Hoffenheim (A) - UCL Play-off 1st leg, 7:45pm, Tue 15/08/17 - [K]lopp's [I]ntensive [T]actical [T]emplate to hassle the Hoff?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

That squad on paper isn't very encouraging at all is it?

Not as discouraging as it is on grass.

[an tha]

. Mignolet

 

A-Arnold. Matip Lovren Milner

 

Can Henderson

 

Salah Mane

Firmino

 

Best we can put out. Sad indictment.

God knows what kind of side we will have to field on Saturday - one thing is for sure this shower won't be in any fit state for a 3rd game in 7 days.

 

How can we just sit and not be buying players when this level of squad is our reality

You beat me by fractions of a second...have some rep!

[Faustus]

In fairness, only listing ten players does make it look significantly worse...

We're deffo screwed if we only start with 10!

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

My boy Marko is stealth like. Invisible assassin.

[Mark M]

Imagine going into your champions league campaign with that lot. Great forward planning.

 

We are Mane/Salah injuries away from last January levels of shite.

 

Agreed.

also coming down the track the way we seem to be going as a club is if Mane stays fit this season and tears the league up like he can are we able to hold onto him next year ? Will he want to move on like Torres, Sterling, Suarez and now Couthino ?

We have an attack, just goalkeeper, defence and midfield is our problem.

[LFC 6 Times]

Jesus that squad is depressing.

[joe_fishfish]

What do you mean? Wijnaldum's right there.

Good to see you have Winjaldum in there in his invisible role.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

The Blazin Squad has more depth than us. We're at a crossroads.

[El Rojo]

Good to see you have Winjaldum in there in his invisible role.

 

Ha. 'Covering space.' 'Taking up great positions.'  'Giving us shape.' 'Footballer's footballer.' 'Doing a lot of unseen work.'

[Russ Atmosphere]

Alexander-Arnold, Moreno, Lovren, Milner, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Can, Mane, Salah, Firmino, Kent, Solanke, Origi, Gomez, Klavan, Flanagan, Robertson, Matip, Grujic, Mignolet, Karius, Ward

 

Be careful what you wish for.

[Anny Road]

I can honestly see them putting us out.

[JoeyJones65]

 

Best team in the Bundesliga at set pieces against our defence which shits it's collective pants at set pieces.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

[KevieG]

I suppose if they do put us out the FSG weirdos will be justified in their decision to not spend any money before qualification. Smartest guys in the room them.

[Red House]

Given that we seem to be looking for a replacement for Lallana/Coutinho based on Klopp's comments, we should take this opportunity to do some on-hand scouting on Demirbay. Would definitely fit that particular profile.

[johnsusername]

Fuck knows. Might as well toss a coin for our results.

[Thoth]

Be careful what you wish for.

 

I will be honest... I had wished for at least a DM

[Russ Atmosphere]

Klopp will do his best with that lot, but it is just lacking that wee bit of intelligent players, fit players, experienced players, his best player, and any of his main transfer targets since he arrived.

[El Rojo]

Team picks itself, I would have thought, as Klopp won't want to risk Grujic, Solanke or anybody else who might give us something different.

 

Abysmal last minute concession aside, I thought we were good in the second half on Saturday and Klopp has done well with us against German sides with the old corporate knowledge.

 

Hoffenheim 0 Liverpool 2

 

Wijnaldum, Can and Henderson all seeking to impress with one of them effectively just keeping the bed warm for Seri.

[Herp McDerp]

Whats that you say? Sturridge isn't fit for this one? Damn, didn't see that one coming. Could have sworn Klopp was saying just a week back that he'd definitely be available for this.

[Iceman]

If you still have any time for FSG then take a look at that squad. It's surely obvious to anyone now that we are being taken for a ride by these guys. It's a slow-hand theft of our assets through record profits and chronic lack of investment. 

 

I would absolutely Kevin Keegan love it if not one supporter bought a single ticket for any of our games for the whole season. Empty Anfield and keep it that way until they sell up and get the fuck out. 

 

Hoffenheim will bang it into the box and we'll give it up. 

 

3-1 Fuck off FSG
