The most important match of the season!
This one might be difficult.

I’m sure that Arne and his team will know the personnel, formation and tactics to see us through this game. COYR YNWA

One of their hooligans is injured, which is good news.
Joelinton Apolinario de Lira Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury Jan 27: ‘Joe won’t make the game - he has had a scan, we don’t think it is a bad injury, but we think he will be out for a few weeks. He will miss a few games.’

They actually managed to both get a result last night in Paris while resting a few players.
Hope Anfield is up for this one.

That huge for us. Don’t think he’s that good, but he seems be allowed to smash players with absolute impunity.

Gomez will be tight, Slot was hopeful on Konate and Jones had flu so we will see with those 3.
Do think giving Nallo minutes where possible is also a good idea.
I have massive concerns regarding Nallo at the top level, given he has been caught out multiple times leading to him receiving a straight RED card
Is it a trade of between the potential they see in him and the rope he is given?
Maybe it’s growing up he’s played close to 70 games and only had two. He’s improving as he played for 20 mins last night and didn’t get one.

There was a wild lunge that could have gone wrong…

Right get rid then… Whose next another 17 year old who won’t be allowed to learn the game. Rhys Williams would make wild lunges all the time the problem for him he was also about 10 minutes behind the game.
There is little other option unless we are to buy or loan within 3 days simple fact. Unless one of the two 17 year olds we purchased are far better than we thought.
I was being facetious - had posted earlier more seriously

Since the BBC is a bit unreliable, here are my misheard quotes from Meneer Slot:
- He’s late… again… settling the tab at Wetherspoons?
- Frimpong: definitely out for a few weeks but not as bad as thought.
- Ibou training and will be in squad.
- What chance of bringing in signing? Not likely but not his call.
- Importance of game? Every game crucial but it is now more important to reach top 4 (as are all games). Looking forward to game after midweek results.
- Is there a lift from 6:0? Wining is better than losing. One win is not enough but there were good performances. Newcastle bigger challenge.
- Joe and Curtis: Curtis now well again, Joe not fit.
- Is Mo in good position? It’s down to team to help him in promising positions. Pleased for Mo to score.
- Problem with no natural RB? Perhaps. It helps wingers if players can make overlaps. Endo did a lot of inside and overlaps. Not a RB but brings other qualities.
- European vs Premier performances: Premier League is stronger. Number of games has caused issues (lack of rest) with same players playing most games. More physicality in PL. Set pieces easier against Qarabag.
- Rehab for Isak: Out of walker (support) Not on pitch. Recovery will take a while.
- Bringing on young players: They have come in when leading significantly or in cups. Rio is different as he comes in when we need goals. Trey is close to that.
- CL qualification congested: Every game pivotal. Less opportunities to make mistakes given league position and fewer games from end.
- Deadline Day - Elliott: Good to see him on pitch but his position is not ideal (question dodged).
- (couldn’t hear question) Fringe player not fit. Danns? Lots of injuries but he will fight back.
- Makeshift RB and continuity: Consistency helps. Unable to do it this season due to injuries. Far from ideal but we accept the situation.
TLDR: Jones and Konate back. Frimpong, Gomez and other still injured.

Heard that Hugo Ekitike will be internally suspended for his comments…Is it true???
What comment did Hugo make?
He shouldn’t be suspended for this match. This is an important game.
