Liverpool (A) 16/2 Build up and match thread

[Sniffer]

They are undoubtedly the team of the season so this test will be as tough as it gets. I’d go with.

Sa
Semedo Doherty Agbadou Toti RAN
Andre Gomes
Sarabia Cunha Guedes


Gakpo a doubt for Liverpool.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yep, that's the team for me, although Bellegarde can consider himself unlucky. Cunha and Guedes switched though

 

[Tredman]

Sa
Doc - Agbadou - Toti
Semedo - Gomes - Andre - RAN
Bellegarde
Sarabia - Cunha​

What's the story behind the gold shorts?

Probably leading us towards the all gold/yellow/orange kit for next season.

 

[Tony Towner]

My guess is it's a Jeff Chinese luck thing.

 

[Jinky]

Think the team picks itself. We'll lose, unfortunately - they've had a couple of duff results recently (Plymouth defeat in the cup & the last minute equaliser going against them v Everton), so they'll be bang up for this and we're probably a perfect opponent.

Did I miss Vitors pre-match presser? Have seen he was supposed to be out at 1.30pm but there was nothing on the app?

That photo looks like it should have the comment "seconds after this was taken, Vitor brutally killed the journalist"

 

[Kenny]

Crazy thinking Vitor.

Cheers mate. Weird - the app normally sends a notification that the presser is about to start!

 

[Kenny]

So Larsen about to return to training and likely back v Bournemouth.

Hwang out for a few weeks

Crazy thinking Vitor.

I'd repressed the memory but just had a flashback to us endlessly passing the ball around in our own half in the home game.

When we were losing with 20 minutes to go.

Was tough. But I take comfort in the fact that no manager could have plausibly done anything other than orchestrate that.

You missed it. Was listening to it while out walking. I thought Vitor seemed a bit flat but then when asked a couple of questions he was having a laugh and seemed more humorous than I've seen him so far. One was when Maik Taylor (WM) mentioned something about VP smiling, VP laughed and thanked him saying how he smiles a lot as he is so happy to be here!

Ah yes!
It drove G Nev mad.

Crazy thinking Vitor.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all.

Far crazier to sit back and soak up their attacks, defending like lunatics for 90 mins.

Never works. As we have found out on many occasions.

 

[Kenny]

I don’t think it’s crazy at all.

Neither do I.

It's a jab at our previous mentality of "what can we do, there are better than us so we will accept 0 points and hope they don't smash us"
