Zlatan can barely walk

Lions only run when they go for the kill

And he has covid recovery legs

I'm by the arrogance of the club not getting a replacement for Lovern. Citeh taught everyone a valuable lesson last season and you lot ignored it.

Matip is a wine glass , hate to say it but we may be looking at Fabinho--Gomez backline.

Spoiler

So what club is pulling a Leicester this year?

 

[SCORCH]

Willian still scamming, another 70 minute disasterclass in the books.

Damn VVD out for 7 months

You know the injury is crazy when the player can actually walk off the pitch without help

Just because Fabinho can play CB doesn't mean he is going to be great at it and most likely to be exposed as the weak link. That already changed the dynamic of your press, your line will have to drop deeper. The presence from defending crosses is gone. If I'm playing Liverpool now I'm putting half of my attack down Fabinhos side or bombard the area with crosses.

With Fabinho playing CB it frees up for a more balanced midfield, with Wijnaldum ability to get into the box alongside Henderson and Thiago instead of a more one paced Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson trio.

Madrid has zero bite in their attack

I wasn't buying that. I used the Tony Witter example. He's an old 90's player who was more known for a lower league career. He was a CB and was on loan to Reading from QPR, he broke/fractured his leg, early into the 2nd half and played for 30+ mins with that injury. After reading that as a kid, I always expected the worst from injuries.

Damn VVD out for 7 months

Whoa

 

[African_brehda]

Looked like VVD was going to be back in 2 weeks or something the way he walked off.

Nah breh, its usually very serious when they walk off on their own
