Please be back for the derby. Please.

I think we can cope without him for Fulham.

We're screwed without him for the derby.

Great goal tonight. I would love to see more of that variety from him. He is the best threat in the league with his head, but the one missing thing are strikes from outside of the six yard box. Very glad we have King to bring in, but we will very much miss his physicality up top if he's out for more than a game. I want to see him wear down Liverpool's 'center backs' the way he did to United's.

Young and fit as a fiddle. Walked off. Hamstring didn't go pop. Was on the pitch at the end strolling around. Think he will be fine for the derby, it's over a week away.

“It looks like he tweaked his hamstring. We’re not quite sure.

“It could be a wee bit of trouble for him.”

Duncan's words, ominously walked straight down the tunnel to get it looked at properly, ice applied and the swelling down I presume. Almost certainly a tweak but playing him with a suspect hammy will be asking for worse.

Trying to be realistic rather than just optimistic, he'll almost certainly miss Fulham, City and the Derby minimum I would think - that's only a week Saturday, could also miss Southampton and Chelsea, but these two are far more realistic targets. With half a season to go it would be stupid taking massive risks.

Although it would be unbelievable and means far more to everyone, management, fans and players to beat Liverpool, three points against the likes of West Brom are worth just as much in the table

Great to see us get through in the end but what a cost to our ambitions in the league!

If DCL not Fit, I want Dunc leading the line against the RS!

See if they dare try to crock James in the opening minutes.....if he's fit.

Hopefully Richarlison can fill in. Seemed to be in the zone last night for the first time for a long while.

 

[Eggs]

......best get that hamstring right and not take any risks even if the Derby is around the corner.

We‘ll find a way to cope, great opportunity for King.

 

[grandjoeblue]

He was fantastic last night. Involved in all 3 goals whilst he was on the pitch.

Just hope he recovers quickly.

Indeed his 50th last night according to Phil Mcnulty's write up.

The more impressive stat is that over half (26) of those have come under Carlo, and about 60% since Silva was sacked. That's 14 months ago, and with an enforced break due to a pandemic. All being well, he will be our top PL scorer at some point, and hopefully go way past Lukaku's record.

We need to get him right and rested up as quickly as possible.

Never a good sign when they say hammy but as others mentioned seem to be fine and smiling etc so hopefully they just weren't taking any chances.

18 goals in 24 appearances.

Should have sent him on loan tho and bought Diego Costa.

I wouldn't necessarily read anything into his body language. He's a proper team player and he's just watched his mates pull off a big win. He's going to be happy even if he's feeling really sore.

That said, I really hope it's very minor and he only misses 1 or 2 games.

Richy to lead the line against Fulham, king on left wing....all sorted.....
