Would start Cody at lw with lucho had some difficult time with his dad being hospitalised, wish his father speedy recovery well hope lucho stay strong YNWA lucho❤
I agree. I think Endo would be perfectly capable of managing the def/midfield. In fact, maybe, given all the goals conceded, that's what we need: a slightly more defensive setup.
Can't help feel that Gravenberch needs a rest at some stage of the season -along with VVD he's invaluable in this team atm. I hope that either Endo gets used more or sign someone in that position
I can't recall a season where nearly all of our opponents in past few weeks have had so many injuries. It looks like the same against West Ham. Pretty much like the Leicester game we should have their measure and I hope the defence doesn't give away the obligatory stupid goal. West Ham will have more in the final third with Bowen and Kudos bombing on so I hope Robbo has done his homework if he is picked.
Hello,l Craig and family, thank you for another predicted 11 upload. 6:08 Honestly the Cody and Salah connections reminds me of our famous front 3, i wouldn't drop Gakpo. Here's my predicted starting 11:- Alison Trent, Gomez,VVD, Tsimikas. Harvey, Gravenberch, Macca. Salah, Lucho, Gakpo. My predicted score:- West ham 1-4 Liverpool.
I think endo could start cos he played them earlier in the season and played well and as grav is one yellow away from a suspension we don’t want him out for united
Great idea, but we already have 2 nailed on starters out. Szoboslai and Konate. Cant seeing Slot experimenting further in this game. Its a tricky game.
@@royallan6560 nope we play a 4-2-3-1 if szobo was playing he'll play as a cam next to salah and diaz/gakpo, curtis always plays cam if he starts for liverpool
Great video Craig, yeah for me this Christmas was better than 2021,2022 and 2023 in terms of food because my sister made a lovely macaroni and cheese for the first time which we've never had on Christmas day before.
I think Craig went for the 11 he wants to start, not the 11 he thinks will start. I think the following will start: Becker, TAA, Gomez, VVD, Robertson, Salah, Gravenberch, Macca, Jones, Gakpo, Diaz, perhaps Kostas in for Robertson... Darwin off the bench to miss a few sitters lol kidding 😑
I don’t know if anyone will be here this late but if someone could why is salah only -100 to get a goal is he injured or something isn’t he supposed to be amazing 16 goals in 17 games is he injured or something or is it just them being disrespectful?
Totally agree with your starting 11 Craig, for me if Curtis starts it should only be for Macailster, as that is were Jones looks more comfortable playing down left side, I feel when starting on the right he has struggled and seems to want and look to come back onto the left.
Hi Craig hope all is well. I know you don’t think we’ll get Davies. But I think the club would be disingenuous to say opportunistic. He will be a free agent in the summer, hence available to sign a free contract starting next week. His numbers are phenomenal from progressive passes to deep completions in the final third. I want to personally solve the LB spot in Jan, but if not I’d happily sign Davies on a pre contract for the summer coming up.
Good line up, I think he stays with Jones for the familiarity and continues to use Elliot as a really good substitute. Looks like West Ham has injury and suspensions as well and they have nowhere near the quality depth we have. Soucek is a big absence for them. Bowen dangerous, but I see a 3-0
Miracle we are top of the table, leading so much, considering Nunez has been part of the team and delivered N O T H I N G in terms of goals and assists. Basically we have been attacking a man down for much of the campaign. Against West Ham I would go tight, and defensively, rotate. We don't need to play expensive this game. Need to get back to keeping it tight, then Salah, Jota, Gakpo or Diaz will do the rest. Endo my choice, looked hungry and ready. Elliot too perhaps, need game time.
Would be happy with that back 5 and midfield..Up front i would go with Salah,Diaz but keep Darwin in..Jota needs minutes to get back to full match fitness..Can bring Jota on after 60 if need be...or put Darwin left with Diaz in the middle..Still think Darwin would be better wide left..
All these contract uncertainties and messes are definitely created by the incompetent LFC management themselves. MU fans, MC fans, Arsenal fans, Chelsea fans, and Spurs fans are seriously holding on to these contract messes as their hope for stopping Liverpool this season.
Tsimikas is not good enough for LFC and IMO never will be. Robbo made one mistake against Leicester but otherwise had a solid game so he starts this one for me. A real shame Szobo isn't available, so it's a toss up between Elliot and Jones in midfield. I'm going with Curtis, with Harvey to come on as sub maybe on the hour mark if necessary, though I'd be perfectly OK with the reverse happening. I'd pick the same trio upfront that ran Spurs ragged last week - Salah, Diaz and Gakpo, with Lucho playing that similar role again. Gotta start Cody after his excellent display on Boxing Day.
Completely true, some liverpool fans are just deluded and wonder why Slot doesn’t give him any minutes lol. He’s the reason we got knocked out of the fa cup last season to United
How is Craig Bias towards Elliott, he has not started or even mentioned to start, and with Szob missing Elliott makes sense as he plays on the right of midfield, unlike Curtis who can only play on the left.
Jones and Cody need to play instead of Elliot and Jota. Liverpool need to win more titles 1 since 1990 not good enough in that timeframe Leeds, Blackburn and Leicester won it and they are small clubs aren’t they?. Let’s go with our strongest then a week off.
Jaden Dan's has missed almost a year of foitball, he needs far more mins before even thinking he would be a option, FA Cup game yes. League game, Dear God NO
Szoboslai banned is making sure we will win it .Its very good for us that this flopp cannot play as Jones and Elliott can play .And they are better than him in any way .
Craig you really didn’t need to make it add free you need to make a living aswll
If we fast forward through the sponsor bits does he make as much money?
@@treesarecool12345678depends on the contract he has with the brand - normally it doesn’t affect, as most of the time it’s already pre-agreed 🫡
He'll never walk alone ❤
No need to make it ad free
Have you seen his subscription numbers etc...come on mate.
He makes over 100 in superchats ever time he talks live lol plenty of TH-cam doh
Need a defensive & midfield signing next month .
Would start Cody at lw with lucho had some difficult time with his dad being hospitalised, wish his father speedy recovery well hope lucho stay strong YNWA lucho❤
Cody is a booking away from missing the utd game next week, so we need to be careful, even though the mancs are shite!
@@stueymacc oh didn't know that I change my mind😂😂 thanks for the information
I'd like to see Endo get a start. Ryan could play in a pinch, but I think he needs a break.
I agree. I think Endo would be perfectly capable of managing the def/midfield. In fact, maybe, given all the goals conceded, that's what we need: a slightly more defensive setup.
@@Buenossss 7 days off until we play the rags.
To me ryan will play for 70min? After we score some goals.. after that endo will play to play defends.
Tough match west ham is tough so need to be careful don’t go by their form they have got quality players
Can't help feel that Gravenberch needs a rest at some stage of the season -along with VVD he's invaluable in this team atm. I hope that either Endo gets used more or sign someone in that position
I like to see Endo, Gravenberch and Macca in the midfield.
I can't recall a season where nearly all of our opponents in past few weeks have had so many injuries. It looks like the same against West Ham. Pretty much like the Leicester game we should have their measure and I hope the defence doesn't give away the obligatory stupid goal.

