He just got sick and is currently being evaluated for Thursday although the boss is pretty confident hes going to play so I am assuming its nothing serious and it was all just precaution.

Cicero Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 All of our goals so far under Tuchel have been relied on individual brilliance vs a collective effort. It's the very reason why we've struggled up front. The decision making has been truly awful. You can slowly see improvement as weeks progress, but not at the rate you expect given the attacking talent we have. I expect this to be a 0-0, score draw, or a narrow Liverpool win. Result likelihood in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result likelihood in that order. If Phillips plays for us I worry if he gets dragged out to the right or high up. He can get turned quite easily and has zero recovery pace. If you're Chelsea, you're looking at isolating him up against a Werner or Pulisic if they're fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about barn doors, he's not having too bad of a season goal wise though. I'm on the fence about Thursday though, Chelsea could really exploit us defensively, it's a cliche but that first goal could be massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Unless Fabinho is back I don’t expect anything here. Against the players Chelsea have in forward positions (I know they aren’t exactly setting the world alight at the moment) I think Kabak & Phillips could be in some trouble. If Fabinho is fit to start then it has to be Phillips next to him. He’s not quick, but neither is Kabak & Phillips is better in the air. Jota should be ready to go for it. He won’t start as I think Klopp will stick with Bobby after that goal against Sheffield. I do wonder if Alisson will make himself available for this one, be good for us if he does.

We beat a Sheffield United that's competing with Derby for "worst premier league team in history" We've got a CB that was playing in Bundesliga 2 last season, he'll probably be playing alongside a CB that was (and maybe is) on his way to Bundesliga 2 next season, and a player who's never played any higher than the Championship that maybe might be starting alongside one of those other CBs I mentioned. That is, quite literally, a second tier backline, granted it'll have two of the league's best attacking fullbacks on either side of it... probably exposing the fuck out of both of these defenders desperately trying to prove they're top flight quality. And we're probably not going to have our first choice keeper. And our second choice, a kid, is also out injured - so you will get Adrian in goal most likely. And Adrian fills me with about as much confidence as... something that takes away pretty much all confidence entirely. It would take being pretty shit to wake us up from looking dead as fuck, imo.

Listen mate, you can doom and gloom your way to the end of the season all you want but we don't have the right cutting edge up front to bother you just like we didn't against United, It's just a fact that we as a club always blow it when it matters, Remember Arsenal?? on a shitty run and couldn't get a win for love nor money UNTIL they played us and we made them look like Barcelona... Things like that are just in our nature to throw away, It's worse because we could get a bit of a lead over you but we won't, we will blow that chance and end up letting you win somehow..

I think Phillips is our best CB left, based of what's been shown of the academy products/new signings (granted, one of the new lads hasn't played at all, and I suspect he's probably the most competent CB out of all of them based on experience. I think Kabak & Phillips are both good at the same things and bad at the same things. I think Phillips is just a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Phillips has been turned dead easily a few times and got away with it (same happened with Rhys Williams' mistakes going unpunished until that FA Cup game v United). Kabak has at least showed some ability to recover if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
