No I was being serious. Just fancied smiling

Lallana instead of Ox for me. So much better on the ball, but apart from that, happy with that team.

When in form & fully match fit yeah but that’s not the case right now though I’d debate.

Bristol City given me hope with a good brand of passing football often catching out City's porous midfield and dodgy defence. As I commented in the City thread, if Bristol had tricky forwards like us they'd have demolished that City team.

VvD playing for us is like Kompany for them or Alderweirald for Tottenham. That's how big a difference he makes. Hopefully, news of his bestie Keita possibly coming will cheer Mane up further and he'll have a point to prove after getting sent off in the last game.

As for City, Sane looks like his purple patch is over, Sterling and KdB look absolutely knackered and their backline has Otamendi returning - which is not a good thing for them. However, they will have a fresh David Silva, Fernandinho and Aguero which is a worry.

Bravo
Stones Mangala Shinchenko
Bernado Silva Sterling Gundogan KdB Sane

are the ones I remember. Walker and Aguero came on for 20-25 minutes so wouldn't have got tired. KdB, Sterling and Sane were not subbed off at all because of the 1-1 scoreline up until the 90th minute.

[Fernandinho]

Either or for me. Happy with both of them to be honest.

I think it makes sense to start Gomez to ensure our solid defensive line and then bring on TAA if we are chasing the game. Especially considering the only other attacking changes we can realistically make are AOC for Lallana and Sturridge maybe for one of the attacking 3. Then if we go ahead we can easily bring on TAA for an attacker and go 5 at the back with Gomez moving to RCB.

We do look better defensively with Gomez starting as TAA loves to get forward which leaves us open to a fast break so yeah I agree.

I'm going to this! The last time i was at Anfield, we beat Watford 6-1, i'm hoping to see the something similar

[Rigadon]

I think we’ll get a thumping. However, I’m optimistic that we’ll be competitive against the other Prem teams and, hopefully, get second place.

Really? I doubt that tbh. A draw at worst I’d tip but I’m suggesting we can win this.

[Buzzo]

Yeah, our home record is really good. Don’t see us losing. Think we will sneak a win.

[Liverpool]

We need to do them and **** up their unbeaten league run. Don't forget we've definitely got something over them at Anfield in recent years

Bristol City given me hope

There's a sentence you don't see every day.