Alison. Trent Gomez Virgil Tsimkas. Gravenberch Macca. Salah Szoboszlai Gakpo. Jota. Prediction 3-1( Salah 2 and Jota)
Szoboszlai suspended

Thanks for the content
Frustrated that szobo will miss the game, I believe in Curtis to start along with macca and ryan
If Curtis plays it has to be on the left of midfield as on the right or holding he is like a fish out of water.
@@royallan6560 nope we play a 4-2-3-1 if szobo was playing he'll play as a cam next to salah and diaz/gakpo, curtis always plays cam if he starts for liverpool
Ye, stupid decision fra Slot to put him on.. had many options to let Sobbo rest..
We could play macca as a 10, that can work
@@Lord_Afgulshut up... Respect the boss
Great video Craig, yeah for me this Christmas was better than 2021,2022 and 2023 in terms of food because my sister made a lovely macaroni and cheese for the first time which we've never had on Christmas day before.
Trent apparently agreed to join Madrid if that's true Send him to reserves. We don't need him he's liability
Cannot agree more!
I think Craig went for the 11 he wants to start, not the 11 he thinks will start. I think the following will start: Becker, TAA, Gomez, VVD, Robertson, Salah, Gravenberch, Macca, Jones, Gakpo, Diaz, perhaps Kostas in for Robertson... Darwin off the bench to miss a few sitters lol kidding 😑
GOOD MORNING GREETINGS FROM THE HEATHROW AIRPORT AREA OF WEST LONDON CRAIG ✌🏽
Happy new year Craig and come reds❤🎉

