That is absolutely the sort of thinking that leads us to a scrappy 1-0 home defeat.
They don’t need to win - they can just sit back, defend in numbers, suck us in and hit on the counter.
2 things guaranteed to happen :
- Onana has the game of his life
- Hojlund scores his first EPL goal.
We should never take a game against these fuckers lightly - especially when their pride is at stake.
Zero chances taken - the best “condolences” we could offer them, would be to thrash them harder than the 7-0 last year - but we won’t - this one will be as tight as Dolly’s rear end before @Jürgen4PM has had a crack at it.
Spot on, if our players go into this one thinking the score is 7-0, we're fucked
I've already accepted the fact that Hojlund scores his first goal against us.
Yup - they’ll sit back, look to counter any try to nick one.
If we can get a goal early on - we’ll do them.
If they nick one early, even if it’s against the run of play - we could be in for a long afternoon.
I’m just hoping Darwin turns up - at least Utd will probably sit so deep it’s impossible for him to stray offside.
He really struggles against teams that sit off and don't give him space to run into
You see this isn't really true. If you study the goals he scored in Portugal - I did and posted the stats here before - you'll find almost half of them were scored from within 6m. Nothing to do with space to run into. He's actually a very good poacher when not blazing over from 2m.
List B players - play them!

He'll probably start gakpo and with justification. Nunez to come on at 70 and destroy everything for both teams

Dead rubber with 2.5m prize money. Our owners are business men.
What's the prize money here though, about 2.5k?
On entering the competition, participating clubs agree-
To play in the competition until their eliminated and to field their strongest team throughout the competition.

A bit of knowledge for those blaming Klopp.
We don’t want to get kicked out do we?

Half a million.
Elliott doing press conference so he definitely starts.
Harvey "Yeah definitely" Elliott
City definitely started their strongest team today.
As I mentioned before we have to tread a fine line. Back in the Brodge era we got a (polite) warning for playing a weakened line up vs Bayern
The competition is a squad thing and so we just need to play enough first teamers to keep the right side of a reprimand
Yeah, Man U is a no go. There's no reason for us to rush him back. We have enough cover in midfield.
Nunez should play. He needs to start scoring. He's scored 2 Prem goals since those Newcastle worldies in August. Not good enough. Yeah we all like his nuisance value but that's not enough.
I'd have been VERY surprised if Mac had travelled!
