Don't know why everyone thinks we will get hammered, can't see it being that bad.

Have you started early today or topping up from yesterday?

[filbertway]

Imagine we start this game with 3 cbs and the best one if Vestergaard. The only thing preventing this from being a massacre will be the Man City players conserving energy and just passing across their backline for the last 30 minutes.

Wishful thinking.

 

Even at 7-0 up against Leeds they were still all out attack.

 

Kind of team that see a weakness and all want to get on the score sheet.

It's gonna be a boxing day massacre. Really could be double figures

At least we will fight for ever more because of Boxing Day

Injured or Covid, can't remember which 1. In his last presser Rodgers said he was due back in training but not ready to start

Interpreting Rodgers, that means he will be out for six months

It doesn’t help the fact we’re soft a wet shit, and we have no players…..

It doesn’t help that it’s Chris WankRef Kavanagh today is the ref today either 4th official Cootes & Paul utterly Useless Tierney on VAR !!

There is no such thing as a competent English referee , that is a contradiction in terms.

[blurryface]

I'm buzzing for today, been in the seven stars since 11, sent my table number to my mates who haven't travelled. Totally expecting us to get battered by Man City so what better way than to not remember any of it.

 

My luck is that we'll win 1-0 and I'll remember the kick off and that's it.

 

Equally happy with that.

If true, curious where Daka is or if we're just fully resting him

Can’t see that being the team. Can’t play Sharky as a right back, would surely have to be a wing back which would bring Bertrand into a back three.

Struggling to decide which is worse.

If those are the players available I would go with 

 

ndidi

vestergaard 

amartey 

 

albrighton

dewsbury hall 

Youri 

choudary

thomas

 

Vardy(if actually fit)/Perez

ian

[Foxxed]

Amartey, Vester at centre half. Thomas and Albrighton left and right back.  Tielemans, KDH and Maddision in midfield. Lookman and Perez on the wing. Iheanacho up front. At least Perez and Albrighton will provide decent interception stats. The Amartey Vester partnership may be the partnership we didn't know we needed (but perhaps the one we deserved). Lookman and Perez will want to impress. Uh. uh. uh. Cool. Let's go?

He limped off the pitch against Liverpool, didn't look comfortable. Well see in 10mins anyway

Exactly what I can see. Get to three or four. Then chill

Can't see that we'd have no-one anchoring midfield (KDH or Tielemans being the deepest midfielders?) whilst Soumare and Hamza are on the bench, unless an analyst shows they go wide every time and don't use a number ten AM. Klopp said in the week he saw we only had one "Number 6" i.e. DM and got his side to exploit the spaces either side of him in the second half, can't see that we'd then go to just KDH or no DM and concede that territory entirely

6-0 city

Still 33 degrees here, so may as well stay up

[Blanchflower78]

Not often your team talk starts with "lads, let's just keep this under 6" 

 

Absolute kudos to those up there behind the goal 👏

With liverpool chasing hard, goal difference could be relevant come may time.  That’s bad for us today - otherwise we could let them score and then be Austria v Germany from the seventies World Cup ….

Let's hope they all went to Kyle walkers Christmas party
