Liverpool (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

only Keown has said we have the edge the others have all said we'll lose

Have to love that form, team/squad quality, and probabilities go out the window when it’s Liverpool.

NBC saying Merlín had stomach complaints yesterday and because if that, he is on the bench

 

[Manchester1894]

We got Raheem - do do do do do do
Oh Raheem Sterling do do do do do do
He is top of the leeeeeeeeague
And he's looking down on you...

 

[Homar]

No Coutinho. No Van Dijk. As long as we don't make any defensive howlers we should at least come away with a draw. We've got to control the ball and attack at every opportunity. If we sit back and let them dictate the game then we'll be in all sorts of trouble.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Merlin on the bench, what's that about?

 

[PJM1891]

Bricking it. Win today and I'll think we'll go undefeated. Hate Anfield.

U.S. broadcast has been doing pre-match pitchside. Didn't even see Silva warming up with the other subs.

I thought I heard something about him complaining of an upset stomach yesterday so he may be ill.

The flu is rampaging around the world right now so it wouldn’t be shocking if he picked it or some other virus up during his constant travels (not to mention all that travelling, lack of sleep, and stress has likely impacted his immune system).

Silvia had upset stomach yesterday.

 

[PinkFinal]

Stick it up their arses Raheem

 

[cadds92]

I agree with Souness.

I think we might use Ederson to ping out long today rather than just go all out total football out of the back.

Liverpool are one of the best if not the best counter pressing teams so we will have to mix it up a little.

First goal crucial.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

how can you not start Dave? Weird. Hope Gundy puts in a sterling performance.

 

[Homar]

Anyone know if there is VAR?

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Haha. Protected from having his confidence ripped to shreds if we're on song today. Good move.

This is quite a staggering indicator of how good we have been this year. People have written us off as not worth even trying against - even the top teams with star players.

 

[razman]

excited today !!

 

[Armaan]

No Coutinho. No Van Dijk. As long as we don't make any defensive howlers we should at least come away with a draw. We've got to control the ball and attack at every opportunity. If we sit back and let them dictate the game then we'll be in all sorts of trouble.

If we can’t beat that team today then we’re never gonna win at Anfield. This is the day.

 

[SiMCFC]

We must start quick and not squander the inevitable first few early chances we make as we seem to do that all too often.

Sterling needs to laugh the booing off, he's playing for a side 20+ points above them ffs, who's the winner?

Come on City, lets fucking do these bastards at their shithole for once.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Anyone know if there is VAR?

He's injured

 

[SWP's back]

Anyone know if there is VAR?

There is not.

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Shame David is on the bench as he is the key to Sane playing well. Good test today, expecting a tight game with goals at both ends.
