chappy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Get him back for these three matches then give him a week off between Wolves and Leeds - or two weeks off and go with Olsen vs Leeds. Obviously will come down to his own state of mind right now - I’d say there’s more chance we’ll see him than if they had lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Next time we see Emi will be the Wolves game. 0-2 defeat in this one, which is a shame as at full strength we could have gotten something. Says a lot that we are more affected by the world cup final than Liverpool but there we have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Liverpool playing Man City in the EFL Cup on Thursday might help us a little, if they field a few 1st team players. There will be just three days' rest afterwards before our match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting what team they put out, can't see any of their WC players featuring but given guys like Salah and Firmino haven't played seriously in over a month it makes sense to get some intensity in their legs before our match. Pep is apparently complaining he hardly has any fit players so good chance for Liverpool to knock them out of a cup and get a boost going into second half of the season.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Pretty certain Emery will have a plan for this i.e. restrict them space around and in the box, don't let them get any shots off. Protect Olsen at all costs. Keep it tight, get in there faces! With a midfield three of Kamara - Dendoncker - Luiz I also think we'll be strong in the middle. Bailey will hopefully find plenty of space at there on the big and beautiful Villa Park pitch. Got to fancy us to get something out of this, it's a great time to face them. Villa Park should be Rocking! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton had Danny Wellbeck up front, Liverpool and Spurs have Salah and Kane. Brighton are punching above their weight, Liverpool and Spurs are playing below theirs.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Spurs players should be most bummed out after the World Cup. Lloris, Kane, Richarlison, Perisic. Bentancur is out too until they play us. Would have preferred them first up rather than Liverpool. Oh well we’re doing them both. 6 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 No Martinez seemingly confirmed by The Mirror. It was going to be very difficult, now made even trickier with Olsen in goal. We might as well go full attack as the best form of defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
