He had recurrence of his injury in training last Wednesday. We haven't been told how bad it is or how long he'll be out for, but he won't be playing against west Brom.

we are a newly promoted team and have three international centre backs on the treatment table i can't think of many sides that would cope as well without. its all over the news pages about liverpool missing 3 right now but nothing gets mentioned really that we are playing with a re jigged back line, that contains players that were deemed not good enough for championship football a couple of years back and out of position. i would say we are doing remarkably well up to now.

Agree Biff. They don’t even mention it during games. Biased beyond belief

Well, that was a walk in the park.

Good win never thought we would get 5 very important 3pts

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Dec 29, 2020 9:01 pm  

Another good win. Shows the gap between us and the teams scrapping at the bottom. Some lucky goals and some quality ones.

Class tonight. They were poor but we put them to the sword which is what a good side would do. Alioski best game of season. Scored some quality goals. 6 points from those fixtures with our entire first choice centre backs out is unbelievable. Special mention to Struijk too who looks like he’s settling into things well. Could save us some money in the long run

I think what's strange us that we are shooting more goals than we did in the championship. Every game last season seemed to be close, and though we created chances we didn't show many. This season we gave scored an average of two goals a game, with a couple of 5s in there.

Being in the premiership obviously suits our style, as we don't often see teams throw 11 behind the ball
