Liverpool (A).. early thoughts.

[st albans fox]

Liverpool aren’t odds on for this 

 

I don’t suppose there have been many home games over the past couple years where they haven’t been odds on

 

Currently evens

 I reckon they start the game 10/11 or shorter - they still have a decent side .....

[Ric Flair]

We will get a result and it will be glorious 

[shailen]

We're still the underdogs here but it's probably our best chance for years to win at Anfield. They will probably look to press us high to protect their defence so if we can beat their press and play on the counter we will get so many chances. They won't have the protection of Fabinho in midfield, nor Van Dijk who positionally is incredible in being in the right place.

I imagine Robertson needs an excuse to miss their two games now they’ve qualified. I imagine they’ll line up:

 

Alisson

 

Milner

Fabinho

Matip

Robertson

 

Thiago

Henderson

Wijnaldum

 

Jota

Firmino

Mane

 

Plenty strong enough. 

 

 

Wtf that’s still a top four team. What are they crying about? Ridiculous 

[Dahnsouff]

Robertson is injured isn’t he?

[Clever Fox]

Klopp has had 2 weeks to plan so I'm sure they will be ready for us. It's still a great opportunity for us to get a result and set down a marker.

 

I just hope we haven't lost our momentum due to the Int break. 

[tom27111]

We'll be refreshed and dying to prove we justify that top spot.

 

They'll also be incredibly motivated to right the wrongs of Boxing Day.

 

This is the ultimate opportunity to make a statement.

Robertson isn't injured. He's got a tight hamstring that will be absolutely fine for next weekend.

[Wymsey]

Hope it's not Mike Dean (terrible beard, by the way) or Jonathan Moss refereeing this.

I prefer to have either of those over Pawson, Taylor or Mason or are the worse referees in the league.

 

Especially Pawson who is just biased to the big side, always.

Whilst I fully expect the same set up as previous away encounters I just hope we get close to Vardy, ala Barnes at Leeds. May not get a better time to play against their back 4. All for being sensible as they still possess so many quality players but we "have" to get at them surely?

Thiago is expected to be available  (as is Fabinho).  If they had less injuries then perhaps klopp would give them another week but given the background, expect to see them both

I would think that’s correct although they wouldn’t want to play him and then have it go for a month ..... could be a tough call

I actually love Mike Dean.

 

Just hate when he takes charge of our games.

 

He's comedy gold!

We probably needed the break.

3 games in a week, some were beginning to look a bit legged in the 2H versus Wolves.

Thiago and Fabinho are likely to be available (according to Klopp)

A win here, although unlikely would be a great result and set a precedence for the remainder of this season for sure as regards our top 4 credentials this time, if not league title! Our last win there was way back in April 2000 when a certain former Toffee Tony Cottee scored for us! I think Phil Gilchrist was the other on the scoresheet in a 0-2 win with newly signed Emile Heskey on the opposing side by then....to follow up our last minute winner courtesy of Ian Marshall the season before. A win since those M. O'Neill days has been a long time coming but it would be great if it were next weekend!

Some of their fans aren’t taking this very well.

Just in case nobody else is counting

At what stage do Liverpool have to stop looking for someone else to blame and start considering that it may well be their training and recover procedures to blame.
