Liverpool vs Leicester City - Premier League (19/20 - Game 8)

[Mr Pink]

I think this fixture last year stands out as one that cost us the league (if forced to be critical of the season). City had just lost to Newcastle and we left them off the hook, 1 day later.

Hope we smash them, this time round. As well as 8 wins from 8, it will be 4 points picked up that we dropped last year (along with the Chelsea game), 0 points dropped in Ali’s absence, 1 game away from city’s wins record, 8 points ahead before they play... [emoji97][emoji97][emoji97]

I have a rather bad feeling about this game, we are not performing as well as we can and Leicester are in top form, at some point we are going to drop points and I reckon it will be tomorrow, can see a score draw.

If things "even themselves out" then boy are we in for some favourable officiating decisions as last time we played them should have been seen as one of the biggest scandals in English football history.

Stonewall penalty for Keita turned down which may have given us three points and possibly the league. The two extra points would have won us us the league if the following results played like they did but more importantly it gave City hope. After they beat us at the turn of the year, we had responded by winning the next two on the bounce. If we had been able to hold onto our lead for longer, City may have lost some of their focus.

Still our inability to get penalties in the league in front of the Kop continues, I doubt anything will change tomorrow.

Leicester have been good this season but prefer when teams come onto them so they can hit them on the counter. That's why the struggled against Utd, Utd hit them early and sat back and played on the counter, negating Leicester. We need to show patience and don't leave ourselves too exposed at the back.

Matip is a loss but Gomez now has two, recent full games under his belt and hopefully will be better for it. His pace will also be an asset against Vardy. I hope that Naby starts and gets the goal he was denied last year.

Gomez was playing at a really high level last year, I think he'll get there again, just needs the minutes, hope he plays.

Yep, it was an absolute joke, Maguire should have walked but naturally didn't and went on to equalise when way more stoppage time than advertised was played, I know it's a "minimum of" but still pretty annoying, Mane was through and had a simple pass for 2-0 but was wrongly called offside. The pen shout on Naby like you said, was ridiculous and the same referee let Aguero handball it in to the goal v Arsenal a few days later. I want these battered tomorrow, it wasn't really Leicester's fault and won't bring back the title we were cheated out of but still, get them them belted.

And yeah it's also exceptionally annoying we can barely get a pen while that Milivojevic who plays for a team who barely leave their own half has taken about 20 in the last 2 years

Has to be Lovren for me, but like you I don't have a great feeling about this one.

Would hate it if the ego that is Brendan Rodgers was the one to bring our run to an end.

Good read, thanks.

I'd get Alisson straight back in if he's ready, probably be a bit rusty but as well as Adrian has done Godlisson is better in every department and it's hardly as if Adrian is error free, he has a moment in every game.

Hmmm, I wonder if whether he plays will impact whether he goes on international duty. Like if we play him tomorrow, would be cheeky to tell Brazil to fock off, that he’s not fit.

If it was mignolet/karius in goal I’d be all for getting Allison back as soon as possible. I agree that Adrian has had moments in most games, but he has done an awesome job, so I’d say don’t rush Allison back. If last night is anything to go by, United should be a nice handy game to ease him back in!!

That's ok, I'm stepping out

That's a shame, your build up threads were really good

I'll miss you too bud.

You can check out any time you like, Fbloke, but you can never leave (match threads undone)!

Leicester to score 3 and get 7 corners looks tasty at 90/1 with Trent/Gomez.

Leicester to Score in Both Halves & Leicester 4+ Corners Each Half 200/1

Will be able to drown my sorrows if we get done at least.

Was thinking the same. Drew against Leicester, West Ham and Utd in quick succession. It cost us the league.

Biggest worry is Vardy. We will push up high and he will make some good runs. We will need our shooting boots on to outscore them. Sense a 3-2 or 4-3 possibly not in our favour.
