Sparta Prague vs Liverpool: Europa League, R16, March 7 Thursday, 17:45

Mascot’s left the building after throwing a hissy fit from seeing the line up.

Guess that leaves the next best man for the job…

No I’m kidding.

We can still hope no new injuries arise until the end of the season. But injury free? No, there are still at least Matip and Thiago to keep medical department busy.

Good team. Elliot is better off in the midfield rather than having him fill in the RW position.

I hope Cody gets some form back.

If we had just one injury in the first team, I would say we were massive favorites. We are still favorites, but this may be difficult and we may get disappointed. It is clear to me that we have to save primary players for the massive game against City, which is just too close for comfort recuperation-wise. So I don’t know what to expect. On paper our team isn’t that strong, but Maccalister has been a great this season, Elliot has been good, as has Konate and of course Kelleher. Nunez might be a terror for them. Roberson requires more game time to reach his top form, a good game to start for him.

I am not worried, I think we will cope with the game, but it’s away and I would not be surprised if we lose. I really, really want this title and I know our team and management do too. But that dreadful game against City is looming.

Ah, well, no use writing more words, @PeachesEnRegalia will just shower me with “Na na, didn’t read” memes :smiley:
Good luck everyone :slight_smile: Crossing fingers and toes :sunglasses: Love you all !

I’d keep Diaz on the right with Gakpo either left or as a CF. I think Nunez has done well whenever he’s come in from the left too.

Never mind that…

Who is opening the thread for The Cheaters on Sunday… Whoever it is might need to be writing the game abstract now… in readiness for it landing on the forum in as little as 3hrs :0)

You say that, but none of us are certain you are completely honest about kidding :stuck_out_tongue:

Adrian at half is going to be an issue for most of you. I will of course maintain equanimity.

Yeah, Salah, while we have to save him for City, is probably very rusty and actually migh need to play at least 20 min, maybe more, to get in shape for the City game. Ideally, those coming back from injury and we want to play against City, should get some minutes, but not a lot, in this game. But we only have a few subs so not everything can be ideal.

Why would you play Adrian though ? I am not at all antagonistic towards him like some, but physical stress far less on keepers. And Kelleher imo just requires more games now that he is high on confidence and in really fine form. As long as Allison is not fresh, I say play Kelleher always when fit and Adrian when Kelleher is injured.

Does anybody know of any streams that actually work ?

Usually, one here will be stable. I have to use it myself tonight.

Tbh I’m not even sure myself if I’m being 100% honest.
