He reckons he will be fit for Sunday but I think that comes more out of desire than anything else.
It`s the sort of injury that needs time to heal so another week might be better.

Well we need a result at the weekend for me or at least a good performance. Another spanking will set alarm bells ringing

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Nov 20, 2020 9:30 am  

Partey is definitely out for Arsenal, which is a big plus for us, but I still think they'll have too much for us.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Nov 20, 2020 10:18 am  

And David Luiz fighting with Cabeleros won`t help either.
If KP is out I would go with the following:
Messlier
Ayling, Llorente, Cooper, Dallas/Davis
Koch
Poveda, Klich, Rodrigo, Raphaena, ?spelling!
Bamford

But Costa and Harrison will no doubt be in the 11.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Nov 20, 2020 2:06 pm  

Phillips and Rodrigo likely to start, Llorente is fit, but is left out to gove him more time to recover

Love the Kalvin Phillips Mural, would be nice if the painter could do one of them for Rob Burrow.

Some what disappointing not to get the win after playing against 10 men, but I'd have snapped your hand for that result before kick off.

Apart from a few stupid fouls given away, we looked a lot more solid at the back, although I thought Ayling was probably our worst player. He gave the ball away for too often.
Phillips was superb I thought, and Dallas was decent in midfield also.
Raphinha was good as well, and it's his shirt to lose now.

Everton will certainly offer a lot more going forward than Arsenal did, but they're nowhere near as solid defensively. I expect it'll be like a basketball game, I'm not sure my ticker can take it!

Played very well apart from Klich and Ayling. Ayling was awful defensively and offensively. I actually think he’s a better centre back. Rodrigo should have come on earlier. Arsenal were there for the taking today. Unlucky to hit post 3 times though but like you say a clean sheet and a point against Arsenal is never a poor result especially for a newly promoted team

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Nov 22, 2020 7:37 pm  

You thought Klich was poor? Apart from being caught in possession once in the first half, I thought him and Phillips ran the show.
