Man Utd (H), 8pm, 17/10/16 - Montag Nacht Fußball

[El Rojo]

I'm hoping for and expecting a win.

 

Irrespective of what happens, I'm delighted that we've Klopp as manager and that they have Mourinho rather than Guardiola, Simeone, Pochettino or Ancelotti.

[Gym Beglin]

If we lose to them then it's not the end of the world.

 

They have De Gea, Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, therefore they have a fighting chance, no matter how confident we might be in our own ability.

 

The skill/test is to be able to rationalise a loss from time to time.

 

Of course we can beat them, we could put 5 past them, but let's be rational about this. The international break has made us rabid for club footy, let's not implode if we don't pick up all 3 points.

Any updates on fitness for Lallana?

I'd be astounded if Ibrohimovic doesn't plant a header past one of our shite keepers, but hopefully we'll still have too much for them. I'm hoping and expecting the boys from Brazil will turn up for this one big time.

[Boss]

It's all about the fans this one. If the fans create the atmosphere of the Dortmund or Villareal games i can't see anything but 3 points for us and a massive meltdown from Mourinho.

 

They're inevitably going to go through the whole repertoire of Hillsborough songs, but i hope our fans rise above it and drown them out with support for the team.

I read that Dixie Dean and Elisha Scott used to share a post match pint in The Lisbon (!)

 

Stringy might be able to verify this. he was old enough to get served in there back then.

Apparently Matt Busby used to meet Bill Shankly for a pint in the Wellington pub in Eccleston, between Prescot and St Helens. Bet they had some interesting conversations.

Klopp presser today:

"I'm ready for the best atmosphere. We need EVERYBODY for this game, it for sure will help."

[thegreatelephant]

they're the ones bricking it

If they wanted to be dicks, they could have asked to see the manager and when he came out just pointed at him and laugh.

"That's not a manager! [Point at selves.] These are managers!"

Haha - I was only talking about that pub the other day.  My wife worked there for many years.

He has been passed fit for Monday after a behind-closed-doors strut during the week.

[an tha]

I'm pally with one of them lot who used to get involved in all that years ago, the word is there will be loads of them lot making a day of it looking for trouble.

 

As you've said yourself it's going to be much harder with the late K.O to keep eyes on them. There will defo be trouble somewhere at some point, I just hope no one who doesn't want to be caught up in it doesn't and it doesn't spoil future late K.O times between us.

Shithouse rats.

[Grinch]

Top of the league with a two goal win.

[Frankenhooker]

All set up for us to shit the bed. Klopp wins Manager Of The Month, first game after the international break and we can go top with a win.

 

Monday will tell us a lot about our strength of character.

[Salou]

Definitely all set up to shit the bed - god I hope I'm wrong

[Harry Squatter]

I think Nightcat has gone over to skyscraper city.com as there's some loon always posting on there constantly slagging them off in the stadium thread. He compared FSG to ISIS the other day.

Nah, three will do it though.

It has all the right ingredients for us to bottle it or for Mourinho to cunt us.

[Anny Road]

There are times when you need to stand.

Stand up to enemies, stand up to criticism, stand up to history and show the true self.

Our opponent is not the enemy.

We give them no criticism.

But we will show them our true selves.

[Jhinge Machha]

i feel like its all set up for a sucker punch. rivals dropping points, international break, manager of the month.

 

for fucks sake please just win

[Grinch]

A draw would still do nicely. Taken the six points from the next two should win games is whats really important.

Shit limerick. Doesn't even rhyme.

Exactly.

 

The triumphalism (not on here, but everywhere else I see Reds talking) is way over the top.  It's practically screaming out for a return to earth with a really painful bump.

 

Ugh, I don't even want to think about it.  Their fans will be ridiculous, and the media will be unbearable.  "Turning point for Mourinho," etc etc.
