Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

[jimmygrimblesboots]

The Dippers are going into this game believing they can roll us over , manager , players , supporters , scouse pundits and this will be there downfall , not sure i can remember the last time they came into a game against us as favourites , if we dont gift them an early goal and the referee doesnt buckle , we will win.

The pressure is all on them and their track record is not good in pressure games under Klopp. Even Mourinho has won more in the same time with apparently a far inferior team ?
They are quickly losing energy this season with the starting 11 playing too much. Their forwards are not performing as last season.
We can draw or win to stay top, they can’t. Pep will be full on for possession in this game to gain control and create some clear chances.
2-1 champions

Hope to see Danilo at LB, regardless of whether Mendy is fit.

Think we need to remember the long periods we were well on top in the league game at Anfield. Strong ref, no mistakes, we win.

If I could write the script:

They score in the first 3 mins, (salad offside goal obvs), and get a second within another 3 mins does to a blatent non-pen with red card for one of our back 3. The candle burners are foaming at the mouth. At which point we start to slowly and inexorably grind them down, bypassing their midfield and completely neutralising them... 2-1... 2-2....2-3...half time.... 2-4....2-5....2-6....2-7 by the time we score the 8th, they have their entire team camped in their own box klanfiekd is empty bar away supporters and Klopp is just sitting on the byline eating apples and sugar cubes... If only!

So that first 6 minutes sounds remotely familiar and sickening again. Let’s just hope the final 84 isn’t the stuff of fairytales.

The only way we win this is if we refrain from the usual errors we seem to make every time we go to Anfield.
We manage to do that and the rest will take care of itself.
We’re better than them all over the pitch, we’re more dangerous going forward and we will have the game plan in place that is good enough to succeed.
We’re due one and I think tomorrow is the day we finally fuck the Scouse ****s off in their own backyard.
