I'll be honest, I'm ****ting myself for this game and think we as a fanbase are a little too confident going into it. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but they've got plenty of quality players who can change a game in an instant plus one of the best coaches in football history. You don't win the amount of trophies he has by not being able to come to places like Anfield and get the points. I hope its just pre game nerves but I can see them causing us problems with their attack Vs our shaky defence.
you are not alone we are still so poor defensively andd Karius (who i assume will start) inspires no confidence, I can see Mourinho doing the old Fergie tactic of just keep it tight and wait till we cough up a goal from a set piece or just a cross to Ibra. there again in 10 mins time i might have convinced myself we will win by at least 5
I'm not ****ting it at all but know all this favorites bolloxology is just setting us up for a country wide wumming. There's serious cockyness on this forum which really merits a seriously hardcore wum without lube and I for one think diego has saved it all for Monday night.
I think we will probably concede at some point, but we will give them more problems down their end. The creativity and fluid nature of our attacking will hopefully provide enough chances to out score them. I'm quietly confident
And what about jet lag for coutinho and Firmino...... Or if clyne has trained etc etc. We have a lot of work I hope we have done to get ready. Bit of respect for them, we need to be at 100%
Man U have conceded 8 goals to our ten................defence wise there's not much in it Defo goals in this game though
Emre is a definite. Can-Hendo midfield, Firmino, Coutinho & Mane in the attack then take your pick from Sturridge/Origi. One guarantees goals the other guarantees running the channels and not giving their defenders time on the ball.
Look my view is if you want a game like Swansea then start sturridge. Lfc need 4 pressing and 100% genuine pressing. So coutinho Firmino mane up top Then cms is question. Can Henderson lallana is probably the desire. Lallana to be in the press. Was reading the echo on the back 5 being all at home for full two weeks. I think can was with them... I could see can moved to the holding player role... we will see.
I'm sure Man U will have decisions to make re. injuries Valencia right back is an interesting one............and who plays left? Rumours of Shaw being fit.
If lallana ain't fit it will mean either someone comes in at cm or coutinho moves back and sturridge comes in.
Honestly, I think it will be a draw with any result possible. I don't think most people as a comfortable as they claim, they're just enjoy having a laugh whilst being the projected favourites for the game at United's expense.
