Spurs (H), Sat 2 Apr, late k/o

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

balls to all of this international friendly s***e. Let's talk about real footy....

 

A tough game this, Leicester play Sunday so we could help them along massively here. A big game the following Thurs for us away mind vs Dortmund, so how's he going to play this one then?

By playing our strongest available 11. We need to finish as high as possible in the league. Saturday late kick off to Thursday is decent time to recover.

[Alonso]

Seems sturridge and Milner are playing tomorrow for England whilst the spurs lads will probably all get a rest having played Saturday. Will sturridge be able to play Tuesday, Saturday, Thursday without picking up any problems?

[David Hodgson]

Sturridge hasn't played for 9 days, he needs a game.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

would prefer that game not to be under the watchful eye of RFH

[RafaShanks]

Lets f*** up their title bid.

[Molby]

All that counts is trying to manage full fitness for Dortmund

 

Need to stop this CL qualification pantomime - need every ounce of potential advantage focused on Dortmund

[growler]

We also need European footy next season. Keep winning. Players should be playing for their future.

I don't entirely agree. You keep going until the thing is mathematically no longer a thing.

 

Having said that, Dortmund is hugely the priority now. Given the international break that causes no compromises for selection vs Spurs. You want the team for Dortmund out against them. It's the game between the Dortmund games (Stoke) that becomes an issue.

[Stanley Leisure]

What happens if the winners of the Europa Cup qualify for the CL in their domestic league? Do the runners up get in?

[Nathan Explosion]

No.

[Stanley Leisure]

Oh.

[Guy_Incognito]

I've not seen much of Spurs this season, but it's gonna be difficult this, isn't it?

[D.Boon]

Kane and Dele Ali will have fun with Skrtel

[Red2Core]

f*** this let these cockney barrow boys worry about us...

We are Liverpool, tra la la la la,

We are Liverpool, tra la la la la la,

We are Liverpool, tra la la la la,

Hopefully the only fun that Skrtel has is on the bench.

yes because footy is fun..... and fans, pride, etc

 

but as a cliche, I'm not a fan and the context is that there is no evidence of our settling down to any consistency and there are several teams ahead of us

in fact, had I followed my own advice over the years, I wouldn't have had to resort to the slowies so often

[Conrad]

the team selection for spurs should be guided by dortmund

Southampton damaged my confidence cos I thought Klopp had broken out of this hodgsonesque 'win one draw one lose one' pattern but we are back on it again I think at 9-9-9, pretty sure we were 8-8-8 going into the manc games, so on that basis I'm expecting that to be our limit this season so how we can squeeze a UEFA Cup win out of that pattern I don't know but maybe just maybe we can. I would therefore take the loss against Spurs, win at Dortmund and draw v Stoke and then go again.

[D.Boon]

There would be a lovely irony in us going strong against Spurs and Dortmund and getting the results.

what would be the irony?

[D.Boon]

what would be the irony?

They rested against Dortmund to concentrate on winning the league and got dicked. If we beat them the leagues gone for them, we then dick Dortmund.

[McBain]

Resting anyone would be silly. Win this and we're in great shape for Thursday.

it's a convoluted irony

 

are you sure it isn't 'just a bunch of stuff that might happen?'

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

yer ma's a bunch of stuff etc....
