Mid forties and its Liverpool by a long shot for the same reason !

....the saying is, that they are never strong at the same time (Man. United and Liverpool)!!!

Liverpool would have been stronger in your school days as opposed to Man. United more recent success.

Henderson thiago and fabinho all major doubts for the match, neco and rhys williams potentially out as well. With these 3 fit i would still say liverpool have a strong side, but if all 3 are actually out their starting 11 looks quite weak, in fact i dont think they have 2 fit centrebacks and milner can only cover one of RB/DM. On paper this is actually looking like we really should win this...

Don't know if anyone's mentioned Liverpool's lack of CB's at the moment, down to their bare bones of options apparently

 

 

 

 

[wardyfox86]

They're surely likely to go:

 

Allison

Milner, Philips, Matip, Robertson

Wijnaldum, Keita, Shaqiri

Jota, Firmino, Mane

 

That's still a very solid side, we've lost to worse this season. Yet if they win, they'll be lauded as some wounded animal battling against adversity. 

[MonmoreStef]

Please batter them and let me enjoy listening to them moaning for the next week because they have players missing and think they are the only team in the country to suffer with players not being available. 

[foxes_rule1978]

I feel we will beat them... 3-1

[glebe_sydneyfox]

Great opportunity to nick something away to these lot on Sunday.

Yes they've got injuries mounting (familiar experience for us) but they have solid depth.

Let's hope Vardy / Barnes gives their back 4 a torrid time.

Fancy Vardy again against that back 2. Slow and cumbersome, it’s our approach I’m interested in. Will we go for the neck or do what we did against the Arse?

I think we start with the pragmatic defensive approach and see how we go ......

I could see them playing mane on the right to keep Harvey on his toes with defensive duties. Jota looks happier on the left aswell 

[HybridFox]

Barnes and Maddison in for this one. Prove a point against the league's golden goose

Egypt’s tests can’t be trusted apparently so Liverpool have insisted that Salah comes back to the UK to be tested

They would have been due to fly back to the UK as the international break is over, but they will go into self-isolation when they get back regardless.

Mrs Clender:  Oh not again.... You know what happened last time.

 

Danny Clender:  No, really.  this one's quite funny.  Read it.

 

Mrs Clender:  Don't do it Danny.  Don't do it....

The conversation is spot on, except it all takes place in my head, not with Mrs Clender

It’s a wrong - they are positive and should not be putting others in danger. 
 

what happens when they arrive in the U.K. ?

 

does someone leave their cars by the plane for them to get straight into !  Of course not .......they should not travel back until they have tested negative 

[Les-TA-Jon]

Probably the best time to play them, however they're unbeaten at home in 63 matches and have won 29 out of the last 30! 

[KFS]

Do we reckon Timmy will play?

I doubt they are flying commercial.

Even much worse symptomatic Covid patients are evacuated all the time.

Apart from their injuries/absences, this season without the crowds is the best time to.

Robertson is a doubt too. He picked up a hamstring complaint on international duty.

Crowds? 

 

If you've ever been Annfield then you'll know the score. Ynwa and then its like someone pressed the mute button for the rest of the game.
