Match Day Thread Liverbird Reds v Cockeral Whites

I know
But leave me to wallow - it my pre match ritual
If we lose I blame you
Plus predicting 4-0 is just a little bit OTT
I actually think it will be a good close game - as I am naturally pessimistic I think we will lose but only by one or two and two will only be because we are pushing for a goal.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

LIVERPOOL WINS :77
TOTTENHAM WINS :48
DRAWS :42

#Vigil Van Dijk has only had one clean sheet in his PL starts this season for Southampton and Liverpool.

 

He's had two clean sheets then...?

Or just one for Liverpool and none for Saints?

 

0 errors leading to goal, compared with 1 for Matip and 1 for Lovren

 

I know you're a miseryguts, I'm trying to provide the balance.
As for the last sentence, I think this has to be our approach - it's pointless a team that can't defend trying to defend so we have to try to outscore them.
Like the City game - if we could repeat that I'd be chuffed.
Though my nervous system might not agree.

 

Yeah - this game really could go either way
I hope we turn up to this one - don’t get me wrong I really don’t like losing but as long as we have given it a go.
Losing to this spurs side is nothing to be embarrassed about
Lying down and giving up is unforgivable.

 

losing is never an issue. neither is winning something to always be satisfied with

how you play is the issue.

both sides want to win. both are well matched. something has to give but as long as we give our best efforts then you can hold your head up.

 

Play the same team as we did against City. We should win.

 

don't think so.

although the effort level can put in there was what helped. maybe if he thinks he can look a worldie he will do that again

imo midfield of Milner can and Henderson

others played themselves out of team v West brom.

 

I think we need the same team and the same attitude. Spurs are not as strong as City but will probably be more cautious. We will need to keep the pressure up for the whole match. We should get the win we need.

 

That is really a defeatist attitude before a big match. We can beat them in fact we need to beat them. If only to keep them in check as well as getting closer to 2nd.

 

nobody like Henderson but we need someone to stay goal side of alli and son to prevent an easy run on our cbs.

can will run run about wherever so let him at no 8.

play Milner to allow Robertson go forward and pin spurs back.

just go with the team from last day and demand biggest effort of year.

you don't want the windy and oxes of this world watching while the defence gets over loaded.

 

I think that Son's part in their system is very underestimated. He is fast and releases the ball quickly to Alli and Kane when they counter. We could do much worse than to keep him under close watch. He is not as visible as Eriksen and his contribution not as lauded but he is a key part of their system. And he scores key goals.

 

Well, apart from scoring goals it's this simple: our bloody goalkeeper and defence will have to turn up, and not in funny boots, red noses and silly hair

 

Klopp does.
And that's the crucial factor.

 

Headless chicken runner.

If he's let get a run on Matip which is most likely due to our midfield being idiots that's where the damage will be.

 

Let's hope that this doesn't come back to bite you. I think he can always assist and score. Kane and Son will be dangerous if they are on their game. The key factor we have in our favour is that they are playing away. Huge difference between their performances home and away.

 

think MF should be
Henderson , Can , AOC but who knows

oh please let Robertson be the LB.

 

Everton was fa cup.

Didn't play v Huddersfield for us.

 

I wouldn't cry about that at all.
