Man City (H) - 5:30pm, 31/12/16 - Don't Look Back In Anger.

[Paco]

14 goals in 11 games in Klopp v guardiola.

 

so probably a low scoring liverpool city game for a change.

[magicrat]

I assume Aguero is back and Coutino not ready yet,  

I am not so confident for this one.. Last two games we have been out of it completely for most of the first half . Weaker opponents were unable to press home the advantage however we will get beat if we can't compete for half an hour against City, Essential we score first, 

[liverpoolsno9]

Some might say we have a chance of The League if we can get a win here, D'you know what I mean? It's time for our players to Stand on the shoulders of Giants, they've been All round the World and it's time for them to Be Here Now. Go let it out in the 1st half and really set the tempo and don't let it Fade Away. Reckon it'll be a right Helter Skelter of a game but we could come winners. Little by Little, Klopp is building something here, so let's Roll With It and see where it takes us. The Masterplan should be to use the Supersonic pace of Mane. Don't want Sturridge to start this one, always feel he's Half the World Away when he starts, bring him off the bench for the last 30 or Whatever.

[LFC 6 Times]

We always play really well against City, home and away. I really see nothing that frightens me about them, of course Aguero, De bryune and silva are top class players. But they're coming for a game of football, thank God probably the first team since Arsenal on the opening day to do so against us. Gutted Phil misses out, he usually saves his best for these lot and Matip's injury is very concerning. I think it'll be a great game but can see us having too much for them.

[jimmycase]

I think Mane needs longer studs in his boots, seems to be skidding on the pitch a lot recently.

[Funkasy]

Is Matip another sick note that will miss the best part of every season ?

Hopefully just coming to terms with physicality.

[jimmycase]

He has an ankle problem that I think needs surgery. The club are saying he doesnt (need surgery) but I think they'll be forced to if the problem persists.

[Jairzinho]

Hopefully just coming to terms with physicality.

 

He's been playing in Germany for the last seven years.

I honestly haven't checked but I assume virtually injury free?

He's had a problem with this ankle injury since he signed

[Jairzinho]

I honestly haven't checked but I assume virtually injury free?

 

Er, dunno. My point was more that he won't be new to physicality. He didn't move here from the Brazilian league.

 

*Googles appearances*

 

Looks like he might have had an injury in 2014/15 but last season and the four before 2014/15 he seems to have been largely injury free.

[Funkasy]

lets cross our fingers for him then, if hes going into surgery hes out for the rest of the season ?

Just bad luck yet again for us

[manwiththestick]

He's no Dan Agger, of that I'm certain.

[Paco]

He's been playing in Germany for the last seven years.

So what, he's a bean pole.

[Jairzinho]

So what, he's a bean pole.

thats like comparing dolph lundgren and Chris rock

[AngryOfTuebrook]

No Matip then...he is becoming a concern isn't he.

Some proper fanny's reactions, there.

 

He's had one season in the last 5 where he hasn't managed about 40-odd games.  I'm not about to write him off just because he's got a knock.

to be fair he has missed nearly half our games so far this season with what appears to be an ongoing problem...

Funkasy's called a priest to perform the last rites over him.

A player's injury history is a thing that can be checked on the internet. You'll find your answer there.

[alles ist gut]

I'll let you know after Saturday if Aguero was sharp or full of Christmas pud!

 

Could you not ask your boss ahead of time?

I believe the appropriate sexist rejoinder is "hysterical fannies". Get it right.
