Well I do not expect to do another MDT after this game.
Liverpool are only 6 points behind Man City with a game in hand, which is against us.
Klopp will not be resting his star players for the League Cup Final or Champions League games. The title is still within their reach.
Their front 3 will be licking their lips in anticipation of adding to their tally of goals for this season.
I have no clue of what MB needs to do to arrest our slide down the table.
A win is needed quickly but we are away, don't have KP or Coops, who we miss badly.
Not looking forward to this game one bit
Good luck BB, but it looks like you have done a short MDT for a short regin in the MDT Chair.
On one hand i hope he plays a complete second string, as we wont be getting anything form the game regardless, even if its still 0-0 in the 80min VAR will intervene and make sure pool take all 3 points, sky need a close title race to boost sliding viewing figures, and as you say game in hand only 6 points behind City plus they also face city later on so gap gone potentially.
Spurs have Burnley, ourselves and Everton before they play manure in March so they will be looking for 9 points from those 3 games (min) to pile the pressure on scum. If it was me i would throw these next 2 games play the u23's and hope 10 days will be enough to get all batteries charged and possibly one or two of the injuries back before we face leicester. I watched them yesterday on/off after our game and they were patchy enough at times and shouldnt be a team that we should fear, but if we go balls out at LiVARpool and Spurs get zero points (no win in 6 at that stage) i can only imagine the moral boost they will have facing us knowing our players have lead in their legs.
Realistically we will patch up the players as best we can from yesterday and run out of steam before the hour is reached, not alone will the liVARpool front three look to exploit and try to add to each of their goal tallies VVD will want a slice of the scoring pie too as well as trying to keep another clean sheet.
Zero points at anfield for us and all we can hope for is that Spurs and Palace win their games on Wednesday night
sorry for the doom and gloom but i'm not going to post a score that will depress others even more.😓
Well they have Firminho and Jota out for this game so have to rely on Origi, Minamino or Dias. What a problem to have!
I doubt Koch will be available so it looks like Firpo at LB with Dallas joining Forshaw in CM.
I would like to see Cresswell start at RCB. He is quick, dominant in the air and can pick a pass.
I would rest Llorente
Also would have Geldhart up top with Rorigo behind him and James with Rafa on the wings.
Jimmy needs to be on the bench too as a game changer
Quality MDT BB and good luck for a prolonged run.... somehow!!
I really hope Raphinha and Geldhart start and maybe even Cresswell. Summerville surely has to be at least on the bench!!
Our away following will be our 12th man to cheer us on for at least a point....
Anfield isn't the best place to start but I'm going for a positive 1-0 victory with Geldhart to notch....
All the best BB - look on the bright side - the team can't do much worse and neither can you with your MDT reign....
Who is pencilled in for the Spuds MDT?
Thanks for your confidence Soopa!
BTW I expect nothing from this game just hope it is worth watching and not a total mauling.
You and me both 😒. It would be very Bielsa and Leeds to do something unexpected, but at the moment it feels a long way away.
Good luck BB, we'll need it😀.
Hope we can at least keep the score somewhat respectable.
Would also play Geldhardt upfront, because playing Rodrigo or Roberts up top is about as effective as playing my gran there.
Cresswell at CB would mean we'll actually win a couple of headers.
