Maribor(a)- 17/10/17 Champions League Match Thread

[Grinch]

For fuck sake just give Chamberlain a fucking go.

No ta, he's nowhere near the quality of our front three.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

At least Chamberlain gets on the bench, what has happened to Robertson? I’d have started Oxlade-Chamberlain today, we should we win comfortably so give him a chance to gain so rhythm and confidence

 

Could be an attitude thing, didn't he upset Klopp when he slammed the whole squad to take the heat off the defence? Mayb's he has said something else out of place. He's not injured and he hasn't been in the U23 squad, seems a strange move that he isn't even making the bench of late. Could easily be personal problems as well. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I'd sooner loan Mignolet out.

Ward first choice then ?

He explained why at the weekend.if Moreno starts - he won't have a specialist as a sub when Milner and Gomez can fill in. Robertson is fine with it. He spoke inthe echo at the weekend.

Does he not see himself as a central midfielder anyway? Obviously Klopp does not though and as you say he is miles behind our front 3. He'll be behind Lallana as well when he comes back so the question is why have we done 40m for him?

Any player who is fine with not playing does not have the attitude needed to be a proper top player.

[Jockey]

Haha can't understand why we bought Chamberlain he is a pile of shite but he has to play ahead of Salah and Coutinho in a must win game.

 

Only our fans can complain over Chamberlain on the bench tonight.

He might see himself as a cm but he's never played well there for Arsenal so it would be almost as bizarre as his transfer here.

Cheers, I'd rather have Robertson as a starter than brain dead. I know Alberto has been playing better of late but he is still a liability. Against the Mancs he made the same mistake twice but luckily when the Manc player got in behind him nothing came of it. he ran to head a ball and misjudged it, jumping up to head it whilst it sailed over his head, does it way too often, fucking basics n all.

Read the article first. Actually don't bother. You've made your mind up - don't waste time reading what he actually said.

Exactly - the whole thing is bizarre. Smacks of a panic buy to placate the noise around them spending no money.

Same here! Every time Moreno plays i'd love it to be his last! He's a fucking idiot and will cost us.

You said Robertson was fine with it....if you wanna provide the context/article that would be great.

[LFC 6 Times]

He's been largely unimpressive Chamberlain, particularly in his only start in the LC. But the fact Arsenal did their utmost to keep him, Chelsea tried to sign him and the fact we've signed him says the me the lad has something. I think he could be really good as one of the advanced CMs, he's quick, strong and carries the ball very well.

He is fine with it. Doesn't mean he is happy!

 

If you didn't read it. Don't comment!

 

I realise you just want to bitch and bitch and bitch, but if you insist on inferring your own negativity into everything. You'll get pulled.

 

Unless you want one of our 6 available subs to be a specialist left back?

 

No. Of course you don't. Because that would be fucking stupid.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Ward first choice then ?

Karius until the Winter window.

[Pureblood]

I think in better circumstances Klopp may well have gone with the Ox and Robertson.

 

Due to our bad results this has become a must win game and it has forced his hand a bit.

Arsenal didn't want to lose him on a free but bit our hands off at 35m.   Chelsea were desperate for English players and bid for anyone remotely decent.  At least they planned to play him at rwb, where he's looked good before.

 

As for Liverpool.  I've no idea why we went for and mid October, I'm only more unsure.

I asked for the article not to be patronised - but whatever makes you happy.

When I see the team and it starts with Karius my heart sinks, 

Hopefully we will carry the extra weight and get across the line.

Common opinion and It''s strange cause at no point has he ever looked worse than Mignolet and brings many things to the table that the Belgian sack of spuds doesn't.  We can push up knowing Karius isn't rooted to his line like the cowardly Belgian.

[Captain Turdseye]

Nice to see the bickering has started before the game has even kicked off. With any luck we'll start slowly and reach full blown hysterics before 8 o'clock.

Yeah but with Mig in goal we can occasionally allow the opposition to shoot from 25 yards knowing he can actually stop the odd shot, unlike the useless German.

Karius has also shown better shot stopping ability.   Mignolet keeps fuck all out unless it's right at him.

My eyes.... Jesus that kit is shocking
