Liverpool Discussion

[Stan]

Schmeichel went off with concussion tonight vs Iceland.

Think the game should be called off now. It's only fair.

[Danny]

The governing bodies have really done very little to protect the players from this schedule

[Rick]

RIP Mr. Clemence.

As a precaution.

None of us will have a squad at this rate

It's so sad to see that we have lost another footballing legend in former England international goalkeeper Ray Clemence.

Normally we get an injury to Henderson OR Gomez when Southgate calls them up. Does he get bonus points for returning both injured this time?

I know it’s not his fault but holy fuck it is so annoying. Especially as it’s always England and it’s always those two.

So it's just Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez and Salah confirmed out and there can be less panic?

I think there will be panic until we have as much of our starting XI back. But when you look at it as just four players out (for now) it doesn't look as bad. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Salah is a big miss, carries a constant goal/assist threat. Thiago playing should restore some calm to the team though, if they can get ahead then he'll be frustrating for Leicester to play against. 

Still think this is Leicester's opportunity to get a win at Anfield, Rodgers has show some tactical flexibility this year and I think he can get the better of Klopp here.

Hendo and Robertson are also major doubts. Thats literally more than half our first team, and literally our whole first choice defence. Then there is Ox, then there is Allison, Firmino etc coming back from the other side of the world. 

Let's not pretend that if Leicester don't take something from this game then they have no business being talked about as top four material.

He should get the better of Klopp to be honest, seeing as Klopp has less than half a team to choose from.

Leicester do have some injuries too. I think I was a bit over the top saying it will be a walk in the park, I'd make Leicester slight favourites but no more.

[Rick]

I think we need to pack it in with “if Leicester don’t do x then they are x” they are missing some big players themselves, including their keeper who will likely be out due to getting KO’d last night. We still have  plenty of firepower in this team. Salah is a massive miss for us, but Jota has been excellent and Shaqiri has been fantastic when brought in so he will likely get minutes. Then we have Thiago and Fabinho coming back which is a boost. Henderson and Robertson have nearly a full week to prepare and be treated for these muscle tightenings.

Ox  Come on man, he spends more time in the physio room than on the pitch. 

Sorry but are you actually saying if we can't beat you on Sunday, then we can't be talked about as top 4? As if we've not beaten Man City, Arsenal, Leeds away this season already?

Might I remind you you got absolutely hammered away at Villa earlier this season? Does this mean you're not title contenders? I think not. You definitely will be and I think it's vastly exaggerated from you to say that one defeat on Sunday makes our season a write-off for challenging for top 4.

Are you the only team with injury troubles or players that have gone away with international squads?

[Mel81x+]

We're going to surprise a lot of people is my take on this whole matchup. 

And by that I mean we're not going to just capitulate.

No!!! What are you talking about man!? Ffs 

It’s all one big conspiracy the world is against Liverpool and we need to stop their players playing for England altogether.

The fume on here 

Come on lads fuck me. Im obviously a bit pissed with our luck this season regarding injuries, covid etc... but im obviously intentionally exaggerating saying shit like i have above.

If you look back a few pages i was one of the first to say that whoever finishes above us will win the league. In my opinion we have by far the best balanced squad, by far the best starting 11 and by far the best manager in this country.

All these injuries and Covid etc just proves what I have been saying to all these people saying we need mega signings ... that we don't! We are well capable of fielding a side that can beat anyone in the league, even without VVD, Gomez, Trent, Robertson, Hendo, Thiago, Ox, Salah.

Do you think you need to/will buy anyone in January?

Possibly a short term CB option to get us through till the summer, but that's it. Even if we don't it wouldn't be a disaster I dont think.

That’s just both starting CBS (and one is arguably our best player), probably our most creative player, and also our best attacker!

Why the fuck would there be less panic?

Tbf I’d love it if our English players never ever played for England again
