Bring on your Manchester United....Sunday, 14 December 2014.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Fuck it. Let's put tonight behind us. It's disappointing, but it's done.

 

Now, let's not be a spineless shower and let's have a proper go at these.

 

Jib the 4-5-1 off. 4-4-2 diamond thingy. Hopefully they'll go 3 at the back as they're abysmal at it, and we'll get chances.

 

Hard workers needed. No shirkers. Let's get stuck in. Press them high up the pitch and make them make mistakes.

 

Mignolet

 

Manquillo

Skrtel

Toure/Sakho (depending on fitness)

Moreno

 

Lucas

Gerrard

Coutinho

Henderson (at the head of the diamond for his workrate/pressing)

 

Sterling

Borini

 

I'm not conceding fuck all to that shower before a ball is kicked, and I'll be furious if the team do.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

P.S. I've only started one match thread, Stoke.

 

100% so far....

[Kevin D]

Cunt ref.

[Mathewbet1]

i've never been less confident going into a game against them they have about 4 match winners in that team we have -4.

[Faustus]

Lose the next three this coming week and the season is over, frankly.

[Jairzinho]

They're going to absolutely batter us.

[el nino laff]

Morale been very low lately here not even match threads started let's hope we can build on the second half performance and beat the scum.

[ngogswilly]

If we play Lambert up top we'll do nothing. 

 

We'd be better off just trying parking the bus and trying to hit them on the counter.

Playing Sterling up top would at least offer us some threat on the break. 

[Jairzinho]

Mignolet

Manquillo Skrtel Sakho Moreno

Lucas Can

Lallana Gerrard Coutinho

Mignolet

Manquillo Skrtel Sakho Moreno

I reckon that'd give us our best fighting chance.

Mignolet

Manquillo Skrtel Sakho Moreno

Lucas Can

Lallana Gerrard Coutinho

Toure for Sakho for me he is better bringing the ball out from the back. Otherwise love that team.

[Hades]

Mignolet

Manquillo Skrtel Sakho Moreno

Lucas Can

Lallana Gerrard Coutinho

Sterling

Same with Markovic in for Lallana.

[clangers]

It's only a few months since we went to old toilet and casually swatted them aside without even breaking sweat. How on earth we've managed to fuck this up.

[LFC 6 Times]

Not confident about this at all, saying that I don't think they're very good either, they're 5 win streak seems a false and misleading. I suppose you never know in football, I'd start Markovic for the craic.

[s(k)aturation]

We'd be better off just trying parking the bus and trying to hit them on the counter.

 

Our bus is a mini-van though.

[ngogswilly]

Our bus is a mini-van though.

Fair point! 

[Paco]

Mignolet

Johnson skrtel toure/lovren moreno

can gerrard

lallana coutinho sterling

markovic

 

honestly don't think sterling can make this game but we d have very little without him.

[Section_31]

It's only a few months since we went to old toilet and casually swatted them aside without even breaking sweat. How on earth we've managed to fuck this up.

Losing the best strike force in Europe and replacing them with a pub player and a maniac.

[TheDrowningMan]

First objective has to be keeping the score down. We're going to struggle to put a shot on target let alone in the back of the net, so keeping it at 0-0 or even 0-1 for as long as possible is the best chance we have of taking something off of an own goal.

[TheFridge]

Not confident about this at all, saying that I don't think they're very good either, they're 5 win streak seems a false and misleading. I suppose you never know in football, I'd start Markovic for the craic.

 

Same here, ignoring the sending off that little cameo was encouraging, it really would be handy if he could start having a positive impact for us.

[Block109'er]

Sure they might have won five in a row but as has been pointed out this week especially their performances haven't exactly been that brilliant.

 

As usual the question remains where are our goals going to come from?

 

Sure we can win this one but we're probably going to have to see our best performance of the season so far to make that happen, and given the low bar that has been set so far then it's certainly not beyond us.

[The Golden Eel]

There's no way this ends in anything other than defeat or perhaps a flukey draw if we're lucky

[ZonkoVille77]

We're fuckin shite.

We'll get tonked.

The ref will do us over.

The subs will be baffling.

 

As you were.

[Falconetti]

--------------Mignolet-------------

--------------Gerrard-----------

---------------Sterling----------

 

Think this might be best, I have seen a improvement in Johnsons form the last two games, and Manquillo has done even more mistakes than Johnson. So play Johnson till Flanno is back. But I dont think we will beat the lucky cunts anyway.

[Dr. J]

1) we don't have goes at teams anymore. We certainly didn't last night and won't do so at OT;

 

2) They will be smelling blood and looking to knock us out of any chance for CL, the we did them last year;

 

3) Our only hope is to shake things up. Definitely start Markovic, Borini and promote some kid from the reserves.
