Match Day Thread Liverbird Reds v Cockeral Whites

Today's game is just another game. A very important game much like every 'next fixture' is. Still only 3pts at stake too.

 

Yeah but Spurs drew and United lost, so it wasn't really that important, just disappointing.

 

That would be a view in hindsight

 

I don't understand why you're so persistent with this

 

You jumped in two footed mate. I was just stringing MITO along

 

Not nervous at all but then, rarely do get nervous about football. I do get excited but can't say that's the case yet today.

 

Who was stringing who

 

today no... just not into it I think today

 

Top four are going to take points off each other, Tottenham have taken their three points, so we need our own three points.

 

#LFC starting XI: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Can, Milner, Salah, Mane, Firmino

Subs: Mignolet, Matip, Moreno, Wijnaldum, Chamberlain, Ings, Solanke

Two changes. Gomez injured. Van Dijk-Lovren paired for the first time

ohhhh dear....

midfield what I wanted but now rb needs serious back up so is can going to do that or are we going to pull Milner to ram?

lovren v kane.

we need 4 goals to win 3 to draw.

 

Lovren....let's hope his head is in the right place after the mess he made of the reverse fixture. Would have preferred Matip myself as Spurs rely on speed up front not being overly physical. Think the game will be won by whoever dominates midfield.

 

@luvgonzo

 

That midfield trio suggests both FBs will be getting forward

 

No it is not simple as
Being defeatist is wanting teams BELOW us to lose so we can get further away points wise than hoping we can beat them at home
You are confusing defeatist with being respectful of our opposition who are a good side that have been built in the correct manner - as much as I hate saying that.
I will repeat as long as it’s a good game played in the right manner I am happy today

 

well most of us were worried about the team selection pre game against ManC & that turned out to be a comfortable win - so same again today please.

I'd say Spurs' attack is pretty slow, none of Alli, Kane or Eriksen are particularly fast.
