Pre Match - Newcastle (a) - Sun 16:30

[dogboy]

Expecting a loss so would take a point now.

How come?

 

[Dreambeliever]

How come?

Newcastle are a strong dice who play fast attacking football. I can see them running through the gaps we still have.

 

[Markeh]

When do we find out the outcome of the appeal?

Newcastle are a strong dice who play fast attacking football. I can see them running through the gaps we still have.

We can still win the jackpot if we play our cards right.

 

[StevieM]

When do we find out the outcome of the appeal?

Monday, knowing the FA.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Not for me at all - not for this one, though I agree Nunez pace is an asset on the left and Thiago might be good if Nunez was playing there.

Jota is our best presser and his that and his intelligent movement and ability to find space would be essential with Gakpo dropping deep to help out the MF.

Also - if it’s Jota - he’ll invert and Jones is better at dropping out wide and pressing than Thiago.

Thiago will sit a little deeper than Jones and use passing to unlock space rather than movement- which means Robbo will be needing to get further up the pitch our Jota will get isolated.

Besides… Thiago’s dead.

a dead man can be a very dangerous man.

 

[Brizzle]

Battle of the scousers will be tasty if Gordon starts LW for Newcastle in this one.

We need to flood the midfield and cut off their supply from Bruno & Tonali. Salah against Burn could be epic in our favour if we play wisely to feet and into gaps. This game is very winnable but we need to avoid suiciding ourselves by over committing and playing sloppy passes.

 

[tomasjj]

Isak is a handful. Agree with strangling their midfield.

 

[Buddha]

Both Diaz and Trent took part in full training today...

 

[tomasjj]

our appeal was successful, and macca can play

 

[Bradley]

Alexis Mac Allister red card OVERTURNED

• August 22, 2023
• This Is Anfield

Alexis Mac Allister‘s red card against Bournemouth has been overturned upon an appeal from Liverpool to the FA.

Fuck yeah!

 

[tomasjj]

what about the ref's? any punishment?

 

[Modo]

Get in!

 

[mark1975]

what about the ref's? any punishment?

Don't be silly.

 

[binomial]

It was always gonna be overturned.

Every man and his dog including the guys sat in the FA with their cheap tacky suits knew it wasn’t a red. You’d be disingenuous to let it stand.

 

[Brizzle]

Boom. Endo Mac & Szobo to start in midfield please.

 

[localny]

our appeal was successful, and macca can play

I'm stunned! And gives me faith.

 

[Hansern]

Not a good look for Tierney who was on VAR duty. Lolz

Agreed! His aforementioned and hypothetical LFC animus might be seen as a little more real

 

[Red Bird]

Not a good look for Tierney who was on VAR duty. Lolz

It has hardly ever been a good look with him but he keeps getting involved in our matches.
