Pre-Match: Fulham V Liverpool (17/03/19 - 14:15)

We go again. Fulham basically relegated. Our confidence up after Bayern game. Paddy's Day.  Twenty pints and three points please  0-3 Reds!!! 

Confidence should be sky high for our players and fans (well... most ) going into this one. I would be surprised if we don't see some rotation in this game, I'd definitely be thinking of bringing Lallana and/or Shaqiri into the teamsheet if I were Klopp. A chance to go top of the league for 2 weeks before City face Fulham.

Mitrovic is their main threat of course but no one can compete with Virg and Joel the way they are playing at the moment so I'm not even concerned in the slightest. Relegation teams typically play with more freedom when they are down, out and have nothing left to fight for so that's something to watch out for but I can't see any other result than a convincing victory to the men in Red.

Still buzzing after yesterday. Come back into this thread tomorrow.

Alisson
TAA-Matip-VVD-Moreno
Hendo-Lallana-Keita
Shaq-Sturridge-Origi

Time to rotate. Give Moreno some competitive football since he will be needed in CL soon.

In one thread you are moaning we won’t win anything with the midfield we have, then in another thread you are saying drop half over half of the team, including changing our entire attack.

No doubt if we done that line up and lost you’d be one of the first to complain about the side and how we won’t win anything by not playing our best team.

I’m sorry but you really are a complete and utter idiot aren’t you. Actually no, I’m not sorry.

I’m sorry but you really are a complete and utter idiot aren’t you.

I marked the part you should focus. It makes total sense to rotate, and heavily. We play Fulham, not a top side, so our weak midfield doesn't count. We have a weak midfield in comparison to the best football clubs in Europe, not in absolute terms. If my team selection can't beat Fulham we don't deserve the title anyway. We need frehs legs in the last two months, we need fresh legs for Tottenham, Chelsea and CL.

The part you have highlighted of my post doesn’t even make sense to what you’ve posted!!!

You are so full of sh*t, you can’t pick and choose what counts and what doesn’t against who we play and you can’t pick and choose what sides we have a weak midfield against in relation to who we play in what competition and winning things just to suit your own warped little narrative.

As for fresh legs, we don’t play for 2 weeks after the Fulham game and have had a couple of breaks since the Wolves defeat...hardly pressed with a hectic schedule are we?!

As long as no After the Lord Mayors show we should be fine . Lallana will come in for this not sure if Hendo fit ?

I would NOT heavily rotate for this, this is a perfect opportunity for us to reduce the goal difference a bit, so I want to see full throttle football, anything less than 3-0 to us and I'll be a bit disappointed.

No reason to rest Robertson either.
He'll get plenty of that when he misses the next CL game through suspension.

Screw rotation! Arent we having a 2 week break after this weekend?? Play the strongest and get that goal difference up. I guess we'll field a 4-2-3-1 with Mo up top and either of Shaq/Lallana starting.

Salah
Mane-Bobby-Shaq/Adam
Fab-Gini
Robbo-Virg-Matip-TAA
Alisson

Subs: Mig, Lovren, Milner, Hendo/Keita?, Adam/Shaq, Origi, Sturridge

Every game for the remainder of the season is a must win at all costs, we have to play our strongest 11.

I would imagine our lads are going to be flying for this after the last two games our form has come back exactly at the right time.
Can't wait

You know Hendo went off injured against Bayern, right?

It didn't look bad and Jürgen didn't seem much concerned. He'll be fit.

No reason to rest Robertson either.

It's more about Moreno gettin' some football. The guy will probably play for us in the CL since Robbo is suspended for the 1st leg. I'd give Moreno some football to get into it again, the guy hasn't played competitive football for months, literally. At least that would be my line of thinking if I was a coach.

That right, aye? Strange how Klopp ruled him in in his presser this morning then.

And your 60 Mio. € man is touch and go.

Strange how Klopp ruled him in in his presser this morning then.

Oh, didn't have this info.

Gini could do with a rest but not sure we’ve got the numbers to do it with Keita and Hendo having knocks.

Alisson; TAA, Matip, VVD, Robbo; Fabinho, Gini, Lallana; Salah, Firmino, Mane.

It’ll be Milner at LB for the first leg against Porto.

Is Moreno that bad? It would be the ultimate humiliation for him and basically seal his departure.

Front 3 should really be filling their boots against these.

No team has conceded more after 30 games than they have.

Perfect match to reduce that goal diff v City

Salah to get a hat trick

Must get the points to sit two points clear over the International break.

Is Moreno that bad? It would be the ultimate humiliation for him and basically seal his departure.

