Liverpool (A) - Sun 10th Mar, 15:45 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[CTIDANDREW]

Strong Dippers XI for their game with Prague tonight. Not many players rested apart from Salah and 'bargain basement it's-not-about-money' Carabao Cup hero Van Dijk.

Seems obvious that Klopp has decided to rest Bradley as well.
I hope Pep positions Foden in his current form against him on his side the entire game.
Kid has got off to a decent start, but lets really test him on Sunday with the most in form player in the world right now.

 

[Holcombe bloo]

Why is the kick off at 3.45?!?

It takes a while to gather that many rocks pyros and drink enough empty bottles you know!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Why is the kick off at 3.45?!?

Police vans not available later for dippers to throw rocks and bottles off

 

[Metal Biker]

the video is even better - look at his face haha

oooh he had to compose himself there, as a representative of MCFC.

"Okay, how can I call the guy a ****... without saying the word ****..."

Erling gets us.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Why is the kick off at 3.45?!?

So they can show the bus welcome, the singing dirge about walking, Klopp's "This is Your Life" and interview as many ex Liverpool players as possible.

I see City have learned from previous bottle smashing incidents in their trips to Anfield and have got new transportation for the players this time

 

[Zenmanc]

1) Transport the team in unmarked blacked out vans.
2) Fill the team bus with prison inmates armed with bats, crowbars kitted out in riot gear.
3) If any tomfoolery unfolds- open the bus doors.

I just realized finding enough individuals to make up #2 that aren't already majority Liverpool supporters would be impossible.

TAA's comments show just how deluded the dippers are. Seriously thinking that winning trophies (far fewer of them admittedly) means more to their players and fans. Maybe just playing to the crowd/cult but it really does show how bitter and deluded they are.

 

[Zenmanc]

They've gone far stronger than I expected

Old Klopp would've listed the kit man and tea lady on the bench whilst fielding the u17 squad. He's patently aware of how few trophies he's won vs. what we have in the last 10 years so he's rolling the dice.

 

[bluemoon32]

Theyll be almost full strength against us judging by that side and bench tonight

 

[marco]

think this game has Foden written all over it,1-3 city

 

[domalino]

think this game has Foden written all over it,1-3 city

Yeah I think TAAs comments were 100% calculated to try and make the game as emotional as possible, but I think the idea that high emotions benefits Liverpool is pretty outdated and players like Dias, KDB, Foden and Bernardo are all players who go to another level when they get fired up.

1-3, Foden, Bernardo, Haaland. Nunez for them.

 

[WestGorton]

Arnold is a prick and always will be. Just go and win City.

 

[paulchapo]

Theyll be almost full strength against us judging by that side and bench tonight

I always expected that.

The vast majority of the football media and pundits do not want us to win "four in a row" , even Rags will be rooting for the Dippers because we have the chance to make history this season.
A double treble and four titles on the bounce can only mean we are the best team ever to grace English football , there is no debate and makes the great Rag & Dipper sides pale into insignificance, fully expect a horrendous refereeing performance from Oliver on Sunday and the intervention of VAR to the benefit of the Dippers , we will have to be at our very best to get something , not because we are playing a good side but because we are playing the football establishment , and they dont like it up 'em.

I work in mental health and unfortunately there are some people who come to us with psychosis due to severe and prolonged exposure to trauma. Sometimes, a defence or escape mechanism was formed in an attempt to cope with the stress or abuse. The resulting psychosis can often lead to what psychiatrists refer to as delusions.

This is clearly what has happened to TAA. The prolonged exposure to the traumatic experience of being absolutely hammered by City, year after year, title after title, has inevitably led to a form of psychosis, wherein the delusions which have manifest are displayed with ludicrous statements such as this most recent one. He's lucky it's a more forgiving environment in 2024 as a few years ago they'd lock him up and experiment on him for coming out with shite like that.

 

[manimanc]

Bandy arse gobshite well and truly told.
Fuckin rat.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Konate is out for the weekend. That's a big blow for them as his pace and VVD make it tough on Haaland.

 

[MafeotulBlue]

After Mop-Head Tront’s comments I don’t give a flying fuck. I want us to go there and get three points. We’re the best team in the world.

It’s about time we silence the bin dippers and send White Teeth into early retirement.

 

[ninjamonkey]

All the chat about this mountain of injuries and they're barely missing anybody. TAA and Alisson are the only 2 likely to be missing from their strongest lineup.

Song of choice has to be 90 minutes of "have you ever won the treble" this weekend. Rub it in their murdering faces.
