It's not as if they haven't been on holiday last couple months!!!! If we play a back 4 then we will be playing right into Liverpool's hands. Leaving two centre backs exposed too mane/Salah/Jota (firmino/Diaz) is just mental when our fullbacks are too far upfield to recover their positions. Has to be 5-4-1 for me. Midfield has to offering some protection. Forster KWP Perraud Stephens (at least he tries) Salisu Lyanco Romeu JWP Stu Redmond Adams Personally i think it's crazy to play 5 at the back vs liverpool as shown last time we played them and tried that. That's playing into their hands, to me 4-5-1 makes much more sense as you congest the area of the pitch they want to play in. If you don't want your fullbacks to bomb forward, tell them not to bomb forward as much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorchester Saint Posted 12 May, 2022 Share Posted 12 May, 2022 There will be zero pressure on us for this game, it might all be on Liverpool. They should go out there and give 300% and batter the bin dipping fuckers and make them all cry by denying them the title. Kick them all over the park, biting, elbows the lot. We’ll get smashed at least 5-0. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise picks itself in this formation. If we do change formation I would go 4-3-3 and stuck Armstrong in the middle and go with Tella and Redmond either side of Adams. We rarely do well with 3 CBs, why pick one more than we need as 3 of them are poor and the other out of form? We rarely do well with two up front either….. Which actually equates to 5 at least most of the time.. No midfield equals crap football…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 14 May, 2022 Share Posted 14 May, 2022 10 days rest VS 3 days after extra time on a warm afternoon. And still - somehow - they'll have more energy and intensity than us come Tuesday. I'm not saying there's something dodgy going on at Liverpool, but their ability to press for nigh on 90 minutes every game for 60+ games per season is certainly in stark contrast to every other team in Europe. We can barely keep it going for 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 14 May, 2022 Share Posted 14 May, 2022 I was bored during the match. Liverpool will play 62 matches this season, that's three more than we played in 2009-10, but we didn't have £40m players making up our bench. As said before, Klopp would combust with the Football Leagues scheduling, a 46 match league season and midweek matches that matter every week, unlike the early Cup rounds when they were playing their reserve squad and the dead rubber Champions League matches. If the Premier League adopted the Easter Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday matches we'd never hear the end of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 15 May, 2022 Share Posted 15 May, 2022 They have far too many good players despite them being exhausted. That nippy winger that won man of the match in the cup final will tear our defender a new arsehole. Their midfield will bypass us every time while they have a very solid defence. If you do get a sniff it has to be a peach of a shot as the keeper is quality. Lets look at the Saints team that have just had a short break. Where have they been for 5 days?

Toussaint Posted 15 May, 2022 Share Posted 15 May, 2022 One thing that gives me hope is Saints are always excellent after a week off. If they are anything like me they’ll have put on a stone in their holidays, so they should have adequate fat reserves to bolster their stamina. im not sure of the formation and selection for this one, but Ralph has had a long time to consider his damage limitation strategy, which historically has proved invaluable. So I expect to see 11 players, some of whom will be chasing shadows whilst others will try to make themselves invisible. The score will be whatever Liverpool decide to settle for. nb . those readers sensitive to cynicism and sarcasm should not read the above text.
