Liverpool (A) 19/5: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

The end of the season, and it can't come soon enough for us. It's a shame how it's fizzled out but there's some relief in just getting to reset and break out of the cycle of losing every week, which can't be doing anyone's morale any good.

Traditionally you might look at these kind of games as an opportunity to give a few kids a taster of what the big stage is like, but no-one we have is particularly close to being ready even for that brief.

With relegation effectively settled and Villa confirmed in the CL, a decent chance we'll be one of the five games covered live across Sky and TNT. Although if we are, it'll be the most indulgent, one-sided coverage imaginable, as they line up to pay homage to Klopp.

Going to guess that Neto will miss out again which isn't great for his chances of going to the Euros. If it were an England player in the same position (say, Grealish) then you'd probably decide that he wasn't worth the risk.

Won't be watching it for this reason.

Remember when Clive was on our game v them and he spent the whole game talking about us as if we were San fucking Marino....the coverage will make that look amazing.

Also, don't want to watch us get twatted, which we will.

 

[Sniffer]

Yay - all done with 3.36 remaining. The one earlier in the season probably helped...

@Kenny - I've got a revolutionary button on my remote which turns the sound off.

Team as per DW with perhaps a Lemina for Sarabia change.

Sunday will be over by about 1620 when City are 2-0 up.
Shame there’s no relegation places up for grabs as that’s usually more tipsy turvy and exciting.
Can see lots of goals in this unfortunately most of them in our end. Absolutely no pressure on either side so expect it to be free flowing.
If ours is available to watch I’ll avoid it, don’t mind it all being one sided in build up but don’t treat us like we’re none existent and just a make up the numbers bunch with no fans.

Just hoping 'Jurgen Klopp, you're a wanker, you're a wanker' is heard throughout. Our parting gift to the big man.

Naturally think they will give him a great send off by battering us, but doesn't always go that way from recent memory (Fergie's final game, Gerrard's stand out)

We should be able to create problems given how they defend. However, if we persist with this playing out from the back against a side that has historically been the best in the world when it comes to pressing, we could lose by 5 or 6.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Should have been 3-0 up against them at Molineux.

Gaz pulled out one of the worst double subs of all time that day, half an hour to go, Doherty and Fabio for Hwang and Cunha.

You'd think we'd have watched their game vs Spurs where they kept nicking the ball 30 yards from goal and Spurs refused to change tack and lost. You'd think.

I'm going to this game, and the thing that I'm most pleased about is missing the TV Klopp wank fest on TV!

Can I interest you in the revolutionary button on my remote which turns the screen off?

Cheers. Saves me using the hammer I was planning to have by my side on Sunday

 

[Kenny]

As per the post in the VAR thread....we are nailed on to get many dodgy VAR calls in this game...

 

[Loki]

You know, I`m not so bothered about missing it now after reading this thread.

 

[Trips]

Confirmed on sky on Sunday

I love how Coady and Saville(?) Are in a near perfect matching celebration stride.

(It doesn't look like Saville, but it looks like the number 8, and he wore that, that day?)

Is it Batth, no.6, came on as sub?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Batth didn't come on

It can only be either Saville or Edwards, it doesn't look much like either though!

 

[Tony Towner]

Saville was 8, looks like an 8 to me

 

[Alan]

Could it be Williamson? Forget what number he wore (or if I have my timing right).

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Batth didn't come on

Yeah, it looks a bit like Batth but as you say didn't come on. It definitely doesn't look like Saville or Edwards, but it does look like 8 or 6.

My first thought was that it looks like Steven Fletcher
