I really fear what will happen if some no name mark asks one more time about why playing at 12:30 is a disadvantage. We may very well see chairs thrown around.

Ali back in training as of yesterday which is great, Mac sounds like he could be out for a week-10 days.

It’s annoying that you can never hear the questions

Did JK just say we’re not buying a CB in Jan?

Confirmation we’ll be in for a CB in Jan.

Highlights:

Mac Allister looks good, but not sure if good enough for tomorrow.
Alisson back in training
Matip deserves a new contract “but it’s not my decision.”
Nice words for Hodgson, “don’t know how he still does it.”
A lot of waffle about scheduling summarised as two key injuries and anyone is stuffed.
Virg is the best defender in the world.
“Tell me a club who wants to sell a top centre-half?” (I get the impression that he definitely wants a CB as long as it is a long term upgrade).

(these interviews would be much better if they gave a mic to the questioners).

I was just thinking that. It’s like that American game show where you have to guess the question from the answer.

I think he asked Santa for one.

You would think they’d have figured it out by now. It can’t be that difficult.

Southampton in 2018.

:joy:

Suspend mics like in the HOC.

Simples.

All you can hear there is farmyard noises.

Not a single question about the game or Palace.

Remarkable stuff.

He did say a bit about Hodgson. I don’t like to tempt fate but I suspect it could be his last game.

They’ve lost their last 3 at home to Bournemouth, Everton and Tottenham.

Tsimikas back in for Gomez.

No Eze or Doucoure makes that midfield battle much, much easier. Endo, Jones and Szobo in there for me. Elliot and Gravenberch off the bench against tired legs.

Gakpo looked lost as a 9 again but better when moved to the left. Might be time to give Diaz a rest - he’s miles away from anything like his best form. Nunez and Salah must start.

Do expect us to win here. 3-1.

Ali in training, but if not tomorrow, then I guess United.

Same goes for Mac. Klopp doubts for tomorrow, Union SG is for kids, should be good then for United.

I’d also go with Jones from the start.

Good to hear about Alisson also said he trained as normal, so we will see on that. At least it’s not long now.

So I guess we will see, Maca who knows should be next week, makes sense on a cut if it’s not closing.

Could give him a break for United game also. They’ve haven’t tried to attack against us for over 5 years

most press conferences sound like this to me:

“pss pss pss pss”
“ja, for sure”

agree with this lineup. Doubt Doak will get a run out though.
