Norwich City v Liverpool - BT Sports 1 - 12:45

5starpool

Norwich have lost the last 4 games, but recently Liverpool are the team you want to play when you are in a slump, so they won't be terrified of the prospect by any means. The last time Liverpool lost to Norwich was the last game in front of the standing Kop in 1994, so it has been a while.

Lallana is a slight doubt for Liverpool but no other new injuries or players returning from injury means that it will likely be a very similar lineup to the last couple of league games, unless Klopp decides to start Benteke.

I'm pessimistic about Liverpool's chances of a win, but I'll go for 1-1 tomorrow.

ShamoBuc

A very tentative 2-1 away win. Not going to be an enjoyable watch!

Turtyturd

Tldr.

8-10

5-0 Liverpool

Well we might as well not bother turning up then.

Liverpool always win against Norwich. Away win, 1-3.

Well Lallana isn't a slight doubt for Liverpool, loads of people have fecking huge doubts about him.

eagle eye

Norwich have three wins and two draws from five matches at home since the start of November in the Premier league.

Liverpool have one win and four losses on the road over the same period.


Why do people think Liverpool are going to win this game? Why do I think Liverpool are going to win this game?

Maybe it's just that it's traditional to expect that or something because home and away form certainly tell you something completely different.

8-10

I'm worried about Naismith. He's the type of player to score in a game like this. But still think we'll win

Toobz

Klopp to celebrate a 1-1 draw with the away fans

The Sap phone is ringing.
Can the saps answer the call of help from Liverpool and help them turn around their form?
Can 5starpool be more optimistic?
Can Agent Coulson and Underachiever get along?
Can Turtyturd curb his obsession with Sturridge?
Tune in at 12.45 (or later if you can't watch then) to find out.

Harry Palmr

Liverpool team to play Norwich: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Emre Can, Henderson, Milner, Ibe, Firmino.

Ward, Caulker, Flanagan, Allen, Teixeira, Lallana, Benteke. :eek: :pac:

Osmosis Jones

Thought Allen would get the nod ahead of Lucas.

Turtyturd

Lucas thrown in because Klopp doesn't rate Lucas?

No it's because he's BOSS

Kerrigooney

What does Allen have to do to get a start? The man is a goal machine.

TrueIt

Nice, no Allen or Lallana, I'm starting to think positive for this one

OwaynOTT

Don't think Klopp rates any of them, that's the problem but he less less rates Lucas and more less rates Allen.


I'd have Allen on today though.

You've watched him lately,yeah?

Agent Coulson

The postmaster general won't be happy with OTT and all his double posts he is keeping count of them and OTT's daily allowance of posts will be commented on.

Anyway Sturridge to come back in soon and win us the league and score a sh1t lot of goals.

Lucas in the team when Klopp doesn't rate him and Sakho to look awkward in other words he is sh1t.

Liverpool to score 6 own goals as a thank you to Norwich for letting Luis score all those goals against them.

Well deserved, easily the stand out player in both legs v Exeter.

Agent Coulson

Michael Owen really doesn't like Benteke.

hadepsx

Owen doesn't like anybody. Small man complex

Bret Hart

1-1. Brady too put Norwich 1 up and Benteke to come on and rescue a point.

Francie Barrett

Hard to see where the goals will come from.

Firmino, have a feeling he'll have a good day. His best position seems to be up top.

Saving them for Tuesday

I'm backing Norwich to win by more than one goal. The form is just so much in favour of a big home win that I cannot resist the 7/1 on that. The Liverpool lineup certainly doesn't put me off it.

Norwich will score from a corner anyhow.

Haven't been on here in nearly a week, so I should be okay.

I dunno about these double posts. On one hand they're getting me more thanks, which is great.
On the other hand, the second post of the double post combo is getting less thanks and thus making my thanks per post ratio lower.
It's a real conundrum.


Anyway, I'm bowing out because I'm in work and recorded the match and will watch when I get home.
Closing my eyes, ears and browser window. It's going to make the drive home interesting.



Can only see a victory here for Liverpool and a comfortable one at that. norwich are much and I don't care what recent form shows.
Hopefully we're on first on MOTD tonight.

5starpool

Should have been at least yellow for Naismith there.

Techniques07

How is that not a yellow at least? Dirt

citytillidie

Dirty from him as usual

bur

A good captain would have made sure Naismith got a yellow there.

hadepsx

Fcuk. Could have broke his ankle

Mr.Crinklewood

Nasty challenge.

Osmosis Jones

Moreno is all over the place here, no idea where he should be

5starpool

Normally when we start poorly we don't tend to improve. Very broad strokes assessment, but the first 11 mins haven't improved my optimism meter.

murpho999

Always think of Suarez running riot when we play Norwich. Very different team on display now compared to when we last played Norwich away.

Turtyturd

Ref letting a lot go for Norwich.
