Inside right
Two banks sitting deep; play only on the counter, relying on the infamous moment of individual brilliance?

Lots of talk about the cricket score they'll rack up, can it go any other way?

How would you approach the game?

I'd go full Mourinho for this one, personally. We're not going to do anything in a game of football. Does Rangnick have it in him to be a shithouse?

I'd park the bus. But we aren't good enough nor do we have the right mentality.

Might be able to pelt Klopp as he walks down the tunnel

You never know. Most likely not but we can score goals, at times, and they can miss :lol:

Might as well go full Ole and play that cowardly back five that actually served us quite well. Mind you that relies on Varane being fit.

We'll get a pasting. Only hope is that the CL and FA Cup exertions have taken it out of them. Even if that's the case they'll still win comfortably imo.

No matter how many we have at the back, the way we defend makes it easy for anybody

Yes of course. Is it likely? No. But of course we can. At the end of the day its 11v11 and anything can happen. We have good players but not a good team. Sometimes that can still work out.

Lets hope we end their title challenge and boost our top 4 chances.

Generally of course. But I dread our FBs against Salah and Mane, no matter how defensive we set up

Cant see a hope in hell. Dont think it will be 5-0 but 3-0 3-1 loss maybe if we are lucky. Sounds ridiculous saying a narrower loss as lucky, but thats where we are right now.

Any scoreline better than 0-5 will be an improvement.

So yeh, we may get an improvement.

I'd park the bus. Do we even have players fit to do that though? How do you park the bus with pogba and lingard in midfield?

I honestly don't think Rangnick has it in him yo park the bus, and that's the only way we are getting anything out of this.

I'd put money on us if we had nothing to play for, now I'm not so sure.

Id be shocked if we get more than one shot on target and I'm not trying to be dramatic

Can't see it.

We don't have anyone who can keep the ball under pressure, which means we'll be dealing with onslaught after onslaught. We don't have the defence to deal with that.

If we don’t lose by more than two goals, it will be a great result!

If we park the bus, we might be able to keep the score down to only a 0-3 spanking!

If we get a draw there, it will be one of the shocks of the season considering the circumstances!

Full Mourinho might not be enough.

Ask to borrow Simeone's playbook for this.

Turn the shithousery up to the maximum.
