Stoke Home - Sat 28/4

[Captain]

No resting players, we field a strong team.

 

We had a margin of error, unfortunately it was wasted against West Brom.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Karius

 

Gomez

Klavan

VVD

Moreno

 

Henderson

Wijnaldum

TAA

 

Ings

Firmino

Salah.

 

Formation uncertain. Either 4-3-3 or 3-4-3.

[ZonkoVille77]

Just fucking win.

That's all.

Just win.

[Strontium]

I worry about putting our players on a field with cloggers like Shawcross and Adam a few days before a crucial European match.

[Allan]

Karius

 

Gomez

Klavan

VVD

Moreno

 

Henderson

Wijnaldum

TAA

 

Ings

Firmino

Salah.

 

Formation uncertain. Either 4-3-3 or 3-4-3.

 

That the team doing the rounds, or just what you'd pick?

 

I can't see it being far off that myself anyway.

I got it from my mate who's normally quite accurate.

[mgw100]

Looks like 3 at the back - not a bad shout

[dockers_strike]

Trent in midfield not sure. I think if he is playing him he would play him at RB instead of Gomez myself and even that depends if Clyne is not available. Could see Woodburn potentially playing myself.

It looks like Trent at Wing Back to me alongside Moreno

[johnsusername]

Is clyne injured??

[therevivalist]

Of more concern at this stage is, of course, the risk of injury than tiredness. A choice between getting into the next European cup tournament and winning the current one we're so close to. Not much of a choice, is it? We just have to field our best fit available and pray they come through safe. That's all we can do. As for our owners and Klopp, no better opportunity to see our threadbare squad vis a vis those of our top four/six rivals and get more quality in.  

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Just beat the fuckers and don't get injured.

 

This is all I ask.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

An absolute must win game. Ings and solanke start we may aswell not turn up at all.

Not an "absolute must win".

 

If it were, you'd start your strongest 11 and to Hell with the rest of the season.

5-2-1-2 defend or 3-4-1-2 attack

[sir roger]

Is Clyde injured again ?

[manwiththestick]

Is Clyde injured again ?

Over stretched his arm on a right turn.

If we fail to qualify for the Champions League, because we were trying to win the champions league, I think we have to give it up to the football God's.

 

I mean that is proper irony, on a level that you have to applaud.

[Anny Road]

Not arsed about top four for a chance to play in the CL next year. Not when we are two games from winning it this year.

Even if we lose we have to prioritise it.

I am with you.

 

We should rest as many players as possible.

 

We have Brighton at home on the last day, they are safe and they will not give a fuck. Even if they did, our home record is such that it is worth the 1/14 gamble.

 

I mean Roma are good, and we can't be rolling into the olmpico thinking that we are home and dry.

[Anny Road]

Even if we qualify it may be a decade before we are where we are again. Ask Arsenal fans what they would do.

[Kevin D]

I am with you, Anny.

 

 

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "

 

We need to know, in my view.

[Chip Butty]

I hope we get beat today so we can focus on getting beat on Wednesday. 

 

 

 

Malaise, Malaise, Malaise!

[aRdja]

Three points please.

[VladimirIlyich]

Lambert won here on his last visit with Wolves so the omens are bad,I tells thee. I hope we out Stoke them and launch long balls to Solanke and he scores with a lucky deflection off Shawcross. We then spend the rest of the game committing fouls and feigning injury to run the clock down.
