Is that today? there seems to be another game today as well that is drawing all do the attention
Everton gets the equalizer at the death and then loses in PKs. More classico then that boring 0-0 in Spain.
Monterrey played very well vs a makeshift Liverpool side and probably deserved to win, but Mane, TA-A and Firmino came on as subs and TA-A fed Firmino for the winner in injury time after some fantastic play by Salah to get the ball deep and hold it.
I suspect Klopp will treat this like a final and the only rotation will be that which is necessary due to injury.
I feel like you're trying to circumnavigate the cursing filter here...or maybe not.
I'm sure they'd like to win, but I think they're just trying to get back to England without losing anyone to injury. I bet he rotates the side big time so that none of the starters play the bulk of both games. Or as few as possible.
Its funny that after all these years of opposing fans complaining about fergie time and the refs bowing to SAF to help United win, those same fans are loving VAR and how its helping them...
The games against Atlético will be fun if Atleti is healthy at the back. Pool looks only vulnerable (if you could even say that) to counter attacks, and looks deadly in all other aspects. Atleti is still a decent counter attacking team and can still hold down a quality offense (see the 1 goal loss to
I realize the EPL title is far and away the most important thing. 13 points up with a game in hand (vs West Ham?). That's 5 games they have to lose at least. And have only lost 1 in a 1.5 years....
True. I can't see them sitting their starters for EPL games though. That just invites trouble. So, do they play their starters every game and damn the consequences? Or do they focus on EPL and CL and let their rotation try and win them the FA? I'd bet on the latter and then their starters taking over that competition if they make the semis, which is entirely possible with that team right now.
That was some of the discussion this morning too. Everton this weekend in the FA Cup. Do they go with the youth and bow out in the derby? Or may sneak a win? Without the FA Cup they then get rest during midweek games on cup weeks.
I can only speak for myself, but it's all about the league title. It's been 30 years, but it's more than that. It's how that era ended, with Hillsborough, the Thatcher years, financial difficulties, followed by years of trying to rebuild the city, all the issues surrounding Hicks and Gillett, owl face Hodgson, being close to going into administration, the continued Hillsborough inquests, lack of justice... I don't expect anyone here to understand or even know the history or why it transpired, but as far as I know, most older fans only care about the league.
I don't think they have a choice but to go with a youthful team, considering the amount of injuries, and the heavy December schedule. I expect us to beat the Ev with a heavy youth team though, maybe 50/50 senior squad and youth team.
I am hoping for:
I am kinda hoping that Leeds (Leeds Leeds) lets the kids play so they can Focus on the League®I want to see the Leeds / Arsenal match
Yeah, the narrative from the talking heads is that only City in the PL are hit by injuries...
.... and only Chelsea are playing youngsters (United's team has been younger in ave age, but since several have a few seasons already it isnt noted)Yeah, the narrative from the talking heads is that only City in the PL are hit by injuries...
Had this discussion with someone. They all had a couple years experience so they are no longer considered youth. What they should be saying is inexperienced vs experienced not young.
No one got hurt?
