The Prophet Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Sounds like Konate and Jota could be back for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Thankfully under Howe it's rarely if ever a case of [other team's winger] vs Burn, it's usually vs Burn, Joelinton, and Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this game with the lack of options available, wouldn’t be shocked so see Gordon start on that side though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Is Willock definetly out? Missed his injury so wasn't sure if he walked off, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Was mentioned as a hamstring injury so imagine he’s out for weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 It felt like the Wilson knock sounded a bit precautionary so he might make the bench for this. 4-2-3-1 for me. Lots of pace to break with between Isak, ASM, Almiron & Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a good team regardless of recent form. Feeling a bit more confident when I found out it was safe to play Joelinton. Still a bit worrying that a few others dropped like flies during the last game and Wilson didn’t even make the squad. They’ll be thinking they are are playing us at the right time and rightly so.

The Prophet Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Liverpool have been absolutely pony away from home of late. Their defensive numbers have been alarming for a while, but their attacking output has fallen off a cliff too. We're not in the best form but I don't think we'll lose. Could quite easily see another draw though. Edited February 12, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Really interested to see what Eddie does here. Players look knackered and there's a few that are carrying knocks. Even if they are somewhat fit will he want to risk the likes of Wilson and ASM and not have them as options for the final? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I tend to be overly positive anyway, but this could be just the opposition we need, a defensively suspect team who will be playing to win and not setting up in a low block. We've only conceded two in the last six, both flicked on corners that can be worked on in training. There's no reason to suggest Liverpool will do something Arsenal and Man U couldn't do against us. On the off-chance its a case of either/or and risking injured players, then by all means write this game off and go for it in the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Gordon is cup tied so 100% has to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 If they’re fit I’d go: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Joelinton, Gordon, Isak, Murphy, Wilson. I think if there’s any doubt over ASM and Miggy I’d hold them back. Similarly if there’s any doubt over Wilson I’d put Isak up top and bring in Fraser and move Gordon centrally.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 If target is available I’d go for him and ASM. I might even rest Miggy and start Gordon on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 According to Howe, Willock was the only "concern" after the game. I'd like to see something like...

The Prophet Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Had a look at their injuries for this one. Seems that Thiago and Diaz are definitely out. Konate is doubtful. VVD, Firmino and Jota are back in training as of last week. Edited February 13, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) We've over a week until the final after this so go full strength. No good reason to be resting our best players. Obviously there's a risk of injury and suspension but we're also in the race for Champions League football and there's a chance for a massive confidence boasting win here for the final too.
