I’ve just realised I’ve reached the point in the season where I suddenly stop believing we’re as good as we are, and suddenly start thinking teams like Arsenal are much better than they actually are

 

neither is true. We’re boss, they’re shit

They lost the first 3 games of the season, one was Brentford away when a few of the squad had Covid and then lost to Chelsea and City. Since then they have 51 points in the past 23 league games. That's 2.21 ppg.

 

To put that into context, we have 2.35 ppg this season. 

 

They aren't shit unfortunately. They have all but the right back fit so this should be a tough game.

 

On the plus side, their style of play does suit us, so hopefully we pick them off as they try to play through our press.  

 

Shitting it

Oh Piglet of Prophecy, soothsayer to the Gods, hear your devoted servants and grant us your foresight. Will we defeat Arsenal tonight?

Silly boy. That ended in December, remember.

My mind isn't what it was.

[KMD7]

 Bricking it. 

[alles ist gut]

Hopefully the full backs will be okay.

[Boss]

Hoping for a performance like Leicester away, when they thought they were in a title race with us and we just swatted them aside with consummate ease. 

[Edward.]

Salah on the bench.

 

[Bjornebye]

Glad Thiago is ok for this. Hopefully Jota finds his form quick. Chance for Sadio to shine as well. 

[ManéMan]

Not convinced we'll win tonight...draw is no good. We'll need to take the first chance we get to settle nerves, so I'm hoping Jota starts as he's usually clinical.

[3 Stacks]

Salah downing tools. 

[Boss]

Salah on the bench...

 

[niallers]

I am surprised that salah is only in the bench. Klopp knows what he's doing and we beat them there in Jan without salah and mane and no Diaz either. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Looking forward to seeing that front three together. Should have ample opportunity for them to rotate in-game. Wonder how they'll line up initially.

I’m hearing Klopp didn’t even write Mo’s name on the subs list. He just put some crying with laughter emojis in his place.

What a load of crap, three shots thats hit the post/bar the last two games and one goal. 

[suzy]

Oh good Souness is on

[dockers_strike]

He, Mo, isnt 100% fit. Cue people saying he shouldnt be on the bench in that case but he's probably going to be rested in the cup and Jurgen considers he can put him on for 30-45 minutes of the 2nd half if the need is there.

If we beat Arsenal in this key game without him, that's an incredible power play.  

Will Arsenal be bouyed by the absence of his name on the teamsheet though?  Maybe, but maybe that overconfidence could be their undoing.  The front three of Jota-Mane-Diaz is deadly, clever, and hard-working.

My first thought, think there was an element of mind games in Jurgen's presser.

Fair call, for me.  He's needed a rest and has been too selfish, on and off the pitch.

 

Any fule kno that nobody is bigger than the club.

 

Ballsy from Klopp, but I like and admire big balls.
