Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [16th - 24th Jan 2021]

[Tombstone]

Shaqiri is extremely hit or miss, he will either score a long range blinder or do a great assist, or do 65 mins of absolutely nothing before being subbed for Milner. I just hope that Trent has rediscovered his form after that dreadful performance the other week where he seemed to think the pitch was 35 yards wider and longer than it actually was.

 

[Mark1989]

Martial is hit and miss but he would have a field day against Rhys imo.

He may do but as you said Martial is hit and miss, Williams has also done well in each of his appearances for us so i dont see why Klopp doesnt trust him enough for the league games

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Wasnt expecting Shaqiri to start tbf. Id rather he just played R.Williams at center back than Henderson

I'd fancy Alex Zanardi in a foot race over Williams.

 

[manic111]

We're going to get thumped without Henderson and Fabinho in midfield, they're going to be all over us

 

[mysticsniper]

Hoping for a draw this afternoon.

 

[Converge]

I expect some sort of red card, Rashford and Martial missing absolute sitters and Shaqiri giving us trouble for some reason.

I have low requirements, I just want Utd to actually turn up and try.

 

[Lyle44]

Hope there's some var controversy with a last re-taken bruno penalty, hasn't been enough var controversy this season so far.
On a serious note can see this finishing 1-1

 

[Purdy]

Neville thinks Pogba the most likely to be important player for manus run in lol? Bruno eclipsed everything he’s done in under a year

I think his point was that if Pogba is bang at it and plays as well as he can, that's a huge boost to their title ambitions

 

[robfosters]

I hope this isn’t another bore draw with both sides petrified of losing

Never shown anything to suggest he’s capable of being the main man for them since his move back

He's been their best player for the last month, when they've been better than at any time since Ferguson left, so I think otherwise, but meh. I hope he loses all form and United fall away anyway

 

[Mark1989]

Couple times Bobby has just done a short pass to no one

 

[Purdy]

Twice the balls played in front of shaqiri and he assumes it’s not for him

 

[manic111]

Thiago is ridiculous

 

[Ayahuasca]

Thiago is ridiculous

Just dipped out of the matrix there.

 

[Tombstone]

Same pattern emerging so far, lots of passes and touches around the box and then a stray/overhit pass kills the attack

 

[Purdy]

Just need a decent Manu counter and concede now

 

[Ayahuasca]

Final third letting Liverpool down again.

 

[Purdy]

Hope we get to see Thiago in the fully fit version of this team, Christ he’s good

he’s so good he can detect the pressure of the ball?
