Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

[depps]

I'm feeling good about today. Pep is definitely the type of manager that learns from his mistakes and will have a plan for today.

First half of the 2nd CL game last year we played them off the park and no reason we can't repeat that for 90 minutes. I expect the team to be well up for this and looking to lay down a marker.

I going to be bold and predict a 1-4 win for us.

You quite obviously didn't know he wasn't to be in the sqaud, which was the point, as you derided that notion from another poster.

He's back to his usual standing now.

Ah! I see. You have a point there.

Mendy playing means he’s dropped Sane, Mahrez takes Sterling’s better position (unless he plays left side) Otamendi or Kompany should be playing , I think it’s unbalanced & experimental in a game like this is crazy .

You have to go Stones and Laporte in this game because we need players who can pass around the press, and Otamendi gets terribly exposed against pacey players.

The pessimist in me says a 5-0 loss.
The optimist in me says a 2-0 loss.

Not like Sterling was playing really well on the left at the start of the season.

I meant Mahrez on the left

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Either of our fit left back options are going to be vulnerable today. Zinchenko is pretty much untested against a quality winger.

I know. Delph has been so dependable there, pity he's not playing today.

 

[Homar]

Honestly, I’m expecting to lose. Just hope we’re not on the wrong end of a thrashing. I’d celebrate a point.

 

[mancityvstoke]

Great..................we've given up before we start.

I see a win today....watch this space

 

[FantasyIreland]

Delph is a huge miss,his leadership is underestimated and he would have helped rebalance the physicality.

I cant predict this.

Sky going big on pep saying he is scared

John not sounding very confident
