Liverpool (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[city saint]

A few rumours that Van Dijk is out injured, could just be social media bollocks though.

well that's their excuse sorted if true

Watching this in The Mad Hatter NY.

Dippers 2 Sergio 4

Watching, as we speak? Oh that's right, - the time difference, didn't think of that. Any links to Sergios goal by any chance?

Let's hope your prediction turns out spot on, shall we? Personally, I'm feeling uncharacteristically pessimistic about today. .

I know it's probably considered negative but I would be quite happy with a draw, unbeaten record would be maintained and our hardest remaining game (imo) would be out of the way.

True but I just want to go all out and go for to toe with these and smash them....all the previous years there has been big pressure on us as we have been battling with teams around us....I just feel this is like a free hit and can relax and play our game with no pressure on us all on them

Yep, they would have won the league this season if not for Mané's red card apparently, so hopefully we can make this their excuse for missing out on top 4.

Virgil Van Dyk is being taken off by Klopp under the disguise of some small injury (watch him return the very next game) as he expects it will go wrong for their defence today and they’d come under pressure (their defence, the new signing, the manager, the whole lot) so putting him aside if they get tonked which he excpects would 1. give the manager and Liverpool loving pundits an excuse for them and 2. keep VVD out of the firing line and perhaps not dent his confidence for the rest of their season. Clever move from Klopp’s point of view but good for us ... as has been the case for most of this season, teams are defeated even before the kickoff ;)

I'd take the draw. But what a statement it would be if we got the win. Against the team most pundits are reckoning are the most likely to beat us, and on their own patch as well.

We should tear these a new one looking at the two teams. Don’t know why we struggle so much at anfield.

Vvd out... Some positive atleast
