Match Day Thread Liverpool FC v Sunderland AFC - Wednesday 3rd December 2025 - KO 20:15

I personally think if we stay tight and compact for the first 20 minutes and limit the Liverpool attacks whilst maybe creating a couple of chances ourselves that may well prove enough to rattle Liverpool. We have proven again and again that the first goal does not put us off in the least and that we have the grit and determination to fight back for results.
Do I think we can win this game? Absolutely! Do I think we will win this game? Unsure! Do I think that Liverpool think this will be an easy fixture? Most definitely not!
Will we give them a good test? Again we most definitely will!
Really looking forward to this one and to see how RLB manages the tactics and the squad (2 games in a week) and to see how the players react. I am going to predict a tentative victory 1-2 as I believe that we will play with purpose and vigour and that will frustrate and surprise Liverpool in equal measure.

I have just read that back and in truth can not believe what I have just written! But I do believe it.

 

Going for a draw here and would be happy with it but we could pull a win out the bag in the last 10 ala Chelsea. One thing I'm sure of is I'm a lot more confident than I was going into the Fulham game.

 

Feels very similar to man united away, we missed a golden chance and were punished, moments like that change games hopefully we get the rub of the green this time

 

I just hope we don't start like we did against Man U.
We have to be on the front foot and in there faces.
Liverpool at the moment are very fickle so getting stuck into from the off will unsettle them and the dummy will get thrown out of the pram.

 

hopefully we would have learnt from that day,

close game, hopefully 1-0 win

 

This! Any chances we get simply must be taken.

 

You're absolutely right there mate, chances in all games are scarce.

Having said that I don't think we've had any outrageous fortune in our games so far ...

... so I reckon we're due a ricochet off the back of the keeper's head in the last minute when we're level.

All teams get a flukey win at some point in the season, this would be the perfect time.

 

Lets hope the supporters going down take lots of beach balls with them.

 

O yes I remember that.. if I recall correctly it was one of their supporters who threw the beachball in the pitch.
