Topic: Liverpool vs Sheffield United (Premier League) - 19:30, Thursday 4th April

[1892tillforever]

I'm a bit surprised Tsimikas isn't getting a start here. Joe could do with the feet up before Sunday.

Hopefully Sundays early problems result in a more focused and intense beginning from us. Do that and I'm confident we'll score in the first 20 minutes.

[HardworkDedication]

Hope not! Feel like we've had enough cautionary tales recently playing our two slowest midfielders against countering teams (including being hit in our last two games).

Any midfiled is Mac + Szobo +1. Can't imagine Jones coming in cold to start (though he's done it and been great before) for Sunday, so hopefully it's Elliot

Elliott is slow as well

[classycarra]

Elliott is slow as well

Ha! Are you unfamiliar with the definition of slowest

The only laughable shout is that you think Endo is faster than Elliot!

[elsewhere]

I was looking for 5-0, 6-0 win but after reading some comments, I will settle for a narrow defeat here

whut..?

this is about the most uniformly confident pre match thread I think i might ever have seen!

what comments are you talking about?

Nah the laughable thing in here is no one is surprised that you wouldn't start Endo. Also I think Endo would give Elliott a run for his money!

Quite. Endo allows Mac to play as an 8.

Must have missed the  United thread last season then.. 

[In the Name of Klopp]

I was hoping Mac would get a bit of rest especially with tough ganes coming up.

[Caps4444]

Probably the last chance to make a dent in the GD….yes first win, but we should try and knock a few goals off.

Endo is definitely slower and less dynamic than Elliott. Think your senses are just clouded by feeling you need to try to disagree with me

You make it seem like Elliot starting would be sacrilege. Bizarre that my view of a preferred midfield three gets so under your skin [yet again]. What a weird little man you can be!

Quite. Endo allows Mac to play as an 8.

And? Elliot allows Mac to play as a 6

Some of you guys are so weird and zealously opposed to people discussing football with a different perspective to you. If it's so bad of me to have a preference that Elliott starts in a game over Endo, surely you guys realise you are also committing the same cyber crime by preferring Endo to start over Elliott?

Sold my ticket for this - grieving my late father, sleeping like 14 hours a night (and most of this afternoon too), I'm fucked from it all.

But I'm up for seeing us giving a team a kicking from the comfort of my couch

And Sheffield on paper are just that team.

4-0

Sorry to hear that news Tone mate. RIP to your dad

Hopefully the game tonight serves it's purpose

Sorry to hear mate. Hope we can bring you some joy tonight!

[Cruiser]

9 nil please

[smutchin]

Fantastic to see Ibou and Gravenberch back. And Curtis on the bench! Brilliant.

Just do the job and don’t pick up any more injuries, lads.

It’s obv totally irrelevant what team we play tonight - this will be a romp regardless of who we picked - but im surprised we’ve never had a look at szosboslai off the left (with Harvey off the right)

Sorry for your loss. Extra onus on the team to bring you a moment of happiness tonight. YNWA.

Yeah was hoping we may have a spell of it tonight, to add a small amount of familiarity ahead of old trafford where we'll need to do a better job of not being countered than we did against Brighton. Feels unlikely now (unless Grav only gets a half or so to get minutes in his legs)

[Paul_h]

So, with Endo out, does this mean Mac goes more defensive? Could disrupt us a bit.
have to be careful as they scored 3 goals last time out.

Thinks weve gone strong to maintain rhythm, and also the Mancs play today as well..

[jambutty]

Let's marmalise this lot!

[JRed]

Ffs. Doesn’t  that Lucy Ward ever get a fucking night off!

Yeah we’ve been rubbish with Mac as a 6 this season…

[jillcwhomever]

Come on you Redmen, three points and no messing.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Ugh, Lucy Ward on comms again?
