And even that’s being generous.
Most sensible post in the thread.
Getting ahead of ourselves regarding hammering them doesn’t sit well.
I think Slot is a bit more pragmatic than some supporters, and this is the approach he will take.
Everything else is a bonus, as a wise man said.

I’m hoping with Amorim that he is professional enough to put out a team that will try to play football (albeit badly).
Games like this and the Everton match are always a nightmare when the players are told to be pumped up, get stuck in, play for the badge and all the other toxic macho bullshit.
So my hopes: 3 points, no injuries, no unnecessary cards, no unpleasant vile chanting and maybe even a game of footie.

I’m fine with 1-0, but it really matters what happens in the first 10-20 minutes. If we get an early goal, I think they’ll collapse and it’ll be a rout. This is a broken club, and I’d go for the throat from the off.
This is the type of match where a side might come in thinking they’ve won before they’ve even touched the pitch. That happened occasionally under Klopp. I don’t think Slot will allow that to happen.

He kind of has to - can’t turn up to not lose a game badly - it’s Manchester United - the worlds greatest football club.

Ten Hag came to Anfield basically parking the double decker bus.
We had problems then as our attacking play back then was more one dimensional then. We’ve since changed our approach.
I don’t see Amorim changing his playing style. We will need to withstand the early 20 min of United attack before they tire themselves out and we then reap the benefits.
If they park the double decker early on, watch for Trent, Slob and Gakpo arriving inside to shoot from range… One such piledriver goal will be enough to cause real panic in heir ranks.
For anyone that can remember the smug smirk Ferguson had permanently on display, when he brought his all conquering side to Anfield in our time of struggle, I for one would relish that club being taught a footballing lesson on Sunday… Right in front of Neville, Keane, Schmeichel et al
This is what I meant now they’ve become Everton perhaps we won’t be able to smash them.
It’s remarkable that my post is the most level-headed in this thread. @ShadesOfRed has clearly put something in the water. Even the normally staid @Colossal_centre_back has developed a personality of sorts. You are all scaring me and I am going to take a break from this forum for 2 minutes to gather myself.

I just want a win.
By more goals the better. Those jammy fucks have fluked some results against us and I don’t want the team strolling in thinking they’ve already won this.

The cockiness here is a concern, you all have shit memories.
The last time we played Manchester that had lost 3 PL games in a row, we played at home and only beat City by 2-0.
You think they’re going to come out and attack us ?! They may be shit but they’re not suicidal.

Why do you bother reading his posts? Save yourself some brain cells and read @PeachesEnRegalia instead.

@Sithbare’s banning came at an inopportune moment. He could have done some damage.
