ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

[EverBlue92]

I've said it before but we will get atleast a draw next week. I honestly hope they go into this as overconfident as their fans are as they will definitely get a bloody nose.

No Henderson also means that their midfield 3 of Milner, Keita and Wijnaldum atleast 2 of those will have to start the derby you would imagine which means come 70/75 minutes they'll tire after a midweek game in Paris where they will need to press non stop if they hope for a win.

Actually can not wait as I feel like its written in the stars that we'll end their unbeaten run and their "title race" all in one go.

I think it's good. He's limited, but he's a player who can galvanise them. Wont make that much difference, but it's a plus of sorts, IMO.

The sensible and of their fanbase (yes there is one) all speak very highly of Henderson. Most of the more idiotic end seem to slate him. A lot of their poorer performances have been without him and they said to me that on Hendersons return they would pose more attacking threat as he moves the ball forward quicker.

Don't know how true it is, but his return seemed to help them today. We will see on Sunday. Could be a big loss for them though.

Am I the only one who's pessimistic about next week? Though at least we have a team who won't just roll over and let Liverpool walk all over them.

Agree with that. He is pretty basic but offers some presence in the middle.

Anyone think Silva might go 3-5-2 for this one and drop Bernard?

Pickford

Keane Mina Zouma

Coleman Gana Gomes Digne

Siggurdsson

Walcott Richarlison

That back 3 would certainly stop their attack and when on the counter we could look to hit with pace.

I think he fits what they need very well. I also think he's a deceptively good leader, seems a down to earth fella who doesn't want to make it all about himself. I'm very pleased he's not playing.

 

[EverBlue92]

We have quite a few players who could make themselves heroes and score their first goal for us at the pit.

Richarlison
Bernard
Gomes
Mina
Digne
Zouma (if we go 3 at the back)

Milner and Van Dijk will take up the faux hard man pretend to be Gerrard role for the day with Henderson out. Great opportunity for us to burst their myth before Jose does it.

Not at all, I think they'll beat us handily. Just not as handily as usual.

Would love PSG to take Milner out. Without him they would be soft as anything in the middle.

IN THEORY we had the better teams both times we got annihilated at Anfield under Martinez.

I will never be expecting anything from an Anfield derby. Even if we win 10 in a row.

I used to expect a result but that’s been literally kicked out of me, let’s hope though .

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Don't be fooled by them dispatching Watford with ease. This Watford side lost to Newcastle last time out.

Man City just swept aside an in-form West Ham.

The title race is over. The sooner they come to terms with it, the sooner they can concentrate on trying to win the FA cup or something.

This was the game they would supposedly slip up in though.

 

[Harryflashman]

Do you know what , whatever happens there almost certainly worse has and I’ve been sat there for it . So I’m hoping against experience and expectation
