No Insua?

...it's his week off.

[S-RED]

For Spuds - Atkinson, Friend & Moss...... dear god only needed Cootes name to appear for a full house

[SB]

If we can’t win this to title chase is over imo. Our strike force is under pressure like seldom before & I don’t know what the answer is. I hope we put the demons to bed & smash this lot but I’d take a 1-0 win at present.

[SB]

I’ll tip a 3-0 win if anyone cares

Mo Sadio & Gini

you watch the burnley players try the Rhodri offside **** tonight..... wonder what the officials would do if there is a repeat?

According to the rule book, it was a correct decision. It follows the answer is there'll do nothing.

You actually think Burnley will commit to having a player in front of the ball, let alone behind our defence?

I am dreading this

Yeah, we're easy prey at the moment. Not sure what the issue is but it's not fatigue. I'd have Shaqiri in in a heartbeat, the guy looks unbreakable when it comes to his mental state. A lot of the other lads look a bit forlorn - TAA, Gini, Salah, Firmino and Hendo. Can't remember the last time I've seen us so broken as a team on the pitch, there's little to no passion out there at the moment

If Matip plays, I would like us to go with Matip/Philips at the back. Burnley are a nightmare for set pieces and Philips is good in the air. It would let us have that midfield of Fab/Thiago and Hendo. We need to get mins into Shaq and Ox too. Burnley are going to do exactly what teams have done against us in recent weeks so we do need as much craft going forward as we can, whether or not Klopp will give Shaq back to back starts is a different story but he can provide that. With Fab and Hendo in the midfield, at least it would push us forward as a team and gets us higher up the pitch. Anything but 3 points is a disaster tonight.

Good shout, I'm on board with Matip/Phillips and Fab back into midfield for this one.

Our form says we are struggling, Burnley's form says their games are usually tight games in terms of score, so logic says a turgid dull tight game.

So based on that I think we are going to score three or four and tomorrow we can all go "We're back mofos!!!!"

Same. Anything but a win here and any lingering hope of retaining our title is almost gone I fear

If we do get the win though then I fancy us to beat Tottenham too

[vlahka]

Hopefully will be better than the last half dozen games. Otherwise I'll be skipping all games that play between 2-5am for me and just catching the highlights.
