Match Day Thread Liquerpool v Port-o

I called Matip.

 

just the guff from JK about strong team just a couple of changes but managers lie almost as much as the average politician.

 

a twat ?

 

I think we'll see VVD, Salah and Firmino out and then Mane subbed if all is going well.

 

Should be resting Firmino and Salah tbh, the rest can take it a bit easier, knock the ball around and let Mane go on the break. Why even have the slightest chance that they pick up a knock with the United game ahead? It's not like the tie is a close 2-0 or anything, it's 5-0! They need 6 goals unanswered to go through!

Karius
Moreno (certainty tbh and won't play against united)
Lovren
VVD
TAA (won't be playing against united)
Ox
Can
Gini (Will probably be Milner, Hendo and Can against United but Can will be fine)
Mane
Ings (Might as well, get some game time as we might need a backup with a bit of confidence)
Lallana

 

I did.
It wasn't my choice as such, it's just what I think Klopp has in mind. Though I did say I think Lovren is more physically suited to the role - if he can cut out the errors.

 

phew i thought there was someone else .

 

Me, Greez and Klopp.

 

#LFC starting XI v Porto: Karius, Gomez, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Milner, Can, Lallana, Mane, Firmino

Subs: Mignolet, Van Dijk, Klavan, Alexander-Arnold, Ox, Salah, Ings

Five changes. Lallana features in Europe for the first time since the 2016 Europa League final.

 

Surprised Gomez is in thought he would play against Utd and Taa would play tonight. We should still have enough there with a 5 goal lead, although the Lovren/Matip partnership is on the the pitch with Moreno so anything could happen.

 

Slightly peeved that Firmino is not rested for utd (but then our transfer policy up front is another debate)

Otherwise satisfied with that line up

 

Perhaps a 5 goal start isn't enough after all.......

 

something tells me porto are not here to win 6-0.

this is a game for pride for them.

 

Nice of the BBC to prioritise the PSG v Real game on their front page, the citizens of Madrid and Paris must be blackmailed to pay the BBC license fee like us poor ****ers.

 

They've probably got more plazzies in the UK than we have genuine fans.

 

5 Live have that game as commentary aswell

 

it a new policy to show european elite... and utd.

i am going to complain to ukip and boris...

 

LFC should make them broadcast outside the ground when they want goal reports and interviews etc, or better still make them ask their questions from outside the Parc De France.

 

Mix and match team as expected. Surprised Firm is playing but prob come off if things are going ok.

Just about being professional tonight and not letting Porto get a couple and get their hopes up.
