Match Day Thread Liverpool V Man Utd - Premier League

Liverpool21/20 Draw13/5 Manchester Utd12/5

By the time we play united, all other results are going to be known.
Everton can overtake us if they beat Manchester city.
Chelsea also need to win by six goals against Leicester to overtake us in the table
I beleive we are still going to be 4th in the table on Monday 17th October.

 

Hope we see Matip Klaven at the back for this game.

And Karius to start.

 

I agree Ibra will enjoy the battle with someone like Lovren whereas a more mobile pair may do better against him.

 

Zlatan Ibrahimović is going to be their target man and most be marked very closely. We have a point to prove so they do also.

Why the **** is the Everton v City game not televised?

 

Youve not been a title race since before us...

 

Because Tobes is going to be at work.

 

When Palace are playing WHam? Are you insane?

 

Well would you rather it replace Middlesbrough v Watford? That would be sheer lunacy!

 

Must be part of a package deal where certain fixtures fit a bracket.

Also be a bit unfair if all the glamour ties are televised as smaller clubs would not benefit.

Although argument is certainly going the way of clubs doing their own tv deals if they want the money to remain in the game

 

Waste of time mate.

 

I guess it's based on last season when the first set of TV fixtures are released. Everton were dog **** and Leicester were the champions so now we have to endure watching them get battered every weekend. Until the next set of TV fixtures are released, I'd imagine they won't be on every other week anymore if they continue as they are.

 

Has the game kicked off yet?

 

Ermmmm... Ibrahimovic is slow but quality and if utd start tossing it long we really want matip and lovern there as they are tallest.

Klavan is giving up a lot of height on ibrahimovic.

 

the fun and games have

 

very good question. No 3pm kick off seems to so there must be one of them on tv.

 

I think football is behind the times here. I don't know why they just don't make all games available like they do in other countries.
Obviously I'm aware of the argument about taking people away from the grounds, but we've had widespread televising of matches for a long time now and I don't see much evidence to back up the fear.
With all respect to them, Middlesborough v Watford, or similar fixtures, have little or no appeal beyond the fans of those clubs and their immediate rivals, and whilst I accept that they have every right to be catered for, it's not going to bring in many neutrals.
Real fans want to watch their own team play, regardless of who else is playing at the time - so making them all available would suit everybody.

 

They need to get the ball off us before they can hoof it

 

Elbows will see to that

 

LFC will have i hope clyne and lallana back after a week and add milner and matip to that as players who deffo won't be on international duty. so i hope we are in full training for the game for the eriod off.

Our issue this international break is firmino is back in brazil squad and so thats both coutinho and firmino off... but then again a monday night game is ideal for us there.

In a way playing monday night is ideal for us. Utd are a bit annoyed due to ueropa being then thursday.
