Norwich - Liverpool sat 23rd - pre math thread

[Woland]

We get beat 4-3. I dreamt it very clearly.

Mind you... Harry Kewell played the ball across his own box with seconds left and Vardy scored so it may not be entirely accurate.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Hopefully back to winning ways today. Shame Suarez isnt longer a Liverpool player, he loved playing against Norwich.

We'll have to score a couple today as its a given Naismith will score.

I'd go

Ming
Clyne Caulker Sakho Moreno
Can Henderson
Ibe J.Teixeira Lallana
Firmino

Caulker played in the midweek U21 game against Leeds, so maybe he's still working on his sharpness. Not sure if Klopp will use him. I thought Toure and Sakho did well against the Mancs (Sakho's risky forward passes aside), so I don't mind seeing them given another start together.

Also, I think Lallana's unavailable. I'd like to see the three who started against Exeter (Ibe - Allen - Teix) get another run-out for this game if they're still fresh. Reward good performances and also keeps Milner fresh for the scrapping work he'll need to put in against Stoke.

 

[Hansern]

Lallana has travelled with the squad at least

I'm starting to think we could pen a song that's a cross between Eleanor Rigby and Daniel Sturridge's career.

"All the injured people. Where do they all come from?"

 

[beejay]

We should have one eye on the cup semi final on Tuesday.

Rest all the runners.

 

[Athens]

"All the injured people. Where do they all come from?"

"Daniel Sturridge picks up the ice in the room where a physio has been"

 

[hmmmmm1]

Just hope the players are up for it and not another Watford/w.ham performance

 

[gkmacca]

Yep, it's not the odd loss that hurts so much as the fact that we lose by being utterly incompetent from start to finish. They've got to go out and compete.

 

[Hansern]

Rumoured team

Liverpool team to play Norwich: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Emre Can, Henderson, Milner, Ibe, Firmino.

 

[beejay]

No one is scared of us any more, Norwich will fancy their chances today knowing we have little goal threat and are dodgy at the back.

Sigh...

Rumoured team

Why would you play Lucas, when Can, Henderson and Milner are all playing?
Silly decision

Milner on the wing?

Still weird

 

[tombrown]

Confirmed

 

[hmmmmm1]

At least that midfield (on paper) won't be overrun

I'm guessing Lallana is injured and he doesnt want to start Benteke.
I'd have started Teixeira over Lucas to be far. I'd have started anyone over Lucas.

 

[SummerOnions]

Super defensive to play Norwich. Hope Klopp has a plan

 

[Hansern]

Naismith starting. He'll deffo score. No doubt at all about that.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Milner on the wing?

Still weird

I think we get more from Milner when he's wide myself. He can cross for a start.

I'd prefer someone with pace on both sides, but as that's not really an option I think we should play him there more often.

Cross to who?

 

[Hansern]

Cross to who?

Rudd

 

[FoxForceFive]

Cross to who?

Hahaha. Fair point.

 

[beejay]

No creativity in that side and no out balls other than to ship it out to Ibe.

Firmino will have fuck all support so this could get ugly.

No wonder we can't score goals

Get back into bed.

Now get back out again, but of the other side this time.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Friminho will score a hat trick today

Ojo & Ibe.

 

[Hansern]

Ojo isnt ready to start

If he's not injured there's no reason why not. And he's not injured.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Because he's been one of our best players this season
