Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

[urban genie]

Sterling needs to improve
Shocking one on one miss last night to go with the countless ones from last season.

Don't be daft, sterling has been great this season and last.

You would think our fans would see through the media brainwashing.

 

[Armaan]

Napoli played over the top quite a bit and Liverpool were crap at defending them balls. We need to hit fast balls over the top for sterling and sane.

 

[Armaan]

This place will explode if we can win at Anfield lol

 

[domalino]

Their recent form going into this game is now WWWLDL

However 2 of those wins were very sketchy - the 2-1 against Spurs (stonewall pen not given) and the 3-2 against PSG (tried their best to through away 2-0 lead).

They've only had 1 good game in the last 6, a 3-0 win against Southampton.

Dips have looked fucking knackered tonight v Napoli.

We’ll do them.

Saving themselves for the "we beat city cup"

Nothing to fear, let's get rid of this hoodoo once and for all.

I know Pep won’t do this, but I’d go ultra defensive for the first hour or so to tire the fuckers out, then bring on our express trains.

Ederson

Walker
Otamendi
Laporte
Mendy

Stones
Fernandinho
Delph

Silva, B.
Silva, D.

Agüero.

Then, as I said, after around an hour replace two of Otamendi, Laporte, Stones Mendy and Delph with Sané and Sterling.

And who’s the ref, Felix Byrch?

 

[kaz7]

Physically, Mendy will overpower TAA. Sane a bit flimsy, good sub though.

Sane as sub in our biggest game? put the beer down

We’ll do them.

I remember a couple of seasons ago they played on a Thursday in Turkey and we’d had a week off. Thought we’d hammer them and we played like lambs.

We need to come out fast, score first, quieten the crowd and see what they’ve got. Start on the back foot and give them momentum they’ll score and we’ll be up against it.

Jose?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Is Keita likely to be out?

Whilst they are a very good side, I think we’ll stand a good chance of victory if we can win the midfield battle.

Unfortunately, however, they usually resemble a team of drugged up Tevez’s in the first 30-35 minutes against us.

It’s now three games without a win for them, so it has all the makings of another Anfield defeat...:(

What if he does that and they get an early goal? We’d be fucked.

Keita wasn't likely to play. They'll go:

Allison; TAA-Gomez-VVD-Robertson; Wijnaldum-Milner-Henderson; Salah-Firmino-Mané.

Yep, that team was/is nailed on. Keita wouldn’t have been in the starting XI.

Why would we change our style of play,
just cut out the stupid mistakes and bad referee decisions we'll beat them.

How do we cut out the ref bias,they wil scream for everything

Not change our style just be a bit more conservative rather than going out gung ho and everyone bombing forward,Chelsea and Napoli have shown how to neutralise them,why not adapt our play for the games against these cnuts,we make it to easy for them the way we play ...

 

[domalino]

The serious answer to that is kill the crowd.

Liverpool aren't Galatasary in 90s. They're a bit more rowdy than most premier league crowds, but we go a goal up, or 2 goals up and it'll be a library.
