Liverpool.. Pre match thread

Recommended Posts

I really, really want Gray to see some real game time.

Since Albrighton's assists are mostly to Mahrez, overly marking Mahrez just about cancels out Albrighton's threat on goal.

Get Gray causing more of a threat on the left, then we can punish the opposition for overly concentrating on the right. Or Albrighton if he picks up that part of his game.

yes Gray is a talent but at the moment i feel he is a good sub... the few times he has been on the pitch he has done some clever individual things but his thinking is still a little slow, he has failed to see two great runs from other players and tends to amble around not facing the player taking throw ins...not quite up to premiership speed at the moment .

Thats really not how it works.

Just because Albrighton has mostly assisted Mahrez doesn't mean he'll struggle to assist others in the rest of the season. His crosses have created numerous chances for several of our players, it's just coincidence that Mahrez has taken more of these than others.

Subs bench will be interesting.After departures the bench might be more obvious.Does Armatey get a spot,

is he in Claudios thoughts, for the next 3 matches..??

Might we see a suprise from the youngsters.

Claudio said Amartey wouldn't be ready for today. I'll be interested to see if which other youngsters make the bench (I assume some would have to, given that De Laet and Benny are on loan).

None of the players who have left were on the bench last game!! Bench picks itself though pretty much, only question is whether Chilwell is on there instead of maybe Dyer.

De Laet and Benny were on the bench at various times. I don't expect that we'll play Liverpool the same way this time around. 

De Laet and Kram were on the bench on Boxing Day this year. Who takes their place? Gray and___?

Drinkwater missed the game boxing day so Andy King

Liverpool counter attack well and press well too. Bit like ourselves. Don't think it'll be an easy game tonight but I'm certainly looking forward to it. 2-2

Hoping for a win because the next two games are much harder. I'll be happy with 4 points from the next three.

 

I'd bee happy with 3. anything else would be fantastic. Although, I do think we are capable of 7

A win would be HUGE for us tonight... I can't see any of our 'rivals' slipping up tonight, so a defeat would put its own pressures on the next 2 games, where as a win and maintaining that gap just takes that pressure off us and onto our opponents.

But in truth - it's the run of games after these 3 which will determin where we finish.

If he starts linking up well with Shinji for goals, or even starts assisting Vardy more, I'll be over the moon. But currently if you look at his positional heatmap, he's really not rushing on goal. And we really need him to be another goal scoring threat, so we're less reliant on Vardy and Mahrez.

Fair enough. I'm thinking more of a sub. But to get premiership quality, he'll need gametime. And what better time than now, when we need a more threating leftwing?

Would be surprising if Spurs, or certainly Man City dropped points tonight, but I'm not without hope that Arsenal might make arses of themselves against the Saints, who've won their last 3 without conceding a goal.

 

A win tonight and then 2 draws and we'd still be top of the league after our difficult matches, if my maths are right.

3 points tonight and we're still firmly in contention even if we lose to Arsenal and Man City.

 

The future's so bright, I've got to wear shades!  :D

Do these three games not play much part in determining where we finish then? If we're going for 1st spot then our games against Arsenal and Man City - our competitors - will be more, not less, important than our other fixtures

I would go with:

Kasper

Fuchs

Not Hinteregger

Not Dragovic

Not Arias

Not De Jong

Not Chantome

Not Eder

Not Ziyech

Not Musa

Not Aboubakar

Strong lineup, 2-0 win. Not Aboubakar with a brace!

Imagine if we won all 3, guaranteed 6 points clear at the top!

Only if Spurs drop points, otherwise it would be five.

Liverpool are pretty inconsistent but with them beating us already this season I feel like they have somewhat of the upper hand tactically. This worries me, even if they have for long periods of time been dog shit this season. I really hope we do them though, would absolutely love to still be 3 points clear atop the table, and be able to laud the 3 points over my Liverpool supporting mates.
