[Esteban Cambiasso]

Reckon it won't be the tonking as some expect. We'll sit back, keep it tight and limit them to very few chances. They won't score as many as we think.

7-0

I agree.

I predict it will be another tactical masterclass. We'll keep the score down to 4 0, without leaving our half and having about 10 touches of the ball, which are all hoofed out of play or to their defenders.

Wilder will parade around after like some all conquering roman emperor returning from a war.

Liverpools GF 67......GA 27
Blades GF 27......GA 77

Revised prediction.

0-0 nailed on

Nah 10-0 then it will be perfect opposites.

Nah 10-0 then it will be perfect opposites.

There's just one small problem with that

 

[Houston_Blade]

We have 2 entries in the top 5 ‘passes against’ column with 943 against City this season and 874 against Liverpool once before. This could be the third.

I just hope they fuck about with it long enough to only score a few goals and not a hatful.

77 - 27
27 - 77

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Liverpool's third goal tomorrow night will be the 350th we've conceded in the Premier League.

 

[JJ Sefton]

I’m not optimistic.

 

[jt64]

77 - 27
27 - 77

Think about what happens to our goals against number if we concede ten

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Even Ladbrokes are taking the piss.



Maximum stake is a fiver though.

Tight bastards.

 

[Chazzer]

Come on lads. Let's invoke the spirit of Jostein Flo (assisted by Adrian Littlejohn and Franz Carr) in 1994 when we tonked Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in the Premier League. We still got relegated but, hey, it was a big hit along the way.

 

[Pintor75]

Hope we do well, but Going for 3- 0, 4 - 0, Liverpool

 

[Shawy24]

I’m confident.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

A shock to the footballing world... up and coming tonite at Anfield.

 

[NAP]

I’m predicting a tight game…









at least until the 6th minute

That's an odd way to spell second

 

[Programmechap2]

The odds on us winning at Man Utd in 2021 must have been pretty long...

Straws, clutching...

 

[Programmechap2]

Biggest odds I've ever seen us in any match ever including cups.

It's ludicrous in many ways. Whens all said and done, out of all the thousands of teams playing competitive football in the country, Liverpool are the best and United the 20th best. Both in the top, what, 0.05% of teams.

How on earth did we end up with such a massive gap in quality?

It's even worse now.

Presumably driven to.some extent by the paucity of bets on United.

 

[Paul1963]

Are they giving odds on double figures yet?

 

[Programmechap2]

It's even worse now.

Going back to your cup point. You clearly would get better odds, if say Notts Co were drawn away to Liverpool in the cup as
A. Lots of Notts sentimental bets
B. Liverpool will rest players
C. Notts players see the game as a great experience rather than.going in with a "this is going to be our 7th spanking this season" mentality.

 

[Shoes_On]

28/1, might have a quid on that

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Are they giving odds on double figures yet?

I got 10-0 from bet365, honestly can’t see it actually happening to be honest but at 200/1 thought it was worth a punt.
Think we’ll lose 4-0 tonight but I just want us to turn up for once and make it as difficult as possible and maybe nick the odd goal or two

 

[Loco Blade]

Not actually met a Liverpool fan from these shores yet 3 hours into my Anfield experience. It’s the shape of things to come my friends . Be afraid be very afraid

I think that's a pretty good price. If our current squad played theirs 200 times (modern manifestation of hell), there's a fair chance they would reach double figures more than once. The 28-1 quoted, suggests that we would win 6 or 7 times, which I genuinely think is less likely.

We've been breaking the wrong records all season and, with goal difference potentially a critical factor, I too fear that Liverpool don't let up where others have gone into cruise control when 3 or 4 up.

Hope you're latter comments are closer to the mark.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Similar vibes.

 

[BalticBlade]

Liverpool's third goal tomorrow night will be the 350th we've conceded in the Premier League.

Most of them this season

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Hope we do well, but Going for 3- 0, 4 - 0, Liverpool

1st half and 2nd half scores
