Ours lads simply MUST be bouyed and energised by the return of our fans and the maturity and level of their collective performances and the inspiring performances and return to form and increase in form of 4 or 5 players in the last few games, it is absolutely vital our lads make sure they win this game, by 2 or more goals ideally to absolutely ensure, they finish this most difficult and testing campaign in 3rd or 4th position.
Focus will be vitally important, fans being back is fantastic, but there's no doubt there will be the usual muppets with their radio commentary or mobile phones paying unnecessary attention to other games instead of focusing on putting all their attention and support behind our lads in the game we're playing and any news from other games will no doubt filter through to the lads as it did in the final day game v Wolves in the 18-19 season, and we can't let that affect us even for a minute as it did in that game for 20 minutes or more, stay focused on our task, getting the win and playing to our highest possible levels
We need to be absolutely devastatingly lethal in our finishing and precision and accuracy and decision making with our opportunities to create chances and final ball
We need to make sure we are lightning quick to press their players to stop them launching balls from deeper and crossing and releasing their most threatening forwards
I don't think there is any need to go gung ho from the start, we need a really measured, mature, professional performance, with the intensity, focus, quality and speed in everything we do, we don't know how they'll set up now they're safe and what their game plan will be, starting with Gini and Fab both sitting a little deeper in the first 20 especially, Gini assisting snuffing out Zaha whichever side thye start him of move him to throughout and having Thiago getting further forward into positions he can use his incredible passing to create goals being more direct as he has been of late and release people with one of the full backs joining him and having them looking to create and score, press them quickly and win the ball back high, with Gini and the other full back taking great counter pressing positions would be great
Come the fuck on Liverpool, a high HIGH quality professional performance and a no dramas 2-0 win (more if possible ) is exactly what is needed in this game, let's end the season on a high, with our fans and a great deal of satisfaction and momentum going into next season with players returning through the incredible job of navigating this most testing of all seasons - Get this game won and won well, finish the job
