Liverpool (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[BLUEMATT23]

3 1 to us. Poor run at Anfield ended and Raz to bag 2.

Last minute winner from Sterling.

Looking forward to hearing this blasting out from the Kop on Sunday:

Favorite part

"But that don't matter at all actually because we've got..."

Flows seamlessly imo

Aguero seems to get isolated at Anfield with the midfield 15 yards behind him.

This warm weather training won't help them ... time and again it's been proved the teams don't do well in the very first game back ... we lost FA Cup tie a couple of years back I think to Boro ... their players will feel cold(er) than usual coming from there and ours would be right at home ;)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I think this time I'm just gonna trust Pep. People have doubted us before every big game this season and we've outplayed the lot of them so this time I'm just going to assume that Pep has a plan, the players will show up and we'll tear them a new arsehole. Like we did to Tottenham, Arsenal, United... and Liverpool themselves in September. They won't have forgotten the humiliation of that defeat.

I think we'll win.

You left the most impressive performance of the lot out.....

Time to break the bogey away form and get a long overdue win at klanfield. Weather the first 20min storm as they will go gung ho to nab a quick fire 1 or 2-0 lead

Get past that and assume control of the ball and liverpool will start to drop deep. VVD is a decent defender but he wont cure all their defensive frailties.

It is those first 20minutes which will dictate they way this game will go

I have faith that it will be our time to shine at klanfield on Sunday

Depends who plays. If we have D. Silva and KDB and Delph playing we can win. But if we have to have Danilo in front of Otamendi, I think Salah will rip us to pieces on the left side. And if Dave isn't playing, we won't keep hold of the ball enough under pressure from them and KDB won't have enough space to do what he does best.

Our best side wins this. Our weaker side (as fielded from time to time lately) gets beaten.

 

[LFC-Fans]

Everyone will have to be on it for us to get anything from this. Salah will have to be fit, Mané has to find his form again and Van Dijk has to commmand our backline.

A win isn’t out of the realms of possibility. I think we do have what it takes and if anyone can beat you, it’s us. Especially at Anfield. It’s just about everyone showing up on the day.

Personally. I’d go:

Mignolet
Gomez Matip Van Dijk Robertson

Can Wijnaldum

Salah Lallana Mané

Firmino​

Here goes nothing.....

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Don't think either side will be too happy with the appointment of Andre Marriner, he's pretty blind, last season he missed Aguero's elbow on Reid from a couple of yards, he missed Walkers push on Sterling and Monreal's last minute basketball at the Emirates.

 

[aguero93:20]

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Delph

Dinho
De Bruyne
Silva

Sterling
Aguero
Sané

Team picks itself really with current injuries, would prefer to have Jesus available but it is what it is.

 

[Len Rum]

Oh dear.dreading this game.

Come on Mods , this guy is on every pre match thread taking the proverbial.

 

[Easy]

Team picks itself.

I know Anfield is probably our toughest away game but we did beat Chelsea, rags, Napoli away this season.

Coutinho is a significant loss for them. Salah is returning from injury so hopefully he’ll be out of form. Their attack will be dangerous non the less.

I am confident because I think we have a big advantage. Sane and Sterling vs Gomez/Alexander-Arnold and Robertson is a match up nightmare IMO especially if the game will be more open.

My only worry is Stones who looks like he’s not 100% match fit yet.

 

[Andouble]

hate playing Sterling in this fixture, but think we have no other choice with current personnel and no Sanchez yet.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Spurs at Wembley is not harder than Anfield. They are also significantly weaker than last season.

Disagree , Spuds can defend

 

[SWP's back]

We’d have beaten these cünts at Anfield last year I’m sure had Yaya not had his brain fart.

I think it will be a draw this weekend but wouldn’t be surprised at all by a win. Expecting a Chelsea away performance.

Looking at that team , the only player i would consider in our line up on current form would be Salah , the other ten wouldnt even make our bench.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Last year we had:

........................Bravo
Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov -
......Yaya Touré, Fernandinho -
...Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva -
..............Aguero

Couple of upgrades nowadays.
Pep wants to win this.
Next game 6 days after.

...wouldn’t be surprised at all by a win. Expecting a Chelsea away performance.

Me too!

 

[KCblue]

Hope we smash this lot but think it'll be tight. It's all about how we take our chances and about handling Salah and Mane. Think Fernandinho and Silva getting a rest is huge, as well as Otamendi and Delph. One thing's certain: expect De Bruyne to have a big game, he dominated the matches against the top five in the first half of the season.

Going for Liverpool 2-3 City. Mane and Wijnaldum for them, De Bruyne, Aguero, and Sane for the good guys.

 

[Indaparkside]

We've always come up with the goods this season when the challenge is on, just play like we can and we'll beat them 3_1 talkshite, sky, and the BBC will go into meltdown
