Match Day Thread Internazionale v Liverpool

Game week 6 in the CL league stage and Liverpool travel to Milan to take on Inter at 8pm on Tuesday 9 December.

Match available on Amazon Prime Video.

I heard that an alien spaceship landed several weeks ago and captured the team, replacing them with clones. While the physical appearances of the clones are undetectable from the real players, the aliens forgot to download the football app. If you are reading this aliens, please return the players, fully fit and back to their individual and collective best in time for this match.

Predicted lineup: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Gakpo

 

Salah apparently being left out of squad for this game.

 

So he should

 

Gapko and Chiesa injured apparently.

 

Very thin squad going to Milan. Anybody know who Lucky is?

 

Youth CB

 

We may not see him in a Liverpool shirt again

 

Quite possible......would be a sad exit but all players move on,even the legends.

 

It would be a shame if he went out this way. I don't know what's got into him, but it just shows how even fame, money and success can't protect you from a fragile ego.
Tbh, I didn't think he conducted himself very well over the last contract negotiations either.
Ho hum - we all move on.

 

It’s really poor, I said at the start I’d back him as he was suggesting he’d simply been frozen out, no explanation, and suddenly they have no relationship. That appears to be bullshit.

He’s let us all down here tbh, no Gakpo or Chiesa tomorrow and we could really do with Salah being available, which he rightly can’t be.

He held the cards with all this bollox last season as he was breaking records and we’re top of the table, right now he is playing like a lump of ****, we’re dropping points every game and he decides to put this on the club.

 

I'm not but later to the party, but....



We'll ****ing smash'em

 

So do we think we'll get to see a proper diamond tonight?

------------------Allison
Bradley---Konate---VvD---Kerkez
---------------Gravenberch
---------Szob---------MacAllister
-----------------Wirtz
----------Ekitike----------Isak

 

I think we're at the point of expecting to lose so will probably win.

 

No.

That's not a 'i don't agree ', it's a 'not going to happen'

 

Apart from Szoboszlai and Etitike, pretty much all of them are playing like lumps of turd. Regardless of the outburst from Salah, the team have been pretty crap all season, and a lot of that falls on Slot due to his tactics/ substitutions and trying to put square pegs in round holes

 

I don't disagree with any of that

 

Tactical arguments aside, there was always going to be a scenario eventually where Salah would have to be rotated because, while he may want to play every game, there has been a noticeable drop off in the back end of recent seasons which I why i could understand the owners' stance on a new contract.

The other thing is that, as the star player, Salah kind of has to just suck it up regarding any criticism. Pre-outburst He should perhaps have got a bit more leeway from us fans and LFC pundits but he'll get no such luck everywhere else anyway, same as Wirtz or Isak.

It's just not an excuse. Like it or not Slot is the manager and the decision to play him or not is his call. If he loses his job by it then you can leave him to lose his job by it without making things worse.

 

Would say it’ll be nice to get away from the Salah drama and just play game of football but we’ll prob lose so not a whole load of enjoyment to be gained!

 

Jones instead of either Isak or Ekitike. Midfield will still be overrun

 

Interesting one. Absolutely zero width on offer other than a potentially overlapping Robertson.