Yes he's that bad.

I'm up in Liverpool this weekend, no Sky at the hotel, so was thinking of going to the "The Liverpool" pub to watch it, any local lads on here think that's ok ?

You can’t be a Liverpool fan - there’s no way.

You really are a clown.

I wanted to reply. But I can't be bothered anymore. The german's obviously winding us up. The german can say whatever he or she wants, I'm just gonna ignore henceforth.

Not going to be taken in by those poor posts. I'd rather reply to people like yourselves.

Hope to F**k we don't trip up here,saturday out for beers for St.Patricks eve, stay home to watch the game sunday avoid the shitty parade crowd.

I'm the Forum BS Smeller (remember Hollywood plus his alter ego the EggMan? )   and Herr Panzer stunk the moment he came on.

He still has his f**king tank parked so it may be a few grenades into the hatch that will get a response.
I'll give him some German verbal abuse and mention the War   .

If you think we should rotate heavily at this stage in the season with everything to play for you have a lot to learn.

Every game is a cup final now. Full strength all the way. No more Sturridge, no Moreno, no unproven midfield or forward lines. Strong, proven lineups only.

You're not very bright, and that's ok, but please learn from this. Baffling post, really was.

Strong teams from now on for me

Lallana will probably come back in. Maybe Origi on the wing, push Mane in the middle, and keep Bob in reserve.
Don't think Jürgen will change much, but would expect one or two changes from the side that played most of the game vs Munich.
Need the win, nothing less - but that win against Munich should be a massive confidence boost.

You know Hendo went off injured against Bayern, right?

Agree. Robertson plays for me as does pretty much everyone else you would count as first choice.

I'd be inclined to go with Milner and Lallana in midfield with Fabinho or Gini.

I hope we are not lethargic after weds. We cannot afford to drop anymore points if we want to give ourselves a chance. Can't see city dropping many if any. Must be on it from the start. What a week it would be if we can be back on top going into the break. Wouldn't underesti.mate anyone as Fulham are fighting for there life and have had a full week to prepare and at home but we should be winning this. I'd be happy with a 1-0.

Every single thread posting negative sh*te.

I'd take 1-0 every single day of the week.

Although I think we'll smash them. Fulham can't defend. I can see a Salah hattrick coming a mile off.

Play the team that started v burnley

Play the team that started v burnley

Fair shout. Would like to see Shaqiri get some minutes too.

Not a bad idea to give Shaqiri a game. He needs to be up to speed should we get any injuries in the run in. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but Lallana could do ok against Fulham if he’s still on the same form he was last week. Hero injured so Hendo dm will cover for any Shaqiri lack of defensive duties, and Lallana does plenty in that respect.
Should be a tough win, they will battle like F**k. Going for 4:0
With three late late goals.

I just can’t see Shaqiri getting back in the team. He’s been non existent every time he’s come on for months. No time for that unfortunately.

Lallana way ahead of him now.

             Adolph you cannot be serious,it is enough to start another war.

We need frehs legs in the last two months, we need fresh legs for Tottenham, Chelsea and CL.

The lads have had scouple of extended breaks not so long ago having gone out of the cups early and whilst we didn’t we didn’t really see the benefit in the subsequent games we could see it now. Be very very surprised if we see whole scale rotation at the weekend. A couple of players tops, Lallana and Origi maybe, Studge and Moreno? Fook that and bloody stupid if it happens.

Outside chance it might be a case of after the lord mayor's show type thingy. Klopp will be aware of this and might play Lallana just to pep it up a bit. Adam was unlucky not to keep his place after Burnley, so I think Klopp might give him a start and his energy will help keep us on blob.

Agree. Robertson plays for me as does pretty much everyone else you would count as first choice.

I'd be inclined to go with Milner and Lallana in midfield with Fabinho or Gini.

Wouldn't mind Lallana or Origi against Fulham.
Other than that no major changes at this stage.

Full strength, get it done lads and hopefully we go on a goal scoring spree. Now's the chance to reduce the GD but having said that, City play them next anyways.

We’ve conquered all of England
We’re never gonna stop
Man U and Man City
We’ve won the f-king lot
Jürgen and his army
The fields of Anfield Road
We are loyal supporters
Anfield is our home
Allez allez allez

Wouldn't mind Lallana or Origi against Fulham.
Other than that no major changes at this stage.

Start Lallana, along with the usual front 3.
Get a couple or 3 goals up, then make changes.

