      We need to return to the Palace clinical finishing that was missing against the fat tw@ts team. I agree with the fast start and that it must be kept going. I do think however it shows, if it was needed, that retaining the title is even harder. Results went in our favour again last night. We need to take advantage. C'mon you mighty redmen!

      I believe Jürgen would look to replace Matip this summer and find someone more reliable, so for me it would make sense to find that player now if at all possible, names like  Varane, Koulibally, immediately spring to mind, but I think Jürgen would prefer someone younger for longevity and perhaps versatility, Upamenacho (think that’s his name) maybe ?


      The situation up until Sunday has been manageable albeit somewhat risky, but now it’s absolutely crucial we bring someone in, and I think we will, and as soon as fookin possible too ?

      Upamenacho? No Billy, Upa YOUR nacho!!!

      Sorry, working overnights and just waking up after only four hours of sleep. I'll show myself to the door.  :P

      Anything apart from a win is a disaster. We need to win this game for sure. Hope Salah is awake for this one.

      Not sure who to expect as centre backs for this one. I'm thinking it might be Fab and Rhys. The mid field needs a shake up, but I expect Jürgen to go again as he won't want to damage the frail confidence of these players. I'm hoping we might see Shaqu or mini up top with Bob dropping deeper to use his cute passing abilities. Other than that it has to be Ox in the middle with Hendo and Gini, and we may see a bit more penetrive drive from the middle.
      Full backs and three up top the same in that case.
      No doubt Barcodes will play with at least 9 at the back trying to frustrate us, although they do tend to TRY and play a bit of footy, so we may find a few gaps to pass through. I'm a bit worried that this season on the whole is kicking up some strange results, but i'm still going for 1-3 to the Reds.
      I've given them the one goal, as I expect the egg head will find one or two long diagonal through balls to their strikers. One may pay off, but on the whole we should be too good for them. I expect Jürgen will have instructed our lot on how to break through these horrible walls of defence, wouldn't he ?

      Might even be Fan and Hendo in the back.

      I'd they park the bus (and surely they will), maybe a little less looking to score the perfect goal and just have it. Shoot 30 times from the edge of the area and who knows, good things might happen a couple of times. Also leads to rebounds and corners.

      Let's win this.

      same here, I feel Fab and Rhys pairing is expected, but Klopp could play Phillips as well

      United are annoying right now but being a 2-player team is not sustainable over a full season. They’ll fall back in the not to distant future.

      I think they will only gain more confidence from last minute wins like that.
      Weird old season, don’t discount anyone !

      Clearly, Villa scored 7 against us, of which 4 were deflections the keeper could do nothing about.

      Agree on the confidence part. That was my biggest annoyance with the win, that it boosts their confidence.

      But there's 60% of the season left to go and i don't see their 2-player dependence holding up the entire year.

      No saint Maxim for them is good news, lessens the threat on the break

      See them going 4 5 1 so for me Id drop Hendo back, almost in a quarter back role, helping Fab out but able to carry the ball into the middle, I suppose he does this anyway....but playing him.centre halve allows Minamino to come in to give us another key to unlock the all men behind the ball door.

      Hard to call if the gaffer will decide to rest any  of the likes of Trent Robbo Gini etc but if he doesnt then

      Allisson

      Trent hendo Fab Robbo

      Think we’ll maybe see Ox come in for Jones, had a bit of a howler on Sunday. Gini and Hendo the other midfielders. Fab and Rhys as the CB pairing. Other than that, usual suspects.
