Dr. Gonzo Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Looking at the match history... all I can really think is "thank fuck this isn't an FA Cup tie"
LFCMike Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Could be a difficult game. I do wonder if Wolves will see it as a bit of a free hit and make a lot of changes though. They've got City tonight which will take a lot out of them

A win against City and suddenly they are challenging for fourth spot when they play us. I still think we'll beat them.
Harry Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Another tough match. Wolves have scored in every game this year except round one so it might be a tough one to keep a clean sheet. A good test for the Virgil Gomez partnership. Hopefully we can keep our winning run rolling on, and end 2019 in the right fashion.
Rick Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 This will be tougher than the Leicester game. Wolves have less than 48 hrs between last night and the match against us so hopefully that performance last night has took a lot out of them. I’ll be very impressed if they come at us with the same sort of energy. Regardless, we handle pressure a lot better than that City team so I expect we will ride out the storm and get a positive result in the end.

Pep Talk Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Quick turn around fir a small squad like wolves hit still be entertaining game.
IgnisExcubitor Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Reckon we might not see a lot of changes from our side. One of the things that other fans are not acknowledging is our injury list - now and in the early part of the season. Nobody speaks about it. We hardly have a CB cover. Same with FBs. With Fabinho and Ox injured, Henderson nursing a minor injury and Gini coming back from injury, I doubt Milner will be shifted to LB. The only respite would be up top. I reckon one of Mane, Salah or Bobby will be rested for Origi.
Harry Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I'd rest Salah. Played the full 120 in Qatar, and a bit off yesterday, and a bit selfish again shooting from a tight angle when he should have passed to Mane.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 28, 2019 Subscriber Posted December 28, 2019 What is odd about Salah is that he goes on these little spells where he'll go for goal when he clearly has a pass in him and in some cases the pass is the better option. This isn't the first time he's done and it and I doubt it will be the last either. Sadly, Mane is always the victim of these little spells as he puts himself about finding spaces and then the passes never come. And then he'll go through phases after he doesn't pass the ball where all he is looking for is a pass. It balances itself out in the grander scheme of things.

The bottom line is Mane knows when to pass, and when to shoot, and is the right amount of selfish and confident. Salah either doesn't know or is too selfish to care, or too angsty because he's due a goal. He's an amazing player but this aspect is a limitation of his game. If he fixed it he could close the gap on Messi and those at the pinnacle of the game right now.

Attacking players are generally selfish.
LFCMike Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Elliott, Jones and Williams all on the bench. Shaqiri has a muscle strain so not in the squad
Machado Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Liverpool will finish the year without a single loss at Anfield if they get a point today. Any idea of when was the last time this happened?
Machado Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 On the other hand Wolves lost only once away this season... to Everton. They do not seem to do well at the city as their last away defeat previous to Everton was precisely at Anfield, last season.
Machado Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Hmmm 6 Portuguese players in Wolves line up. Nuno doing a Wenger in this club.
Dr. Gonzo Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Just now, Machado said: Hmmm 6 Portuguese players in Wolves line up. Nuno doing a Wenger in this club. They’ve got a weird arrangement with Jorge Mendes, it’s how they came up and started all of a sudden having so many actually good players.
Dr. Gonzo Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I always feel like people who leave our academy having failed to make it at Liverpool are always forgotten men. I’m happy to see Connor Coady has managed to make a career out of himself that’s seen him at a club as good as Wolves and is their captain.
Dr. Gonzo Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Fuck the league for not letting us use this big obnoxious badge we’ve won in the other league games this season.

These kids in the Mendes wheel have their lives sorted out like it's a piece of cake to "make it" in football. Neto barely played, was appointed to Benfica and ends up in the best league in the world without having done anything special. Yikes. I guess there is money to be made and Mendes sure is making a lot of it.
