Match Day Thread Vs Man City (A)

Did Klopp slap Mignolet in the face too?
Dont agree with the decision, I also would rather see Ward play

 

It's good - give Karius more games so we can see if he can cut it.

 

There's a sense that we can turn City over, we've had a bit of joy playing them in recent seasons but I don't think it'll be the goal fest people think it will be. I think it'll be 2-1 either way.

 

I agree, we need to get him up to speed. It's risky doing it in the CL though but what other choice do we have the League cup and FA cup don't start for ages and if you're out then that's less games so we have to give him a shot.

That might mean Stones in.

Wenger on selling The Ox
‘We wish him well, and we wish him all the best and we’re thankful for all he has done here.
‘At the end of the day you make decisions, you choose one or the other one. We had to sell somebody.
‘And I overall believe today we are in a strong financial situation, as always, and we have a good enough squad to complete.’
‘That was the only thing that was really tough for me and the deliberation but Liverpool was the only option for me in terms of where I thought I would be playing.
‘The team and the feel of the whole football club in general just sat right with me.

 

Barcalona did it with Bravo being the league goalie and Ter stegen was the CL keeper.

Wasn't Bravo then dropped or sold after that ...

 

In the cup ok not in the league, he was erratic against Arsenal

 

It was his first start in a while - was bound to be nervy.

 

Other than delay his kicking he was okay. After the 3 errors he started kicking the ball immediately it arrived and no more panic stations.

Sometimes I feel some players will not get support no matter how well they play or try to. With more games he will get better.

 

I thought one of the three was harsh because Matip played him into trouble. But he should be doing better with the others.

He didn't have much to do but he dealt with anything in the box and his distribution is so much better than Migs.

Hopefully he can push on an improve. He's a young, cocky keeper who is better suited to our high line.

 

Hmmm... Let's see if we still think that by December.

 

I think that City are due a result against us and we are due a poor result against one of the top six.
Just going with laws of averages so think this will be a 3-1 loss

 

Hope is not tomorrow we are both on seven points. A draw is ok.

 

All that salad's doing you no good at all.

 

We won't always get it, but we should go into every game with the attitude that nothing less than a win is acceptable.

 

If they play well they will get the support, (from all but the most bloody-minded of us) - but that is different to wanting to risk important games on someone who isn't yet ready for them.
Of course players need game time to come up to speed, but they have to reach the required level of competence before they're ready to be thrown in. Perhaps Klopp thinks Karius has reached that, and it's his decision, but so far Karius hasn't instilled me with confidence.
A frank assessment isn't a demolition job.

 

That's the worry, I'm all for giving him a chance but the CL is important and do we want to risk being out early doors, that being said he's not that bad and as long as we play well as a team he should be ok. It's the silly mistakes that cause concern with him, it's almost like we've sorted Mingolet so now we want to back to the old Mingolet.

 

So with Wijnaldum having issues away from home do we change things and add Chamberlain?

Mingolet
Gomez Matip Lovren Robertson
Hendo
Can Chamberlain
Salah Firminio Mane​
