Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 15/16

Herrera says The second leg will be totally different. The pitch is bigger here, the grass is better

citytillidie

Old Trafford pitch is a whole 4 meters longer than Anfield pitch that is all

rob316

Van Gaal: "We don't want to concede a goal but if we do we can score four. We showed that before against Midtjylland in the last round."

This guy really is funny.

Clasping at straws

Beyond the pail, frankly.

Have they scored more than 3 any other time this year?

Theyve been struggling to get more than 1/2 shots on target per game in the last while.

Brugge away in the CL is the only other time (4)

Although they put in a really strong performance at Old Trafford against Arsenal recently and scored 3 which is all they need to do tomorrow if they don't concede. If they score early we could be in for a long night, but if that's our worry and we are defensive from the start then I'm still not overly confident.

Will see how Klopp plays it but in a one-off game at OT anything can happen so I'm not celebrating yet.

In fairness they have plenty of goals in that team. Just a dinosaur of a manager who is unwilling to adapt his style of play and allow the players to express themselves.

Should be a good game tomorrow but like a few posters have mentioned if we concede early all the pressure is on us.

Liam McPoyle

We can score two and beat ye on penalties.

:cool:

Can't see us not conceding at least one tbh so barring us playing better than we have all season or a complete capitulation from yourselves the tie is over.

United talking the talk anyway.........They had 7 shots on target in their last 4 games, not that it matters for this tie but its funny that Van Gaal is coming out like Billy big balls saying they can score 4 because they scored 5 against Midtjylland.......I suppose you want to hear your manager say things like this but it comes across as nonsense to me.......

Personally I dont see United winning this in normal time anyway. I think we'll score one at OT, if United can get 4 then fair play to them......

Saw that, think he smoked some of the grass.

Magico Gonzalez

we've got to go at them like men possessed early doors tomorrow, early goal and it's good night Amshterdam. If they score first the whole thing takes on a different complexion.

citytillidie

I would not be counting any chickens until at least 10pm tomorrow night

rob316

LVG blames everyone else for his teams performances, instead of wondering why they were comprehensively outplayed last week he pointed to a soft penalty and an offside goal. Without Super Dave between the sticks mate you would have been battered in the last leg.

He is under savage pressure this week, probably facing the sack Monday morning if they fail to beat us or City as that will be any chance of CL football gone.

I agree, it'll be a tough game don't get me wrong but if we get knocked out travelling to OT with a 2 goal lead I'll be raging personally.....

If they score in first half it will be fairly fckin hairy,tie is far from over

Put Joe Allen on from the start and doesn't matter what they say or do.
He loves bigger pitches to swing his balls and better grass to massage them.

He'll be looking for revenge for this...

It's mind-boggling how he gets away with doing that every game he plays. Being shit, that is.

Brad Smith might be playing tomorrow night, Moreno seems to have injured himself in training this evening, though it isn't clear how serious it is yet

Surely Flannagan would start ahead of Smith?

Wonder what they're smoking at the Emirates now.

He's not registered for Europe.

Flanno is not in the Europa squad and cannot be picked. Personally think klopp messed up with that one

Really? He was on the comeback from a long term injury. Bit of a risk

When Suarez left I was one of the ones thinking Sanchez would be a good replacement. Reality is he's not fit to lace his boots. Closest he gets to the same level is when George Hamilton confuses the two.

I think there is a fair old chance no utd fan will be as eager to star the match thread this week. It was going around 24 hours this time last week.

Yeah true but after he started his first league game can't remember who against, klopp admitted he made a mistake

It'll be deleted if one of them takes offence to it.

I think most of us felt that, no one could replace him but, given the available options, Sanchez was the best. Still think he's quality but a level below Luis.

Agent Coulson

I'd take Sanchez next season for £40m &£1.

I think he just had a good year. Never impressed me at Barca, had a good World Cup and good last season. Seems to have reverted back to type now.

U21s lost 3-2 to West Ham. Skrtel red carded. Seriously just feck off Marty.

Zerks normally does them but I think he got detention or something.

That was my first thoughts too but then remembered Flanno was not registered

Be interesting to see how Smith gets on, he has impressed any chance he has gotten so far and it would be nice to see him push on next season

James Milner could start at right or left back and Clyne swap if needed

Agent Coulson

I'm wondering is there is any chance Zorc could replace Ayre on the football side of things now that Klopp is here and FGS could hire someone else for the commercial side of things

Ah, I didn't know he was 'indisposed' and on the boards naughty step.

I thought Billy Hogan was looking after the commercial deals for the club.
