Pre Match Arsenal (A) - Sunday 16:30

[Frogfish]

I am thinking of about this "from the best result for us" point of view, Klopp might drop Nunez and Bradley for Gakpo and Trent just to have fresh legs. Trent will be fired to take his position back in the team and I favor angry Nunez coming off the bench to not hit the post and actually score.

No chance (IMHO). Nunez is absolutely integral to stopping them keeping a very high line and their CBs+Rice nervous, creating more space and width for our midfielders to operate. No Nunez and we lack pace on the break (even though Gakpo is no slouch) and no Bradley and we can get very narrow as per vs Luton.

It's pretty simple, if you want to see how we play when Nunez doesn't start then go watch Toulouse or USG away....go watch Wolves and Newcastle away, go watch Fulham at home in the first leg. Do fans deliberately pretend to have short memories? It all starts from the top, whoever is up top is setting the tempo and intensity for the guys behind to follow.

Anyone who doesn’t think Bradley and Nunez should start at RB is living in cookoo land.

It's a big issue if Nunez is out, especially without Salah as we lack that genuine pace to pin them back. Hopefully he makes it. And no, Bradley shouldn't be dropped, regardless of how much Trent would reportedly be chomping at the bit. The question for me would be whether to play Szobo or Trent in that right sided midfield slot.

Another possible option would be to go Bradley RB, Trent RCM and Szobo RW with Jota central and Diaz left.

Could be a fun trio seeing them gel together.

I'd prefer Nunez up front TBH. Though 2 players at RB is indeed a very innovative tactic to neuter Martinelli.

Exactly as I had it on page 1 woot woot.

If Nunez isn't available.. this would be my go too as well.

 

[Hansern]

Nunez will play I reckon.

 

[mom]

He will come on as a sub and score three

 

[Modo]

Alisson

Bradley
Van Dijk
Konate
Gomez

Macca
Szobo
Jones

Jota
Gakpo
Diaz

Considering the Nunez situation, I believe Klopp will go with this.

 

[Hansern]

Nunez will play. Its the most important game in, well, whatever. He'll start.

I'd argue that every league game from now until we're out of the league race is important.
Playing the 2nd leg of an EL tie while we're up by five goals, less important.

Yeah, but in terms of Salah not being available its even more important that he can play.
If the x-rays are okay, the scans are okay and its about pain management - then he'll play.
He played 80 mins in pain against Chelsea.

I'm not a doctor but adrenaline helps. I hope he plays, but I'm not sure Klopp wants to take any risks.

Two right backs? With one of them Darwin? That would be a bold tactical switch.

 

[737Max]

He's fine

 

[Modo]

Interesting how they cut the video before we could see his feet.

In white socks and black slippers though.....walking normally up a flight of stairs. Don't think you'd have been able to diagnose much from seeing his whole feet. He's starting.

Fuck off Thiago.

We all know that training clip is from 3 years ago.

Is this another gem from the academy? Never seen him before, looks promising, how do we keep doing it.

Uploaded 49 mins ago. shit is real, I even hear Jarrell's name in the background and he wasn't even alive 3 years ago.

Lol. Well Gravy is in the background so, it's def this year.

You see Trent's reaction in the end...Thiago is fucking quality

Nah not buying it mate, we all know the vid from 3 years ago which has been uploaded in the last hour has been edited to include Jarrell's name and Grav's picture....badly edited might I add. Club just want us to think he's ready but I see right through it, it's over.

This old fella right here...is gonna be the game changer for us between winning us the quad and ending the season empty-handed.
