Liverpool vs Manchester City
I was on the site last night talking about cake, with the odd mention of football getting in the way, when I suddenly realised I still hadn’t done the match thread for the City game. Fortunately, just as I was beginning to panic a little, an e mail popped into my in box and it was yet another World exclusive for 4KK, which I can now bring to you all. By all, of course, I mean both of you. 😉
It is a picture of Pep at his press conference (see below) when he realised that Klopp had been engaging in an extremely sophisticated psychological attack by suggesting City might have had an extra break between matches due to Covid. I also have a transcript of the interview but, in short, he said wah, wah, wah, wah….
Ok so Pep has thrown his toys out of his pram but he is lucky enough to have someone to buy him new ones. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to be as careless with points. It goes without saying, so I’ll say it anyway, that this match is yet another in a long line of “must win” games, so let’s hope this time we bloody well go and win it then!
There are hopeful signs that Mane and Fab might be available again for selection and I think they will make a big difference if they are ready and able to come back into the side. Mane offers more both offensively and defensively than Shaq, for example and Fab will release Hendo from defence to boost the midfield. If we can just get an effective CB pairing from Fab, Davies, Kayak and Phillips it will mean we will have boosted all three areas of defence, midfield and attack. After that we still have Jota and Keita to come back from injury to provide a further boost to the depth in midfield and attack.
My Team: Alisson, TAA, Phillips, Robbo, Fab, Hendo, Gini, Thiago, Mane, Firmino, Salah.
