Pre-Match: Liverpool v Crystal Palace 14th April 2pm

7 games to go. SEVEN!! No f*cking about now. Zero point putting Ali on the bench.

Same goes for Jota. And no more Gomez at f*cking full back. I think Dom needs leaving out tomorrow. That was not good enough thursday night.

Not sure how true it is but my dad was saying our failure in the EL may mean only 4 CL places are available next season. This could be good for us as if its 5 then Villa and Spurs are basically assured of CL with united miles behind.

But if only 4, then they are neck and neck with something to fight for. Granted we have to play them both but so do arsenal. So hopefully villa can give arsenal a game on sunday.

The issue though is that arsenal look solid at the back. And they score goals. We cant stop giving gifts at both ends. City will just win out.

I believe 7 wins wins us the league. I just dont see the steel and backbone there though to dig in and do it.

Touch and go for 5th spot Germany slightly ahead lot will depend on Munich v Arsenal as Leverkusen will go all way and our result has not helped . Villa never ever going to get a better chance to get 4th with Spurs currently getting stuffed obviously the further they go in Europe will also help chances of a 5th spot becoming available

I would be tempted to start Jota and get 60 mins out of him . No chance Gomez starts at CB . Has to be Robbo and Bradley at FB at home will need 2 or 3 goals not sure we are able to keep a clean sheet

No more rotation, strongest possible side for the remaining few games left of the season. Score more goals than we concede, try to win every game.

Give it our best on Thursday, simply go down fighting !

Agree mate. Not for one second am i expecting Gomez to start at CB. Quansah is clearly no2 cb at the club now behind virg and Gomez is .... well as long as we have 2 cb's fit hes not getting in there is he. Bizarre. But hes not a full back either or a holding mid so hes in limbo. I think his days here are numbered.

Re Jota yes thats exactly what i was thinking 60-70 minutes.

When was the last time we had a nice comfortable win? And a clean sheet?

We will find out if this team has any bottle tomorrow. Anything other than a for once convincing 3 points and it could be curtains, this on paper is one of our easiest games left.

Not tomorrow but in the upcoming road games we will find out if this team has spirit. Tomorrow we will probably show a reaction because it is at home and CP sucks, then we win and everyone might go into auto-mode again but then we get some difficult road games and it is there where the league will be lost or won.

Tomorrow wont be easy. And with our soft centre and playing santa at both ends of the pitch they will fancy their chances.

It's what we need a statement win and if we get it it's still on although any win will do it would be nice to win nil for a start

Yeah. A couple up by half time and control the game. Heres hoping ... but not expecting

Jota goes straight in up top.

Jota goes straight in up top.

Jürgen says he isn’t ready to start yet. We will have our best 11 available just as we have F**k all to play for

Agree mate.

Forgotten already.

Forest away, and Brentford away.

Obviously we're currently leaning towards "the ship has sunk" end of the doubters and believers scale. But we're just a scrappy 1-0 win again from being in "the sky's the limit" end again.

Hardly comfortable at Forest, they batteted us and we snuck a win ffs.
Take the rose colour specs off.

One thing is sure: Klopp retiring was not a bad idea. He brought us very far but not into the promised land. Now we have a buzzing team with maybe one or two additional key signings coming in summer, so if we hit someone special maybe he can win 3-4 major titles (PL, CL) in the next 5 years. It is this ultimate success that Jürgen lacks.

I was gonna call you a Kunt, but that would make you useful !!

You really have no f***in clue, nor do you understand Liverpool FC, so why don’t you just F**k Off and stop f***in winding us up, you are fast becoming the worst poster in the history of this forum, I’ve not been here since it’s inception but I can’t imagine anyone who posts as much complete and utter sh*te as you do!!!

Ali back today ?

 I'm not convinced we can win today. I think the mental pressure has got to our lads. Gotta as good as he is, isn't going to hit the ground running. He's gonna need a couple of games to get up to speed. Same with Trent.
I feel dead from the waist up after the two implosions versus the mancs followed by Thursday nights capitulation.

A convincing win is desperately needed to put us back on track, but I'm struggling to see where its coming from at the moment.

I've still posted a 2-0 win, but also think this game, as well as winning would put us back on top, anything else would see our season unravel.

Just not sure which team of ours is gonna turn up. 

I feel absolutely sh*t with a capital S. Just hope the lads can somehow get it together and do a proper job today.

To add to that, my fire stick has expired, and I can't even watch it     

The run in starts today at 2.00pm.  Is there no pre match thread ?

