I've spent months saying how he's been really poor and getting away with murder, suddenly he's found a bit of form and loads of people hate him.

Pata Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 minute ago, Erikse said: I get the choice of Barnes and Elanga at the wings, but then I'd bench Gordon and play Wissa instead. Seems like benching Gordon is never an option, though. I don't want to say too much now, because I would look silly if Gordon scores. Benched in the last game we played.

Keggy_Keagal Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 When has this worked ? When ? Gordon and Van Dijk will have yet another incident and how likely are we to get the decision at Anfield ? Hope I'm very wrong . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 2 minutes ago, Lush Vlad said: Also, just to add. Szob dominated Barnes last game. So I hope we might at least have some fluidity in that front 3. Especially as Elanga has looked better on the left the few times he’s attacked down that side for us. Yeah where is the Pool defensive crisis I heard about?

kenlau88210 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 2 minutes ago, Bimpy474 said: This is very true, with one caveat, two of the said front 3's short passing is some of the worst I've seen from professional players, misplaced 5/10 yards passes that do my brain in. Hope you're bang on though. Gordon and Barnes are not that bad, though I can't argue about Elanga lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 8 minutes ago, Pata said: If Botman got an injury tonight people would say we are playing him too much after coming back from his latest injury. Yeah no issues with rotation and rest, but my point is that Burn shouldn't walk straight back in as the number one choice leaving Botman on the bench. So Burn tonight and maybe Weds but Botman back next weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Slim said: Liverpool is a big game. Not as important as other games we have in our present run of fixtures. Look - I wish Gordon would rediscover the form he had the first full season he with us, but for the majority of the last year - his contribution in terms of goals and assists in the PL has been bum gravy (from open play) And this from a regular England winger.
