verlaine1979 Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 I'd say he was at least as good as ours. If he's dreadful, he's had some randomly very good games against us in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 Does it really matter who's in goal for Liverpool, I mean, come on, the other 10 players they have are just going to rip us apart and their keeper will rarely touch the ball. BTW, I'm trying to temp fate, it's the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 Kill them with pace. 4-2-2-2 counter attacking. Gunn Valery Yoshida Danso Bertrand Hojbjerg Romeu Djenepo Redmond Long Adams I've gone for a Liverpool win in this one but in a close high-scoring game. Ings for Long (subs bench) and Boufal on with time to influence the game would be my changes to that side. Ralph won't drop Ward-Prowse though and he may consider Danso and Djenepo not ready. Nothing to lose though is there - in taking them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 14 August, 2019 Share Posted 14 August, 2019 Even with tomorrow's long travel and distraction they will still be too good for us. They will be but how many will be rested anyway? Can't see them particularly fearing Chelsea or even putting too much emphasis on this fixture. They'll probably see it as a bit of warm-weather training. Need to see an improvement Saturday and then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 14 August, 2019 Share Posted 14 August, 2019 The fact he was released by West Ham suggest he isn't. He is worse than Mignolet IMO and easily worse than Gunn or McCarthy. But we have to actually trouble him which is the real issue which means possession near their goal and getting past Van Dijk. West Ham fans pretty much all thought Darren Randolph was better than Adrian - says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamberwellSaint Posted 14 August, 2019 Share Posted 14 August, 2019 Even a hint of some spine and nerve would be an improvement on last week, even if we still get beat by a goal or 3. If you're going to play 3 at the back they've got to be mobile and organised- surely this means Yoshida in with Bednarek, and I'd give Vestergaard another chance as Stephens has already had several too many. Liverpool are the kind of team that we should do well against in a 4-2-2-2, except they're a far-too-good version of that. Maybe this: Gunn Valery-Yoshida-Bednarek-Bertrand Hojbjerg-Romeu WardProwse- Boufal/Djenepo Adams- Redmond Looks skilled but lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnet Posted 15 August, 2019 Share Posted 15 August, 2019 Gunn Valery Bednarek Yoshida Bertrand JWP Romeu Hojbjerg Boufal Adams Redmond Liverpool like to attack though the middle with little one twos so 3 in midfield will make them push the ball out to the wings where Valery and Betrand can play a more defensive role against Arnold and Robertson. Liverpool were playing a very high line last night so we need pace upfront to spring the offside trap so drop Ings for Boufal, I would say Djenepo but not sue he's had enough time with the team yet. I would target Arnold as he has looked a little shaky this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that after the women's world cup they decided keepers' movement at penalties would not be a matter for VAR. And the ref gave the Abraham penalty. The cynic in me wonders whether they didn't want to undermine the first all-female officials team. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
