    Liverpool v Leeds Utd
    Saturday 12th September 2020 17.30 | Anfield


    Liverpool begin the defence of their Premier League crown against Championship winners Leeds at Anfield on Saturday evening. Having missed out on the first opportunity for silverware in the Charity Shield, Jurgen Klopp will ensure that all his players all fired up for this one.

    The Reds will be without Oxlade-Chamberlain and Henderson (injuries) whilst Tsimikas is in isolation having tested positive for Covid 19.

    Whilst I'm sure every Leeds player cannot wait to step out on the hallowed Anfield pitch, it is difficult to think of a harder game anywhere in the World!

    Bielsa must choose between the experience of Casilla or the youth of Meslier between the sticks. The Spaniard was highly tipped to leave in the Summer, but if this were the case why would have started both pre season friendlies with Casilla in goal?

    It is expected that German International Robin Koch will start alongside Liam Cooper with Ayling at right back and Douglas at left back.

    Phillips suffered no ill effects after the England game, and will sit in front of the defence!

    Klich and Hernandez look set to occupy central midfield with Costa and Harrison out wide and Bamford as lone striker.

    We can expect to see marquee signing Rodrigo make an appearance at some point at Anfield.

    Just switching back to season mode......

    Bamford is ****e.
    Casilla shouldn't be anywhere near the team.
    Cross the damned ball Harrison.
    Did we really spend 15 million on Costa?
    Pablo started to look his age.
    League 1 Liam.

    Suffice for now?

    We'll start slow, be 2 down at half time then come out and absolutely destroy you 5-2 in the 2nd half.

    TBH I will be happy with a 2-0 defeat. Anything better than that will be a bonus and anything worse won't be a shock.

    Had high hopes of de Paul signing but not going to happen. Draxler, if true, sounds like a waste of effort if he has already stated he doesn't want to leave.

    Reminds me of a joke - what's the difference between a bonus and a blow job?

    We're doomed for this one Sucky...doomed I tell ya.

    Most of us would take an honourable 2-0 defeat and get out of there.

    Hoping for a good performance and if we can get a draw or win then even better.

    I reckon the starting 11 will be
    Meslier
    Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Dallas
    Costa, Hernandez, Klich, Harrison
    Bamford

    With Rodrigo coming on in the second half to score the winner.

    Nah you'll deffo score I reckon. we've been leaking goals since the end of last year and it's carried on in pre season, like I said I reckon you'll catch us cold early on.

    But then we'll put our foot on yor neck... So to speak

    I don't think we will win but defeat is not acceptable.

    Hoping we can pinch something, expecting a hiding.

    I have literally no idea how we will do this season. We could do a Keegans Newcastle job or end up like Norwich last year. Somewhere in the middle will do me but it's the Bielsa factor that intrigues me. Genuinely excited to see how all this goes.

    Yh and? <laugh>

    Tbh I thought these Leeds lads had more minerals. More belief in thier side but clearly deep down beneath all the faux optimism they don't think they can compete.
