My confidence has dropped a bit seeing the line up. Not as worried about Konate but no Fabinho is a blow.

Oh and this’ll be the day Milner finally gets his red.

Whatever happens today, we’ll beat Spurs next week. They’re so poor.

Same, Fabinho is integral, and that midfield is going to leave huge spaces on a massive pitch. The front three is less of a concern as Jota is a fine deputy and Mane can come on later. However Konate over Gomez is odd. The midfield though..we’re missing our two best in Fabinho and Thiago and this is the kinda game you need them for.

Our midfield has been cut through like a hot knife through butter all season long.

Kane’s defending for that goal was terrible :lol:
Brentford giving a good account of themselves again as well.

And we could have done that with ease with those two on the field. The recovery pace of Keita and Milner is comical and Henderson has been poor most of the season. Milner is playing his third game in a week.
All three will need their best off the ball performances of the season otherwise you’ll cut through us like butter.

Watching Harry Jane's marking of Antonio is hilarious.

Looks like he's trying to walk him down the aisle. :lol:

This fixture is annoyingly the one we always seem to have important players missing for. Klopp knows a thing or two more than me so hoping there’s a plan.

Nervous now without Fab, we’ll need to score something like 4 goals if we are going to win this, midfield scares me.

Yep hit it long and chase since we play a high line. Simple if you execute it. Caught on a counter if you don’t.

Spurs got rid of Jose to hire a Jose clone with no trophies? Zero shots the whole second half by Spurs.

You generally can get a little leeway if you play swasbuckling football but come up short at the final hurdle. Fans wont have it if you are playing ultra defensive boring football looking for 0-0 draws or to sneak a goal and you lose.

Spurs have lost every derby match this season no? Got battered by Arsenal and are at a gd of -3 or something. Nuno could go if the next match is poor and ends in defeat.

I think it’s Rashford and Greenwood stretching us which really concerns me. It’s not as much of an issue on Robertson’s side but the space will be there for Rashford to exploit if United get it right.
Surprised they left Pogba out as his range of passing would be ideal for a game against us.

Wonder who was next one down on their list for manager.

Has Konate played much, that's a surprise for me Gomez hasn't come in.

Yeah Liverpool team for a few reasons isn't as strong as it could be so can see 2-2 draw.

Would feel so much more confident with Fabinho in there. Damm

He’s played two or three games I think. One league game against Palace so far.

Gomez will come in for TAA if we’re winning. Here we go
