Date 21/2/23 Time 20.00 Venue Anfield The match day thread is early for this game as I will be in the Arctic Circle when it kicks off with no TV or Wifi signal. The guest presenter is Salvador Dali, a decent left back in his day playing for the surreal artists eleven with Picasso at right back, (I may have made that bit up). Salvador says "A close game this one, can see it being a draw. Do you like my curly moustache I am famous for it you know. Both sides have injuries so the line ups will be of interest. I will just check my watch to see how long it is until kick off......damn the bloody thing has melted again! That gives me an idea for a painting! So I leave you with a painting I dedicated to my great friend Pep Guardiola many years ago, the title says it all!!!" please log in to view this image Well thank you Mr Dali. I think we will be sorely tested at the back and in midfield for this one, if VVD is back it might make all the difference. The back four will need protection from the midfielders, hopefully "Slowboat" Fabinho will find some energy. Up front I am less concerned but would still like to see Nunez down the middle and Gakpo on the left. See you all next Thursday, provided my dogs behave themselves pulling the sleigh, might stick to the snowmobile.
Think Salvador might have painted himself into a corner, there's no coming back with that description of our shortcomings. PS Don't forget to bring back some rolls with yer..
Yes, but have you just jinxed the jinx? With Dali as the match thread master of ceremonies don't expect convention.
"sorely tested at the back" sounds about right, as I fully expect them to give you a good gaping, without any lube.
It's nice to have some of our old friends back on here again. I missed them when we were winning things. It's heart-warming to see how a few months of being ****e has them rallying round.
even though this game is jinxed I cannot see any other starting line up than the one that started v newcastle. even with sloppy Joe at the back and treacle foot fabinho in the middle.
alisson trent konate vvd Robertson Henderson fabinho bajcetic salah gapko nunez that might just be our best 11 now even if diaz is back fit. really not sure about that but it seems to me klopp has decided gakpo is now his new firmino
we are playing this tie due to one poor night away to napoli where 1-4 was completely not necessary result. win the group and we don't fact the team that's done for us time and again.
absolutely but you have to work with what you have. Garlic is in the artic circle aiming missiles at Moscow.
