This way of listing the team annoys me far more than is reasonable.

 

Either put them in numerical order, in which case Kelleher would be 8th on the list, or - preferably - do it by position.

 

Whoever came up with this cockamamie system should be publicly flogged.

Cockaamamie - nice reference to Clint Eastwood in In the Line of Fire. Classic film that.

Fucking mad isn't it.

 

How Nunez is not fit though i'll never know he looked like he could run olympic steeplechase on sunday.

 

I think our medical department have a maximalist player welfare emphasis. Even Klopp suggested that recently when he said that he couldn't understand why Bajectic can't play. 

 

There are some benefits to making sure a player is entirely pain free and there's nothing left on the scan, longer careers, less pain in later life etc but if trends continue we might have to start thinking - if he can run he can play.

Given the amount of re-injuries of late as much as i tend to agree with your take you wouldn't think it was so.

The fucking forest game will be a fucking nightmare if we don’t get a few back. What’s it now Salah, Jota, Nunez, Szobo, Thiago, Endo, Gravenberch, Jones, Matip, Bajcetic, Robbo, Alisson and Trent.

 

13 first teamers. For fuck sake.

Who is Nallo ?

You'd think if they were likely gonna be fit that they'd be on bench and maybe get a few mins in legs ahead of weekend.

 

It does bot bode well IMO that none of them are on bench here.

Im clutching straws but i think we are keeping our powder dry i expect a few players back for Forrest

[Boz]

Come on you mighty redmen let's fucking do this!!!!

I like that Southampton kit.

[3 Stacks]

Gomez in midfield is a fun attraction.

[Bjornebye]

3 offsides in 3 minutes 

[Bjornebye]

Wake up ffs 

[Wezza]

A bit open for my liking 

[Megadrive Man]

Not started well. Understandably the team looks low on energy.

[TD_LFC]

Doing too much with the ball and not getting it under control, need someone to put their foot on it and slow it down a bit when we regain possession.

[Lee909]

Awful so far

 

not a surprise really.

 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

This isn't going to be an enjoyable evening.

[3 Stacks]

Tsimikas has been awful.

[Strontium]

Missing a bit of steel in the middle.

TV companies rubbing their hands together ready to fight over a Liverpool v Utd fixture and end up with Southampton v Forest.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Joe gomez with a range finder, give it a couple of more years he might actually test a keeper.
