Wasn't happy at all with Pep's starting XI at Liverpool in April 2018. I'm happy now, hope the result is the opposite to that at Anfield :)

Didn't Liverpool lose four times away in this competition last season?

They'll never win anything with a record like that!

My spider senses detecting news of starting x11 not exactly a confidence boost ahead of the game.....

Just imagine if Laporte was still injured too....

x12 months ago, we'd have had Ederson/Kompany/Laporte with Fernandhino in front of them and

been confident of beating anyone, with any x5 out of this silva/silva/kdb/kun/sterling/sane/jesus.

Hopefully, as European tie, Rodri gets pressed a little less and can be more attacking pass minded.

Its a x2 legged tie, hopefully we can come home with a win but please with at least a goal or two.

KDB needs to take hold of this game early on and then they will be scared off him for remainder.

2:2 KDB MOM

He failed to win 7 of his first 9 Champions League away KO ties.

No one seemed to care when he came home with 2 trophies from those 3 years though.

It's a shit stat. Loads of teams win the whole competition by drawing away, or losing with an away goal and then winning at home.

I thought you liked a stat? it's a poor record,we would say it was for anyone else

We are the only team in Europe which wouldn’t play its best striker I.e Aguero

Would Bayern drop Lewandowski?

Loads of blues being turned away at the turnstiles apparently. 6 lots of queues Togo through

Togo through to what? The African ... oh never mind

I like good stats. As someone has pointed out, Liverpool lost 4 away games last season and won the title.

6 losses from the last 10 games away from home.

Perhaps Pep really does wa t to be sacked?
Fern clearly has a knock so maybe not much choice?

If he's fit for the bench then he's fit to play. At least that ends the will fern ever play midfield again for us mystery. Clearly it's a no.

Pep did in charge of Bayern.
