Our Oliver record is abysmal
His record with us is abysmal. Not that I am calling him incompetent. I’m sure he has a good idea of what he is doing.
Oliver or no Oliver , we’re gonna get tonked , again.
Tweedle dum…n Tweedle dee…in that setup…
Anyone who had even the slightest glimmer of hope can bury it now that this news has come out.
I predicted a Liverpool win.
Now, I predict a Liverpool win but Oliver to make an appalling decision or two against us.

The main man has spoken.
Forgot about the presser. Details here from the Beeb:
-
Slot confirmed Mohamed Salah is fit and available to start in what would be his first appearance since announcing he will leave the club at the end of the season.
-
Goalkeeper Alisson is set to miss the tie against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League and be out until “towards the end of the season”, while Jeremie Frimpong “trained with us and seems to be OK”.
-
Alexander Isak returned to training this week and could play “maybe a few minutes” on Saturday but the game comes “too soon” for him to start: “It will take a bit of time to give him a lot of minutes but we will make sure we do the right thing to build him up. It is a good thing to have him on the training ground, even better to get him on the pitch.”
-
More on record signing Isak’s return: “Rehab did a great job, I see a player much stronger, in a better place but 100 days off to the intensity of the Premier League and Champions League, what is realistic to expect is difficult. I am happy I have a nine available again behind Hugo [Ekitike] or together with him, that’s already a positive. I said many times, when he’s had a proper pre-season, we can expect more for him but what we have now is already a big step forward.”
-
On Salah: “Mo has always given everything he’s got for this club. I would hope he could give even more but that’s not realistic because he’s always done that and he will try to do that until the end of the season.”
-
On facing City after losing twice against them in the league: “I think we have felt this season multiple times how important it is to get a lead, we have struggled with that. It’s much easier than being 1 or 2-0 up. Scoring goals is vital, so I am happy Alex is back. We have more fans than normal because it is FA Cup and I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re louder than them!”
-
More on the Reds’ inconsistency: “We’ve shown we have quality players but the amount of games is the biggest issue, so it is interesting to see where we are. We played much better at home and didn’t deserve to lose against City. A big referee decision in that one as well - the [Marc] Guehi tackle on Salah that wasn’t a red card, didn’t go our way.”
I am so glad I don’t have to listen to Slot’s pressies yet can read a shortened version. Each time I read such nonsense the more I feel the man hasn’t a clue.
Under Klopp this would be a great clash and a continuation of a rivalry. Under Slott it feels an inevitable let down.
I hope I am wrong.
Going to swerve this completely. Might head into town for a few pints if the weather is ok.
That’s where I am right now. Followed this team for over half a century through good times and bad, and there have been plenty of bad times. But right now I can’t be arsed, Slotball has sucked the fucking life out of me. Watching the same garbage for 12 months has done that.
City win by at least 2.
But if you go to the pub, won’t the match be on?

Not bad. It might be time to let JoGo off the leash 
I really want us to win at least one trophy this year. I can’t see it today. Pep is a wily old fox, he will find a way to win this. Arne has run out of ideas. Hoping for ‘a miracle’ for us.
Oliver is the ref today, there’s a shock. I’ll have a bet on what time he awards City a penalty in the first half.
I feel much the same way as Jaffod. I’ll only be watching because we’re at the in-laws and he’s got Bein Sports. At least once the hope has gone there’s nothing left to kill you. Even were we to somehow win the competition it still wouldn’t make up for the performances we’ve put in this season against absolute dross. The sooner Slot leaves the better this club will be and if a good hiding today hastens that then that’s probably for the best.
