Pre Match Pre Match - Milan (A) - CL - Tuesday

[Brizzle]

Time to see if we a) bounce back and b) address fatigue in players ahead of next weekend.

Slot hasn’t yet rotated any player other than Quansah/ Konate. I think we need to leave a couple in Merseyside who have flown a shit load recently - Macca & Diaz. At worst bench them.

Alisson

Trent
Quansah
Virgil
Tsimikas

Jones
Endo
Gravy

Salah
Nunez
Gakpo

Chiesa to get on the bench.

Feels unlikely but if we go unchanged we’ll end up fucked for Bournemouth.

Milan are arguably worse than Forest.

 

[Fabio]

Milan are still Milan. This is a huge test for slot now

 

[MomoWASright]

If Chiesa only has 45 minutes in him, I’d start him and then take him off. Otherwise, I think that’s the side that should start. Bradders to start next weekend with Konate back in the side.

 

[Brizzle]

I think we might be in for a tough period here watching Slot learn on the job. At his last place he probably only have 3/4 players away on internationals.

On top of this though the players also need to take responsibility as we had the chances we needed to win yesterday.

 

[jexykrodic]

Perfect next game for the players to show their mettle.

 

[Modo]

Well Milan won't sit back. So this could be a comfortable win.

For them?

 

[Modo]

For them?

No as I explained in the the Forest thread. We want teams to attack us, like 80% of our goals this season have been scored in transition.

We have gone back to Rogers era of piss take in CL of we go with. Slot needs to start strong in CL, currently to he is pretty much an unknown on European creds.

 

[Modo]

Call me fickle, but I'm for any line up without Salah in it. The old timer can't play twice a week, despite his lovely crafted abs.

We’re gonna smash em to bits

The Trey is gonna have a game that’ll make us all explode in our pants.

Trent Jones Szobo and Salah can all stay behind in Kirkby too.

Overtime practicing basic passing. Would do them the world of good.

 

[SummerOnions]

Would change max 3 players to keep some familiarity


Ali
Trent Konate Virg Robbo
Grav Jones
Chiesa Szobo Diaz
Nuñez

Milan are still Milan. This is a huge test for slot now

Was huge test even if we lose a game

What a cunt.

Absolutely, but now he's got more pressure. First game in Europe could go either way. After a rubbish performance against an vastly inferior side? It doubles it

It's almost like Donovan doesn't actually support LFC! 😂

 

[Hansern]

Chiesa hasnt played since June. He’s not starting this game.

 

[Buddha]

What a cunt.

Please tell me someone two-footed him ‘accidentally’ at some point?

 

[Brizzle]

No as I explained in the the Forest thread. We want teams to attack us, like 80% of our goals this season have been scored in transition.

Also 100% of the goals we have conceded

 

[Modo]

Facts are facts, what can I say.

Has to be better than what we saw of Salah vs. Forrest

 

[Modo]

I have a strong feeling that Jota and Chiesa will work well together

 

[StevieM]

I have a strong feeling that Jota and Chiesa will work well spend time injured together

Fixed

I guess so I mean Elliot playing (as you suggested) with a broken foot hobbling around the pitch on crutches would be a sight to see at least.
