Rick Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 After last night’s result, we need to hammer somebody I think. Villa and Southampton have both had shite 2022’s so hoping we can do one of them. Bobby is back in the squad as well, a much needed boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hopefully can get 3 points here, tho hard to see how we can catch city now regardless. Both points and goal difference are challenging given their current form. But gotta keep the pressure on and be there in case they somehow slip up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I am firmly convinced that a previous player or coach has an effect when he meets an ex team once he moves on. An example was the Frank Lampard connection for Everton against Chelsea. Tonight's match is therefore unpredictable with the Steven Gerrard connection. I will not be surprised to see a positive home result. I don't think Liverpool are at their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the title is not out of reach, but there's the opportunity to go strong today and for Saturday's Cup Final. Perhaps more likely to see rotation for the game vs Southampton next Tuesday. Either way I think they win - Villa aren't really up to much these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have lost a little potency in front of goal and because of what's at stake I'm going to be watching this match. Not just because of the battle for top place but to see if my powers of prediction are sound. I'm going for a Villa result. Also, City's 5-0 compared to Liverpool's 1-1 tells me City are massive favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 10, 2022 I don't think Liverpool will drop points here. Villa might have fought hard for a draw to secure safety if they hadn't seen Burnley off at the weekend. This Liverpool side don't tend to drop points in back to back games very often either, they should win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs were boosted by a win before meeting Liverpool and so too Villa. Let's see. Interesting battles for top place, fourth and relegation.

Personally I think they'll have keeping the pressure on City for the title on their minds. They're favourites to beat Chelsea in the Final anyway, even if they don't plan their entire week around preparing for that game, and regardless of how they rotate their team, they've got enough to bring into the side and Villa have little enough about them overall that I think it's very unlikely Liverpool will drop points.

Off topic I know but Chelsea have gained one point in six and as I've said Liverpool have lost a little potency but I still expect them to beat Chelsea. Villa? Gerrard connection? I'm so so on this.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think the Gerrard thing is all narrative and not much else really, especially when Aston Villa have nothing to play for. Obviously if Villa get a result, there will be all sorts of headlines about Gerrard coming back to bite Liverpool and no doubt countless memes about him costing Liverpool another title accompanied by images of him slipping over all those years ago. I suppose I can see how the potential of that adds to the excitement but meh, it doesn't do that much for me. I won't be going out of my way to watch this anyway. If I see that Villa are giving them a game I might throw it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight I think Matip comes back in, Tsimikas possibly for Robertson, Keita for Henderson or Fabinho and Jota for one of the front three. I don't see any more than that tbh.

Lucas Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I don't quite know where Salah's head's been at the last few games but if he could kindly smash it tonight, I'd be most appreciative. I got a few mini leagues riding on that magic man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted May 10, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2022 Liverpool will miss Thiago tonight. He's been in good form recently running games. Don't think Jones or Keita can fill the gap as well as he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
