Imagine if we actually beat them

one o my best workmates back in Buffalo, NY used to just say " VARNISH!"

[Losmeister]

the mfing scousers ASSUME they will win... ( no offense to liverpudlian nuclear families)

we opened the scoring there last year then they had a jammy ass pinball game in our box and equlaised before firmino went righ through our Cbs ( mustafi/sok)

no mustaki (sic) at any costs, please

[jayramfootball]

I'd be happy with a good performance and not getting thrashed.

Oh really?

Sure, yes.
Our last 2 results in the league at Anfield have been a 4-0 loss and a 5-1 loss, right?
Don't want to see that happen again.
A competitive game is good enough for me right now at this stage of our rebuild. We're playing away to a much much better team.
Not saying we can't win. Upsets can happen.

[UFGN]

We'll win this. It'll be tight and ugly and we'll win it by the odd goal

[Fenice]

We play 4 at the back we have a good shot at taking this. Have at em!

Last time I was at Anfield in 2012 we won 2-0 Pod and santi I think with the goals. Seems like a lifetime ago. Diaby masterclass as well.

I hope Emery does not pick mikitarian for this game I have a feeling that could happen though

mkhi, ha....i'm worried xhaka will be picked.

oh how I miss santi. can Ceballos be our new santi? willock our diaby/Vieira type player? one can only hope

[Ach]

I really hope Willock is nothing like diaby who in turn was nothing like vieira.

[themessiah]

I liked Diaby and I watched him plenty of times but I never once thought he would ever be as good as Vieira

Btw don't think willock will start.

Think Emery will start Xhaka Guendouzi and Ceballos behind Laca, Auba and Pepe.

Also Am I right in thinking Lacazette has never started at a game at Anfield? Shunned for Welbeck in his first season and then benched for Aubameyang last season.

Ok geniuses. How do we stop Liverpool’s front three from getting the ball? What ideas you’ll got?

[coach8smallball]

sit and counter? not a fan of that style, but if we go toe to toe with them it's rather risky.

Not possible. Their front 3 will have a lot of the ball.
What we need to do is stop them getting in behind us and that means the midfield has to protect the back 4 well - to avoid them being drawn out.
The space between the CB's and midfielders has to be as tight as a ducks arse.

Opponents easily get behind our back line. This will be disastrous against Pool. I would play a back three and flood the midfield with three terriers and two wing backs. Auba and Pepe on top to hit on the counter.
