Match Day Thread Man Utd v Liverpool Premier league

I know everyone hates Can but I think he'll start as he adds more defensive stability which is what I think Klopp will want in a big match like this.

 

I don't feel good about this game at all. Maybe because I've seen us in 4th after today's games.

 

^^^^ #meltdown



PS... you could do with using punctuation mate, makes more sense that way

 

Can only see a utd win tbh. They are on a good run whilst we are not, they are at home and we've got a few key injuries. Doesn't bode well

 

Depends if Jose goes for it or plays it cautious imo

We are there for the taking atm

 

We don't need to be too defeatist or pessimistic. I am sure that klopp would have thought of something.

This is the most pessimistic I've seen this board for a long time. You did say we'll smash them. Believe

 

I hope Firmino is up top for this game, we'll need his movement and link up play with Coutinho & Lallana.

We need our defence pushed high up as possible to stop Ibrahimovic getting in the box, if we start inviting pressure on ourselves and dropping deep he will make chances because he's one of the deadliest players in the world in the 18 yard box.

 

I'm not being defeatist, I agree Klopp will come up with some sort of game plan. Just stating the obvious that we're there for the taking atm minute. We are in a bit of a slump in form and have our entire spine (Matip, Hendo, Coutinho, Lallana, Firmino and Mane) either missing, returning from injury or completely off form (mainly because he's being pushed wide).


EDIT; and "We'll ****ing smash'em!" is part of the jinx approach although, I have said it before every single game for about eighteen months now

 

Firmino central and Lallana in CM is crucial - if they're not there, then they might as well not play.

Front 3 of Coutinho on left, Firmino central and either Origi/Sturridge on left. Id be more inclined to have Origi start because I believe Sturridge has more impact coming off the bench.

 

So you want 2 on the left and 1 central then wouldn't that leaver the right a bit short?

 

Feels a bit loaded ..........on the left

 

It's a bit pathetic tbh, watching them all think they're being clever somehow.

 

And we all know football matches always go to form......

 

It almost makes you believe it doesn't work.

 

For all the non LFC people on here

 

was anyone expecting it to?

 

Hope Hendo is back today he stabilises the midfield. Like to see Origi start with Firmino in the centre. Sturridge off the bench later if needed. This is a tough game at any time, but with Utd on a good run, albeit helped by some iffy ref decisions, and us being affected by injuries, and losing Mane, we could struggle. I would settle for a draw.

 

I'm honouring the tradition for Greez

 

Believe.
