Manchester United (H) Sunday 4pm

[Dan]

FFS can we please smash these c****.

 

Assuming no injuries from last night

 

Alisson

Trent

VVD

Matip

Robbo

Wijnaldum

Fabinho

Keita

Salah

Mane

Firmino

 

 

[McBain]

Trent's having a scan on his foot. Big doubt

[Conrad]

no chance both firmino and keita are starting this.

 

i expect klopp will go with the same starting XI as last night - injuries permitting

[Hassony]

The combined team that Neville and Carragher came up with is ridiculous

[Gethin]

Anywhere good for watching games in London these days? 

[Hightown Phil]

Alisson, Milner, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Keita, Mane, Firmino, Salah I reckon.

big loss this if he can't play

[Benzo-13]

No way their keeper or centre backs get near us.

[Begbie]

Alisson, Milner, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Keita, Mane, Firmino, Salah I reckon. 

 

Swap Matip for Lovren and that's what I'd go with

 

Hopefully Trent is ok so we can give Milner a rest. Shaq can feel unlucky to miss out

[The_Adder]

Need to be playing Matip, he's playing really well.

 

I'd go with Fabinho, Keita and Shaqiri, but I'd do that every game.

[Cobs]

we need to smash these feckers

[Dan]

Gini was excellent last night and deserves to keep his place. He's a big game player.

You know Mourinho will just sit back and play like he has done on his past two visits to Anfield. Both times we played 4-3-3 and it didn't work because he just suffocates the space 25 yards from goal with players and so nullifies the high press. We're going to need some creativity from midfield if we're going to break down his packed defence. Think we'll go back to 4-2-3-1 for this match and bring in Shaqiri, Salah up top, Bobby dropping deep again. Milner to Right back if Trent is injured.  I'd start Keita alongside Gini, Keita could provide that much needed link/drive between midfield and attack.

[Barnesy_10]

interesting debate and really is testament to Jurgen's work that we dominate the combined XI 

 

Neville himself says he put some mancs in there just so there are some in there, rather than based on credit. Carras response to Neville having Pogba as a holding midfielder is class

 

[Hightown Phil]

Need to be playing Matip, he's playing really well.

 

I'd go with Fabinho, Keita and Shaqiri, but I'd do that every game.

 

He's also out for 6 weeks.

[LicK]

Could have done without Matip getting injured two games after Gomez.

Chances of Lovren staying fit for 6 weeks?

[Leo No.8]

I’d guess it’ll be Milner at right back if Trent is out?

 

You’d expect Keita to come back in anyway as this lot will park the bus. We need him to thread a few passes.

I'd be a bit worried about Milner being knackered after his recent run of games, but I don't see a good alternative.

On the upside, having 2 of our first choice defence and one reserve out, and still being able to field Milner/Lovren/VvD/Robertson isn't the worst place to be. On the downside, one more injury and we're in big trouble.

Good one Dan!

Cheers - mostly Reds in there? Just don't fancy watching it surrounded by knobheads (big ask in London I know....) 

[DanM]

This is the biggest game of United's season so far, they are going to be losing the plot with how much they want to take points off us.

Its their cup final

 

Then throw in the added bonus that we're top of the league, unbeaten, and about 500 points ahead of these useless c****. 

 

These f***ers will be chomping to perform on Sunday. It wouldnt shock me if they won. But then went on to lose their next 2 games after it. Its just like we used to do.

Annoying that he's not going to bother trying for first in their CL group tonight so he can rest everyone for sunday

[Case]

He has.

 

He’s even played Pogba.
