So did Woy. Didn’t help. And even Sam took some time to get Bolton any good.

I just worry he will try to break some of our players.

 

[Bradley]

Pat, taking it game at a time.

 

[ibromurph]

Next clutch of games are kind to us.

8 days to our next game.

3 days to the game after.

And then 5 games after.

Next game.

And all weak teams (on paper)

Well, not really Southampton. But their defence is slow and play a high line when chasing the game... such that if we score the first goal, could be another cricket score line.

Just hope we win all our 3 and United drop a few points before we play them.

Odds on us firing another Utd manager?

Is that because Klopp binned off the league cup?

Well, yeah, basically.

 

[ibromurph]

Hope not. I always want Ole to be 3 games away from being fired and then turning it around, giving them some (false) hope.

Bloody Hell ! At the same time ?!

 

[Modo]

West Brom managed to hold City at the Etihad, so they're obviously capable in defence and like it always is with smaller teams, they raise their game when they play us.

Early goal and Big Sam's game plan goes down the toilet. I think we can win big against them.

 

[RedStar]

Bloody Hell ! At the same time ?!

Thats when the 5 subs will come into play

 

[MomoWASright]

West Brom were shite in defence and city decided to hit every chance at the keeper

 

[Dreambeliever]

Absolutely this however if a Utd manager is going to get the boot, it might as well be after a humiliating defeat to us!!

It’s actually good at the moment, they are out of the CL, have zero chance of winning the league but because nobody has been consistent this year they are actually pretty close to the top which is masking how shit Ole is. Long may it continue.

City missed a load of changes.

Aha.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

West brom have lost the plot bringing that bloated dinosaur back into the game..." Just lump it one, no messin' abart.."

Can't understand how Sammy Lee fell in with him..

 

[gkmacca]

Can't understand how Sammy Lee fell in with him..

No, that's weird. Must be Stockholm Syndrome.

I so hope we thump them. I'm sick and tired of Allardyce. No doubt he'll start the same old insults (sorry, 'mind games') in the next few days. Is this the second or third time we're the first team to play him after he's been parachuted in? Maybe I'm misremembering, but it feels as though we've had to play him in the past when there's a 'new maager bounce' anticipated.

Probably GK, I do worry though that we may fuck it up because we have a history of screwing it up after a break period. We seem to be much more focussed and energetic when things are just go go go.

 

[King Binny]

 

[gkmacca]

Is Jake Livermore any good? Will his absence make a difference?

 

[Brizzle]

Might be a game we consider Nat in defence for if we expect them to go full long ball. I haven’t watched them much though, do they have a target man?

 

[Brizzle]

Anyway I’d like to see

Alisson
Trent
Matip
Fabs
Robbo

Hendo
Keita
Jones

Salah
Bobby
Mane

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Ox get a start. If they’re parking the bus there’s not a lot to lose by going Hendo Naby Ox in the middle

Dunno anything about them except that they have Charlie Austin and Hal Robson-Kanu.
The only interesting player they have is Pereira imo.

 

[Stevesquash]

After 8 days off, surely he'll go full available strength, which I think, and I think he thinks is:

Ali, tta, Fabs, big Joel, Robbo, our captain, Gini, Jones, Mane, Bobby, Salah.

Echo reporting that Thiago has an outside chance of making the squad.

 

[RedStar]

With Ox and Keita getting mins against Palace pkus Jones getting a rest it does feel like a match where we could potentially give either Gini or Hendo a rest as they have played an awful lof of mins this year so far. Potentially rest Hendo v WBA and the rest Gini v Newcastle

Upcoming fixtures:

Home v West Brom
3 day gap
Away v Newcastle
5 day gap
Away v Southampton
4 day gap
Away v Villa (Fa cup)

Considering the 8 day rest it would make more sense for Klopp to play the in-form strongest team against West Brom.
Rotate against Newcastle.
Full strength against Southampton
Rotate against Villa. Ox and other returning players start.