I’m watching the game with my uncle and cousin who are united fans. The banter is gonna be legendary 😂
Jota minutes will still be ramped slowly. Expect him to be used last 35 minutes for a few more matches until he also builds back strength.
I think that slot should try a 4-2-4. Get more attackers on the pitch, gives us more bench midfield options too. It could help with intensity too.
I agree, I would experiment Mo down the middle with Jota, with Diaz on the right and Gakpo on the left
@SussibensDiaz is dreadful on the right. He's played there a few times for us over that side
4-1-4-1 is better
@dwayneterence7456 he's not dreadful aha he's fine on the rw stop over exaggerating
@dylanwyatt-brown3624 I'm not. He is awful on that side. We won't see that again for now anyway. Thank gog

Goal against Aston villa, assist against arsenal for Salah assist for Jota against Fulham, please do some research before posting.thx
Trent Alexander-Arnold has told Liverpool he wants to leave for Real Madrid
You know what. I think Slot is doing just fine doing whatever he's doing.
Would be happy with that back 5 and midfield..Up front i would go with Salah,Diaz but keep Darwin in..Jota needs minutes to get back to full match fitness..Can bring Jota on after 60 if need be...or put Darwin left with Diaz in the middle..Still think Darwin would be better wide left..
Just watched robbie say, we started copying their set pieces😏😏😏
Craig bring back the ads, it's good money for you. We can deal with them😂 love your content man!!
All these contract uncertainties and messes are definitely created by the incompetent LFC management themselves.

Craig, I wouldn't dare Differ with you, mate.
Elliott is not good enough to be a starter, especially away from home
If he had pace or body strength or one of the two, maybe......
Completely true, some liverpool fans are just deluded and wonder why Slot doesn’t give him any minutes lol. He’s the reason we got knocked out of the fa cup last season to United
Whats everybodies thoughts on possible signings in January do we reckon we will had anyone?
I personally prefer Kelleher in goal 😊
Agree very much with ur selection Craig! I’m going 2-1 to us
Even before his injury, Elliott didnt start + Slot only brings him on during the meaningless part of games. Doesn't rate him and neither do I.
I wish we can rest to Gravenberch because he’s one yellow card away from suspension
I would start Tyler Morton this game
Now that would be a surprise
@@VictorVic-p9f makes sense in my head, west ham are weak so it would be good to start him this game
gravenberch 1 yellow away from a ban and you put him in the team would be silly playing him in this game endo has to start
I'm sure he has a poster of Elliot. The bias is insane 🤣
How is Craig Bias towards Elliott, he has not started or even mentioned to start, and with Szob missing Elliott makes sense as he plays on the right of midfield, unlike Curtis who can only play on the left.
😂🤣😂🤣
Wheres the pub team striker
Ryan should be rested for MU. If he picks a yellow he will be suspended for MU game
My prediction score is Liverpool 3 West ham 0 Come on reds YNWA lets Go again 👊🥰🏆🙏🔥👊
Elsackio not elsakiko
Craigo do you think we could win the trable
He knows Elliot won't start
Did you really say that a happy holiday season. Not a merry Xmas.
Liverpool
Jones and Cody need to play instead of Elliot and Jota. Liverpool need to win more titles 1 since 1990 not good enough in that timeframe Leeds, Blackburn and Leicester won it and they are small clubs aren’t they?. Let’s go with our strongest then a week off.
Leave nunez at home he needs a rest before we sell him
Rest Grav save him for United and play Curtis instead
if you can't beat west ham, you don't deserve to be champion.
How come your not talking about the trent news last night or is it bull come on Craig your in the no on these things.
Liverpool...........two hundred and sixty five thousand million. West Ham...............nil.
WHU 0 -2 Reds
3:1 in favor of Liverpool
Our best front three at the moment are
Salah on the right
Diaz in the middle
Cody on the left
No need to over complicate it
Jota is our best 9.
Let Trent leave, who cares
West Ham.Utd 0 Liverpool 3
Jota will not start. Gakpo diaz Salah
He will start
Luis Diaz is our left Winger!!!!
And so is Gakpo.
First here 😃
Keep going about nunes should give jayden dannes the chance he could be the next Ian rush
Jaden Dan's has missed almost a year of foitball, he needs far more mins before even thinking he would be a option, FA Cup game yes. League game, Dear God NO
Liverpool 1-2 west ham
Liverpool 4 - West Ham 2 prediction
elliot....:D joke
Szoboslai banned is making sure we will win it .Its very good for us that this flopp cannot play as Jones and Elliott can play .And they are better than him in any way .
Dude at this point your random hating on Szobo just makes your comments look stupid and/or ignorant
3/10 rage bait
He can probably write English better than you - full stops in the wrong place, flop has one p, anyway is one word. and the "in" is redundant.
I think a lot of teams would like a player like Szobo, who always has the X factor.
@@Hero-uy6ge He is a wonderful player, if you understand football
