Pre match - Liverpool vs Wolves, Anfield Sun 16th Feb - 2pm

Time to move on

Up next Wolves at home. 8 home games left. A close to full return on these home games will guide us in towards the title but we cant assume the likes of Wolves is a given

Players, and for me more importantly, fans, need to be on this. A voiciferous crowd isnt jyst for Europe or the top in the league. To be fair its been good this season but lets up it a notch

Team wise not sure if Grav was a tactical or required change. Assuming hes ok id make 2 changes from Wednesday, Trent in for Conor and Jota in for Lucho

Massive game as we could be down to a 4 point gap before we play.......or you just never know we could be looking to extend to 10.......any win will do........as I say lets just hope the players and fans are on it like it means everything

Alisson

Trent
Konate
VVD
Robbo

Grav
Gary Mac
Dom

Mo
Jota/Nunez
Diaz


Gakpo is a doubt so can see him being rested

Yeah time to move on, deffo and focus on another very important game at home to Wolves. I am going for a 3  0 win over our opposition with another massive 3 points for the Reds.

Last 10 meetings at Anfield

0-1 Dec 2010
2-1
1-2 Jan 2017
2-0
1-0
4-0
3-1
2-2
2-0
2-0
2-0

For 19 against 7. 7 wins 1 draw 2 defeats

2-0 the punt!

If Gakpo is out, and this is me, Im sure Arne wont, Id start Chiesa

I cant but think his impact from the bench wouldnt be anywhere nwar that potentially of Nunez ( or Jota )

So id start him and have one of the other 2 as the impact player if its required

See we have Hooper as ref on Sunday i think this is the first time we have had the sh*t since the Spurs sh*t show. Funny how it is this game where Slott is banned.

He isn’t banned yet

Slot wont be banned for this. They will make sure its the away games he misses.

Not the team I want necessarily but just can't see Robbo and Ibou playing 5 games in 14 days without a break and on paper this is the easiest game

Diaz will almost certainly start (and in his proper position). Chiesa has also looked very potent every time he has come off the bench.

I wouldn't be against him starting either. His display in the Plymouth game in which he (and the other forwards) were hindered given the playing conditions and the midfield we had out won't have pushed him into starting contention though. A big impact off the bench hopefully will.

A performance like we saw vs Spurs would be nice. Effective and straightforward win without  excerting too much energy before our trips to Villa and Citeh.

Im resting Grav with villa and cheaty115 in mind. Diaz just doesnt merit a place. Neither does nunez. Going for Chiesa left side simply because he couldnt do any worse than those 2 lads and he may actually do something. Jota back in through the middle. This needs to be a clean sheet and 3 points

A game I expect is to win. Gakpo is a doubt by all accounts so I'd go Jota with Diaz and Salah.

Gravenberch         MacAllister

Salah                 Szoboszlai                 Diaz

Jota

Can’t be fu**ed arsed with Diaz.

Alisson; Trent, Quansah, VVD, Tsimikas; Grav, Mac, Dom; Salah, Jota, Nunez.

Need to start putting a little winning streak together now and really pull away from Arsenal. 2 draws in the next 4-5 games isn’t going to cut it.

A few performances like the Spurs game would be great, a game we controlled from start to finish

Start to finish yes mate but we still managed to concede 3 goals. Or are you talking about the semi? I just think Liverpool need to tighten up. Not good enough defensively for me. They need to manage games better. Scoring goals will never be an issue while Salah is fit.

They mean last week's game.

Definitely need to be more intense, more direct, and not as passive as we were midweek. A focal point leading from the front is what we badly missed. First game Slot really didn't get it right in terms of selection as almost nobody had Diaz to start through the middle, and we looked blunt with him there. Midfield had no runner to pick out or lay the ball off, and so the wide players were quiet. Slot needs to bin this fixation he seems to have with it as it doesn't get the best out of anyone, not the midfield, the wide players nor Diaz who is not a 9.

Figting talk from Konate on Instagram

"It’s all of them against us!! Let’s be ready for the next challenge Sunday now"

Move on indeed,
Back on the winning track Vs the Wolverines and retaining the seven point gap, unless Arse F**k up again, wouldn’t surprise me in the least, but who the F**k cares about anyone else, with 14 to go this where we go into self preservation mode, and focus only on us, 8 of 14 being at home is a big advantage allowing us more leeway if things were to get tight, akin to a further 6pt lead,

Within those 14 games we will become Champions it’s only a matter of time, so we just need to keep gathering points whether it be three or just one, the pressure is on Arse, they simply cannot afford to drop anymore points at all, they simply Have to win, they have to close that 7 point gap or they gain F**k all, and they are broken, no striker, no one for a eye for goals of note, what a shame 🤪,

Alisson, Trent, Konate Virgil, Robbo, Grav, Macca, Dom, Diaz, Nunez, Salah, is what I’d go with,…..

…….Diaz showed signs he’s getting back to his best, so he takes the Gakpo role , Nunez over Jota for his work rate and he’s due another goal or two, Jota off the bench offers a threat to tired limbs & minds plus he’s a tad injury prone so a tad extra protection will do him good, Trent over Bradley cos his delivery/passing is superior to Connor’s and I think even Trent can handle anything coming his way from Wolves,

As for Arne’s touchline ban or not, well it doesn’t really affect anything, ok he’s not on the line barking instructions but he will have communications with his staff, he’ll still be in the changing room before KO & at HT, so he’ll still get his instructions to the boys,

We have to win each and every game as if it were a absolute must, it’s the only way we keep the Wolves from the door( F**k off 😁) pun intended,  WE WILL win the league it’s how we go about getting it done asap now !!


3-0 Champions elect
