Liverpool vs. Newcastle United: 26/02/25 @ 20:15 (TNT Sports)


Recommended Posts

This is a game we're not favourites to win, so hypothetically and unethically speaking, field the kids, Sunday league tackles only. Secure the cup in March. Job done.

One positive for this is our left hand side is really strong when everyone is on it. Tonali back in should give us a bit more balance on the right too. If we can cause TAA problems and try and flood their right hand side like we did against Forest in the first half, we can stunt their progress. Interested to see what Slot goes for on the left hand side to help out, I'd imagine Gakpo if he's properly back, but there's been Diaz, Gakpo, Jota and Jones filling 2 positions of late. Diaz, Gakpo, Salah and Szob would be their strongest 4 I'd say.

I think any team finds it hard if you can sit back and park the bus, just don't think we are set up that way, and our players would struggle to implement it effectively. We always seem to get stuck in no man's land, neither defending well or attacking.

Yeah not suggesting it's the way to go for us, whatever tactic we choose it's obviously going to be a super tough game, that said we are 6/1 with the bookies to win not 60/1 :) We are good enough to beat anyone if we play to our best and things go our way, let's see what happens.

Not many players in the world are "top top World Class". Salah is definitely one of them.

 

 

Szoboszlai and Gravenberch are easily two of the best midfielders in the league though.

Sure but if you think of all the title winning teams they've usually had at least one midfielder at that level right? None of Liverpool's midfielders are, Gravenberch wasn't deemed good enough to get in Bayern's team, or Klopp's Liverpool team. Everything is going pretty much perfectly for them this season, time will tell if Gravenberch can reach the levels required to be constantly winning trophies at the very top and be a mainstay in the team.

I can only think of Rodri :lol: Liverpool didn't have a world class midfielder in 2019/20 either.

If Forest lose as well, won't be disappointed if we rest a couple of players tonight but keep the scoreline credible. We don't have the squad depth to go all guns blazing - Brighton and cup final are priority.

If Slot’s ban had started tomorrow then he’d have missed Wemberlee - cheating cartel tossers!

Surprised more hasn't been made of this, he got sent off two weeks ago. Its absolutely no coincidence at all the ban starts today so he got to be in the dugout for two tricky away games at Villa and Man City, the ban then starts two weeks later to ensure he only misses two home bankers against us and Southampton meaning he is back from his ban for the final.
