Maybe if Moreno pays Pulis enough he will be able to score a goal in a comfortable victory. It would probably cost a lot though because he couldn't hit a donkeys arse with a banjo.

[setreal]

Robson-Kanu hattrick I'm afraid.

[The Golden Eel]

Glad to see Jonny Evans is suspended. He's a bit of a donkey but is always frustratingly solid against us.

 

This presumably means Jonas Olsson will come in.... Careful what you wish for, etc. I hate Jonas Olsson.

[Captain Turdseye]

Anything less than a 7-0 win and the pressure will really start to build on Klopp.

he's more Viking than hip Scando that lad.  Does well against us quite often. 

[Hades]

We'll smash them 0-0.

4 of the last 5 with these have been draws...

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

As mentioned by someone in the Karius thread the mancs had one corner last night. And that resulted in a more or less free header from 8 yards.

 

West Brom will cause us all sorts of problems on set pieces. Hopefully we can punish them even more from open play.

They have to actually attack to get corners.

They have to actually attack to get corners.

Agree, I put more faith in us avoiding corners, than avoiding to concede from them.

[SammyAftershave]

Perhaps a dusting off of that old terrace ditty 'Guantanamera' when they inevitably park the bus?

 

A poor man's Man United,

You're just a poor man's Man United...

[Tony Moanero]

I hope they put gour or five past us.

Our record against Pulis is appalling, am I right in saying that the only time we have beaten one of his sides was 4-0 2009, Glen Johnson scored the overhead kick.

No, we beat Stoke twice under Kenny, once in the league, one in the FA cup.

[LFC 6 Times]

Ah yeah, Suarez first game, Meireles was on a real hot streak then opened the scoring. That league cup game was boss.

[Hand Shandy]

We'll get snotted.

[Sputnik1]

I'd be starting Ings in this game. 

[G Richards]

For some irrational reason, as this game approaches it's just making me frustrated all the more with international football. We were playing really well and had some momentum, then it's all disrupted and players get injured and so on.

 

It's important that we get back into our groove and really get into them. If we press and harry and pass at speed we should carve them open again and again.

 

We are vulnerable to the set piece, but on the other hand, our defence is getting better and better. I think we've only conceded five goals in the last six games, and there's a lot of evidence piling up to suggest that with Matip in there it's much better.

 

Ideally Karius adds another clean sheet and continues to grow in confidence. On the downside obviously he looks a bit unsuited to coming off his line to claim it, but then again, if he gets the defence playing 10 yards higher up and we squeeze the life out of them, then in boxing parlance they may not even be able to lay a glove on us. We might be the equivalent of having a glass jaw, but we are such good boxers that it's all irrelevant because they can't get near us. 

 

I can't see Sturridge starting this one, and he might even be getting further away from the team, as I think I'd rather see Origi come on from the bench before Sturridge. 

 

Let's get back to winning ways and keep the pressure up at the top. We have a good run of games that are all there to be won. We could even go top of the league at some point in the next few weeks, but one game at a time, and all that. 

[halewood pete]

Agree that Ings should get on the pitch at some stage during the game,lets see what he can do.A win is a must to keep the momentum going..

[ZonkoVille77]

We really need a win to keep up the pressure but it could be a bit of a struggle. I'd take a 1 nil victory right now but I'd say it will be a frustrating draw.

[dylstar]

Interesting to see how Karius copes tomorrow with Pulis alehouse tactics. Hope he's up to the task and keeps a clean sheet. I'm quite certain we'll win if we defend the set pieces properly as we have enough quality in the final third to hurt the baggies at home. Early goal would settle everybody down and spoil Pulis's park the bus strategy.

[3 Stacks]

If they come at us and attack then I think we may run into some problems. Every game where we've experienced difficulties, it's been because teams decide to squeeze us early on and stop our build-up before we can get a foothold in the match. Plus the more forward-thinking they are, the more set-piece opportunities they will get.

 

On the other hand, if they decide to sit back for the entire game, then I think we have the quality to eventually get the better of them and West Brom aren't an especially good counter-attacking team as they don't have much pace. An early goal would be just phenomenal and if we do concede it cannot under any circumstances be the first goal of the game.

Saturday?
