If we are to have any chance here we need one of Prowsie or Diallo to stick on Thiago. If we let him have time to dictate play and pick his passes then we're ****ed.
Nothing to lose and we might be pleasantly suprised is what i'm feeling. It's more likely that we will be beaten well but Ralph has pulled out unlikely results in the past.
Come on, villa put 7 past a better Liverpool team. I am a little disappointed with that team but if we only score 6 then so be it.
You still have to worry about Firmino dropping into the space between the back four and the midfield and playing Salah or Mane in.
Absolutely. I had a sound off about this last week. There is no excuse for the absence of proper health control of him following this incident. Will we lose? More probably now, yet I'll help things along by going AWOL for the match period as my presence anywhere near the live media for our matches, seems too much of a burden for them and me. I 'attended' the last offerings and this confirmed my wife's plea to 'do something else!' Whilst all the latest concerns are justified, miracles do happen and we've still got some good players on the pitch plus Ralph on the side adding his massive presence to the occasion. Hope is our natural talent and we've got another, dealing with despair, but hope is in better shape this year re Saints!
Yeah I know but their struggles recently have been due the missing link between midfield and attack. Where Jack struggles most imo is positionally against the best forwards. I'd fancy us more defending against them in themselves than having Thiago pinging balls through for the wide players.
I’m concerned about the absence of Romeu and Stephens in defence. Interesting to see Theo up top with Ings. This is the game where Djenepo proves the doubters wrong. c’mon saints smash those bin dippers.
The same Stephens whose kept 3 clean sheets in his last 3 games yeah? Ps. I know its Liverpool and an entirely different proposition tonight
After the last couple of games where we lacked threat and speed, it’s not all bad to shake things up. Very little to lose.
Anyway, I'm halfway through my first beer now so **** it. Bet time too: Over 4 goals in the match Mane to get one of them Prowsie to get booked 22/1
A Liverpool supporting friend is adamant we will win tonight because they have no CBs. I then reminded him we haven’t scored for 2 games and have Alex , Vesty and Romeu missing.
