Norwich (a) 17:30 Sat

[Dreambeliever]

So unless City’s game gets changed pronto we have a great chance to move 25 pts ahead of them.

After a long break we should go full strength


Becker
TAA
Robbo
Virgil
Gomez
Gini
Hendo
Fabs
Salah
Mane
Firmino

3 days before the Athletico game, is it that straightforward?

It is. Our players are shit after coming back from a break. They need to warm up against Norwich

 

[binomial]

I'd defo look to rest 1 or 2 for Atleti.

Alisson Trent Matip Virgil Robbo Wijnaldum Keita Ox Salah Firmino Origi

 

[Mersey86]

I know we are 22 points clear - but I would not be resting players in the league until we've won it. Norwich is the game I care more about.

 

[Insignificance]

Our players allways need a run out after being away. I guess we are back to full strenght.

 

[doctor_mac]

This has first defeat written all over it.

We need the game to blow off the cobwebs

You've got defeat written all over it

 

[Insignificance]

It is fucking Norwich. They had winterbreak too

 

[Hansern]

Yes, for Norwich. After the winter break.

 

[Hansern]

Fuck it, I take that back. We’re getting docked 25 points now.

 

[Insignificance]

Fuck it, I take that back. We’re getting docked 25 points now.

25? We will still win it.

 

[SummerOnions]

Would only play Mane for a half, would like to have Gini and Hendo 100% for Madrid so maybe would start Keita against Norwich

 

[FoxForceFive]

I reckon this could get called off you know.

40 mph winds forecast for Saturday in Norwich with this next storm rolling in, so doubtful they'll want that many cars on the road 'unnecessarily'.

Be a fucking kick in the teeth not playing a game before Atletico & going into that match cold with the way we play after a break, not to mention the fixture pile up.

 

[doctor_mac]

Playing in 40 mile an hour winds in a big shed of a stadium doesn't exactly sound like fun either. Plenty of times things have gone wrong with our play the wind has been a big part of it. Our tactics of long cross field passes is ruined.

Oh yeah, it goes beyond being a leveller for us & actually massively works against us imo.

 

[moron]

We are fucked anyway....Lovren has spoken...do not need any bad wind to jinx this up, damage is done.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Lovren has said loads of shit whilst we've been on this mad run & it hasn't jinxed us. Relax.

 

[SummerOnions]

Would rather draw to Norwich if it meant us being mentally sharp enough to beat Atletico

 

[hmmmmm1]

Play the full team, no one cares for Europe, we could win the title this month.

If we loose this one as suggested above it would be pretty embarrassing. Norwich are garbage

 

[doctor_mac]

That's true. I suppose it is also the case that as Norwich actually attempt to play football they're likely to be as debilitated by the conditions as us. All things being equal, we're probably best playing the game.

 

[Hansern]

Lovren has said loads of shit whilst we've been on this mad run & it hasn't jinxed us. Relax.

Thats probably because he isnt playing. If he was starting week out and week in the jinx would be on.

 

[Hyena]

Thats probably because he isnt playing. If he was starting week out and week in the jinx would be on.

He's been bedding Salah though. Surely that counts for something in jinx theory?

 

[KloppNitro]

Norwich and will be fit. Scott McTominay is out for a couple of months whilst Paul Pogba is out with an ankle injury/transferwindowitis. Eric Bailly has made a return in the under 23s and Jesse Lingard should return after illness.

 

[Red Mullet]

Haven’t we had a long break then beat Norwich last summer already? Look how that turned out.

Shit, I forgot about Becker....

Did I miss something?

What the fuck are you blathering on about man?
Welcome to the forum.

Are you some kind of Manu-bot?
