Man Utd (H) - Premier League -17/1/21 - 16:30

[Section_31]

Klopp and the lads have built up a tremendous amount of credit, but if we don't put in 110% against these cunts given the circumstances they can get fucked.

Agreed. I was saying if we found ourselves 6 points behind (ie we lose at the weekend with the current demoralised, patchwork team) I'd still be confident of finishing above them if we did somehow get everyone back immediately afterwards. City, on the other hand, are brilliant flat-track bullies, which is why I think they’d be hard to reel in regardless of who we had available.

You’re right.

[Arnaud]

We are not going to lose that game, this team won’t let that happen, if they are weaken at the moment.

 

And the league is still a long way to go. United will have a bad patch at some point too.

 

And the main threat is City, I have no doubts about that.

Our true enemy has yet to reveal himself. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Sounds like Matip and Keita won't make it for this game. *fainting-gif*

 

Not sure how we'll set up at CB. The problem is, if we play Henderson in midfield, we'll be stronger there, and might be able to push them back, which on the face of it is good. However, that means our CBs step up, and with Williams or Philips that's suicide. 

 

On the other hand, we stick Henderson at CB, and have to rely on a midfield of Gini (hitting patchy form), Thiago (just back from injury) and A N Other. Hardly inspiring stuff. Still, given the alternative, I doubt anyone wants to see Utd countering us with Martial or Rashford against Williams in a foot race.

Still maintain our problems are the misfiring front three. If they are on blob, way to go. If they fire blanks like they did against Newcastle, Southampton and a lesser degree, West Brom, it will be a tough 90 minutes.

I can’t fucking stand Keita ...I can accept players missing due to bad injuries but this cunt makes Sturridge look like Phil Neal

[The Golden Eel]

If we do lose this, it'll be the first time I've thought we're not retaining the title. I've no idea what way the result will pan out. The only thing giving me hope is that we have raised our game in the bigger matches this season. However, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we got beat because we've been truly shit since West Brom and if we play like that again, it's impossible to see us winning. Now is the time for us to step up.

What is wrong with him this time?

 

Seems to have gone from slight issue to weeks out.

Not sure what soon is but he’s gone from back soon but not the Villa cup game to still not training so won’t be available for the Utd game

It's not that I hate him, I just think he's a massive let down considering the fee we paid for him. The club needs to shift him on at the end of the season. Cut the losses and bring someone else in who can play. My big fear is that Jurgen will not bite the bullet.

[El Rojo]

Has to be Henderson in defence if Matip isn't fit. Team picks itself in that case.

 

Alisson, TAA, Fabinho, Henderson, Robbo, Thiago, Wijnaldum, Jones, Salah, Firmino, Mane. 

[an tha]

I wouldn't mind Keita being so injury prone if i felt he tried to push on and play when uncomfortable or really looked like he was busting a gut for us when plays/looked devoed when injured...

 

But (and maybe i am reading him wrong and doing him a disservice) he just looks to me as if he is 'norrarsed' generally and that for me is unforgiveable, and totally at odds with our ethos, especially under Klopp.

I hate him not just for the reason he’s never fit & showed in my eyes very little even when he is. But the online fan cult that follows him and makes out every little thing he does is amazing. 
Keita seems to have the Pogba type fans that are more interested in the player than the club he actually plays for. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I was a huge Keita fan when he played in Germany, I have said before he needs shifting now. Easier said than done and the same applies to a few others who have shown or not shown when fit. Never on the pitch, no good to us.

[joe_fishfish]

Was one of Keita's bigger fans on here, but he's done. Basically just dead weight now.

[sir roger]

Annoying that Keita always manages to get the boots on for Guinea even if his leg is hanging off.

If he didn’t it probably would be coming off.

Maybe Milner for Jones.

He's infuriating, has contributed absolutely fuck all since he's been here.

I've seen some twats on social media saying he's our best player and performs at a higher level than the other midfielders when he's fit. 

 

He's not, he is a lazy shithouse and only plays moderately ok against the shitvteams in the league when we are already winning.

Was my only real dilemma. Shows how limited our options are.

I don't know what his issue is but that sounds a bit harsh. You wonder whether his problems are more mental than physical. There's no doubt he's been an absolute flop though and by far our worst signing under Klopp.
