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...

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.

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).

Stick it up their arses Raheem

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.
