Liverpool vs Man Utd - Premier League (20/21 - Game 18)

[Fredo]

This is what I’m pinning my hopes on



I said is vs Saints - it shows Klopp has zero faith in Nat and Rhys yet we will play the remainder of the season with them because it seems unlikely we bring in another CB. We rolled the dice in the summer not replacing Dejan - I can understand accepting that risk because we bought well and VVD was seemingly indestructible. Now we need to sort it out - Fab/Hendo as a CB pairing because Matip ain’t playing two games a week means we might regret sitting in our hands

It is what it is mate. It would have been a decision to get a centre back in the summer and not Jota for example as I don’t think we would have gone for both.

I agree - the risk was acceptable given previous history and we needed cover for Robbo + competition for the front 3. Thiago was a must buy - arguably the best midfielder in the world wanting to join you have to make it happen.

We have been bitten and much worse than we could possibly imagine - I just think if Hendo and Fab play a lot of games together and we have the opportunity to remedy that now then we should

Not been this nervous about a game for ages to be honest.

Thiagos home debut? He’s going to run the show

[Buzzo]

Good to have something different to stress about for the next few hours

[Fredo]

I hate these games. Hate the build up and all the **** around it. Let’s get this over win or lose

[danperkins]

Two Cms at Cb and a midfield that not only hasn't played with each other before, Thiago and Shaq are lacking minutes. Interesting game ahead. Can see both sides scoring anyways.

[Rich]

Got to worry with that CB pairing.

We need to go after them from the first whistle

It’s because of this that it feels so good to win them. We were just on the wrong side of it for so many years. Don’t want to return to having to face up to defeat from them.

City rolled them over fairly easily a few weeks ago, so that’s some cause for optimism.

Looks a lot more rigorous Covid wise on the way into the stadium.

Off the back of a dominant Dias and Stones display - two natural CBs

Fab and Hendo are dominant usually in midfield, so they’ll just have to do the same in defence.

[BootRoom]

Attack will be the best form of defence in this game. Will be critical for the forwards not to squander possession cheaply (Bobby, Salah) in advanced positions when there's a chance to put a player through. Even against teams that have parked the bus we've had opportunities to put a telling final ball in but they've just been wasted.

[Ams12]

Holy crap am getting anxious now! Just hope we’ve ironed out our poor shooting of late over the longer preparation time we’ve had from this! Thiago will help creating chances and we should be practicing our long shots from midfield as unless it’s one touch pass, move & shoot in their box where there’ll be little space we are gonna need some screamers!

Also happy with Hendo at CB if we are having majority of possession. He’s got better recovery pace to get back and they should have worked as a CB pairing in training sessions to be more coherent together!

Come on LIVERPOOL!!!

Who that's guy they're all getting autographs off. He must be really famous.

The ref is averaging 4 yellows per match. Thinking of putting Fred and Shaq in my betbuilder. Any thoughts?
