Do we still have performance bonuses on Lallana, Lovren and Virgil if Liverpool win the title? --------------------------- Mane & Virgil as far as I can make out. Its a fair bit though, 4.5M from Mane's deal and hopefully similar from Vvd. Feel a bit dirty now!
Even though 'they' say the 40 point mark is no longer relevant due to the emergence of 'the top six' (hoovering up the points). The 40 point survival has been an outlier during PL history, only been breached 3 times (40 BW, 40 SAFC ,42 WH) in the 23 seasons since the league was reduced to 20 teams.
Correct he can't play,can see Charlie starting this one.....Shane is still injured I belive, and Sam didn't play well when he came on Saturday so he should be on the bench.
What happened to Obafemi? I know he got injured but, I thought he was back in training a while back now?
There might be a case for playing Sims with Redmond, as we might be dependent on catching them on the break, as Spurs did when Sissoko blazed over the bar, yesterday. I want Armstrong to start, but his defensive play is really poor, and I think Valery and Bertrand will need strong covering ahead of them.
If you listen to the Podcast, Adam Leitch suggests this. Without Danny, we don’t have a striker who is going to get much joy out of Liverpool’s defence, but with Robinson and TAA likely to be spending long periods in our half, pace on the counter will be paramount. If Shane Long is fit, he would at least be able to run in behind a lot and create space for others, but if not, let’s play Redmond up front, with Sims, Armstrong, and JWP behind him, and PEH and Romeu in the middle. Stick to 4 at the back, as we may as well go for it in this game, we have absolutely nothing to lose.
The thing we must remember is that the better team doesn't always win...and that's where my hope lies. We score with the only two chances we get and Liverpool miss with their ten shots...brilliant.
Nah, I get what you mean, but **** that, I'm all about the Jerry Maguire. The can have the title this season, then finish 6th the following season.
The thing is, the money is now really important to us. Whatever comes in, controls what goes out. Liverpool winning the title, well Its like the devils insurance....do we want the pay out?
Even if we are, it will only be a couple of mil. A win against Liverpool should be worth at least one better league place imo so we don't really lose out.
Well exactly. Any points from any source are vital at the moment, and doubly doing Liverpool down by beating them and knocking their title hopes on the head are well worth a couple of million.
