It’s actually quite a turn around where I’ve gone from the mentality of thinking “ye we’ll win easy here” to “fuck this looks a tough game and I can see us losing”.
I get the whole doubters into believers thing but it’s gotta start on the pitch and lately it’s been more believers into doubters transcending from our lads.
This is the most important game of the season, well at least it will be until the next one. It’s an absolutely must win game.
And that is true for every game from now to the end of the season if we are to stand anything better than a snowball’s chance in hell of getting a top four finish.
However, it’s a 12:30 kickoff, the footballing equivalent of the Abomination of desolation, coming after a six day break, and, seeing as PGMOL’s chosen own, anthony “bluemoon” taylor is the referee, and stuart(w)attwell is VAR, that’s at least one penalty nailed on for the Judderman.
I really don’t know if we should even bother turning up. Just do your best Redmen.
They do say that repeating the same deed but anticipating a different outcome is a sure and certain sign of insanity. Consequently, following the abject failure of Boudica’s daliance with vegan blood sports and my efforts at al fresco nettle-clad bibliomancy, the Mem and I are agreed that, with immediate affect, there shall be no λέγοντα μεταξύ, no mesologue regarding the house of Lowton.
This consonance, this harmonious accord, one might venture as far to say concordat, will surprise many acquainted with our normal mode of interaction. To persons of spirit like the Mem and myself, we believe the only happy marriage is that which is based on a firm foundation of almost incessant quarrelling. Normally, but needs must.
Our self imposed omertà however does extend as far as that foul mouthed pestilence, that blot on the landscape and social pariah, Lawro; he has excelled himself by predicting that the outcome will be a one all draw. Tarring and feathering is too good for some folk.
Hopefully his attempted kiss of death won’t throw a spanner in the works and upset the apple-cart. This game has all the makings of a potential banana skin! (well someone had to say it)
I’ll take a scrappy 1-0 win to us. 
We matched or even bettered City for a large part of our last match. The outcome was a fluke that is unlikely to be repeated. Leicester are obviously a decent team and will make life hard for us but if we have a first half like last weeks we should win today. I think more depends on us scoring goals than conceding them. Time for Bobby to wake up and realise that scoring goals is an important part of his game. I hope we will be a bit more direct this time and not over play the tip tap passing in front of their defence. Time for a more positive attitude around both penalty areas. Manage this and we win.
Best thing so far today is there were no leaks before official confirmation.
Happy days, lets have it !!
@Flobs must be surprised 
Kabak is starting.
The line up I expected and probably the most sensible one.
With Thiago out I’m expecting a more energetic performance by the rest. Bit like in the good old days 
Yesterday’s news.
Nice looking team. Allow TAA and Andy to maraud down the wings rather than checking back like they’ve been doing lately.
Justin misisng for Leicester, and he has been a key player for them in defence and attack. Salah been knocking in goals, so now need Mane to get his mojo back. Sadio to open the scoring.
I’m going to say that we will have an easier time than most are expecting. Rodgers isn’t as good a manager as most people seem to think he is…
We will play well, maybe concede a goal or two because of the newness of our centre-back pairing, but definitely what the outcome of the match is will depend entirely on the finishing ability on display by us today. If it’s anything like the whole of January, I’m not expecting anything. Reverting back to December and previous, we ought to do fairly well.
I think Curtis Jones will score today. 
that midfield though!! boy oh boy…
Apparently Davies picked up a knock in training.
I’m starting to think the coaches should stop throwing bricks at the centre backs in training. I think it’s doing more harm than good.
Why doesn’t Klopp start Kabak FFS 
Next up.
Why did Kabak start so soon.
