TFF chit chat 3rd, 4th and 5th December

[LenH]

Just noticed Guilbert has a 1 match ban. Not the worst as against Chelsea and to be fair he's done me very well so far as cheap as chips enabler.

Also looking at plans to have a Kane, Vardy and Auba frontline which may be a step too far!

Didn't realise that but as good a game as (nearly) any to have a rest.

Or you could buy the Brighton bloke....

No chance, he's staying put at that price.

Just saw a tweet on a Leicester forum saying Chilwell has a groin problem

Reported on BBC as "a knock" but Rodgers says "Ok for weekend".

One to trust in quotes at face value I hope.

[happyhoppy]

Abraham returns, but Chilwell is left out.

The lord giveth...

For me just the lord taketh.

[LenH]

So, who do I sell to cancel out my panic sale of Tammy?

Shame Mount starts!

Same here, goddamit.

[MagicIsay]

Really wanted Mount to be benched to get tammy back in, I could put him in for AWB? Thoughts?

Thanks. Did Chilwell to Abraham in my 'Egg' team but think I'll now hold Chilwell elsewhere (where I have fewer transfers). Thing is, dare I do Mount to Abraham in those?

[LenH]

I'm the legendary 0.1 short for Mount to Tammy. Typical.

[Buster]

Just noticed that LEI play Man City and Liverpool after this weekend's game against Norwich, so maybe I could risk taking-out Chilwell for a little while. Hmm. Would bring Abraham in for him (Villa, Everton, Bournemouth)

Can afford to do Chilwell to Abraham in one team but not jerking that knee.

Mount and Cantwell going in 2 teams. Rest Tammy free.

Subject to no shocking Liverpool news.

Like having Rafa back...

Liverpool make five changes for this evening’s Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi come into attack alongside Sadio Mane, with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino on the bench.
Elsewhere, James Milner and Adam Lallana join Georginio Wijnaldum in midfield and Adrian replaces the suspended Alisson Becker in goal.
Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Lallana, Shaqiri, Mane, Origi.
Subs: Kelleher, Keita, Firmino, Salah, Gomez, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Bench stronger than the XI

What a goal! Dele Alli controls a dropping ball with a flick and slots it into the corner

Twitter

Supposed to be a new rule(/interpretation) that if the ball hits your arm, even accidentally, during the build up it is disallowed.

That is now 2 handballs Alli has got away with despite the eyes of VAR on him. Dreadful.

Both accidental but the rule has changed so that is irrelevant.

[Quin]

Origi (mane, lalalalalala)

[murf]

Liverpool 1 up

O'Rigi (Mane, probably Lallana)

Magnificent pass by Mane. Weighting and placing perfect and really had to be.

[brencarr]

Yeah, that was a great ball from Mane .... very KDB-esque

[Quin]

Shaqiri (mane, Trent) again brilliant

[brencarr]

Liverpool players are quickly showing that Klopp's rotation is working

[murf]

Shaqiri (mane, Trent) again brilliant

3 of the most deserving KCs you will ever see. TAA's fantastic diagonal and both Mane passes.

[brencarr]

Ahhh lovely ....

Goal - MOUNT
Assist - ABRAHAM

Chelsea 2-1 Aston Villa (48 mins)

[Quin]

Keane (no kc i think)

[Quin]

Mount (abraham, willian)

[Canaryfan]

Managed to end up with enough spare cash to upgrade Mount to KDB next weekend, so a parting bonus is most welcome!

[brencarr]

GOAL Man Utd 2-1 Spurs (48 mins)

Marcus Rashford picks himself up from being fouled to slot home calmly from the spot

[Thomarse]

Jesus and Man U James to Alli and Abraham is going well

[Canaryfan]

Vardy from the spot
