David Edgar Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I'd be well up for this with a full strength 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So much of this will depend on if we can get it to ASM and how on it he is. A draw would cap off an excellent start to the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think Liverpool are lucky this fixture is coming now with us far from full strength. We'd definitely trouble them if we were. As its looking, just play the system with who've got and see how it goes. If it works, that's great, if not turn the sound off, because it'll just be the media fawning over them. The fake law of "bad decisions even themselves out" says we should get a penalty in this game after the non-awards against City and Wolves, but I fully expect all penalties and red cards to be awarded in their favour.

nufcjb Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I would settle for a draw if Trippier, Bruno and ASM aren't playing. I just hope whatever result we get, the next day, we'll go on and get a top quality CM like Bruno and perhaps another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is thrashing that team. Three of the best players not on the pitch, very little quality in reserve, and still manage 21 shots and the majority of possession at Wolves. We’re organised, dogged and committed. Not wide-eyed, dog shit and should-be-committed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Terrible time to be playing this lot. No Bruno, No Wilson, Tripper potentially out, ASM potentially out. Only saving grace is that they have their own injury troubles but that didn't stop them scoring 9 so perhaps they aren't really troubles at all. I'm not by any means saying we'll roll over because I don't think we will. Just have alot less confidence going into this than I would've 2/3 weeks ago.

astraguy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) We need cover for Bruno/shevley outlet midfield offers nowt without either, infact I'd get fraser starting he can cause damage Edited August 29, 2022 by astraguy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It is disappointing, but I’d much rather be putting out a weakened team away to Liverpool (or Man City) than to anybody else. For example, would be gutted to be understrength home or away to to Man Utd or, to a lesser degree, Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal. Particularly at home. Everything points towards us looking forward to an exciting season where we can consistently compete and genuinely have a chance of beating anyone.

buzza Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I would throw in Isak up front, it will give them something extra to think about and should gee our lot up. Not bothered if chris gets the hump, he is actually better to bring on when we are defending a lead as he is a good presser and can win headers... Would also have elliot anderson on instead of Bruno (if not fit), longstaff really does slow us down and get dispossessed a lot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Feels a lot less like an automatic defeat this season. I wouldn't rule us out from getting something, even with a patched up team. We'll give anyone a game this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Would be nice to think Liverpool have got whatever was in their system out and that we can nick something. As long as we beat Palace on Saturday then we've had a very good start regardless of Wednesday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree , however these have serious quality and will work us to death and win without reply I think . So easy to think defeat after the past few years so having hope is all I wanted . I’ve got that hope now but I just think purely on football terms these will be 2 goals better than us Yorkie . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Are Trippier and ASM even confirmed as doubts (I know they were both hobbling about at times), or is it a case of Doom-Online again? ASM certainly wasn't talking like someone who would miss the game midweek in his post-match interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Aslong we don't get embarassed here it's been a very solid start to the season, 6 points from our first 5 games including City, Liverpool, Brighton and Wolves away isn't bad at all, considering we probably would have won without the key boys missing.

TRon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It's a shame so many key players are going to be missing, I was really fancying our chances against them this time. I mean as much as you can, they would still be favourites obviously, but what we did against Man City shows we can compete with the best now. But we do need our best players.

It really feels like people are desperate to fear the worst, as if we're still under the oppression of Ashley and Bruce. We're a different animal now, I'm confident that regardless of who's out we'll put in a good account of ourselves. 5-0 Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I'm not going to stress too much about this one. We could go there full strength and get soundly beaten. Much like City at home anything other than a comfortable defeat is a bonus. If we have any knocks, rest them for Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
