Only rarely ventured outside of city center to be honest, maybe that's why

Only rarely ventured outside of city center to be honest, maybe that's whyIf the game is on today...
OnanaBruno false 9 with runners (hopefully with a point to prove) would be better than Hojlund losing every ball to VVD. Similar setup to how we played Everton (with Zirkzee false 9).
Mazraoui Maguire De Ligt
Amad Ugarte Mainoo Dalot
Rashford Bruno Garnacho
Why are we seeing Rashford in people’s lineups? Several throughout this thread. Coincidentally, the last few posters all had Ronaldo in their nameSo it’s going ahead or decision still to be made?
Would rather we just got this fixture out of the way
No final decision yetWe haven’t scored at Anfield in 5 years. Surely that can’t be true?Was studying abroad as an eramsus student there. Hearing this reaction a lot, I actually really liked Leicester as a student city
Only rarely ventured outside of city center to be honest, maybe that's why You basically stayed within the perimeter. You could have been the star of your own Resident Evil game if you’d ventured out!
It's true. If we score today it should be treated as a win regardless.
anybody starting a sweepstakes as to which of our players will be wearing gloves ?
Extra brownie points to any of our players who wear short sleeves
Without Lingard, it's even worse. We should really bring that promising youngster back.
Decision at 12 I heard
I was going to put a bet on 6 - 1 but after seeing this there is no way I’m betting on us to score.
Yes, because our front 3 is a bit useless at scoring goals, none of our center forwards know how to create chances for themselves and we've missed a stupid amount of chances (particularly the Bournemouth game).12 seems unfairly late to call it off, I think it’ll go ahead now.To avoid fixture congestion, fairest thing is to call it a draw and move onI think we're going to get badly beaten.
One goal in the last 9 games at AnfieldI hope he’s learned from last week and opts for a strengthened midfield again
————————Onana————————
——Yoro——De Ligt——Martinez——
Mazraoui—Mainoo—Ugarte—Dalot
——Diallo——Bruno——Garnacho—I think this will go ahead
Well we’ve scored several goals with other combinations. I think Carragher nailed it the other day when he said they’re just too defensive.
Our problem is we seem to rely on the wing backs for creativity, since we struggle to play through the thirds via the middle.
Can't see him not starting Maguire going by comments this week. Unless he's injured.
FeeeckYou guys worry we haven't scored at Anfield, I worry we haven't scored at all :/
You think so ?
I've always maintained that defensive midfield is the role best suited to Martinez's qualities as a passer and controller but in this current formation of a 2-man midfield, I wouldn't play him in midfield because the role requires a lot of the physical and athletic qualities that make him also ill-suited to be a 3rd CB in the formation. To me his perfect role would be as the sitting DM in a 3-man midfield.
Exactly. We can't score anywhere.
Like really badly.
I knew it was bad but how awful is this. Absolutely ridiculously bad.I bet we’ve barely mustered shots on target in those 9 games too. Feels like under a succession of managers we’ve been beaten before we’ve turned up or absolutely delighted to get out of there with a 0-0 on a few occasions.
I’m not expecting it to be today but at some point we’re going to need to find a mentality shift in these big games.
That bad?
I don’t think so, because we don’t really have anyone to play at your question mark spot. Our two rotational options have both fallen out with the manager/aren’t even in the team
Like bad bad.So long as we have 11 players who empty the tank, take their chances, make the tackles count and don't give away the ball, we have this.
It couldn't be badder !!
Pitches in the PL nowadays are in general never likely to be the problem in fairness- Status
