Enjoy bud, fingers crossed.
I'm confident of a win, which to be honest worries me.

 

[Pabbers]

We are too confident.

 

[Pootsy]

No Ekitike. Full Achilles rupture being reported. Out until 2027.

 

[degsy]

Just another game and should be treated as such.

...but with even more application and Intensity

If we step it up - they'll step down

I'm going to be fuming if me don't beat them this week.

There are no excuses. They are a really poor side right now.

But they are not a poor side. They are poor in comparison to themselves last season and to teams above them this season. They are still a top part of the table side who blow hot and cold, much like Chelsea. We will have to play very well and be clinical to beat them. Winning is well within our capability but unless we are on it then it could well go the other way. They have some very good players.

We can't just turn up.

All the bad decisions against us merge into one in my memory - what previous do we have with Kavanagh?

Can only really remember him sending Carlo off

Yes mate, what could go wrong?

They have Ekiteke out
Isak unfit after a long layoff
Salah out of sorts and maybe won't even start
Their team are out of form
We are inform
We are closer to them that we have been in many a year
Their manager is a fraud
VVD has fell of a cliff
Konate was never on a cliff to fall off it
Macalister is massively overrated
Gakpo is crap

All of the above points to a comfortable Liverpool away win.

Ev-er-ton......

For whatever reason Konate and St Virg usually struggle with Beto, should be loads of little pockets for KDH.

They can also be gotten at, at right full.

 

[ToffeeScot]

Everything is aligning for us which is eh.

Just beat this utter bunch of Warrick Hunts

Think he was on VAR when Rodri did a basketball-style crossover in the box and we didn't get a pen

 

[Furey1878]

The players really need to set a good tone early doors, it will get the crowd onside and Liverpool will struggle to deal with it.

Despite our desperate lack of wins in this fixture over the last decade and a bit, they themselves have struggled away to us in that same period.

Beto and Dewsbury-Hall will be key for us pressing them. Ndiaye has been unlucky with injury in this fixture so far, he's more than good enough to sit their defense down so I'm praying for some magic from him on Sunday.
