Liverpool FC v Leicester City - Premier League - Thur 10 Feb @ 19:45

[Gethin]

So unless something drastic happens, I reckon we should have a full squad to choose from for the first time in lord knows how long.

Gomez & Ox missed Cardiff 'cos of lack of training after a COVID isolation and should be available

Origi back in training

Fab & Ali back from Brazil duty (assuming we gave them an extra few days at home which is why they weren't back for Cardiff?)

Mo will be back from AFCON & Sadio will probably be back - but think I saw that he'll be going back to Senegal for a parade on his way home 

Game's on BT Sport

Can't see Salah starting and can't see Mane getting on the pitch at all

Yeah that was my thought too.

Mo on the bench for Leicester, start against Burnley, Sadio 30 mins against Burnley, both start against Inter

[growler]

Can’t see mo or sadio in squad. Been there a month and will need some adjustment, let alone see their family. 

[Benzo-13]

Let’s rip these t***s to pieces.

[Tommok]

Ha! I think Brendan may be getting the boot before some of "these players"

Yup. They're in proper mid-table form which is a big drop-off from were they were last year. And after yesterday... Typical BR though, innit. Everyone's fault but mine.

[Greenoak]

I hate BR   

Never his fault. Always ready to throw players under the bus.

But when they win its always me and my players.. 

Be glad to see him sacked.

[Billy Talbot]

He's trying to get a reaction from them. 

I hope the reaction is "**** off Brendan".

Hasn't he been quoted blaming the drop off in the travel industry due to COVID, meaning the owners not being able to put money in to fund transfers? (Despite their net spend over the last 3 windows being £60m....)

Ha - I didn't know that but that's funny.

[Tommok]

The win against us in the last game was probably a key result in keeping him in the job for a while longer. 

But yeah a battering from us in this one could tip the scales against him.

I may be misremembering that but I'm sure I read something a couple of months ago.

Our boys and crowd should be well up for this. I reckon we batter them.

Speaking of which... given the bother they caused in Nottingham over the weekend plus the cover of darkness and how they're upset at us calling them out for their Rees-Mogg fantasies I suspect any encounters with them around the ground or in town won't be pleasant.

[cymrococh]

Imagine 13/14 with a decent manager.

Haha. d****eads. 

[cymrococh]

More pertinently, one of them invaded the pitch and threw punches at Forest players celebrating a goal.

I don't think it is, we had an excellent first 11 who showed tactical naivety at key moments, substitutions (and signings) were ultimately pointless or ineffectual, and he showed a complete inability to manage key players in an appropriate manner.

The years later only confirm how rubbish he was.

Tried to wreck 3 pubs and let off smoke bombs at another.

Smashing up cafes, offering out kids, bus-bothering... the usual.  Add in the fat lad running on the pitch to punch the Forest players.