Personally, I wouldn't know where to start

Team has leaked..
Ali, Bradley, Quansah, Virg, Robbo, Endo, Macca, Dom, Mo, Darwin, Diaz

Having Jota back from the injury list is a great boost for the boss and will ease his selection concerns.

Strongest possible side available, plenty of support from the crowd and all three points.

Then the season will be far from over !

Kelleher..Bradley..Joe.. VVD..Robbo...Mac..Endo.. Dom..Mo..Nunez..Diaz.

Joe in his best position. Quansah still learning his trade. Jota on after 60. Ditto Jones. 2-0

If Ali is ready mate i see no point in having him on the bench. They going to give him a 30 minute run out and ease him back? Straight back in if hes trained and no issues.

Please start with jota, can’t have Nunez and Diaz in the same team. We need to get that man fit

We don't really know if midweek was a blip or if the two games against United have knocked the stuffing out of the players. We havent really won a league game comfortably since Feb (Luton) but a lot of that has been down to poor finishing - i.e. they've created plenty of chances but the players up front have wasted them. Palace definitely have it in them to hurt us so we can't do our usual of conceding the first goal and then playing desperate catch-up football for the rest of the game - we need to play well, take our chances, and keep a clean sheet.

From what I have seen from Danns he is brimming full of confidence is quick and is fearless. Surely he must get a look in

Im abit worried about today. I know there were 6 or 7 changes the other night which was 6 or 7 too many ... but we looked shot.

But if they really want to be champions ... they will find something. Because thats what champions do.

Really need experience in this game who have been there and done it imo

Ali (back fit, time to put him back on as it’s now or never)

Trent (take him off half time or 2nd half)
Vvd
Gomez (use his experience)
Robbie

Endo
Mac
Jones (get him back fit)

Nunez/diaz- don’t care who as both are poor atm
Jota - play him 60 mins
Salah -get him back in form

Hopefully subs

Bradley on for Trent
Sob on for jones
Diaz/nunez on for jota
Get Robbie rested for Europa

Time to get the lads back fit and stop messing about

I think we can win this well and go through in Europa on Thursday but players like jota and Salah are the key as they are proper goal scorers and not pretenders like Diaz and Nunez

Time to see what klopp is made of imo, does he dare to win or does he play it safe

We need to get the main lads back match fit and this game is perfect for that

Said this the other day. Hed have took the chances others have missed lately. In fact id go as far as to say , from what ive seen of him this season he looks more a threat to score a goal than some others i could mention.

Maybe he can get on the bench today. We need to win. Hopefully Jota starts and we can have danns and nunez on the bench.

Fully expecting us to be top of the league by about 4 O clock if only for a few hours or so ( I'm hopeful Villa can turn up at Arsenal)..If we can't beat Palace at our place then frankly there can be no moaning about where we end up. Thursday night was an example of what can happen if you don't put in the effort, the whole side thought the game was won before a ball was kicked and we got what we deserved...an embarrassing mauling. 100% effort needed from start to finish this afternoon. Take each game as it comes and what will be will be....We're still in the hunt.

Yep, fully agree, he has looked really bright when he's played ... I'd be very happy for him to come on in the second half, could be a real game-changer!

At this moment in time I would not start either Jones or Gomez.

Expecting a tough game. That game against Atalanta was a kick in the balls, plus physically there is a question about tiredness. Palace in Eze and Olisse have 2 of the best creative players in the league, so we'd better defend a F**k of a lot better.

On that note, Kostas and Gomez have to drop out, they were both bloody awful on Thursday. Bradley n Robbo in. Dom also dropped - can't have a player slowing to a jog while watchlng his man run past him like for their third. Harvey into CM. Diaz comes in for Nunez. Quansah for Konate.

Jota, Trent, Jones, Nunez and one other to come on during the second half.

I want to see some emphasis now on controlling this match.

Stop rushing to try and score every time we have possession.

Play football, play from a solid base. Control the midfield. Win the game.

I domt want to see us rushing things in panic and leaving ourselves open at the back.

Back to football basics. Games won and lost in the midfield battle.

I don't want to see a back and forth game with this lot. I dont want to see a stretched game where Olise and Eze are left to run at our full backs. 

A boring win where they don't get a F***ing kick will be the only way we can say we are taking this seriously now. You cannot wins leagues shipping in goals in pursuit of more goals.

Jones needs 3/4 full games to get back up to speed. Dom still doesn't look 90 minutes fit. Difficult time to be easing players back in fitness wise.

Nunez has to improve his conversion rate ASAP. If the wheels come off today, by the time we bolt them back on again, t'others will be long gone.

Do it for the 97 lads….
