Yes I went to that three penalties wasn’t it?
Ian Rush loved a dive in front of the kop and refs bought it!!

I remember a cartoon in one of the fanzines from the time where a Liverpool player is fouled in defence and the ref awards a pen - at the other end of the pitch

I’m surprised to hear he would be bothered by “championship tackles” compared to some of the shit I’ve seen him take from Central American teams when playing for Canada.

I'm reasonably confident that Haji will start and EMC will rest. I sort of feel that Lati will keep his place so 2 changes from Leicester...

So Haji plays LW?

Yeah he seems to score when he starts then gets dropped.

Hopefully Wright puts in a shift.

Eccles deserved the start too.

Honestly I think that wouldn't be bad, EMC needs a rest and Yang probably not ready to start

EMC was always going to start but I reckon he’ll be subbed off after 70.

Not his biggest fan but that’s harsh on Simms, what more is he expected to do. Pressure on Haji to put in a shift tonight

Not sure about Simms being dropped either, but the bench looks very good.

Interesting dropping Torp.

Its clear he's not going to be playing 90 minutes for the last 18 games or so. Thats why we are looking at Onyeka i guess.

Eccles and Wright rewarded for good sub appearances, fair enough maybe. Sakamoto not though, perhaps because of Esse’s Millwall connection. We’ll see BTA and Simms and Saka in the second half in sure. Lati keeps his place

He really loves Wright doesn’t he ? It must be that wonder goal from 1/2 yard that swung it.

Haji has a good record of scoring against Millwall, hopefully score another brace tonight

Because he’s been excellent this season and Torp can’t be expected to play all of the time

He was more of a threat when he came on than Simms at the weekend. Simms only attempt on goal was the slight deflection off his calf

he’s been good when called upon, if not a little inconsistent, but I wouldn’t say he was excellent, particularly on the weekend, and Torp was our best midfielder

oh well, we’ll see later

You could see Haji was up for it on Saturday in his 1st couple of minutes on the pitch. I'd give him 30 minutes and if he doesn't show same resolve as against Leicester I'd sub him and give Simms an hour. That would tell him he can't play only when he wants to. No doubt he's the best striker when he's up for it.

I hope Sakamoto gets a goal tonight. Feel a bit bad for him rightly or wrongly that he didn't get the finish against Leicester. Would be great if he could score, and it'll be a big confidence boost to have more of our attacking players scoring goals again.

His shot wasn’t going in until Wright hit it

He played really well when he came on Saturday and I'd say gives us a bit more of solidity thanTorp
