Don't worry,  Vesty and Bertrand will keep it down to 9.

Hopefully Rudkin included a clause in the deal for Vestergaard, where Southampton have to refund the transfer fee in full if we concede 9 goals or more while either of Vestergaard or Bertrand are on the pitch. 

[reynard]

do we actually have any fit players or any not suffering from covid?

[Spiritwalker]

I’m hiding under the bed for this one.

[hejammy]

Is Timmy also out? 

[ronnup]

This'll be a cricket score. Rodgers on his knees 

[AyewJoking]

Our defence will have plenty of presents for ManCity but Rodgers will be left with the sack

Is there any possibility that if I get a note from my Mother, we don't have to play, like you did in the old days for PE at school? 

I tried that. 

Ended up doing it anyway, 

In baggy shorts from the lost property box

[Bob Weasel Fox]

I’m confident about the result . . . . .

The next question after this game is who replaces Ndidi for the Liverpool game 

[blueharmie]

6-1 man City. 

[foxfanazer]

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

[Hollyfox]

Go as weak as possible v City and as full strength as possible v Liverpool. 

 

Don't like Pep but it would be fantastic to hear Klopps post match interview if we could stop them winning at our place. 

 

Nothing lower in this world than Liverpool football club 

 

Top Bants😂😂

I thought Amazon had the boxing day fixtures?

I thought they had my wireless headset next day delivery........

Hopefully Pep will rely on them being too good and won't set them up to work as hard.

Everyone knows all you have to do against Leicester is press and wait for them to crack.

Hopefully Evans and Castagne are not far away 

[Getin]

Loss predicted good display allowing for what team we can put out hoped for. Please just give us back some pride.

Crazy to think we’re likely to be without our 3 first choice FB’s and our 4 (four) first choice CB’s. 
 

Evans / Fofana / Söyüncü / Amartey 

Justin / Ricardo / Castagne 

 

 

For reference that’s like Man City minus: 

Dias / Laporte / Stones / Aké 

Cancelo / Walker / Zinchenco 

 

Would leave them without any first team defenders. Any side would be impacted by our current injury list. It’ll be a miracle if we can even put a side out with Vardy and Barnes potentially out as well 

Wouldn't risk Vardy. We risked Soyuncu and look what happened.

Play complete development squad for this match perhaps with KDH, Choudhury, Barnes and Thomas. Go full strength vs Liverpool

I'd go for Choudhury v Liverpool with instructions to give Klopp something genuine to complain about 

[BroughtonFox]

Can we all agree that Rodgers should be sacked straight away if he starts with a back three of N’didi, Vestergard and Bertrand

Just if he starts with a back 3 should be reason enough! Absolutely turgid regardless of who's in the side with that
