I don’t even know what team selection I want. It’s miserable. I doubt Slot will change more than max 2 players, maybe 3 at most.
I just want us to play with more drive and gusto. Just a bit more pathos and much higher intensity.
I dream of us half-saving the season with an FA cup win, but mostly I just want to see more intensity, higher tempo and penetration. I would like to see us attack at speed, be entertained for once. We did know how to do that not that long ago. I am a bit tired of this, but I remain hopeful, but very, very cautious.
That having been said, I do think we will win this (but probably in an ugly manner tbh.)
But I long to be entertained by Liverpool, I really do. Then a loss doesn’t feel half as bad.
I don’t think we will lose against them again, but if shit happens and we do… the gas ring on the stove will really get turned up to highest setting under Slot’s arse..! Just saying is all
For me this is an opportunity to find form, a way to play, find a spark - anything that may give a bit of lift going into the next league game. I don’t mind the moody, tense grind type of a game as long as we can look back at it on Saturday say yeah, we played better and we can build on that…
Frustrated physically is never good. Particularly if it becomes vengeful. We don’t need this under any circumstances.
The game would benefit if both teams put their last game behind them. Have an honest ‘new’ approach. The last thing we need is silly injuries.
