Pre-Match: Crystal Palace V Liverpool (31/03/18 - 12:30)

Come on reds. Couldn't come sooner. We need our footy back asap.

First game for the weekend as well.

 

I hate these early kick-offs!

Ox was heavily involved in the internationals, probably Lallana starts alongside Hendo and Milner. Not sure if Robbo is fully fit either.

Mane - Bobby - Salah
Milner - Hendo - Lallana
Moreno - Virgil - Matip - Trent
Karius

Subs: Migs, Lovren, Robertson, Can, Chambo, Gini, Ings

Good line up. That gets the Ribapuru stamp of approval!

To be honest, the line-up picked up itself. No lovren, no Can, no Mignolet so we're good

Remember the match with them in the 2013/14 season?
I still get upset when i remember that season.

Oh God don't remind me, I still have nightmares about that F***ing game, how in the hell did we let a 3 goal lead slip like that to a sh*t Palace team :-(

Remember doing the old ripping yarns golden gordon after that match

Lots of bad memories against these - the collapse in 13/14, the awful way we marked Gerrard's last home game and last season with Benteke and Sakho taking the piss out of us.

Time to F***ing smash them.

Looks like they have more injury worries than us.
Zaha, Sorloth, Wilfred, Schlupp, Tomkins all very doubtful so we need to be focusing on just grabbing those 3 points at Lunchtime.
Shithouse kick off time I know but it is what it is and I'm sure we'll be up for it.
No Emre Can doesn't worry me at all If I'm honest, type of game Milner can get hold of by the scruff of the neck in midfield If he's up for it.

Van Dyke v Benchteke should be interesting so long as it's not Lovren anyway

Mo Salah hat trick again... the mans on fire !!

 

Don't like us to play after international break - we are usually sh*te. Not looking forward to CP & 12.30pm kick-off - fuuuuking hell why could it not be 3pm.

Anyway, head & heart both say 2-1 to us.

Gone for 3  1 for the Reds, cannot afford to lose another early kick off.

Had a dream last night that we were caned 3-0 by the Eagles. (More like nightmare.) Having said that, I'm going to put some money on it. And I'll be made up to lose.

LFC wins. Simple as that.

THIS Liverpool team will win.

Hate playing these....real bogey team for us and with a HUGE game coming up this week, can see how we might overlook them which in my opinion would be a mistake not only for this game, but  also for the one against City. Klopp will hopefully have them focused on the task at hand. I predicted 2-1, but would be happy with 3 points no matter the scoreline.

Not confident at all for the following reasons:

- Old Hogdson has quite a good record against us
- Benteke loves scoring against us
- How ever hard they try to concentrate, the players will have City at the back of their minds
- first Prem game to play after the international break
- I swear we are sh*t at lunch time kick offs? It was sh*t against United anyway
- Palace seem to do well against us

However... we have the best front 3 in the world and should score! Just need Robertson and big VVD to shut down Zaha and Benteke.

Please make my bank holiday a good one Liverpool!

Hopefully. the next game is not in their minds,  Woy knows we go at them from the start, and we need to put them on the back foot from the off. If we do that, we will win comfortably.  Our problem is, this early start, we hardly ever get out of second gear

Should beat this shower of sh*te, though it is games like this that trip us up.

If Lovren starts i will have a F***ing baby! Benteke will beast him into the Kingdom Of The bi*ch.

Got to be Matip and VVD for me.

1-3 Redmen.

Nah, we're gonna smash this lot and then roll over City in a few days. 

We're going to pip the Scum to 2nd.

And we're going to win the CL.

And Mo is going to win the golden boot.

😎

Let's send Woy and his Palace misfits on their way to oblivion,just go out and thrash them.

What ya gonna call yer baby?.......


Cos i think he's going with Lovren  V Palace & Matip V Citizens.....but we'll see...Matip would be my choice too but i think he'll hold him  back for Wednesday.....

..Joel ? Nice name for a baby ? 😉

I sort of understand some of the apprehension going to that shitehole Palace, but i think its fair to say we have more than matched those who think they can outdo us,
Palace are one of those sides who can punish you if your not on your game, but sadly for them We Will be,
Cos every player today will be wanting to perform at their best hoping that they will start on Wednesday....so I'd use this as extra  motivation  to  hammer these kunts into the ground,

Its not just that though, we want to cement a top 2 /3 finish and not have to worry about  playing CL qualifers early next season , (incase we don't as Champs😉)

We'll have too much for these if we play a high press high tempo game,  not  many can handle us this way and i cant see why we need to change it just because irs fookin Palace away...

                             Karius
       Trent  Virgil Lovren Robertson
                 Hendo     Wijnaldom
                         Emre Can
                 Salah Firmino Mane

Virgil will have Benteke tucked nicely in his pocket  !!...


....0-3 MIGHTY REDMEN!!

Matip for Lovren given Lovren struggles with reading & competing for aerial balls. Benteke would prefer to be by his side if he plays

Matip hardly renowned for a physical battle. Would go with Lovren personally possibly Matip against City

Think Clyne might start as well big ask if Zaha fit being out so long
