markjazzbassist Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well it's a week away better start preparing. I'm not looking forward to this at all. Roberto has done pretty horribly in the derby's and i'm expecting us to get walloped. Klopp has his side finally clicking and i think we'll get stomped. I want this lineup Robles Coleman Stones Mori Baines Besic Barry Gerry Mirallas Lennon Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 not really quite a few have proposed him behind the striker over the years as well as the lone striker. I'm sure he has played a couple of matches there already. Did well from what I can remember. He's also played as our main forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 After the high of yesterday, I do NOT fancy our chances, in the slightest. So much so, I think we'll get battered. dlblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Glad Liverpool won last night, gives them something else to think about. Don't think they will have to put much thought into beating us. Klop will want to keep the feel good factor and momentum going ahead of the semi final and there is no better way of doing that than handing out a hiding in a local derby Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Not looking forward to this one at all. Liverpool is hitting form, and their confidence will be through the roof after their comeback on BVB. That said, a good performance here could really get the team kicking on for the end of the season -- still a few positions to fight for.

chalkpie Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Not looking forward to this at all. With the way that we try to play the ball out of the back combined with Klopp's super high pressing on the pitch could mean disaster. I'm talking diarrhea in your brand new custom suit at the most important speech of your career in front of 1,200 people kind-of-disaster. Glad its not me!

I've arranged to go the pub with a couple of pals (very very rarely get out these days!)...obviously they are Liverpool fans. Be good to see them at least!!!

Elston Gunnn Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I assume Coleman is out next match (and probably more). Hope RM doesn't rush Jagielka back in so Stones can move to RB. Prefer to see Connolly or even McCarthy or Besic at RB for this one match. So many injuries, more today. Will either Oviedo or Baines actually be fit for Liverpool? Very glad Barry was rested today. I think maybe he can go all out twice next week. Mirallas still a decent bet to get a goal in any match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Worst time for injuries to be piling up. From Martinez's comments yesterday, the following seems likely: Coleman -- out for several weeks Jagielka and Cleverley -- out for Liverpool, 1 or both probably out for ManU Baines and Lennon -- probably out for Liverpool, both probably available for ManU No mention of significant injury concerns for either Oviedo or Gibson, though both picked up knocks yesterday. So for Liverpool, I'll guess it will be: Robles Connolly Stones Funes Mori Oviedo McCarthy Barry Deulofeu Barkley Mirallas Lukaku Bench: Howard, Galloway, Besic, Gibson, Pienaar, Kone, Niasse, possibly Davies. I hope Martinez uses 3 subs, given the short turnaround before Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he will want a strong side against Liverpool. But the key word is "possible," since injuries will limit a few of his choices on Wednesday night. Martinez did plan to put his strongest possible sides out for this week's two big matches. Injuries threaten to complicate his plans, but not destroy them. He wisely rested Barry and Lukakau against Southampton, and played Barkley only as a sub. McCarthy was suspended, so he rested, too. Baines, Jagielka, Lennon, and Cleverley were rested because of injuries. So really, it's these last four who are questionable for Wednesday night. His earlier comments implied that Jagielka and Cleverley probably won't have recovered sufficiently by Wednesday. Saturday? Maybe. Coleman isn't possible. Gibson and Oviedo were not, presumably, significantly injured, so they're available. That leaves Baines and Lennon as the key question-marks for the "strongest possible side" for the derby. Will it be Baines or Oviedo? Will Lennon start instead of either Mirallas or Deulofeu? Also, will Pienaar get on the field for 15-20 minutes Wednesday, with a view to starting on the left with Baines at Wembley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
