Liverpool
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Joseph Gomez, Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold ruled out. Nathaniel Clyne doubtful.

Redcafe predictions. They seem confident.
God help us ...
Liverpool is miles ahead of us as a team. On Sunday I expect they will demonstrate exactly the gulf in class ...
God if we get a 0-0 that would be class.......
Bring on the 32 wheeler triple decker BUS ...
Have an interview for my passport Saturday, hopefully I get detained and deported so I can avoid watching us....
Liverpool 2 United 0. Phil Jones brace.
We're gonna get absolutely spit roasted.
This is going to be difficult to watch. Don't think we'll get smashed on the scoreboard, but think we'll get torn a new one on the field.
If there is any way we can avoid showing up for this fixture (the bus breaking down, the entire squad contracting a mysterious virus, issue with the fax machine etc) then we should jump at it. We can't deal with the dippers right now.
We'll set up to aggravate and foul the hell out of em like the jammy cnuts we've become.
I fully believe most of this squad don't want to be picked for this game. They're terrified of what's going to happen to them.
No chance of another 0-0 like the last few times we’ve been there. We aren’t good enough not to concede in this game if they show up.
9-0-1 formation.
So it’s a team that always concedes and struggles to score travelling to another that doesn’t concede and has goals coming out of every orifice.
To be completely honest, I'm never excited for Anfield. I usually dread it as most of the time it's a terrible game of football, scrappy and often nasty. And that fecking roar when they score is unbearable.

I actually this could turn our more embarrassing then the Derby last month. We can't string three passes together and can't seem to deal with a press at all and they are probably playing the best team at it. Nightmare....

Mourinho has revealed he will be without six players for the trip to Anfield with Smalling, Rojo, Dalot, Martial, Lindelof and Darmian all injured.

I'm hoping for the best but expecting a pile of shite punctuated by a Phil Jones header from a corner.
I may be being optimistic, but having watched Salah against Koulibali, try to get the better of him over & over, before finally working out how to position himself to turn him on his weaker foot to gain an extra yard on him & then score as a result, befpfe repeating the trick (although without a goal) in the second half, I think that this seasons Salah will have a number of ideas about how to play against Young.
Also worth noting that none of our front three have scored against Utd. It's hard to imagine that continuing.
I can see this being a very frustrating game for us fans, as we just patiently plug away, much as I'd like to batter them, I suspect we'll score just once or twice late into the match.
One thing from reading the analysis posted in the other thread is that Salah roams a lot more this season ... this could give him a big advantage over a static Young and put him up against United's CBs, a far easier proposition for a man of Salah's talents (and Mane and Keita) if they are Jones and Smalling, their more mobile CBs are Bailly and Lindof.
Smalling and Lindelof are injured, so that leaves Bailly and Jones. Salah should definitely play through the middle and run straight at them (and maybe Mane too).
I wonder about Mo. He's never looked entirely happy playing up top, besides which I tend to favour the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach anyway. Mane on the other hand hasn't been at his best just lately so the change might do him good.
You haven't read that tactical analysis I posted have you ?!
I did, Froggy, just wasn't persuaded by it. Carra himself says that the disparity in outcomes has come about partly because it's against the lesser sides that Salah is played up top, and the guy hasn't - yet - fully recovered his coruscating form of last season. He's too good a player not to produce results even so, but that doesn't make the change a convincing one, IMHO of course.
And you Word is Law...
What is interesting is his goals scored record when he's played up top, however Klopp pushed him back on to the RW when we play one of the Top 6. Why ? I'm assuming because he wants an extra ball winner in midfield so can't field Mane - Salah - Shaq with Firmino in behind as #10.
But the heat map doesn't lie and if this is representative of all of his matches at #9 then that's a major change from last season.
Pogba would fuck the defensive balance.
Apparently Lindelof is fit to play. In fact, almost all of the players Maureen was saying were unavailable, are available.
I almost guarantee you he'd play him like he's using sturridge now. Super sub or 'b' team player.
He just doesn't have the work rate to do what we require, & he's way too inconsistent (although how much of that is the way he's being played by Mourinho & their relationship is unclear & won't be known til Mourinho goes).
I agree with Markeh. My money'd be on Klopp finding a way to get the last World Cup version of Pogba playing regularly, and that Pogba is a very good player indeed.