Allison

Trent    Matip    Van Dijk    Robertson

Fabinho

Milner      Lallana

Salah    Firmino    Mane

Not sure if Keita is available but, if so, I'd start him. Midfield put in plenty of work against Bayern, so fresh legs make sense. Lallana is bound to start for the same reason, plus he played well last week. Rest of the team same as usual.


              Alisson

Trent  Matip  VVD  Robbo

   Lallana  Fab    Keita

   Mo        Bob     Sadio

Sterling will dive like superman and aguero will score his customary offside goal when they play Fulham even if there 1-0down in i jury time. The officials will turn a blind eye. For tomorrow I think lallana deserves a start and don't care how we win a long as we do. Citys luck surely must run out soon.

Full strength, get it done lads and hopefully we go on a goal scoring spree. Now's the chance to reduce the GD but having said that, City play them next anyways.

spot on this game is as important as any we have coming up and goal difference could still come into play.
Also as they go away on International Duty we don't know what happens to them anyway so play strongest 11

Cant wait for this anyone else expecting a major statement in our performance

A win tomorrow don't care by how many. Then hopefully city players come back from international break with a glut of injuries.

Gone for a 2  0 victory over Fulham. Feel there is a good chance of a clean sheet, need to put the pressure back on City, by reclaiming top spot.

Back five is sorted.

Origi to come in if Mane isn't fit.

Fab behind whichever other two Jürgen wants.

3-0 win. Robert is your dad's brother.

Is Moreno that bad? It would be the ultimate humiliation for him and basically seal his departure.

No Jürgen is holding him back cos he's above world class, and was just waiting for Robbo to either pick up a injury or a suspension , and now that he has he's gonna release Bertie to the world...can't f***in wait for that !.......



........Moreno's fate is already sealed, he's being put into a Time capsule to remind us all how sh*te he is.....perhaps you'd like to join him....for obvious reasons?


YNWA

Fullest strongest X1 possible today plz, i want our players with the attitude of...F**k you Fulham,  we're gonna F**k you off packing to the championship, i want a total humiliation and embarrassing 0-5 battering at least, cos I'm a greedy kunt,

Lets F**k them up Redmen!!

Great chance to close the gd gap on the 'best prem side' ever ever ever EVER to have graced the Prem  EVER !!!



YNWA

A dent in the GD would be the first thing and Mo to score a few would be my hope for today fancy 4 or 5 TBH ,every game is a cup final ,rest , jeez ,they can rest wi a league winners  medal for number 19 in May, f***in rest.


Sorry for the f`n

Is Moreno that bad? It would be the ultimate humiliation for him and basically seal his departure.

Contract is up in the summer so his departure is looking well and truly sealed.

And yes he is that bad. A shocker of a player and fingers crossed we won’t see him wearing the shirt again, at least not on the pitch

Is Keita available today? I read a couple of days ago that was likely to sit it out but nothing since

Taking my boy to the zoo in west London then back in time for the match. Let’s do this.

Whilst I agree you don’t rotate for the sake of it this notion that everyone plays because they then have a two week break is a bit out. Brazil play twice, as do England. Egypt are in Nigeria. Holland play Germany. Senegal are in action. When you’ve got the top players in your squad there’s no rest.
We get the game won, then use the bench. Then start praying everyone comes back injury free

Is Keita available today? I read a couple of days ago that was likely to sit it out but nothing since

Don't think he's done much training so think it will be a no, or the bench at best.

We need this so much. It is the points you have not how many you can have with a game in hand.

NB: Team no longer available

Or Shaq for Lallana.

Need to get our heads on this and focus now the Munich and draw furore is over. Would be massive boost going into break Top of league. Irrelevant of the game in hand mentally would put pressure on City

Hope we all have our positive heads on today this is a game we are going to win and go Top of the League. I think the lads are going to be absolutely at it today and having seen City flounder and spawn a win in the FA Cup with a dodgy pen and an offside goal we know they will crack soon enough.

Fancy Mo to come back from London with a couple of goals today along with Sadio and Bobby.

You really are a clown.

It's  a game we need to win, but given that Robbo has gotten himself suspended for the first leg Porto Game we need to start giving him some game time to get him back up to speed, so I feel he has a point vs Moreno at least

I agree with that point, Sturridge, give me a break... I don't want him near the first team ever again

Got a good feeling about today

This should be a day for Mo to get back in the goal scoring groove. 1 could bring a few today.

That being said all that matters is the win now.

Absolute rubbish.

Why rest players for internationals? Full strength team out today. We cant control what happens with internationals.

But if we have a break after this its a full team today. Would be a full team anyway. 8 games left ... we cant afford any mistakes now
