Pre Match - Watford (a) - Sat 12:30

[Frogfish]

Well I guess this needs updating !

-------------------------Kelleher------------------------
Trent----------Matip------------VVD------------Tsimikas
--------------------------Morton----------------------------
---------------Hendo----------------Keita-------------
-----Salah-------------Firmino-------------Mane

Is what I'd go with. Milner & Ox in reserve if needs be. Kopp will likely go with Hendo as DM and Milner on the RM ... also fine.

Changed my mind on LB. Robbo to be rested for Atletico (Tuesday?) and Tsimikas come in. I also didn't realise Bobby wasn't in Brazil so he's a near certain starter.

 

[Brizzle]

It's not quite so bad.

In one game he was subbed on at the 68th.
In one game he was subbed off for 76th minute
The other he played the full 90, although that was the most recent of them.

So he played 2 games worth of minutes.

My work day is incredibly slow if you hadn't already guessed.

And the most recent one was Tuesday so good rest time too

 

[Halmeister]

It's even more obvious than before that we're getting beat.

 

[binomial]

All the decks are against us tomorrow.

12:30pm kick off - fuck
New manager bounce - fuck
Away from home - fuck
After international break with key players out - fuck

My work day is incredibly slow if you hadn't already guessed.

He played 2 games worth if games are 117 minutes long ... maybe that's the way they do it in Guinea

EDIT - just noticed subbed on at the 68th minute ... ignore me

 

[Red rose]

Watford also have players injured and out

I reckon we will win 3/1 😀 which will take us top, even if for a short time

 

[MomoWASright]

6-0 win for the mighty reds. Fuck you naysayers

 

[mom]

Innit. Injuries or not, easy win

I’ve no idea who any of those players are. Which is why I’m sure we will wallop them.

The new manager bounce is a Watford specialty. Gotta watch out

Yeh that and the fact klopps not had any time to check how the new manger will play them, being familiar with that helps,although Klopp mentioned he’d looked at other teams and his tactics with them, plus Klopp knows him so will have some idea…
Sarr does need watching like 🤓

‘Come on you Reds’!

 

[doctor_mac]

Watford away has always been a shitty fixture, and our last outing there was fucking atrocious. Still, I reckon 0-2 or 1-3 to the mighty reds!

We played Lovren big bollocks then. We’re not today. So we’ll win.

And Ranieri has little to no time to train with them either (a number away on Int. duty)!

 

[Halmeister]

We're always shit there, we have no midfield, new manager bounce, early kick off after internationals... we're getting tonked. 2 or 3 nil to Watford.

 

[Hansern]

A ray of sunshine!

 

[Red rose]

I feel safe to embrace positivity 😀

3/1 to Liverpool!

 

[Hansern]

Kelleher
Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson
Henderson, Milner, Keita
Salah, Firmino, Mane

 

[Shadey]

Potential banana skin but stop Sarr and the crowd and we’ll win this.

really hope so,
realise I may be in for some stick if not but not arsed haha

 

[binomial]

Want to see Mane and Firmino at their absolute best.

 

[Woland]

Shame about Jones.

Should batter them really though

 

[Frogfish]

Team is not a surprise at all (though I thought Tsimikas might get a run out). Watford shouldn't be able to lay a glove on that team.

 

[Halmeister]

Ranieri won 4 out of 5 games against Liverpool. Another reason why we're getting the hammer

 

[binomial]

Love Klopp but god he moans a hell of a lot.

 

[Woland]

Did he bump into you in Tesco?

 

[rurikbird]

C’mon you Reds!

 

[Shadey]

Why didn’t bobby go to Brazil.
