Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool

id play kelleher. ally got a knock on the knee
kelleher more than capable to stand in

 

You sure about that?

 

meh.

no risks. it was a love tap really no big deal.

Ward prose free kicks, thats the main issue

 

that kelleher is more than capable of saving

 

Got no issue with Kelleher playing the last two games, more than capable.

 

if its at the right ehight. alisson is just that bit better and low risk.

if this was no chance i'd have no qualms at all about kelleher and tbh on any given day he's fine but this will be both cbs and both full back so at least have someone there.

 

If we don't take this seriously we will drop points. Rotation is absolutely necessary with the CL coming up and 120 mins just played... But we have to take this somewhat semi seriously... And I'm pretty sure Klopp will. He won't do a full rotation.

 

Yeah he's not gonna be silly with it but at the same time I think fresher fringe players are of more use here than tired first teamers so I'm expecting a fair few changes.

Alisson may want to play for golden glove reasons though.

 

It’s a no brainier imo.

those who played 90 to 120 minutes should not start. Period. We run the risk of winning nothing more in pursuit of a 1 in 10 chance of City dropping points. Of course, play the strongest team possible without the risk of breaking them - and see where that takes us.

 

****ing hell dribs tough decision that

 

Top true. I reckon both those teams are about as good as each other, pretty evenly matched.

 

1 in 4. City have dropped points in 9 out of 37 appearances. (Slightly less than us).

Ignoring the actual opposition just looking at number of times points have been dropped... We have a 6.25% chance of winning the PL still if we get through our next match unscathed.

That's actually pretty decent odds, definitely in the realm of "could happen".


Now that doesn't take into account home/away or mentality after losing points the previous game as City does... Or the fact that City can bottle high pressure games (it could end up like a cup final for them)

Them dropping points means we're in with an unlikely, but not unreasonable, chance. Certainly better odds than needing to score four against Barcelona or needing to score three in a cup final against AC Milan in 45 mins.

 

I'm glad to see that merson has shown he has decided that gambling is not for him. He's managed to work out city are a sure thing a million times out of a million and Liverpool have literally no chance.

Luckily merson isn't one to chase a sure thing anymore.

 

****ing hell, you read the OP...

 

So... Fabinho, VVD and Salah definitely out, probably Robbo too.

Guess we're playing a weakened side then

 

The league is gone, but must try to win our last two games because you never know.

 

so the league is gone

but it’s not really gone

Not yet anyway

that about right?

 

That doesn't sound as categoric as mersin.

Who took great delight in writing his bile.
