Pre Match - Liverpool vs Luton Wed 21st Feb 19:30 Kick

Luton are Championship bound. Nothing to fear.

As were Leeds last season.

Regardless where they are in the table, we need to show up and be our best to win. Anything less given our injury crisis gives them encouragement and belief, like Leeds last season where we had a stronger XI out than the 1 we'll be seeing tonight.

Going for a nervy 2-0 win.

As long as every player puts in a good shift, we really should have enough to beat them at Anfield.

Assuming the reported injuries are accurate, I'm guessing this will be the side: 

Kels
Bradley -- Ibou -- VVD -- Robbo
Endo
Mac -- Grav
Szobo -- Gak -- Lucho

Not a bad 11 that.  Should certainly have enough to control the game.  Now is the time for Gak to step up and prove his worth!!

Szobo?

What have you heard the rest of us haven't 

Kelleher, Bradley, Quansah, Virgil, Robbo, Endo, Macca, Gravenberch, Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz

Just leaving for the game cmon reds .

Szobo?

What have you heard the rest of us haven't 

He's out too?  Damn....  I guess it'll be Elliott on the right then. 

Luton will smell blood tonight with us likely to be starting just 4 of our first choice eleven.

Early goal would be massive.

Just leaving for the game cmon reds .

Enjoy the game, 2  0 for the Reds.

Kelleher
Bradley
Ibou
VVD
Robbo
Mac
Endo
Grav
Elliott
Diaz
Gakpo

Don't expect Mo or Darwin on the bench so won't even try and guess that

Luton are energy driven. What they lack in quality, they try to make up for it with commitment and energy. Our depleted team will have to put the foot to the floor, 'full steam ahead, Mister Boatswain, full steam ahead'..

Think you will see couple changes to the back line but I think the mid and attack picks itself since we only have so many available first team players.

--------------------Kelleher----‐-----------
Gomez--Quansah---VvD---Robbo
-------------Macca----Endo---Grav--
-----Elliott---------Gapko----------Diaz

Crowd is massive tonight. We can't afford a library sat on their hands waiting to be entertained. It needs to be loud right from the off right until the end.

Night games usually deliver the goods 

Just for the record if we don't win tonight, we're all blaming Andy right?

When our backs against the wall there is no team that does it better . Whoever starts or comes on tonight will run through brick walls to get the job done

Kelleher
Bradley
Ibou
VVD
Robbo
Mac
Endo
Grav
Elliott
Diaz
Gakpo

Don't worry Rossy, we've got this.

Early goal would be an absolute god send, they ran themselves into the ground on Sunday. Our lads need too come out of the blocks quickly, high press, lots of energy, score early and keep the ball.

Wonder if there's a chance that Lewis Koumas might get in tonight at some point? He's a CF and isn't having too bad a season from all accounts
Or there's Kaide Gordon who's a right winger - and Jayden Danns - they've been training with the first team.

I know Harv is an obvious choice but he is so good as an impact sub with his energy and work rate. He never seems to have the same effect when he's in from the start. And - we don't want him injured as well before Sunday! Make no mistake I think this will be a hard match - what they lack in quality they make up in sheer hard work and yes they may be facing relegation but like all the others they're fighting for their lives and there ain't no better team talk than them being told we're without our superstars!

Reds, we are going win, it’s going to be nervy, that’s all. Nothing new to us.

Think we may see one youngster in the front line - Gordon would be my bet

I'm gutted its not on TV, I hate it when I can't see what's going on  it's makes me nervous, but I'm hoping we have enough in the tank to beat them even with a depleted team, we've still got some top top players.

I just hope we don't suffer any more injuries before Sunday.

First 20 mins is important as we suss each other out but an early goal would be boss, keep the tempo up and get the Kopites singing all the way to Wembley.

Come on you mighty REDS !!!

Only just realised the game isn’t on (in uk) absolute F***ing farce. I know the reasons why but this happens nowhere else. So so so stupid

Too young for the ceefax days?


Sitting intently watching a TV screen that refreshed every ten seconds or so.


Was a time when I worked on Saturdays and would wait for the evening edition of the local paper to come out with the football scores in it.






Brief digression.



COYR!
