Sunderland v Liverpool

[Nineteenx]

No Szobo this is an absolutely must win game a must win game all our remaining games are must win games

Alisson

Gomez Konate Van Dijk Robbo

Gravenberch Mac Allister Wirtz

Salah Ekitike Chiesa

Get the win play like we did hair the first half hour second half and keep playing like that

[miller0863]

Missing our best player, struggling for a right back and a midfield with m oh re holes in it than a colander.

I have no confidence in getting even a point out of this one.

[Insidious]

I say this very tongue-in-cheek as the last time I mentioned the issue of "team against" match threads it almost kicked off (not with you to be fair) but there used to be a time where I'd do these threads in 90+ points winning seasons and if we lost, you'd start one superstitiously because I had "lost my touch"

So if you truly are a superstitious man I'd say it's probably time someone else did one - won't be me mind

Jest aside, to say we are desperate for a result is an understatement - whilst I have (pretty much) written off our hopes of Champion's League qualification, we could give ourselves a decent chance again if we won....hmmmm.....five in a row, which I don't foresee - so we will need absolutely everything we can get - and without Szob.

Fingers crossed!!!

Dont want to see mcallister playing, would be starting endo and playing calvin ramsey, we need the midfield to start tackling

[LFC-DPG]

One win in six, Slobo out, not got the confidence things will change.

It's actually one win in seven. Could be 7 points off 5th before this game kicks off. It's looking grim

[Nineteenx]

Actually he should play Ramsay at RB Brobby gave Arsenal’s RB and Saliba a torrid time on Sat, we need to press and counter press and block the lines down our right to stop the ball going in to him easy as he’s their agitator who gets the crowd going

We need to play like we’re Liverpool our midfield isn’t bad at all Macca created a couple of chances and would have made it 2-2 but for a worldlie save by their keeper

Who else forced a save? Not Teacake, not Mo, not Wirtz, not Gakpo, not Grav

I didn’t I only did it when you hadn’t and the match was nearly upon us

My recollection which may be wrong is Kev and Justme kicking off about you posting thrn too early

I’ve only been posting them recently btw

[jozza800]

Wouldn't have Mac Allister anywhere near the starting line-up.

We're down to the absolute barebones now.

Let's see what Ramsay can do.

It took a deflection.

[JockStrap]

Sunderland unbeaten at home this season

[Nineteenx]

Not as potent without Xhaka

Need to press pick up and counter press, not over commit and make sure we’re stopping the ball going to their main man easy

He’s the one gets their fabs fired up and the team, good press and counter press and blocking the lines there

Good to set traps to nick it and attack quickly from there too

Going to have to win this one

Right now I’d say with no other distractions the filthy get third, Villa dropping off, Chelsea more likely to drop points sone games we have to win as many games as we can and capitalise whenever any of them fuck up

De Zerbi’s made himself available

No Szobo this is an absolutely must win game a must win game all our remaining games are must win games

Alisson

Ramsay Konate Van Dijk Robbo

Gravenberch Jones Mac Allister

Salah Ekitike Wirtz

Get the win play like we did hair the first half hour second half and keep playing like that

Need a strong centre and right side

[Steveo]

At least Dom only misses the one game. Let’s be honest - it’s the only way the lad gets any rest.

Slot will start exactly the same line up with S8 replaced by Jones.
