markjazzbassist Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 At this moment I would take a draw for sure. I’m not sure we have the firepower to have a go. Same lineup as last week with lookman in for Bernard. Pickford Coleman keane Mina digne Gomes gana walcott Gylfi Lookman Richarlison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 This will be a closer game than most imagine. I can see Liverpool ekeing out a win due to a controversial refereeing decision but we have a real chance to grab at least a point. Looking forward to it myself and not scared in the least (which is very different from my mood last season). I agree that Lookman absolutely needs to start, but at the expense of Walcott and not Bernard. Lookman and Bernard would torment Liverpool’s rather stodgy defence. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Really think we can have a go at them, although I don’t rate Henderson one bit, he’s a derby type player. I cant see our boys from Barca not backing themselves to win, along with richarlison and the form Gylfi is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 With Henderson out they have abit of a midfield nightmare at the moment don't they? Milner injured, Hendo out, Kieta injured and the Ox a long term injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I hope to see the same team start that did against Cardiff. We are building momentum and although some struggled last time out it's imperitive that we build consistency. Bernard might have struggled, but we've been getting the results with him in the team and if he has a good game this weekend that could kick start him into gear. Walcott has a game changing moment in him, and is working hard. Lookman will be keen to come on to change things if push comes to shove - a decent weapon to have off the bench. Although a win is unlikely, would I hell as like take a draw, and neither do I think would Marco. Excited, terrified and optimistic all at the same time. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 They play with width with the full backs getting forward Coleman needs to be on his game if Walcott plays he will track back, not concerned with Digne he’s class but if Bernard plays he needs to do his share of the dirty work, I can see us getting at them through the middle with Gomes Gylfi and Richarlison. It’s looking like it could be one of the better derby games we’ve seen for a while, were definitely in with a shout. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 This feels like our best chance of getting a result there for a long time but that probably still means we will get beat by 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vranny Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I’m actually excited to play them, possibly for the first time ever. We’re in a good run of form, I’m feeling a lot of confidence in our team and I think it’ll be a good opportunity to see where our squad is at.

Finn balor Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Good write up. It’s frustrating to think of the dropped points early in the season. We could have been right in the mix. We seem to have got our defence sorted now and we don’t seem a team to crumble like we have done in previous derbies. I would kill for a win I really would. Imagine that with two games at home to come? Liverpool are not unbeatable. We need a strong ref for a change and a bit of luck nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 sadly i will miss the derby. i will be attending a christmas brunch at the german cultural center with my extended family (side note, we are not german). it's a tradition we do every year. the kids meet santa, and we all eat a massive spread of food and drink a bunch of beers. breakfast always seems better when alcohol is involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I personally don't mind 3 central defenders and 2 wing backs the key is you need the the man in the middle to run the back 3 and have good pace, then the 2 wing backs need to have good engine's on them. But if you get the balance right it can be more attack minded then to defensive it becomes defensive when the wing backs don't push forward enough.

nyblue23 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I really do think we have a chance even though Salah and Mane seem to be finding form again. I think for the first time in a long time we’ll have the advantage both defensively and in midfield; it’ll depend on whether we can frustrate their front three and whether or not, as others have said, we have a good officiating team. Salah and Mane are both calm heads, and I fear that if the match gets testy, it’ll benefit them far more than us. Where normally I’m all for scrappy matches against Liverpool, for once, I’d hate any of our players to get heated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
