Forest is gonna do the same thing the mancs did, low block and counter by attacking our full backs. We need to wise up

 

[FreoRicci]

I really hope this isn't the result of Slot's lack of rotation causing early onset fatigue, though I did notice someone posted how low are numbers are for sprints etc.

Or maybe its because our full backs have been rubbish lately.

Most likely with Konate out and TAA and Robertson defending poorly.

You’d think this would’ve been resolved for years now, under Klopp. Nope.

Honestly have to try a back 3 CB to cover for the laziness of TAA. VVD, Konate and Quansah. Can’t see any other way. Teams are just going to keep taking advantage otherwise

 

[FreoRicci]

If City catch us we will realistically probably finish 3rd or 4th.

Gotta keep this 2 game gap

If Man City catch up, that’s the choke of all chokes.

We are not changing our formation. We have adequate cover in Kostas and Bradley. Use them.

Will upset the babies in TAA And Robertson.

Robertson as far as I'm aware doesn't have the ego Trent has. His problem is he's played an insane amount of football for almost 10 years.

 

[Zidane98]

Agree. Gomez while he's happy to stay is great given he covers any of the back four positions at competent level when required. We should definitely being going big for a world class young CB though regardless of what happens with VVD.

What would Robbo be worth? Definitely mid to lower prem teams would be keen.

I doubt Robbo would be interested in dropping to a lower level PL team. Suspect if he were to move on he would be looking at something different overseas. Bundesliga or Serie A perhaps.

 

[Zidane98]

I do reckon Robbo would be happy to stay on in a Milner type role as he enters his early thirties.

 

[Raveneyes]

Celtic would be his dream in his later years. Bit too early for the SPFL though.

I reckon he'd go MLS before back to Scotland.

City are not catching Liverpool - there is zero chance. They are still shite in defence.

It is Arsenal and Arsenal only. Hopefully they keep stinking it up.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

I would go pretty much full strength on Thursday, don’t want to be chasing a goal or two in the second leg.

Roll out the kids v Accrington and give Nunez a chance to actually find some form.

Then best available v Forest.

First big test of Slot’s man management too this week with TAA. Got to keep him invested until seasons end (which would say a bit about him if he isn’t).

Top of Champions League, winning the title race.. gosh he must so bored

Like I indicated, they'll buy whatever to try and catch us whilst we will be hoping we don't get too many more injuries. If we give them an inch, they'll try and take a mile.

No Rodri, No Party. They wont challenge.

 

[jod23]

At home against Manure and you post this. We turned up with the fans belief that we will flog them and we paid a price. Instead of doing the hard yards, we didn’t do the basics right. Nether the less, we move on.

Didnt mean I wasnt annoyed that we didnt absolutely stuff United. It was super annoying, not just because it was United but bigger picture and it was a huge opportunity to further open up the gap. Massively disappointing to play as poorly as we did.

 

[Ocha905]

The cheats are irrelevant. They're getting relegated.

United or City?

It looks to me that Slot wants to play a certain style to control the game and every so often TAA and others are straying from the game plan.

That’s a big call

 

[_Cerberus_]

Will start full strength vs Tottenham, and if we manage to get a lead, take the starters off for the last 30 minutes. Play the backups for the FA cup, then full strength for Nottingham. We will be aiming to win as much trophies as possible, even the so called less relevant one. Cannot see us risking going a few goals down at Anfield, especially with our defence our of form. There is a full week between the Tottenham and Nottingham games. No need to rest.

Both

I think Trent can be slack sometimes and is not a great defender but I think he cops waaaaay more flak than he should. He is instructed to be high, to drop into midfield because he gets us going and is such a good passer and can create goals.

So of course sometimes he isnt in position but that's by design. Oppo teams know this so attack down the right knowing TAA will be up field. That's why mids and Konate is important for spacing and positioning.

Used to work better under Klopp because Henderson was really good at his positioning and covering Trent really well. We dont super get that from Grav/Mac and Konate has been out injured.

Haivng said all that, Trent really didnt play well against United.

Yeah full strength for Spurs, complete second XI for the FA Cup.
