Pass the Dutchie Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Our fixtures during the Africa Cup of Nations: Liverpool (h) Burnley (a) Leicester City (h) Liverpool (a) Swansea (a) West Ham (h) We'll miss Boufal (Morocco) for at least the first Liverpool match, the Burnley match and the Leicester City match, and possibly for all of them. Liverpool will miss Mané (Senegal) for the first match and possibly for the second. Burnley is unaffected. Leicester City will miss Amartey (Ghana), Mahrez (Algeria) and Slimani (Algeria). Swansea is unaffected. West Ham will possibly miss Kouyaté (Senegal) and Ayew (Ghana) if they progress to the semi-finals. Based purely on that, we'll want Morocco to do badly and Senegal and Ghana to reach at least the semi-finals. Who will you support (if anyone)?

Batman Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Just hope Boufal does not get Malaria or taken hostage
SuperSAINT Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Just hope Boufal does not get Malaria or taken hostage I hope he smuggles Ziyech through customs for us.
Pass the Dutchie Posted 4 January, 2017 Author Posted 4 January, 2017 Ziyech wasn't selected. Lucky Ajax!
USA SaintsFan Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Someone was on social media claiming that Boufal picked up an injury recently, according to BBC they claim. No word from the club and can't seem to find a link however.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Someone was on social media claiming that Boufal picked up an injury recently, according to BBC they claim. No word from the club and can't seem to find a link however. Saw it earlier that they're assessing his fitness due to a knock....hopefully he gets an injury which will keep him out 2 weeks and back for Leicester !
Convict Colony Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 (edited) Ziyech wasn't selected. Lucky Ajax! Double post Edited 4 January, 2017 by Convict Colony
Convict Colony Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Ziyech wasn't selected. Lucky Ajax! I know I couldn't believe it, at least I'll get to watch him on the 29th v Den haag Will be supporting Morrocco for sure but hope they get knocked out.
CityRanger Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if we are pressuring him to get a sick note considering our current situation.
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Saw it earlier that they're assessing his fitness due to a knock....hopefully he gets an injury which will keep him out 2 weeks and back for Leicester ! I'm quite happy for him to continue his fine form and get let down by the rest of his team, he's been looking better and better in recent games, going past people with such ease.
danjosaint Posted 4 January, 2017 Posted 4 January, 2017 Liverpool have Matip (Cameroon) but he's apparently refusing to go. Apparently fifa are trying to ban him from domestic games if he doesn't go
whelk Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 (edited) Boufal not going to afcon apparently How come? Just looked on Twitter. Good news then if injury isn't too serious. Edited 8 January, 2017 by whelk
stevy777_x Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Injured. Hope it isn't too serious and he can come back before the end of January. If so that is a boost for us.
davefizzy14 Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 How come? Just looked on Twitter. Good news then if injury isn't too serious. Which twitter site was that? That's good news I true & hopefully injury isn't too serious
whelk Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 It might be fake news. Just searched his name and a few Morrocan supporters (assumption made) saying team doc sent him back. Would have imagined heard something further by now. Trump won the popular vote as well
Nordic Saint Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Boufal not going to afcon apparently He's only every played for Morocco twice in his career (home and away against the Cape Verde Islands in March last year), so they shouldn't be too bothered about him not going.
Pamplemousse Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Search for 'Boufal blessé' on twitter (Boufal injured in French) and you'll see how upset the Moroccan supporters are. They're not happy. One of them thinks this is a conspiracy and wants FIFA to punish us.
.comsaint Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Boufal arrived in the UAE yesterday and was assessed by the Moroccan physio. It appears that Boufal isn't fit and it's a recurrence of an injury he picked up playing for us recently. He's already back in England. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://nieuws.marokko.nl/sofiane%2Bboufal/s/113662f951a98a8810604f7af25aa383/&prev=search
Monk Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Search for 'Boufal blessé' on twitter (Boufal injured in French) and you'll see how upset the Moroccan supporters are. They're not happy. One of them thinks this is a conspiracy and wants FIFA to punish us. So do I! Oh well
Dark Munster Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Hopefully he'll be fit for the first leg on Wednesday.
CityRanger Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if we are pressuring him to get a sick note considering our current situation. What do you know, eh?
stevy777_x Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 Hopefully he'll be fit for the first leg on Wednesday. Injured 3-4 weeks
GGalpin Posted 8 January, 2017 Posted 8 January, 2017 https://sport.sfr.fr/football/can/blesse-boufal-forfait-pour-la-can.html
Pass the Dutchie Posted 11 January, 2017 Author Posted 11 January, 2017 I really hope Senegal will do well. We can really do without Mané for the second game as well.
whelk Posted 11 January, 2017 Posted 11 January, 2017 I really hope Senegal will do well. We can really do without Mané for the second game as well. Irrelevant. They play on 23rd. He ain't going to make it back for the 25th
Lets B Avenue Posted 15 January, 2017 Posted 15 January, 2017 Costa Nhamoinesu, the left back that scored the winner for Sparta Prague against us, was playing for Zimbabwe. They got a credible 2-2 draw against Algeria. Mahrez scored both for Algeria. Glad he's missing the Leicester game.
Lets B Avenue Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Mane missed the 5th penalty in the shoot out. They lost 5-4 to Cameroon. It was a **** penalty. The other 9 were great. At least he can come back to Scouseland, as they've missed him so much!
John Boy Saint Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 Mane missed the 5th penalty in the shoot out. They lost 5-4 to Cameroon. It was a **** penalty. The other 9 were great. At least he can come back to Scouseland, as they've missed him so much! Be interesting if he comes back and Liverpool get going again, how many if the fatter cats than Liverpool will come sniffing around for him this summer
