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

He's going back 3 mate without a doubt.

 

just hope we put up a decent perfoprmance
i wont get home until about 8pm, be finished by then wont it?

 

I'm the same missing it because of the lads training. I hope some of the lads prove a point and fight for a place.

 

Lallana is fit again so hopefully might get some game time to get match fitness back up

 

Bloody hope not

 

That's a 424 "diamond"

Based on that eleven, just move Firmino back slightly and make it an attacking 433...

Migs
Can - Gomez - Sakho - Moreno
Rossiter
Coutinho - Firmino
Origi - Ings - Ibe​

 

No way he'll stick Gomez in there with Sakho it would make too much sense he'll play Toure in there with them, he hasn't got the balls to play the young lad with Sakho.

 

Gomez will play RB I imagine and Moreno will come in at Lb with Sakho and Toure in the middle

 

That's what I'd expect too...

Migs
Gomez - Toure - Sakho - Moreno
Can - Rossiter
Ibe - Firmino - Coutinho
Ings​

 

Think Origi will start rather than Coutinho but other than that, would expect something similar.

 

I was tempted to say Origi but it would have been instead of Firmino instead. Coutinho didn't play at the weekend.

 

Brod as apparently confirmed that Sakho and Origi will play...

"My approach is what I did in this competition when I first came in: we played players who were needing games and it gives me a chance to look at some younger players and back then we finished top of the group," added Rodgers, who confirmed Mamadou Sakho will make his first appearance of the season and Divock Origi his first start

I finish work at 1pm and will go straight to the pub. Hopefully by the time the match kicks off I will be suitably inebriated enough to make that dull excuse for football we have been playing seem more entertaining.

 

I read somewhere that Rossiter is also starting.

 

With Hendo, Lucas, Milner and Allen all missing leaving just can and Rossiter, I don't think there is any other option.

 

I think Rodgers will go............


-------------Migs

----------Can - Rossiter
-----Origi - Firmino - Coutinho
--------------Ings

Well I hope so because that's 12 players and gives us an obvious advantage.

 

Despite Liverpool's stuttering start to the season Bordeaux boss Willy Sagnol was not in overly confident mood.
"A good time to play Liverpool? When you are Bordeaux, I do not know if there is one," he said.

 

He's not taking the EL seriously and using it as a change to mess with selections imo. He doesn't want to mess with fiddling in the PL.

 

What?
Sacrilege!

 

FFS, that's twelve players
