Fabinho

[Fosterbloke]

Brilliant.

I reckon he will be on the bench at Utd. Milner, Hendo & Gini to start as Klopp goes for his tried and tested but ultimately dull trio. Hope to hell I'm wrong.

Nah not a chance, we want our best players in midfield. Henderson to miss out I reckon.

Man Utd - Plays
Watford - Rested
Everton - Plays
Burnley - Rested
Bayern - Plays

Hendo Fab Gini in midfield v Utd for me.

If only we had some kind of match thread to discuss?

I'd rather him than Matip alongside VVD at the moment. Matip looked very ponderous and always wanted to pass it back to Alisson

[Slinky Skills]

Matip is ****e mate, another one that needs binning.

[McDermotX]

Does take a while to get a ball under control. Matip that is. Not an ideal quality in a player when playing 'act the bollocks with Alisson', especially when the big man isn't there to calm things the **** down.
Few moments in the first half when I was closing me eyes, but settled into it then when Bayern set up shop on the halfway line.

Matip wasn't **** but it's undeniable that he invited pressure and moved the ball in to danger areas on a number of occasions

As did quite a few of our players.

I thought he played well, continuing a decent run of form. I certainly wouldn't be dropping him any time soon, at least not until his next injury in a few weeks.

i particularly doubt the wisdom of playing the ball to either full back when they are as far back as the centre backs and also being pressured by opposition advanced midfielders or full backs.
it creates panic and puts the other team on the front foot, exactly the sort of piss poor play that triggers our team press...
