We seem to roll over against Liverpool under Rodgers, we've been comprehensively outplayed every time we've faced you. Add in we've just played midweek and you're likely to have one of your new defenders in - in turn strengthening your midfield too. Oh and Justin is almost certainly out too and he's been one of our best players for me. I think it's all set up for you to win personally. Would be delighted to be proven wrong.

Administrator Stan Posted February 11, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think we're in for a massive dicking, to be quite honest. Firstly, Rodgers does seem to crumble against Liverpool. Secondly, Liverpool are gonna be a million times more up for this surely given the hammering they got last week vs Man City. And, there'll be extra in their performance cos they'll want to do it for Klopp and what he's been through. They'll want to win (normally) but even more so for him. Thirdly, if we're missing Justin it's a big one - mainly because the back-up/alternative is injured. We'll have Ricardo on one flank and probably Luke Thomas on the left going up against Salah. Having Ndidi back will be crucial, mind. We generally seem to play better when he plays. Blends well with Maddison and Tielemans in the middle. Vardy needs service. Glad Barnes was rested last night as he'll be the main one to create for us after Maddison and Tielemans. @Dr. Gonzo you may be out of form but in some of the games you might not have won, the chances have still been there for the front 3. One game they'll click and everything will fall for them because they clearly work hard. I feel that game could be Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one falls at a better time for you than us personally even despite your issues. Also to factor in what I said before, just our general no-shows against Liverpool. It's Liverpool and Manchester United we never seem to turn up against. There'll be a lot of talk about Vardy's record against Liverpool but he's actually not scored against Liverpool since 2017.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 12, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's not been 100% confirmed, but unfortunately, the same source that initially told me a couple of hours before it was public that Ricardo had done his ACL has told me that Justin has done the same, and will be out for 9 months. A cruel, nasty blow if true. A huge hit for him in what's been a breakthrough season where he had a good chance of making the England squad, and a big hit for us who lose our 'plug' defender who plays anywhere. I really really hope they're wrong this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Klopp's not mentioned anything about Thiago yet I don't think but wouldn't surprise me if he drops out for this one given he's had so many games recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted February 12, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 12, 2021 What's the likelihood you'll have both new CBs playing, so that Henderson can come in to the midfield again, alongside Wijnaldum and Milner I guess? Or Henderson with one new CB, and Jones in the middle? Still think you're strong enough to win. Losing Justin for this 1 game is bad enough, let alone for potentially months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Not looking forward to this. With Fabinho out, it’s a certainty that Henderson will be put in the back line again and our midfield will again look light. I would throw the new guys in this, or at least Kabak next to Phillips. When we take Henderson out of the midfield, we may gain a fairly competent centre half but we lose a vital midfielder. I’m not happy with that trade.

Burning Gold Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Not surprised by the Fabinho injury. He's played every minute of every game he's been available this season, missing only one or two. Obviously not sustainable especially this season Excited to see what Kabak can do. Funny Rio Ferdinand is talking about this on TV now, but hopefully with a proper defender at the back again we'll be a bit braver going forward. I don't think it's a confidence thing like he says, but a safety thing because we're in trouble if we lose it. I think it'll take getting Henderson and Fabinho back in the midfield to get it back fully, but I want to see more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
