Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse..!! I cannot believe when we have so many injuries Roy thinks it's the right time to rest our only creative and best available player - "because he's just back from injury" You couldn't make it up..!! Is Roy trying to get the sack..!!

Let's hope for an early Christmas miracle!! Hopefully we'll see some effort and application this afternoon, along with some tactics to take chances if we keep it 0-0 until later in the game. Like the immaculate conception if we win people will be asking 'how did they score without getting it in the box?' Perhaps this line-up is the greatest ever Trojan horse? I do have to admit, with our injuries and the need to rest Olise it would take God himself to mastermind anything other than a brave 0-0. Personally I would have started Ahamada just to add some pace, but in reality it's unlikely that would make much difference. If we're 2+ goals down on the 70-mintue mark we'll probably see Franca get some minutes, because based on Roy's comments he'll only play when there's nothing left to play for. One thing to bet on is the commentators saying "Well Liverpool have some important players missing" if they are held to 0-0, but barely any mention of our injuries if we get turned over.

Christ on a bicycle. You’ve got to admire Roy haven’t you. The ability to keep trying to shoehorn square pegs into round holes. I’m beginning to think Mrs Hodgson doesn’t want him round the house. Mrs Roy “are you going to mow the lawn love” Roy “my old mower doesn’t work properly” Mrs Roy “but we got you that new electric mower” Roy “yes but I don’t trust it”
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name. |

I get Olise not playing, we can't afford to risk it so soon after a long layoff in a game we are unlikely to win. However for the same reason why not play Franca, it's a free hit we could get lucky and the kid puts in a match winning performance. If he flops so what no real loss we've conceded this game already.
One more point |

I think it's a good point that this game is so heavily stacked in Liverpool's favour it does seem an opportune time to give him or even Ahamada a start. We have 9 defensive players on the pitch and even Ayew is about as defensive as you get for a wide forward. I doubt anyone is expecting much from the game so give them a go. The only hope we have today is if Roy has a plan to use Schlupp's pace to exploit the space left behind TAA, but that seems optimistic.

Is Roy trying to get the sack..!! Wll according to his PC yesterday that what the medics advised him to do...there only about 4 on the pitch are EPL quality, on the bench we have 1 quality EPL player and the rest are either unproven or would struggle to play in championship. We may as well rest them all and give Liverpool the points, at least that way we will not any further injuries

Just seen the team. A complete lack of ambition, we will be 1-0. Down and the game plan will be out of window. We know Roy doesn't have a plan B either.

25 mins in and I can't fault the players commitment or work rate so far. Its frustrating that it's taken losing vs 2 team at the lower end to see their workrate pick up and to see Edouard actually running.
