Alisson and Fabinho return to bolster Liverpool defence as Tuchel recalls Werner

Would do if I hadn't already triple captained him this week. Normal (C) will have to do

considering but it would mean transferring out Foden or Sterling, not guaranteed 180 and a bit sideways with other fish to fry

Don’t think he plays vs Southampton - just came back from injury so doubt he will play four straight games

yes I am - not sure when else I could use it

Thiago slows them down imo.

some players having a poisoned mind there...

Confidence to get forward in numbers, at pace

I might be overly pessimistic, but I'm becoming acutely aware of how Dortmund collapsed at the end of Klopp's reign there.

Unsettled midfield along with defence can’t help.

They've been playing the same Salah-Mane-Firmino attack for quite some time and other teams have figured out how to defend them.

Henderson out from midfield is huge

But truthfully they have been on the slide since first lockdown - gets lost slightly with the huge lead they had built up in league. It's been an ongoing process

Also don't buy and you stand still and if you stand still you go backwards. Jota and Thiago don't count

No crowd to pull them through the slump is making a difference I'd say.

No crowd. Their success was built on Anfield. Obviously it affects all teams but the likes of Liverpool and Sheffield were affected more.
Injuries throughout squad meaning players become more fatigued. There’s also a big difference between Van Dijk and Matip compared to Kabak and Phillips/Williams

Teams have realised all they have to do is hand them possession. Missing their CB’s probable limits their full backs from bombing forward like they did last season. That what I’ve heard on here anyway, and it makes a little sense. Hunger, is so important to.

1) They play a high defensive line and without VVD and Gomez they can't play that line as well as usual so they are on the back foot
2) Firmino has been steadily regressing for the past few years
3) Thiago doesn't have the oomph (mobility, agility, tackling, pressing) that Henderson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Keita bring
4) TAA has been targeted defensively by opposition teams and that is hurting them defensively and offensively
5) Disruption (number of changes) to the team every week due to injuries
6) No crowd at Anfield (no '12th man')

I know this won’t be popular, but Pool lost some humility in the last few years too. City, just go about winning in a gentlemanly fashion, where as Pool are in your face.

Looks good for me... Bruno can still be dangerous though

Not sure keeping Rashford will help you climbing ranks.

Hope you’re still around next season 🙂

An city are still selling seats cheaper than United

Lol Liverpool fans thinking they have a chance in Europe hahahahah

Lampard to take the credit

Oh boy....you still have him?

Keep all three an save for a rainy day.

Save.

This is next lvl!

I love risks, but this is toooo heavy

Pts?

B

Who are you benching him for this week if you save a ft?

Currently thinking of Saka so doing it this week because of nice game at weekend

B

Refs on his team all night tbf.

it wasn't intentional

He could have killed him

Joelinton might be available

Mbappe was never going to join Liverpool.

Players still joining Utd and they haven’t done much for years now

Its between Jota and Raphinha for Barnes replacement

Yes. But might not until he hits the ground.

You're onto something there

Aiming for that something like that back 4. Think big bat the back could be the way ahead

Get him in and watch my boy Rich wreck that clean.

Won’t play Liverpool every week.

I know that feeling, i had his 1 point around 2 years ago when he was subbed on 59min

9, without hits

10 or 11

Probably 8

Teams simply sit back and Liverpool has no idea how to get in behind. Just passing around the box, transitions when they do occur are too slow and with little support

Escaped with a couple of pens today - Mane could easily have gone down and that handball, But they are looking worth an investment
