You wont be far wrong there WW. But Sterling will play, probably instead of Jesus

[City64]

7.30 KO can fuck off !

[blues2win]

Laporte at Bramall Lane. Might make the bench. Mendy Silva and Stones left behind as expected.

[CTID Hants]

Tonight's trip to Bramall Lane sees the return of @Laporte!

XI | Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho (C), Laporte, Rodrigo, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, G Jesus.

SUBS | Bravo, Gundogan, Aguero, Bernardo, Cancelo, Foden, Garcia.

Blimey Laporte starts!

[harveytravis]

Blimey Laporte starts!

And Foden.... oh.... right....

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Three at the back or Fern at DM I wonder? Can Laporte do 90 mins, prob off after 60? Good news though

Title long long gone VAR and injuries have seen to that plus

Plus shit management .

Easy to call out the best club manager in the world when he has had his hands tied . I think FFP has hit us hard this season and huge inflated fees for a decent CB s to replace Vinny . Lack of pace upfront with the sane injury and German rags Bayern turning his head . Think we have really missed his pace this season especially with Sterling’s form gone to shit the last couple of months . Pep also over protecting the very young Foden and Garcia , can understand it but agree a bit more game time is a must surely ? Think both will start in the FA cup v Fulham but the sheer pace of the PL can expose very young players who may not be fully developed physically? Even if we had all the pieces in that jigsaw this season the corrupt PL and TV companies would still have the bin dipping cunts beat us to another title and I don’t think I could go through what I went through last season mentally with those disgusting scouse cunts . Think a lot is going on behind the scenes with a number of top clubs with the obvious perceived corruption / VAR etc .............. let the dippers have their tarnished title we can enjoy maybe a cup double and no stress .

Its easy to have a pop at Guardiola this season as he has not performed as well as the previous 2 seasons and below are some of the reasons why he hasn't.
He used to drop under performing players (Sane for one ) last season and the season before yet this season he rewards performing players by dropping them the next game !!!!! yet he fuckign persists on playing under performing players, like Sterling and to a degree David Silva among one or 2 others , game after game - I get the other reasons why we have fallen away ( VAR and LAPORTE ) but Baldie has fucked up many times this season for all the reasons mentioned above.

If PeP goes back to his ways from previous seasons then we have a great chance of doing something interesting the remaining cup comps but if he still persists with his shit decisions on playing personnel then we wont win jack shit this season.

P.S - Klopp is currently the best manager in the world...hard to swallow...but its true.

I have to disagree with a couple of your points especially about Klopp . He basically relies on 11 or 12 players week in week out . They are significant rumours Klopp knows how to beat doping regulations, it was mentioned when he was at Dortmund and the high tempo and press certain players maintained week in week out there . Some of those players are now burnt out and finished. The athletic levels of dippers full backs Robertson and TAA superceed anything else in the PL but when they play at international level their levels drop significantly and Robertson swerves most call ups . Also the “media” refusing to get involved in the dipper hacking case against us they have been found guilty of . I think a massive can of worms will be opened about what has actually gone on in the PL this season and of LFCs “progress” in the not too distant future Carl .............. which part of the media is going to break ranks though ?

Must admit that it seems strange to me as a physician that the same players at Liverpool can start almost every game whilst we are constantly rotating. Do they have some special dietary regime maybe?

The ketogenic diet has been proven to increase endurance and combat fatigue. We all know that carbs are toxic and short term fixes in sport. Maybe the medical staff at Klanfield could teach our medical team some things??

Just a thought...

[blues2win]

I suspect three at the back. Walker and Zinchenko wing backs.

[carl_feedthegoat]

@ Harvey Travis re your post above.


I think you should direct that question at someone who understands diets and nutrition and not someone who drinks 20 pints before a match and a few boxes of crisps.

Sterling over bernando fuck off.

Killed bernandos form doing this before.

Sterling should have stayed in manc.

[Mase]

Wow. Just wow.
Aguero dropped - people will say because he needs a rest, but that argument is bollocks because Laporte is playing.

Self-sabotage 101.

I agree

Seeing Laporte back will hopefully give the lads a massive boost. Sane to follow in the next few weeks all being well

[Harry Dowd scored]

I hope Laporte has not been brought in to soon, I suppose we should trust that the powers that be know what they are doing, happy to see Mahrez back

[carl_feedthegoat]

Wow. Just wow.

Sterling rewarded for his shit performance yet again and as for dropping Aguero...well.....words fail me.

I've stopped trying to understand Pep now. Just can't get my head around anything he does.

[Sideshow Bob]

stupid to start laporte. should have given him some minutes in his legs as a sub against tiring opposition. hope he can stay fit.
