Only things that need to be said about last night's match are:

- Shaqiri should get more game time.

- Watching Thiago play football is a joy.

- Well played (young) Villa, good performance. Best of luck in respective careers.

Back to what really matters, the PL and CL. It all comes back to our CB issues again. Even if we could play with a Fabinho-Matip CB partnership for the rest of the season, I still think we would have a decent chance of retaining the PL. Unfortunately the chances of that happening are very slim. Sign a CB.

Bro, I think what Klopp alludes to is the fact that the whole world knows LFC needs a CB, so no one is going to release one at a cheap price..
So better to live with what we have than get chopped in the transfer market.
Focus on building the experience of who they have left..
Sad but that is life these days.

Still can cope with Fab n any other CB provided we don't play a high defensive line. With VVD or Gomez, the other CBs are too slow to recover once beaten by fast strikers. We should play as deep as possible against scums.

Get a CB or 2 on loan till the end of the season. Cos now the worse thing to happen is Fab getting injured n Pool will be without any established CB. Last night's match easily shows Rhys was not up to mark yet as he was easily beaten by another teenager which led to their equaliser. Can't imagine the pairing of Phillips n Rhys as CBs!

Think of how we play when we had Coutinho. We passed him the ball and run into space so that he can have options to make that killer pass. That is how Man U plays now. Their front 3 don't track back to press and defend so when they are attacked, they struggle defensively due to a lack of players defending.

We have to factor in the teething period if we buy a CB now. The new CB has to learn how we play and develop an understanding with the rest of the team. By the time the deal is done and the new CB settles in, Joe Gomez may not be too far away from complete recovery

I think we will eventually get one CB under the radar

Fabinno would be the CB 1st choice and hope he stays fit. MC King Matip cannot fully depend on him. Not sure why Klopp doesn't use Nat Phillips as much, at least if he is able to show his ability it's easier to sell him to other clubs in future. Makes me miss Lovren so much, letting him go was a mistake.

With VAR, Lovren would be conceding a penalty every match

This is a good point.

It is also obvious United are going target our right side: CB(assuming Matip is still not fit to play) and RB on the 17th.

Perhaps Klopp should consider switching to a 4-2-3-1 for the time being when we without both experienced CBs?

VVD may return in Feb or early Mar.

YNWA ring Sunday

We need 3 points against Man U this Sunday (or Monday morning SGP time) to level the points with MU.

No excuses, we have to be at our very best to get the 3 points. Someone needs to keep BF quiet for the entire game, otherwise he will create chances.

United injury worries

Manchester United are sweating on the fitness of three players for the clash on Sunday.

The Red Devils' victory over Burnley, which took them top of the table, came at a cost, with both Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic suffering late injuries.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was already without the services of Victor Lindelof, with a longstanding back problem meaning the Swede has played just two of their last seven matches.

It remains to be seen whether any of the trio will be fit to feature at Anfield.

After looking at both Mancs teams' positions in the table today, I keep hearing the classic from David Bowie & Queen..."Under Pressure"

If there was a time this season to show why we are the champions then it's now

JohnHandcock · #**35310** 16-01-2021, 01:06 AM

Rashford confessed scums were taught to win penalties by Maureen Neo. He is still far from being a great finisher. Maybe he will be if he change his name to Rushford.
