So, Sunderland then...

[Chewie]

They're off the back of a thumping so they're either floored or fighting. We've got momentum and belief we can win any type of game. Apart from injuries and form I'd like to see as strong a team as possible...

 

Mig

 

Defence is sound to go again...

 

Henderson prob out so looking at Can, Wijnaldum and Lallana....Kev S and Ejaria on bench

 

Bobby had a stinker so looking at one of Sturridge or Origi up top. Klopp always seems to start with the latter.. Mane is still available right?

Mane's last game

[Molby]

The timing of this is a stitch up

Has to be

 

Why do they hate us so?

 

 

We need to approach this game as if our lives depend on it

They kind of do in the context of the PL

[psl]

Sturridge surely starts.

[Gethin]

Think Mig and Sturridge are the only certain starters - the rest depends on how everyone else recovers.

 

To be fair though they're 18th, have injuries themselves, only had 2.5hrs more recovery time than us and are managed by Davie f***ing Moyes

[usualsuspect]

Biggest game in years....

[Benzo-13]

Worst nickname in football. Dijaboldi and Mannone in their defence. Proper dull duffer of a manager.

Just slaughter them lads.

[Barnesy_10]

They suffered a couple of bad injuries yesterday. Kone did his hamstring I think.

[Case]

I think Firmino will start. A lad like him around the likes of Djibalodi might cause carnage. Energy in midfield will be key.

[RafaShanks]

Play as full strength team as possible and play youngsters in the FA cup. Next match after that is the semi 1st leg on 11th Jan so nice long break for the squad.

No Hendo obviously so Can, Gini and Lallana in midfield.

Get game won early and bring players off one by one.

This has moved me.

 

You're right. Wtf have they got to do with black cats? It's pure entitled appropriation. The white power c-*nts must be made to question the existence of their inconsequential town lives.

[psl]

Didn't they vote for it?

For the nickname?

 

Who keeps asking their fecking opinions on things?

They voted for the stadium name, which is also s***e

Off a list.. As mentioned like the stadium too.

 

Just nick Benfica's name lads. Sure it looks the same.

[smithdown]

Two-faced sh*tbags with their jarg Portuguese sh*te that pleases no one this side of whatever road goes near.

My money's on one of Trent AA and Moreno playing - and Lucas starting in place of one of those CBs

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Yeah

 

Think Milner gets a rest - so either AA at RB with Clyne at LBV or more likely Moreno straight in.

 

Hendo out so Lucas in.

 

Rest Firmino, start Sturridge?

[Chewie]

Who plays out wide in this line-up below? Origi?

 

I do wonder if he'll bring in Kev Stewart to sit behind Gini and Can and play Lallana, Mane and one of Sturridge/Origi through the middle. Keeps the balance, Lallana will drop back if needed adding numbers in the middle..?

Being a little 'previous' but yes, we should slaughter them and their cats, black or otherwise.

[jimbolala]

Same team again, except Henderson of course. Start with Origi and hit them hard, use the subs when we've battered them , there's no league game for ages after this one,they can rest after this

[Cunny]

no way it's the same team again

expect TAA, Lucas, Stewart to come into contention

Mane will start, as there is no point in resting him.

One (maybe both) of Sturridge and Origi will start.

[Conrad]

absolutely full strength, no resting anyone. this is a vital game and it will be tough. Sturridge for Henderson - if not fit - only change

[Swipe]

FA Cup at the weekend. That's when you make proper changes.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if sturridge starts tomorrow though.
