ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[havrey0123]

No we aren't, We away at a ground we've failed to win at in over two decades, I wouldn't trust us to win there if they played the womans team

With ancelotti, a man who has openly said how to stop them and has a history of getting results against them.

 

[MikeH72]

I'm going for 3-1. Richy (2) and I think Kean will get one late on.
Klopp has already said he will rest while we will go full strength, this is a massive game to get some momentum and confidence flowing through the team.
We are favourites for this game, make no mistake about that.

You dull little chode.

He's managed to beat them with good players, He's now got Delph,Gyilf,Davies,Morgan,Iwobi,Keane,Coleman to deal with

We go into this game as outsiders for a reason, We are serial bottle jobs

I've seen a few screenshots of this thread circulating on Facebook and Twitter as evidence of us being "bitter"

Then point them to the larger one about us on RAWK

Looks like the red fans and media are making up an under dog story. Down to their bare bones aparsntly and we have a fully fit and fresh 11.

They have one first team player out injured and have had an extra days rest in between each festive fixture.

Mean while we're missing an eintire midfield.

There's a multitude of reasons for this: to highlight their brilliance if they win with a weakened side or create mitigating circumstances if they were to actually lose.

However, the pièce de résistance is the media's desire to sound how brilliant their campaign is, where they need to rest players due to their 'terrible' circumstances.

All these games won and all these success stories, but they've had to do it with such a hectic timetable and such a depleted squad, when it's not like that.

They could field a nigh on full strength team tomorrow (only Fabinho from their ideal XI) if they chose, but they are choosing to rest for their own benefit.

Rightly or wrongly, they do not see the FA Cup as a priority and, no matter how difficult it is to say, they probably don't see us as the most difficult opponent.

They are playing incredibly well and their record speaks for itself (you've got to be magnanimous), so I don't see the need for all these media hardship stories.

They'll play a weakened side because they can and not because they have to, and I don't see why they don't acknowledge the support they've had - however small.

I still don't think he will rest as many as is being banded about

Tbh I shouldn't be getting bothered by their exceptional PR and media team.

All that matters is us winning, once they're out the cup we can beat any of the teams left imo. Add that to a few fortunate draws.

COYB.

He will rest either Salah or Mane, just one of them and it will be branded about as a weakened team.

 

[PhilM]

I mentioned earlier in the match thread, I don't suspect the whole sale change like some are suggesting, but I can see a minimum of four or five changes.

For me, I feel that it will be two of the front three, one of Henderson or Wijnaldum and maybe one or both the full backs.

And that team is still easily capable of beating us

Gutted this isn't at Goodison

It's still a very strong side and one that we respect, however I'm more worries about our own mental limitations rather than their starting XI.

Back them at 11/10 then.
First time odds against at Anfield domestically apart from Man City in 2 years it must be..
If he names a strong side cash out before a ball is kicked for a profit.

( I think we do them for what it's worth, but I always get carried away when we play them )

I've been toying with the idea believe me

This. We aren’t beating the RS with our current squad. If City etc struggle against them, we haven’t got a chance.
