Prediction Odds Leeds 10/30 Liverpool 8/11 Draw 16/5
Summary
We really need to up our game play like we did against Manchester United Liverpool will take us to the cleaners. Has been signs we have improved but we need more for sure.
their front 3 are going to be so much a handful so defensively we are going to to have to be on the ball.
We will miss Raphinha big time but Liverpool are also going to be weakened with 3 first team players out still possible these could play but as on writing 3pm Friday no further news so that means they are still out.
My hearts telling me we can win this but my head is telling me Liverpool will be to good on the day.
I'd take a draw now if i was offered one.
Think we will go down fighting
Heart says 2-1
Head says 0-2
I hope MB uses the HT to sort that system out, because Liverpool are just coasting. Not allowing us to use Phillips to build attacks from the back and they are pushing so many players forward we are resorting to hoofing it downfield. Defense all over the place due to the sheer numbers of Liverpool players in attacking positions.
This game is gone, but there should be no panic as I believe we have played 3 of the eventual top 6. Shame about the red for Struijk as I really rate him and he is arguably our best centre half.
