Rangers then..next up.

Id swap Fab with Hendo. Fab was our worst player on Saturday. Nowhere for all 3 goals and just jogging around

There is a long list of players who were bad. Other than Bobby no one can say they performed.

this really depends on the type of ref we get.

If they decide that this is a "British" game and send a Scandinavian ref it could get tasty. If we get a ref that doesn't allow tackling then rangers will be in trouble.

we really need to think hard about system now. Ideal game to try out something different.

I would play nunez in this.

I think we havr to think about arsenal game as well.

TAA and Fan have been bad and would play them here and drop for arsenal game

When is konate back. We could do with dropping virgil as well for a game or two. Him and matip could do a job while virgil regroups.

It’s Turpin, French. He’s a complete schizo game to game you don’t know what you are gonna get but he’s highly rated and did this years final against RM. 0.27 red cards per game.

If we cant beat rangers at home then things are even worse than I imagined.

This is not like years gone past when the big 2 scottish sides were spending juat as much money as the top english sides. Theres an enormous gulf in class and anything less than 6 points in these two games quite frankly is unacceptbale.

Ranger can park a bus just like the best of them.

they can foul just like the best of them.

they can also send ryan kent up against trent and just wait for the inevitable.

We ought to be hockeying them but won't.

this is about 3 points and nothing but 3 points. Hopefully napoli hammer ajax as well and we can see a clear split in the group between top 2 and rest. This is crucial imo.

Again as above the ref is the total unknown. If he turns up to ref it like its an old firm derby in some mistaken thought thats what is ok then its disasterous. We want to be able to play the game.

in their last game they had a lad sent off v napoli but had held them to 70mins and the 10 men then collapsed

we couldn't hold napoli at all

therefore:

Mcgregor
lundstram Coldson davies
Taverneir Arfield Davies Jack Barisic
Kent Morelos

thart might be possible but rangers play 4231 normally. we wont know who replaces sands yet.

of course anything less than 6 points is a disaster.

we are fighting ajax for 2nd place here. lets forget napoli as on head to head we are not beating them by 4 at home to top this group.

Its
Napoli 6
LFC 3 (winning head to head)
Ajax 3
Rangers 0

We really want to see this after the two rangers games

Napoli 12
LFC 9
Ajax 3
Rangers 0

thats my ideal going into the final two round of the CL but we play ajax away.

Its absolutely VITAL to beat rangers twice. If aajx get at napoli then we have another issue inthe last two games but our job is to QUALIFY and to do that we beat whats in front of us.

Honestly if we came out of the next 12 days with 2 league draws and 2 CL wins I'd be over the moon.

I'd have Nunez starting this one for sure. Might have Gomez at RB and if fit Konate for VVD. I'd maybe start Jota on the left too.
