LFCMike 3,009 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I know we all want to see Fabinho in midfield but can you really afford to play Rhys Williams in this one after his nightmare at OT in the cup? He wasn't great on Saturday night either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 1,179 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Only league game I'm looking forward to now and I hope Liverpool come to Old Trafford to attack us because that defence will be there for the taking on the counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elanga does look decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Chelsea (A), Spurs (H) Chelsea have Leicester (H), Villa (A) West Ham have Brighton (A), Liverpool have Man Utd (A), Burnley (A), Palace (H) So many different scenarios. We might only need a point, only on the basis of West Ham and Liverpool dropping any points. A Utd win today means you can only get 67pts and overtake us on GD (if we get that point). Then we only really have to worry about West Ham... It's exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't great on Saturday night either Absolutely not. Fabinho in the back line and put Milner in for Fab in the middle of Kabak is going to be out. Edit: Looks like we will be without Milner as well as he hasn’t recovered from his minor knock. If that’s the case I don’t know who we can replace Fab with in the middle. Might just have to gamble and put Williams in 🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNIQUE 65 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 davis is out. so that means since joining liverpool davis has had more injuries than games. also why has naby keita not just retired from football. the man is a joke. Liverpool look set to be without Ozan Kabak, James Milner, Naby Keita and Ben Davies for Thursday night's trip to Manchester United. The quartet missed the victory over Southampton last Saturday due to minor fitness concerns and appear to have failed to recover in time for the Old Trafford encounter. With Kabak and Davies sidelined, Rhys Williams partnered Nathaniel Phillips at the heart of the defence for the 2-0 win against Saints at Anfield.

Devil 1,179 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Are Liverpool at risk of not qualifying for the Europa league? I know there will be Liverpool fans that say they'd rather not be in it but it's pretty boring playing on league and cup games during the whole of a season as there just doesn't seem enough matches.

It finished 2-1 to Leicester so we hardly gave them the win and if I'm honest I fully supported Ole's decision. Not because of Liverpool but because we have an important final coming up and we need our players fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea win their 2 games (end on 70pts) and we beat Spurs (end on 69pts) - you would still need to overturn the GD over us. So in that scenario, depends on how much we win our game vs Spurs and if you win any of your games by more than 1 goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose against Chelsea (again, if only one goal), ours drops to +20. So we'd only need to win by 2 goals. If GD is level, it goes on goals scored.

Don't know if I'm missing anything? 4 points puts you on 68, Liverpool will finish on 69 with four wins. If Liverpool win their next three, you'd still be relying on Liverpool or Leicester slipping up on the last day wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck 175 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 United's players are at the stadium early to out smart any protests. Don't know where Liverpol players are or whether protesters will attempt to stop them getting to the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
