Starting to feel what MadLad is on about with you moaning wankers I'm not so sure, our midfield's been pretty shit lately and it's looking likely Henderson won't play and he's been the one member of the midfield that's played well in the last 2 league matches.

More like the club should have withheld Henderson from England by lying about an injury or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certain you’ve still got enough for Arsenal. They’ve been on a decent run against the also rans but Leicester aside haven’t pulled up any trees.

Cicero Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Think this game isn't clear cut as it used to be given the context. Just how many injuries do Liverpool have atm? With Arsenal pulling up a decent run of results + their players being fresh, think they may give Liverpool a game. Think Liverpool will win but not the blow out we've seen the past few seasons.

Firmino, Keita, Milner, Jones, and Gomez confirmed out for this one, with Robertson and Henderson needing late fitness tests. Out of the likely midfield of Fabinho, Ox, and Thiago the only one of those midfielders I feel like we can trust is Fabinho - but he looked pretty poor his last run out tbh. With Thiago he's really been hit or miss, mostly miss and Oxlade-Chamberlain's not been the same player since his last bad injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted November 18, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted November 18, 2021 Goalfest in Liverpool's favour I think. Arsenal have improved a fair bit but Liverpool still far too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted November 18, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 18, 2021 It may not be the walk in the park we expect but I think we'll win here. I'd be tempted to push Tsimikas into this one as he's actually showing more potential than Andy at this point. Mane needs to start getting into some kind of rhythm sooner and I feel like Tsimikas will get that more out of him than Robbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I think the break came at a good time for Liverpool and a bad time for us. We still would've been underdogs but I would've definitely preferred it if the international break didn't take place in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hopefully the international break has reset the midfield a bit and Hendo is given the all clear (took part in some training yesterday and today). Still, if you watched our midfield and defence against West Ham, I think it’s understandable that a couple of us are worried. Our front three can cause problems against anybody, that much is certain. I just don’t trust Ox in that midfield three and even less so if Henderson isn’t in to help sure it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 O M FUCKING GEEE We haven't played well in 2 games and have lost 1 game in 26 .... GERRARD IN!!! Seriously though.. Forget that West Ham game..Remember, before Klopp came, we lost 6-1 to Stoke..we lost to Norwich and Bordeaux. We drew against Carlisle United and FC Sion and before that under Hodgson, we lost against Northampton. We have come far far away from those days. And we need to get out of this famine mentality of talking about transfers after every setback. It shows distrust in the current squad and its not needed. We have a great team, we just need to play at our best which we are not doing. That's all. Stop worrying and cheer hard. We go again in 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Who'd have thought Thiago would be so untrusted by the Liverpool fans. This is a huge game for Arsenal by the way, they've looked good but as @DeadLinesman said they've only played Leicester during their run of form who'd you'd say are a decent side.

I think Thiago's a bit like Veron, tbh. Clearly a very good player somewhere in there... but he's maybe not the best fit for playing in England. Although I've actually seen Thiago play well for us - I'm not sure I ever saw Veron really perform at either United and Chelsea. But he's just so hit or miss... and when he's bad he's infuriatingly poor tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact we have talked at length about squad gaps prior to these setbacks, you still ignore that and claim we are being knee jerk. I’m not getting into the whole transfer discussion with you again, but please stop making out we are fair weather fans because we point out parts of the squad we feel could be improved upon. #rondonIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably have been happier had we not signed him and used that money to tie Gini Wijnaldum down. Gini was an underrated and important player.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 19, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 19, 2021 Fucking hell, I have low expectations of Sky Sports journalism but wow. In keeping with the usual media treatment of English goalkeepers though. Every English goalkeeper is world class apart from the actual England goalkeeper who is the team's weak link, regardless of who it is and how well or badly they perform.

Saw Pickford is linked with Tottenham. I'm sure the media narrative will change then if he moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 6 hours ago, shut up said: I think we can add Thiago to the very long list of players that looked great in the Bundesliga but werent quite good enough for the Premier League They can’t all be Bobby, Dzeko, KDB, Gundogan or Hamann. Weird though that Thiago and even Xhaka were considered brilliant CMs with loads of playmaking ability, but they are so inconsistent here. I’m still hoping Thiago can settle in well here, he’s put in some great performances around the end of last year despite looking shit coming into the side last year when we had no CBs. But performances like against West Ham make me think that hope is misplaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
