Smal Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 Barnes wasn't great last week (although actually when you look at the data he was our most dangerous player) but you can't take the only reliable goalscorer out of the team imo. Has to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlover24 Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 Tactically we have all the right players to play a false nine, just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 1 hour ago, Andy84 said: He’s allegedly not with the squad Twatter says his missus is about to give birth and he has not travelled. It's all set up for NUFC to dominate the middle, without needing to turn it into a "get into them" type fiery one where the referee may intervene on guess who's side. We have pace galore to kill them in this. Like Semenyo last week, but with three of them. Even Harvey Barnes is no slouch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three players bombing forward on the counter and then cutting it back to Ramsey to make it 4-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 (edited) As long we get into them for 90 mins+ I don’t really care about the result. Show a United front and play with pride and bravery. Crowd rocking throughout. Edited August 25, 2025 by Kanj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurentRobert Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 Could Elanga play down the middle? I feel with Liverpool's right back woes Gordon could do some serious damage on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 I think we just need to give the front 3 a chance TBH, they've only played one game. Hopefully they will be running different angles required to get themselves in behind Liverpool on the break. Although hopefully Liverpool's possession will be ruined by the general atmosphere and hostility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 Livramento and Barnes can cause enough havoc with their right back situation. Just rotate Gordon in a few times a half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 Can't pin down my feelings about tonight. It feels like it should be one of those epic occasions where the crowd and team match each other for intensity and get a big win, but we haven't got a fucking striker. But we know their defence can be got at and I do think we'll score. Set pieces could be the difference. 1-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is fairly immobile and I think would have worked in our favour for when we have the ball. He got the better of Bruno at Anfield last season. Then roles reversed in the final. Guessing Gravenberch just comes in for him with Slobberdog and Wirz more advanced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 Any player out for them is a help. He’s a bit of a creative spark for them. Weakens them a little bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 The ambivalence of excitement and trepidation, I'm not confident of a win but I hope we give them a game at least, a hell pit of noise and disdain from the crowd and intensity and aggression on and off the ball, don't give them an inch, don't let them settle. Hit them fast, hit them hard, send their wingbacks home crying and all 10 outfielders bruised and battle scarred. We've got to let them know they're in a game and we won't make anything easy for them. I have zero doubt Howe will have us fired up for this, there's no shortage of rage bait available to fuel the fires. I just hope someone, anyone, has their shooting boots on tonight because it's got to come from somewhere! An ingenuitive set piece might be our way in.
