or it's a case of needing 2 to win, to score two against a team with something to hold is tough. We found that out twice recently.
Linda loves her clean sheets for a reason, it's a 99.9% chance we win if we keep one, as we always then to score.

It's mad how the absence of VVD makes me go from pretty confident of winning tomorrow to pretty concerned.

Hopefully we can return to the chaotic, high-press football of last year and win the game the old fashioned way. In fact, I think that's half the reason we saw the 4-3-3 with Salah out wide in our last game. In my mind, he looked the best he had all year there too.

+1
I'm getting too fixated on this, but regardless that it was Bournemouth, we looked so much more comfortable last week and we saw players like Mo and Bobby sparkle like they hadn't for a while. Klopp has said one of the reasons for the 4-2-3-1 was having Fabby in the no.6 and that's looking very unlikely now. Whether it's Hendo/Gini/Millie or Hendo/Gini/Keita I really want to see the 4-3-3. Klopp will have options off the bench and plenty of time to change around if needed, but considering Bayern's leaky defense - 2 against a drop zone team on Sat - let the attack flow and trust in the lanky lads at CB to deal with long balls in.

... Sturridge up top..?

No goals since that strike against Chelsea. What could go wrong?

Agent Coulson

Salah through up top and Shaq if fit on the wind I'd imagine if Fun Bobby is out.

Knex*

Jesus the team is getting hammered with this virus.

facehugger99

Funnily enough, I'd fancy us to progress if we got a 0-0 tomorrow.

Bayern haven't exactly been watertight at home this season.

Harry Palmr

What the feck are they doing? All players should be tested and then isolated if needed.

Agent Coulson

Half of them were stuck in a lift yesterday viruses love a confined space.

Knex*

Going to the country that funds Man City for their winter break was an awful decision.

*dons conspiracy hat

Harry Palmr

Well it's been a disaster. All football clubs should as default administer winter flu vaccine as well.

MD1990

i would start Origi instead of Sturridge if Firmino is out.

Sturridge can only be used off the bench he can barely move.

Pretty sure they'd have done that as a matter of course
Firmino would be a big loss but Mane is way more important, always seems to be the player that can drag you back into a game

Agent Coulson

Henderson went full Lovren.

If we had to choose, we'd choose both," he replied when asked which competition he would rather win.

I feel we have a good enough squad to be able to challenge in both competitions as best we can, and hopefully at the end of the season we see we're champions of at least one, if not both.

Let's hammer the club captain for talking up his team's prospects. Still the worst fans in the world :eek:

If Lovren said the world would end from fans losing their sh1t.


So now saying a player has gone full Lovren is hammering them Jaysus.

Hendo's a big game player, he can walk it like he talks it. Need him on form tomorrow night - I think he will relish the armband for remainder of this year as it seems destined for VVD and rightfully so.

Would be great for him to lift a cup (will take either league or CL) as reward for his captaincy through our most recent "transition" period.

Lovren isn't a big game player then?

Wait, which of our players are we supposed to slag off on Mondays?

Who is actually slagging off a player here?


I quoted Henderson saying something Lovren gets slaughtered for when he does it.


You took that as slagging off Henderson I quoted it defending Lovren.


Seems you have the issue thinking every post is about slagging of players.

Mea culpa. How's your Monday going

gimli2112

Utd have a strong team out in the FA cup, almost full strength. Best player on the bench though, so it's important just not as important as Sunday, I guess

Firmino out? Unfortunate. Rejig the formstion to get shaqiri in or a straight swap for origi/sturridge.virus apparently

Is shaqiri also a doubt, I don't like to see him starting.

Further reading suggests he didnt train with the team to stop it spreading.

When I read shíte like this, I really hope the lads give blood sweat and tears to win for the manager tomorrow night :

Kante is being wasted at Chelsea I'd love to see us make an off for him in the summer.

Matic should be off and out of the weekends game very very lucky not to get a second yellow there

I'm fine with him playing Sunday, don't rate him anymore

If Pogba or Rashford want to throw an auld Fellaini at somebody though I'd take that red please

I imagine Sarri could be long gone by the time Chelsea come to Anfield. Unfortunately.

Yeah more than likely playing them on the bounce

Turtyturd

Even in their current sh!t state I wouldn’t be confident of getting a result against them.

Agent Coulson

OGS will be having Alex in the dressing room on Sunday giving the pre match and half time team talks.

Are we on rte or ****e tomorrow?

RTE do Tuesdays and Virgin Media/TV3 do Wednesday's.

Looks like we're better off not turning up next Sunday. Ah well it was a nice run while it lasted.

Agent Coulson

Saw this on Reddit great site.

Maddock deleted a tweet about Klopp talking about Sancho the coaching staff being interested in him for years but they knew City would never sell him to another English club.

Maddock seems to have deleted it because he himself said BVB do sell to English clubs.

Jurgen Klopp reveals HUGE #LFC interest in Jadon Sancho, but admits it was impossible to sign him from Man City: "We are not blind – we saw him, we liked him, and we thought 'Can we get him?' No. They don't sell to other English clubs...Dortmund do though

Nerdlingr

Sure we got solanke from Chelsea and he couldn't get a look in. Same as Wilson, Kent, woodburn etc can't get near the team. As great as buying Sancho would have been, he probably would have been nowhere near the first 11. And he definitely wouldn't have been the player he is now. Best thing fellas like that can do is go off and get a game somewhere and not rot in the reserves of a big English team.

Should have got him as part of the sterling deal at the time. Foden looks quality but doubt he will play much either. Hopefully brewster lives up to his hype and goes on to be a star

I called it during the Spurs Dortmund game last week, very talented and would suit our system perfectly.

If we are looking to sign a player from Germany I’d take Werner over him myself.

Bookies have Man City favourites to win all comps happy days we always knew they were favourites for the league
