Larry_LCFC Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 Not so long ago, we would have gone into a game like this expecting something. Played our own game, feared nobody. It's quite tragic really just how far we have gone backwards under one manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 15 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 15 May 2023 KDH's performance against them at home last season was one of his best ever, likewise Luke Thomas's. Neither would probably do the same again tonight but you never know. We have to press better and KDH is about the only one capable right now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey123 Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 Anything other than a point and it has to be over. I’ve been saying this every game for weeks, but this one really does feel like the last chance saloon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raj Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 For some totally absurd reason which i presume will change come 8.10 im feeling like a little child on Xmas eve.

How much for a tarpaulin to cover the pitch? It'd be like the old days for an away game. Scoreboard could be our teletext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 Win this and it pretty much puts Newcastle on the beach as well ready for next week. Shame we'll chuck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 Genuinely baffled by any of you being optimistic. I can see us mustering four points from Newcastle and West Ham so I'm not without hope. Think Liverpool will dispatch us as comfortably as Man City did though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentFox Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 As Morgan Freeman once informed us all, in The Shawshank Redemption, hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things. So, given that it’s the last time it might get to see the light of day in these parts for some time ……….. just imagine if we could pull off a result tonight? 😍. That table would be transformed and the pressure on those around us would be enormous. Just imagine …. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. Everton will win at least one of their games and Forest will pick up a minimum of 1 point. That would mean 35 points to stay up. We need to win 2 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 15 May 2023 Share Posted 15 May 2023 (edited) liverpool are an odd duck really, im not quite sure the best approach. Well that’s a lie, I know the best approach it’s just not one we are capable of. We definitely don’t want a basketball game. That’s not something we would be able to come out on top of. Any approach similar to wolves, leeds or everton would lead to a 5+ goal defeat. We also don’t want to sit back and be passive. As they will just grind out a 1 or 2 goal win… and that’s if we manage the basics.. which we’ve not been capable of. Thw only real way to win this is a defensively organized, counter attacking team that presses well. Basically how we won the title. Liverpool overplay as they know if they can break the lines they will be ruthless but what that means is if you can pinch the ball in the right area you can punish them. Sitting off like we did with man city does nothing but allow them to build up until they score. Kdh and mendy in the middle with the sole intention of pressing would be my way to make this work. I honestly hate a dm when you have a back 5 but we don’t have any other players that would willingly press the ball effectively. If you have a front 3 of barnes vardy and maddison all those 2 need to do, is win the ball and shift it to them as fast as possible. But again, for this to work the front 3 need to press well. I’m not convinced barnes has it in him to do this. But he’s also the only one capable of breaking at speed to support vardy. back 3 of soyuncu, faes and souttar defending for their lives and we just hope to hell we can sneak a few goals and hold on. i’m just not convinced we won’t set up like we did against man city and let’s be honest that was a white flag. We set up expecting to lose. We can’t do that today we have to make a game of it. Edited 15 May 2023 by Lambert09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya, as much as it pains me to say, to get that quick ball from back to front if we counter attack we need tielemans. It’d have to be mendy and tielemans for me. KDH has been so sloppy in possession and that’s what’s cost us time and time again this season. When we win the ball and go for the counter, we play a horrific pass and ourselves get countered except we’re already in our final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
