Wallsendmag Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Expecting a defeat without scoring. As long as it's not a rout it's not the end of the world. Hopefully have a few back for Palace and with a few favourable fixtures start on another run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I guess I either have to stay away from all football news and watch the replay tomorrow or just read about it. I have a two hour video conference for work at the exact same time as the game today. *sigh* Edited August 31, 2022 by McDog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I’m not confident we can get anything from this at all. They’ve clicked and we’re patched up without quality in reserve. Reckon it’ll be as regulation defeat there as it comes. Throw in another crap refereeing performance and it’ll be the cookie cutter Anfield experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thought we gave them a proper game last season and were shafted, as usual. I know we're weaker tonight than we would otherwise be, but surely we're closer to them now than we were last season? We ended up with Ritchie at LB after 15 minutes, ffs.

Alberto2005 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Goalkeeper & defence is a lot stronger but I actually think the midfield and attack is probably weaker tonight than last year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Actually this is on cable here so I can watch right after it ends. Seems like the work permit is still pending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 With no Saint-maximin, Wilson, Bruno, probably no Isak, and Burn starting over Targett, this will be a tough ask. I'd be amazed if we get anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztoon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I think at full strength we could nick a draw.. if the lads tonight give them a game and shows heart I'll be happy .. away at anfield is a free hit for anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Targett should start this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 More than likely we lose this with our current injury list but hopefully we can put on a good performance and continue to improve our showings against the top sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Isak to play from start, replacing ASM on left. Anderson to start in second half replacing wood and shifting to a front line of miggy Isak anderson Gonna destroy these smelly bin dippin bandits!

Shak Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Obviously would love to see Isak up top instead of Wood but think we'll see him off the bench and Wood starting. Fraser in for ASM on the left. Same front six as Sunday, otherwise. It's not exciting by any means but I don't hate the idea of keeping ourselves in the game for 60 minutes and then introducing Isak and Anderson from the bench, might be able to cause them a few problems.

The Prophet Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I'd chuck Isak in. At least we'd have some fret in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Isaks pace will be key at getting behind their high line, Miggy as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweMag Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Pope - Trippier, Lascelles, Botman, Targett - Willock, Longstaff, Joelinton - Almiron, Wood, Fraser. ASM, Isak bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Wood feels absolutely pointless. Offers absolutely nothing. Ghosting around. He will start is my guess. Hopefully not many more times after today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Geese Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The Closer you get to kick off the more your hopes increase, Isak and Miggy will have the Scousers run ragged……. Cometh the Hour Cometh the Man……. Its time Big Fella….. DAN BURN? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Boon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Anyone reckon we could get away with playing Schar as a defensive midfielder in a 4-1-4-1 formation tonite? Pope Trippier Botman Burn Targett Schar Willock Joelinton Almiron Anderson Isak Dont look too bad to me. Edited August 31, 2022 by Ken Boon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Wouldn't be shocked to see Howe go for the unpredictable factor and go 4-4-2 with a devilish Isak-Wood combo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
