The fact Carvalho can't keep Ox out the side tells you how far away he is. He really should ha e gone out on loan this year, but then that would have required not having so many injury prone players and actual investment in tbe squad

Keita unable to get in ahead of a kid who isn't really a midfielder and is learning job on the fly is damning about Keita too - a lot of our supposed depth is non existent really because Klopp just does not trust it.....and as a result we end up overplaying players and or ending up shoehorning players into positions they are not best suited to.

[J-V]

We should just stick Tsimikas on the wing.  Offers far more than OX even if he had both legs amputated.

 

I expect Ox to score tonight, now.

Fucking malingerer

If its true Toney is out that's at least some good news.

Yeah would be the worst thing to try. At least he'd keep some width.

We often seem to play without anyone in the full back positions so aye why not....

Looked like he was Fri night

If we can scramble through this, then at least we will have some more options in midfield going forward, with Jones and Keita there or thereabouts. Hopefully Bobby not too far away. 

[stringvest]

If we get done with the ball over the head of the FB again, it will be a bit of a disappointment. 

[Lurtz]

Just a wild stab in the dark here but I'm going to say AOC and Elliott will be poor and get subbed. 

[George Costanza]

slowest midfield ever so we really need to keep the ball better than we have been doing.  Would also be terrific if we didn't concede a stupid early goal as well.  Hoping Nunez has his shooting boots on and can get a goal or two too boost his confidence.

It’s probably pre-planned that Keita will be on for Elliott on 60, managing minutes and all that. Curtis on did Ox around the same time ( because Ox has been anonymous again 

[sir roger]

Seems crazy to second-guess Jurgen and all of his support and stats, but I am not sure what exactly he is seeing to make Harvey the only ever-present this season. He offers barely anything other than effort at the moment.

We've had the forwards decimated by injuries...Midfield is always carrying casualties.

 

Must be time for defence to be decimated now.... Robbo on Fri, expect one tonight....

Hendo with a concussion......unless he got it out on NYE down Concert Sq you have to wonder what goes on in our training sessions!

He was probably in the car park and got twatted by a darwin shot.

Reasons I'm feeling shit today.

 

I'm now off the ale.

 

Spent most of the day putting deccies in the loft and general tidying up.

 

Blue bin is full to fuck and not collected until Friday.

 

Back in work tomorrow.

 

Potential banana skin game coming up.

 

However all the above is cast aside as we get to see more of Darwin.

[DaveT]

I think I can run faster than that midfield trio…. and I hung up my boots 25 years ago.

[an tha]

These like to have a go don't they and even for all the talk about how they can outpace us, outmuscle us and outwork us etc and even with passengers like Oxlade in side, we still have more quality than them.....and them having a go will suit us.

 

So i'm going 3-1 the redmen with a few dodgy moments as usual and some questionable game management, but ultimately our extra quality to tell.

[Scott_M]

I know we have a few high profile attackers injured, our options to change the game from the bench tonight are dreadful.

 

We don't need Gomez, Phillips and Matip, we'd have been better throwing a Hail Mary with Doak.

3 centre halves on bench says it all...

But it has been same all season - too many injuries and seemingly 1 or 2  new every game.

 

Too much dead wood being asked to contribute - oxlade playing in front 3 ffs...

 

Adding to squad as we have with Gakpo is so desperately needed.

Interesting take.

 

And by "interesting" I mean "batshit and 100% wrong".

Unbelievably stressful situation that doesn’t get many headlines.

Yep. It’s not like we don’t know that it might be a ploy today.
