CL Table
P W D L GF GA GD Pts
Spartak Moscow 3 1 2 0 7 3 4 5
Liverpool 3 1 2 0 10 3 7 5
Sevilla 3 1 1 1 6 7 -1 4
Maribor 3 0 1 2 1 11 -10 1


Well we enter this game on a winning streak , of just 1 admittedly , playing a team we stuffed 7-0 at their place a fortnight ago so the money has to be on a disappointing 28-0 win for us with Salah alone missing 13 clear cut chances.
Lineup prediction
err I give in as would expect lots of second stringers to play but with how things are at present who knows. There may even be a minor miracle when the exeedingly rare lesser spotted Red Robertson is spotted on the wing.

 

Hopefully we fill our boots here and Spartak lose.

If this happens I think we will be 3 clear of spartak and 1 clear of seville at the top with 2 to go?

If we then win just one of the last 2 then we will go through and I really fancy us v Spartak at home.

 

in your scenario i suspect a 0-0 draw against Spartak puts us thru on head to head record by virtue of away goal though i'm too lazy to check .

 

Are we going the first double digit score in the CL? In theory we should be able to score even more at home.

 

Who are the officials?

 

they are the folks wearing black & randomly blowing whistles , waving flags and coloured cards.
happy to help.

 

Ffs Solid - get it right. We're top of the table, not the Rus.
We have to enjoy these things while we can.

 

Away they'll put everyone behind the ball and play for an unforced OG

not according to EUFA.com though i'm not sure what criteria they're using.

We should win and I think we will win, but no chance they will let it go for a thrashing again. Something like 2-0

 

False ones, obviously. We have the same points, better GD, have scored more and conceded the same, and the head to head was a draw at their gaff.
Even the Beeb couldn't think of a way of not putting us top.

Perhaps they go by furthest East?

 

have no idea but since we are talking about EUFA probably down to amount of fossil fuels produced in the respective clubs countries.

 

Maribor are the whipping boys of our group, they are coming to defend, unlikely to be a cricket score.

 

Depends who plays and how early we score tbh... if coutinho plays and we score inside 10mins you can pick the score.

I reckon a nice 3-0 will do me fine

 

Be nice to see a proper European night at Anfield with singing an' everything - remember that Fans need to realise they have a say in the outcome.

I'm extending that sentiment to the naysayers on here too. #optimismrules

 

Provided we see some decent football, we get no more injuries, and we win I am not bothered how many we score. I am easily pleased

 

I know what you mean. Its not a big night it's a stepping stone. And it's not one to slip on and break ones ankle

 

Grujic and Woodburn to play

 

Even if we score early it won't make them come out from behind the bus though. After losing 7-0 at home, they're just going to want to keep the score down.

 

True enough for sure but 1-0 serves us just as well at 10-0 really.

They were so awful at home that even if they park 11 men back I think we can score off that keeper and cbs.
