Hope we get beat

Some on here do to. Something to whinge about.

[Thoth]

They have arrived .. 

[Strontium]

I have a bad feeling about this one, City are well overdue a win against us.

[Captain Howdy]

Massively important game psychologically this one, if we lose it we conclude a hideously difficult run of games since the last break having been somewhat derailed, win and we will be seen to have navigated the run quite well.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Nasty rumour that Lovren in for TAA. 

[Colt Seavers]

Lovren in, Gomez to RB apparently, or 3 at back?

[Oh Buoy]

Confirmed. 

 

Gomez, Lov, VVD, Robbo. 

[chrisbonnie]

James Pearce has the team sheet on twitter. 

 

Why has Klopp dropped TAA? 

[an tha]

Gomez at RB.

 

Fucking hell

 

Liverpool: Alisson, Gomez, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Mignolet, Fabinho, Keita, Sturridge, Shaqiri, Matip, Alexander-Arnold.

You really have to ask that? He’s been quite poor of late. 

[Elite]

Why break up the best CB pairing in the league for fucking Lovren. Would have preferred Clyne at RB.

[El Rojo]

A rusty Lovren against that City attack. Hmmm.

 

Limited as he is, would rather have seen Clyne in as a direct replacement.

Yep. It’s almost inconceivable that a team of their quality could lose four in a row to any opponent, let alone one that looked as clapped out as we did in midweek. A draw would be an incredible result for us today.

Yeah, very silly move that imo, maybe he wants to use Gomez pace, he’s just not a full back though.

[Jairzinho]

Fuck sake.

[Funkasy]

Klopp brakes up the only thing that has been rock solid for us all season. Strange.

[moof]

Probably the right move, imo. Trent has been really quite poor for most of the season, and Clyne doesn’t offer enough going forward 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Splitting up the Gomez/VVD partnership is fucking infuriating. 

[Captain]

WTF, herr Klopp?

I don't get it either. It's a baffling decision if that's what it comes to. Because surely we're not playing three at the back?

 

 

[El Rojo]

The footballing atrocity that is Otamendi is on the bench for them.

Staggering that a lad like that can figure in elite sport, especially when money is no object for his club. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Gomez and VVD pairing has been the highlight of the season so far. Risky but then City are capable of beating any side really.

You really think breaking up the best thing we’ve had going for us all season against the best side in the league is the right move?  Hope you’re right mate

[moof]

Lovren’s a good player. Gomez can play right back. Trent needs a rest. 

 

No issues here

Neither does Gomez.

[Elite]

No matter the result, we've made a great start and got 3 very difficult games out of the way, whilst our rivals have had easier starts. So either way, fuck it.
