The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 13th October)

Wasn’t the World Cup octupus more accurate

 

Sunderland will have a lot of players out on AFCON, not sure if any of the others will be hindered. One win 8 draws will be okay

 

I can see a win here lads a draw at worse

 

Ok, name a weaker top flight club???

 

We’ll see in May but It’s irrelevant. It’s obvious who the weaker sides are… doesn’t make them ‘must win’ games away from home. Sunderland lost there, forest drew there Liverpool got gifted an injury time penalty to win there.

 

Any injury news from the internationals so far or we still unscathed?

 

Schmidt picked up an injury

 

Good

 

The African Cup could hinder a few clubs, especially Sunderland and Fulham who we both play in that period. It’d have been nice if those fixtures coincided with us playing both away, rather than at ER but hopefully we can bank a couple of 3 pointers there.

 

I disagree. We need to be beating the weakest side home and away. We must get to 40 points

 

happy to disagree bud... more important to me that we don't give them 3 points. I don't think there are any real whipping boys this year, but that can soon change I guess.

 

I think that the last two seasons were a bit of an anomaly in that all three promoted club struggled from the off. Generally the “weaker” teams start okay until squad depth gets tested when they can’t replace first team players with the same quality. That’s where we might get found out..

 

agree with that… often sides arrive with a winning mentality and a bit of confidence too. When that gets knocked out of them…
