Has last season not taught you two games aren't the same ffs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a couple of good results in these games and then its “our title challenge is back on” from all the doom and gloom “we will struggle to make top 4 playing like this” merchants.

Wouldn't put it past us to taken points from either Liverpool today or City when we play them. Just have a feeling.

Not really huge loss aside Alisson.

Firmino is, he's doesn't score that much but he's a big reason Liverpool as a team do.

The hilarious thing is by their same logic how will Liverpool score past Silva and Rudiger when they couldn't score past CB less Leicester.

Really? You can say this about every top national team in Europe but not Italy. And that's why most people wanted them to win. Basically just Jorginho and Emerson are Brazilians but also with Italian heritage. 

What if we draw a Danish side and lose to them ? 
Everybody gets sacked !
National teams are a different proposition and their clubs are awful. Old peoples homes.

Not really huge loss considering Jota has been good whenever he replaced Firmino.

Aye thats it.

Leicester game is actually the perfect example, they were very depleted against a full strength Liverpool but showed that it just takes a lot of grit and that bit of quality in the final third to beat them.

I tend to remember us showing that grit at Anfield with 10 men at the beginning of the season when we had arguably the toughest start of the any top 6 side.

Best team we can field atm

Forget about the rest it's a formidable front line, frightens the life out of me.

Can see them causing us massive problems.

That's the thing we've lost that grit recently. Know had stupid amounts of injuries but performance wise usually after scoring it falls apart and end up chasing after the other team even though looker in control.

Be amazing to get something from this and no reason we can't. Depends how we approach it and who turns up

[Tomo 21,681]

Apart from Pulisic in over Callum probably the team I'd have picked. Infact it could pass off as our best outside of the wingbacks.

CHO needs to sit out. Squandering far too many chabces.

He had COVID IIRC and Tuchel said he was struggling despite returning to training. Plus not like we can really count on him.

We have had a lot of games, a lot of injuries/covid/changes.

Today’s team looks a lot more familiar to close to being our best bar James & Chilly really. And possibly Jorgi but he needs a rest.

We can definitely get something as long as we show up, I really don’t think that Liverpool side barring their front 3 are that much better than us. They’re missing Robertson, Matip, Alisson and Thiago in there.

I give Pulisic a chance. When we play in counterattack, he is comfortable. He love these games 

Come on Captain America!!!

And not fluff up chances. Which is something been good at recently.

Seems ages since we beat them at the Bridge league wise..May 2018. Lovely. Been a while then
