Howe's that for a bunch of Cripples v Here's our Graham with a Quick Reminder what a bunch of Shits We are

May just get the cheque book opened for tomorrow 😉

This is rarely a good game, no matter how well we play it doesn't tend to matter. The big decisions always go their way vs us.

 

I'll look forward to this fixture in a few years time when we've matched their spending.

My instinct says Liverpool will win this, but not by the cricket score some are banding around. If Trippier passes his fitness test then we've got our first choice back 5 and we know how stubborn a unit they've become. Our issue today is at the other end of the pitch - no Wilson, ASM, Bruno, Isak will mean lack of attacking threat and I dare say, goals. 

0-2 defeat I'm going for.

Fucking disgraceful this. 

 

 

[Craig 6682]

What the fuck is taking them so long? 

[wykikitoon 20112]

Guess where the office is that processes it.

Marriner will be on full warning to give us fuck all and ensure Liverpool gain points for the top 6 cartel.  2-0 with one being an appalling pen decision

I know it's in Howe's DNA to generally always approach a match with intention to win it, but part of me wonders if on reflection of what he has available, whether he'll set out for a draw and park the bus. 

It's massively frustrating because Bournemouth aside - which I don't think is a credible yardstick - Liverpool have been gash at the start of this season. Had we had the same team which played against Man City, I'd have fancied us to nick a narrow win. 

[wykikitoon 20112]

Totally agree.  I was looking forward to ASM v TAA.

think we've got to frustrate them for the entire game or write it off and build for the weekend. one or the other. can't see us winning unless we get lucky. we still lack a cutting edge.

oh that would have been funny. ASM mad a defensive full pack look like a muppet. TAA is not in the same league as walker defensively.

TAA is great going forward but very suspect going back.

a modern day Warren Barton. but can shoot. 

[Dr Gloom 21912]

Absolute bullshit if Isak isn’t registered to play in time

[Holden McGroin 6581]

Warren Bartons reputation definitely precedes him.

 

He was a pretty crap defender and not that great going forward either.

Can say that pretty much for most of the back 5 during 95/96. 

[Holden McGroin 6581]

At least the others were good at going forward 😁

I'll grant you that, especially Albert & Beresford. None of them were particularly any good at defending and although I know it's considered sacrilege to be anything but praiseworthy of him, Srnicek was a decent shot-stopper and little more. Hislop was no better.

Aye, I loved Pav. He'd pull off an unbelievable save and then let a dribbler through his legs.

 

[Dr Gloom 21912]

this team isn't that bad on paper - it's the lack of options off the bench that will do us. 

 

i hope we play in the same way we did in the past two games. take it to them, press them high. shit or bust  - give the impressive kid anderson more minutes and register isak in time, who knows what will happen?  

 

[wykikitoon 20112]

Would prefer Targett in, but do we save him and introduce him later rather than risk it?
