Burnt out guaranteed. Realise the options are not like for like but you can’t keep flogging the same guys

 

[Fabio]

Just start nallo or endo FFS

There's zero reason to play grav

 

[Glen C]

where's jones?

 

[Fabio]

where's jones?

Probably injured

 

[darkstarexodus]

where's jones?

Sick, apparently?

 

[Shadey]

At least the Cheesemeister is back.

 

[binomial]

We are en route to the ground to but this baldy cunt right between his beady eyes.

 

[BishBashBosh]

Gravenberch at centre back today shouldn’t be an issue - but it’s a dismal thought that he may feature more regularly there in any premier league or knockout matches in our cups.

 

[Frogfish]

Look at that bench FFS. At the same time we have out injured (etc.) : Bradley, Isak, Konate, Gomez, Leoni and now Jones.

 

[Modo]

Nallo?! Seriously? Some of you have gone beyond desperate.

 

[tombrown]

Nallo?! Seriously? Some of you have gone beyond desperate.

Why not play a kid who has about 15 minutes of first team experience across 2 matches and a 100% red card record? I mean its obvious isn't it

 

[mark1975]

Chiesa: "Mrs Slot was a shit shag anyway".

 

[tomasjj]

Or the captain of Japan, with 72 caps.

 

[Best Believe It]

Nice to see Gakpo's form rewarded with a rare start.

 

[Shadey]

Win this game Arne and then erm do one please.

Under Klopp, you know when the point finally came when City capitulated and lost the league to us? When they started playing their DM (Fernandinho) at CB because they didn't have enough CB cover in their squad.
You know when our title defence was done the following season? When we lost VVD to injury and switched our DM (Fabinho) to CB because we didn't have enough injury cover (and we did better late on in the season when we put lesser (but specialist) players like Kabbak and Big Nat at CB and put Fabs back in his proper position).
Tonight we're switching our DM to CB and playing without a proper DM. Sighs.
It really doesn't matter whether the DM can do a job at CB, they should be played in their proper position and we should sort out an alternative defensive strategy. I'd be OK with Endo playing there, as long as we have a proper DM in the DM position, because he's played there a fair bit in the past.

 

[Hansern]

Hopefully see some minutes to Morrison and Rio

It is the old weakening two positions instead of just one.

It is the old weakening two positions instead of just one.

Or, it's weaking two positions a bit, vs weakening one a lot.

While not trusting the squadies like Endo, running others into the ground.

Yeah, our squad is fairly crap though, our bench is awful.

Then don't put him on the fucking bench! If he's never going to play because he's never played then ....

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

And put some kid on the bench, that has played less? Who's missing from the bench?

 

[dee]

Chiesa, Endo, Gomez, Marshmallow, Ngumoha, Nyoni (and now Nallo) are not direct replacements. They are weaker, but they're fresher and they HAVE to take some of the load.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Slot says he picked Grav at CB, for his pace.

 

[dee]

We've already got two keepers on the bench lol

Two more keepers! Ibou, Gomez, Bradley, Lucky, Jones, Isak, Dans

Who is a short arse

 

[tomasjj]

Who is a short arse

but a centre back

 

[Shadey]

Anyone with any streams please?
