Chindie Posted July 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2020 Smith will need to pull a helluva rabbit out of the hat to get anything but a humbling here. And unfortunately the rabbit has myxomatosis, the audience is filled with rabid wolves and Smith doesn't have a hat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny B Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Anyone else just feeling completely despondent?! I think maybe 36 points will be about enough but we just cannot score. Normally the annoying optimist but cannot see it happening. Liverpool's hangover will have worn off and they will be eager to right the wrongs from the City game, Klopp was very animated post-match on Thursday. Predictions from me: Liverpool 3-0 L Man United 1-3 L Palace 1-0 W Everton 2-0 L Arsenal 1-1 D West Ham 2-1 L Would love to be proved wrong! Louie Barry looks a real player for the future but I don't think this is the right time for him to a shine plus this could kill his confidence! UTV!

Danny Barry will be right, a young player at his age given the run against the pool, he should see it as a chance to tell other let downs that now is his time so move on out the way and it's time for me to show you how it's done like you should have been showing us young ones all season. If I were Barry I would go out there with something and everything to prove with only one goal in mind, destroy Liverpool and claim his place above those who have let the club down. In reality he can not be any worse than those who have played before him in his position right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be hungry no doubt which is not a bad thing but and this is a big but he would be up against the likes of VVD & Henderson. I agree Samatta and Davis haven't been blowing us away but Samatta has experience in the Champions League and Keinan is a big strong lad. I've been disappointed with Samatta since the break, he looked a real threat beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It’s very rare for a team to get less than 20% possession in a PL match. It’s only happened a handful of times. I think we have a big chance of joining that exclusive few tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 i would go... Steer Fred hause mings taylor Luiz Elmo mcginn grealish Ghazi samatta Cant be left exposed at the back. Taylor is better defensively. Elmo and ghazi for crosses. Realistically though, dont think it matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more assured despite his odd rush of blood. Other than the Leicester game he has done fine, especially when you consider the amount of shots we were conceding.

He just looks a bit sluggish to me now. Also against Liverpool he would probably throw a few in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just had a bet on Villa to win! On line betting is effing lethal! A few drinks on a Saturday night and I can wake up in Sunday morning a fair few pounds lighter and not in a good way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I think the motivational talk should be lads keep it tight, if we lose only 2 nil we will still be 18th even after being winless in the five games since the restart. Positively Churchillian. Edited July 4, 2020 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
