Yeah, the difficult first games could actually really be a positive. Do well there and you're off to a flying start... before opening the new Anfield.

Don't be sad, decent attacking players are utterly wasted with a manager like Conte.

If Mane's pre-season form is an indication of what he'll be like in the PL for us, he's better than or at least as good as the Joao Mario I've seen at the Euros, and that's saying a lot.

Would love is to be looking for Berahino if they are interested in Benteke.

Pretty sure when we look back at some highlights shows of the last few years Berahino will be one of them lads that people will say "bloody hell I forgot about him!" (not that he even has alot to make a highlights reel)

Fair play to Howard Gayle. He turned down an MBE

Which unfortunately I had to decline the nomination for the reason that my ancestors would be turning in their graves after how Empire and Colonialism had enslaved them.

This is how I would line up for Arsenal

---

Mignolet
Clyne---Lovren---Klavan---Moreno

---

Can

---

Henderson
Mane

---

Firmino

---

Coutinho

---

Origi

I think Lallana will probably start & Firmino moved up front.

I hope that's some weird filter that Firmino has on. Looks ridiculous, although I won't care if he does the business.

Fimino has a peace sign tattoo on his arm and a rose tattoo on his hand as well as a crown tattoo on his neck......and he wears diamond earrings.....what I'm basically trying to say is thankfully the top knot is gone....

Can't wait to see the Dr Phillipe and Ellen DeBrazilian partnership cause some damage this season now.

Seriously though the fcuking state of him. Must be a worst haircut contest at the club and he's still losing to Moreno.

Personally, I think Lallana deserves the start. He was outstanding against Barcelona.

Push Firmino up top and bring Lallana in to that central role. He provides a deeper support to Can and Henderson than Firmino would from that position as well, so in theory it would leave the midfield a little more solid from the start.

Anyone know what Milner's story is with regards to his injury?

Agent Coulson

He couldn't handle Suarez taking p1ss out of the top knot before the Barca game so he went for a better bleach job than Messi to impress Suarez.

Lallana has been excellent since Klopp came in. Firmino has to start though. Origi should start because his pace & strength should badly expose Chambers & whoever is the other CB possibly Holden.

Messi inspired?

I reckon we could get some joy with a pacy, direct attack against Arsenal - Mané, Firmino, Origi and a fit Sturridge would all do well i'd say.

Presuming Sturridge isn't involved, I'd be happy to see Mané, Firmino and Lallana (pressing is crucial) behind Origi.

I think between fitness and availability, the rest of the side effectively picks itself this week but I'm looking forward to seeing them in action.

My starting XI: Mignolet / Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Moreno / Henderson, Can / Lallana, Firmino, Mané / Origi

But I expect Coutinho to start ahead of Lallana tbh.

We don't have a great record away to Arsenal, or on the opening day, so a win would be a very nice change of pace on several fronts. Arsenal are also slow starters and have a heap of injuries and that, but any side with Sanchez in it is dangerous, especially as we may have an unsettled/second string defence.

I reckon, regardless of who plays where, this game will have goals in it.

Is Sturridge expected to be back for the Burnley game?

I can't see her allowing him to do the business much with that barnet!

Like everyone else I'm looking forward to the big kick-off. Just a bit fearful of how we do defensively against them but no doubt we can certainly create chances and score goals there, with or without Sturridge.

For this particular game Milner would be a bigger loss than Sturridge imo.
But hopefully both are fit and available on the day.

I like what Klopp says in regard to this, every player has to prove their match ready for the next game.

If you're not match ready there are others waiting to take that place.

Mr.H

I know they will most likely be gone

BUT

If Balo, Benteke, Lazar and anyone else deemed surplus, I hope we give them at least bench time or game time in the cups to allow them to force their way back into the squad.

Obviously if we can get rid of that is better but I hope we dont keep them away from the squad just because we couldnt sell them. Use them to put pressure on the rest of the team to perform. As long as they are not disruptive of course. If they are then they can stay away from the U23's while they are at it.

But whoever is at the club after deadline day I hope they are not ignored. Sure make them work harder to get into the team but if they have a chance we may end up with a Lucas/Allen situation where someone who was ****e ends up being a fan fav

Mario and Cisse were born on the same day? ****ing hell, hopefully any future progeny avoid that day.

5starpool

Can't imagine there will be as many clear cut chances in the game on Sunday as there was in the same fixture last year. Should have been about 4-0 up at half time, and 4-4 at full time. No idea how it ended 0-0.

The code quoted for the LFC superthread boards league was not valid. Cannot seem to find another.

A fair few "stars" tipped us for top 4 in that BBC predictor thing, but 6th overall. More a reflect than nobody genuinely hasn't a clue of what is going to happen.

Last one I remember was away to Utd & for some reason Steve Finnan sticks in my mind for either scoring or scoring OG. We were in yellow jerseys for what its worth.

I thought that was really strange. Bet Meh didn't like that. Bit of sly, motivational "mind games" (spit, ugh) out of Klopp?
