Match Day Thread Bordeaux v Liverpool - EL Group Stage Game 1

It's back! The most prestigious European trophy available (ignoring the CL) and our first game is away to Bordeaux.

v

Neither team are going into this game in any real form with Bordeaux taking 6 points from their opening 5 league games (1 win, 3 draws, 1 defeat) while Liverpool are slightly better with 7 from 5 (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats) however Bordeaux most recent result (a 2-2 draw with PSG) is significantly better than LFC's last.

Kick off is 6pm on Thursday 17th September.

Notable Bordeaux players include Henri Saviet who was a cracking young player along with Sakho in FM I believe it was.

 

Crap. Because of Rodgers we're going to be beat by frogs now.

 

im fecking working, don't know if that's a blessing or not lol.

 

Not an easy game, Rodgers has to rotate and give some a run out. I'm finding it difficult to get into the season a spark is needed.

If we're still doing **** by mid October I'm going full time NBA and not watching footy anymore.

Don't worry, I've added a poll for you you FFS

 

Let's hope their pitch is the width of a running track....might stand a chance then

 

Plastic sheep-****ing ****

Shall I start the NBA thread now?

 

Might as well.

 

When ever I did a thread last year without a poll we won. Well done on the jinx

 

We won a game last year...

 

I reckon Rodgers will put out a decent side seeing as there's no travelling and we're home again Sunday.

Which will be even more embarrassing when we lose.

 

Mig
Clyne Gomez Sakho Moreno
Can
Milner Coutinho
Firmino
Ings Benteke


thats what is like to see played in that formation. Bring Origi and Ibe on later

 

Decent team but would be ripped to shreds as we'd need the FB's to bomb forward. We're **** at defending anyway so might as well go for it I'd put Origi in for Ings purely for pace.

 

You switched to NBA already...?


PS...we have to travel to France btw

 

Ripped to shreds any more than we have been in previous 2 games you mean

And i don't think we would. Team is full of hard workers, Coutinho can put in a good shift in that role as he did it numerous times the season before last and firmino in Germany was a very hard worker.

Plus we should be dominating the ball against Bordeaux so need creative players to break them down.

 

Could of sworn that we have four home games in a row now

 

We have...

If we're attacking then in theory they have to defend and therefore we peg them back. First form of defence is attack and all that.
