Pre Match: Top Of The Table Liverpool vs The Manc bas**rds

Problem seems to be the 3-4-3 formation. You obviously need 100% player cooperation and belief in the manager. That's a 100% certainty. They can all start the game with full commitment but events within the game can test that belief and that's the issue for Amorim.

He needs full commitment from start to finish no matter what happens during the game.He hasn't got that.

It was madness on Utd's behalf to appoint Amorim mid season knowing the football philosophy he would try to implement.
By season's end, the players could have lost all faith in him, and it's looking like that already...
They should have stuck with ETH or even RvN till the end of the season, and appointed their new man in the summer when he had time to implement his ideas on the training pitch and pre season, not in the middle of the season when they're playing 2 or more games a week....
Great for us mind...

We got casual in the 2 games at OT last season. All 3 games they should have been put to the sword. Poor finishing and diabolical defending were our downfall.

If we think we just have to turn up today then we will pay the price. But im not expecting that from these lads. Expecting the crowd to be all over them from start to finish and our lads the same and send out a ruthless message to this league ... you drop points then youre falling further behind.

This game is all about us. Do our thing, stay focused, clean sheet and im confident of the 3 points

Allegedly, 900 tickets went on re-sale for the Rags away end at Anfield, You won't hear a word about that though...

, cowards.....

1. It’s fecking freezing


2. Apparently Konate starts

Not much trust in Quansah if Ibou is rushed back here.

Doubtful he plays 90 mins so a nervy unconfident Quansah will play last half an hour.

I hope so. A 70% fit Konate is better than a 100% fit Quansah at this stage. Too big a game to start Quansah and he's got too many mistakes in him at the moment. Needs to build up his form preferably in upcoming cup matches.

Had a sneaky feeling with Ibou he is basically that good and as I said does not fully trust Quansah especially in a game like this

Heard no Szoboszlai either

Not even going to lie, I'm nervous... hate when we go into a game with these as the overwhelming favourites and everyone expecting us to batter them...

Just on the bench then Dom? Jones in? Arne said no injuries bar gomez on friday.

Only hope the players dont see it that way and are ready for a war.

Surprised at Konate. Obviously the medics know what they’re doing, doesn’t reflect that well on Quansah…

Amorim will dress it up as some kind of battle of the Alamo last stand...." Stand up and be countered"...will be the battle cry......." Yes boss.. .whatever.."..

The beast has returned

Surprised at Konate. Obviously the medics know what they’re doing, doesn’t reflect that well on Quansah…

Said it before but that’s a discussion for another time. He should be loaned out and us buying another cb in the summer if not Jan

Just on the bench then Dom? Jones in? Arne said no injuries bar gomez on friday.

Not sure some talk of illness would prefer Jones anyway think Wednesday better suited for Szoboszlai

1. It’s fecking freezing
Yes it is

2. Apparently Konate starts

A surprise

Dom must have got injured in training yesterday ffs as Arne said everyone bar gomez was good to go on friday.

Strong team that and a strong bench too including Chiesa

Not sure some talk of illness would prefer Jones anyway think Wednesday better suited for Szoboszlai

Ah ok 👍

Not much trust in Quansah if Ibou is rushed back here.

Yeah am a bit surprised. Not great for Quansah and seems risky for Ibou with his injury record.

Snow-covered houses with Anfield in the background, beautiful.

  :f_wah:no sexy Dom for me to look at today 

Ali..Trent..Konate..VVD. .Robbo...Graver..Jones.. Mac..Mo..Diaz..Gakpo.

Slightly surprised to see Konate back. Have to be on his toes as Trent supports the attack.
