'shocking' ? It's almost as if no words exist to describe anything between brilliant and shocking
Burn and Webster were shockingly awful against Villa, both will get absolutely destroyed, owned and beasted by Liverpool.

A professional athlete plays football for 90 minutes, and can't recover in three days ? ?
I think we'll get something on merit, not because Liverpool are a 'bit tired' if they are, then its their own fault. That's what a squads for.

Typically annoying that Lamps and La La are both out and likely out. 2 best players this season by a mile. Liverpool are vulnerable and if we'd been full strength, they played poorly and we played brilliantly etc then we might just might pull off a shock result. However, I simply cannot see now after this weekends games. We're going to get battered in all likelihood given our porous defence and Liverpool's home record. We must summon the 'eighties' gods and a strong southerly wind!

Burn was on the field for about seven minutes and I can't remember doing anything particularly poor. Have you got it in for him?
Sorry. I didn't mean any of that post, we were taking the mickey out of extremes used to describe player performances.

I would be tempted to rest Welbeck given he´s just completed his first 90 minutes for months

Veltman in for Lamptey makes us more defensive. I think thats the only change.

Yup. I completely forgot about Alzate. He'd easily make my subs bench, and I'd almost like him to start instead of Gross -- but I can't see Potter making too many changes from the Villa line-up (apart from Lamptey's absence).
Two things on the game. Liverpool played last night, and have a CL game on Wednesday, and then us Saturday lunch time. Klopp is whingeing about this -- justifiably so, in my view. Second, just like the post-lockdown game, they will press us high up the pitch. We were two down within eight minutes and, however knackered their players are, I'd be amazed if they didn't deploy such an approach again. If we play out from the back, we'll have to be right on it.

One of the best things about Welbeck on Saturday is that it meant we could mix it up, we went longer more often and moved the ball a lot faster in the final third. He is what we’ve needed for 18 months.

Yes, agreed. His pace, strength, height, movement constitutes a great package, let's hope he can demonstrate a decent level of composure in front of goal too. The likes of Lallana can thread balls through to him (as on Saturday), or we can go longer over the top, which means that it sows doubt in the opposition about pushing higher up the pitch to compress the space.
