Liverpool 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Dman]

New manager bounce. Last game before World Cup. Rocket up the arse.
 

we need to be really agressive and committed, see how much they fancy it with the World Cup the following week, especially as not many (if any) of ours will be going. 
 

343 for me. 

either keeper, both are shit.

Can’t expect anything here, more of a case of Jones assessing players. In that sense could be an interesting line up, set up and game. Hope Selles is in the dugout as well as the new boys as seems a good man. Would be wonderful to get a draw in this before the WC. 

[Toadhall Saint]

Just keep it respectable please 🙏

The 'Ralph Out' cult promised us a new manager bounce ( ) so looking forward to this one. 2-1 to Saints

I'm going to this but my tickets are severely restricted in row 34, anyone have a clue what that'll look like? Regardless, can't wait for this new era and it's a free hit in Liverpool away.

Just as an aside, I will vent my frustrations again that we only took an allocation of 1,829 for this when I know we could have definitely sold 3,000.

I wonder if he will try to implement a 442 diamond straight away, or if he plays it cautious and sticks with a 4222? 

I'd personally play anyone who won't be going to the world cup, so drop Salisu as I think he will be playing for Ghana

That's a massive sweeping generalisation, I am glad to see the eback of Ralph, I don't think anyone is expecting a bounce, just arresting the decline is sufficient, and grinding out enough points to keep us up.

[tunit]

Lyanco with the 95th minute winner, descents into chaos with him jumping into the away and and Jones starts scrapping Klopp

New manager bounce, 3-1 win for saints.

You do know that bounces are not jet propelled?

id be ok with a draw - now that would be a bounce.

[AlexLaw76]

Just get this out the way.

At the back the roof obscures the view of anything in the air, there are a few seats up there which are pretty bad but people generally shuffle across or squeeze in somewhere else so they can see better.

[saintwbu]

Most of their team will hopefully be in protection mode for the World Cup, whereas most of ours won’t be. Equally they’re still playing pretty poorly. I reckon we’ll go with a 5 at the back, pack the midfield and try to score on the break, and try and make it as difficult as possible for them.

[Saint Garrett]

Look forward to this one being over. Think I'd go back to a 3 at the back for this. Keep it respectful and move on. I'd love to see us playing at a high intensity and get in amongst them, they wont want to pick up injuries just before the WC.

Kind of feel like that for the rest of the season

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can’t see us getting too much out of this…possibly a draw. Would like to see a win, but a goal or two playing on the front foot and getting a draw would raise the spirits a bit.

[Gingeletiss]

Please Mr Jones, whatever you do, set us up to take the game to them, win draw or lose, just try to win, none of this negative crap.

[skintsaint]

Liverpool to win by at least six. Jones to lay the gurning Klopp out at some point.

YES but who is likely to score unless we get a penalty

[saint lard]

9-0 defeat. Just to keep parity with the last incumbent.

I always thought cults consisted of those whose views were not in keeping with the majority of any given group.

[Yorkshire Saint]

Didn't Mccarthy and Jones play together at Yeovil briefly? I can see Alex in goal for this one.....

 

[Pamplemousse]

Can't wait for this... not

Will be a fun day out up north. Weather not too cold luckily.

4-0 Liverpool

If that happens Jones will become an instant Legend!

[Atlanta Saint]

We can hope and pray that the scousers are not that committed and do want to get hurt before they head off for the WC. COYS!

[farawaysaint]

Liverpool have been a bit rubbish so 7-0 instead of the annual 9-0 😂

[Saint Garrett]

Good opportunity for someone to boot Henderson and rule him out the world cup - calling Lyanco...

And Trent. If we knocked their golden boy out of the world cup just when he had got in by default they would hate us forever I reckon. 

[saintant]

Not sure how much input Jones will have in terms of team selection and tactics this soon into his tenure. Think he'll be taking advice from Selles for this one but hopefully will still have some influence in lifting the players and the performance. Something of a free hit anyway as not many expect much from Anfield even if Liverpool are on the wane by their own high standards. A draw would be a great result.

[Baird of the land]

Hopefully the fact we've few walking on eggshells with WC place at stake will mean we can go at them 100%.

Mad Nate to square up to the gurning klopp on 30mins .. after Lyanco two footed off the ground shin buster on Fabinho ruling him out of World Cup ! 
 

10 man saints beaten heavily 5-0 ..Adams missing his double obligatory sitters !!

at least two 0f our players are in their countries w/c squads. A   Smallbone is  in Irish squad. Is he the same chap who was on our books last season?

Ireland didn’t qualify.

[Charlie Wayman]

What can we expect at Anfield with our morale at rock bottom after the confusion of the dismissal of one manager and the recruitment of a whole new coaching set up. If we keep them below 5 it will be seen as a good day's work.

For me 6-1 to the Scousers will be an untimely reminder to Jones and the Board that this is the PL and the gulf in class is huge.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Liverpool's data analytics team didn't cover Luton. So we'll have the element of surprise. Mr Jones tells the squad he couldn't give a stuff about automatisms, releasing all that talent that had been there all along.

Lyanco starts and, along with AA and Che actively target world cup players. The fear of injury allows us to sneak a 2-1 victory, with Stu being vital. Klippety gets sent off for being a tool after moaning that his players falling over should always be a free kick.

Controversy at the end when a tear is seen in Mr Jones' eye. Is it a Ralph tear of joy, or just one of laughter at the antics of Klippety?

[Southner]

Hopefully drown the Kop out with some bangin' psalms.

It's like watching the game through a letterbox. If you're tall you probably won't be able to see the whole goal at the opposite end or anything above head height of the players.

Scandalous really that Liverpool rip people off by selling them at the price they do.

[gsweet87]

1-0 Saints win. Jones falls to his knees and starts crying at full time.

[DrunkenSaint]

He likes the 3412 formation, sadly AMN is our only RB, good news no space for wingers so no Elyonoussi although i feel for Edozie since he was our bright spark against Wednesday. What ever the result i wont judge him after only a few days of training.

We play Liverpool Saturday and think B team play Everton away Sunday midday , in theory all could travel and be available 

[Daft Kerplunk]

Seeing as Liverpool are having a rubbish (by their standards) season, and NJ wouldn’t have had enough time to work with the players, it’s an open door for Liverpool to get the win they need.
