Ffs what a shit starting lineup. 

Well what the fuck do you expect the manager to do exactly? We're playing every 3 or 4 days, he's tried to get 5 subs, he's only allowed a squad of 25, 20 on match days.

 

Maybe you want him to wave a magic wand?

[an tha]

Fucking Leicester have been battered as well, opening door for us, and we've got that fucking team out.

Could this be the worst title defence ever? What the fuck are we doing in training with all these muscle injuries? Add to that the complete mismanagement of the squad going into the season. Fuck me.

 

Not quite.

Just when I persuade myself that the back four will be alright, I get a look at that front three.

 

Fucksake.

 

Mane not even on the bench?

My thoughts exactly!

[Megadrive Man]

At least we've got two goalkeepers on the bench, so we're well covered in that area.

Maybe we wouldn't have a load of injuries, laods more than everybody else - if we hadn't run the same few players into the ground for 3 years because we keep dead wood like Origi, only have 3 senior centre halves etc....

 

It can't all be down to bad luck these injuries we keep getting.

[Bruce Spanner]

When does this shit get null and voided, people are dying etc etc...

[3 Stacks]

There is no real choice but to play Origi in this situation unless people want to see Minamino and Shaqiri pass it to each other sideways in front of the back four all game.

I dont blame the manager, I blame the wankers running the club.

[Fowlers God]

I know Bobby has been shit but we have persisted on playing him into form, he has arguably one of the best performances of his season, scores and then sits on the bench. 
 

I think we should still win but by fuck do we make things difficult for ourselves 

[Guest Francie Brady]

Any chance it’s a 4-4-2 with Milner in front of Trent and Shaq on the left.

Quite. As we've banged on for so long about. I mean the average bellend in the street could see this coming but not professional businessmen and staff at the Club.

Leeds United finished 17th in 1992/93!

 

I think City got relegated as Champions in the 1930's, ask Stringy, he'll know!

Just listen to yourself. Klopp doesnt do big squads. What makes you think we'd have won the stuff we have if he'd had these other squad players who'd played more often and that's before we start talking of who these other players are?

 

You couldnt wait to get Lovren out of the club because he was 'shite.' Deadwood like Origi, what the lad who scored those important goals last season or two? He should have been hoyed out at the end of last season and who brought in? Werner who's pulling up the trees at chelsea but looking very much like Origi?

 

'It cant be down to ba dluck the injuries we're getting'? Did you watch the leicester leeds game with a couple going off with muscle injuries?

[KMD7]

We'll do well to come away with a win with that starting line up, forced though it may be. Win though and we're a point behind United. 

 

5-0 KLOPP OUT

[easytoslip]

Still a win I reckon, Shaqiri finds the net. Got me £10 for the 1-2 again. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Robertson seems to struggle a bit without mane. Still should be enough to beat them.

[Jairzinho]

Going to be tough with that centre back partnership and our three best forwards out but er...please win.

Yeah because it's the easy bulls eye. 25 man squad, no more than 17 home grown players, the world just about fucked with covid but hey, our football club has to carry on as if fuck all is happening.

[YNWAViking]

Had a crazy thought. What about Shaqiri in the Firminho role? He is quite creative and can score a goal. Might be able to do a job there. That will keep Salah on the right and Origi on the left. 

[an tha]

7 first team squad absentees today:

 

VVD

Gomez

Fabinho

Keita

Mane

Jota

Matip

 

That is beyond bad luck.

Adrian on the bench = well covered? No.

 

We may need Kelleher to step in at CB, so Alisson better stay fit.

[Funkasy]

A big blow for any team just missing one of those players, except Keita.

There isn't a club in the league with the injury record of ours this season.....that points to a problem whether you wish to accept that or not.

 

The availability of too many of our squad is way, way below level it should be at....we are carrying too many passengers in our squad and its creates pressure on players who then breakdown...

 

Yes i wanted Lovren gone, but i didn't want him to not be replaced or be 'replaced' by weakening our midfield.

 

As for Origi, he is and has been stealing a fucking living for ages, living off popping up with a couple of big goals.

 

Even taking out the assaults on VVD and Thiago.....there is something wrong.

What, wrong with the manager's training regime, his style of pressing game, opting to have a small nucleus of players he prefers to play, playing every 3 or 4 days after a condensed last season etc?
