Still on a come down from that irresistible wonder strike as we venture back into Premier League territory with a weekend of semi exciting fixtures.
A 3pm KO saints at home on the surface seems like an average day out, a formality. Far from it though. These are the type of games we have come unstuck in this season so to me all eyes should be on how sincere we get stuck in on Saturday. With no disrespect we should be turning these draws into wins, tomorrow is another test in this regard. We only focus on ourselves and 3 points is all we can do. Lets get them and put the pressure on.
Saturday November 27
Arsenal v Newcastle (12:30)
Liverpool v Southampton (15:00)
Norwich City v Wolves (15:00)
Crystal Palace v Aston Villa (15:00)
Brighton v Leeds (17:30)
Sunday November 28
Brentford v Everton (14:00)
Manchester City v West Ham (14:00)
Leicester City v Watford (14:00)
Burnley v Tottenham (14:00)
Chelsea v Manchester United (16:30)
One game at a time but in the peripherals we should consider the fact that we have 3 PL games in the space of 7 days , Saints (H) Neverton (A) then Wolves (A). Klopp has quite a few options in most positions in the next 7 days especially in midfield. Each player is getting valuable match minutes at the moment, it’s an unusual situation to be in where the quality, fitness and performances those players are delivering means we can play several different lineups for all 3 games and have a decent level of asurity.
Ox is having a great little patch and I mean little, but great. Someone like Ox needs to be playing consistently to add that enjoyment and freedom to his game. For me he’s a starter tomorrow. Along with Fab and the Meastro. Hendo can continue his gradual match fitness recoup and cement a starting place vs Everton which we’ll need him for.
I think Klopp is eyeing up rest minutes in games now knowing a congestion is imminent. Precious minutes for the fringe players will become more common and will bode well for Q1, especially needed for the Afcon period. Players like Minamino Konate Jota Ox and Tsmimmy will have the time to provide serious pressure on the starters. It’s all good stuff. I won’t even mention Harvey just yet.
Bring the noise !
Shout out to the DING 🙂
