Can you at least leave the crap in the match threads as it gets really annoying with each main thread trying to ruin the others main thread. Both the UTD one and the LFC one go off tangent for about 3 days when the sniping starts. Makes reading the main thread a pain in the arse.

Most people's idea of fun on a saturday night is not looking for another poster to argue with.

Its no fun without name bets.

If Origi scores 15 goals this year, I'll change my name to Divock K'Origi.

If Pogba scores 15 goals this year, I'll change my name to Louis Van Gaal's Pogballs.

If both of them score 15 goals or more, I'll change my name to the name of choice of the Boards Soccer forum.

And if Liverpool finish inside the top four, I'll stand outside the gpo naked.


Also, were you not to change your name?

If its league goals, I'd say you're sticking with Knex.

Divock might come close to 15 in all competitions but the other lad be lucky to reach 7.

In fairness.. Niallo27 loves the match threads for the odd row.

Saying that he'd probably argue that he isn't.

If Sturridge stays injury free this season, I'll break both my legs with a hammer.

Now that's a fitting bet, (K)nex.

I am back, only really like chatting in the match threads. Hard to get into a argument when nothing is happening.

If they both score more than 15 why don't you change your name to Knex (drop the silent K)

Nothing to frighten us yesterday, a draw for everton/spurs was a good result. City won unconvincingly ,Chelsea,united and especially arsenal to go today/monday.At least one will look like they will be pl champion but alot of twists along the road.Hopefully win by at least two and we could be top of the table for a week anyway.

martyos121

Well if we are going to beat Arsenal tomorrow, it should be by at least two with the makeshift defence they'll start with. So, if our attacking players are sharp, I don't see any other outcome than winning by at least two goals. If they aren't sharp, we mightn't score at all. We're just that sort of team.

If we lose to that Arsenal side though, I'll be bitterly dissapointed. It's set up really well for us.

J Mysterio

4-1 Liverpool!

Our year!

Thta makeshift defense will probably go all out and have the gme of their lives.

Points dropped all over the place yesterday but we haven't dropped one yet.

Imo I prefer "they". After all it's the players who go out and win....

With the complete support of the training staff and manager.......I personally dont mind the we/they but it feels a bit distancing if a manager says "they". You win as a group and lose as a group top down.

Seems Ings is starting for the under 23's today. Thought he'd be in the squad for the Arsenal game. Bit strange.

Hopefully it is just to build fitness. But to be fair if he wasn't looking at getting playing time, it's better that he plays for the resies

Mr.H

Is Lucas fit for today? I know his transfer was pulled but no idea on his fitness?

Klopp seems a stickler for full match fitness if you are going to be involved. Must feel Ings isn't quite there yet.

Harry Palmr

Liverpool u23s Starting XI vs Southampton: Grabara; Randall, Brewitt, Maguire, Hart; Williams, Virtue; Wilson, A Phillips, Woodburn; Ings

Soton leading 0-2 after 21 mins.

Just seen that Bolasie is having his medical at Everton so hopefully all systems go for Benteke this week.

J Mysterio

Liverpool Virtue signalling?

J Mysterio

Ibey starting for Bournemouth! Go on my son!

Brad Smith on the bench.

Have 2 memberships in the house that have had little use the last few years, was intending to start looking for tickets on additional members/ late returns sales this year but seems now you have to have a liverpool address for this. am i missing something or whats the point paying for the membership.

J Mysterio

Apparently Ibe is Bournemouths record signing at £15M!

Does that mean sturridge is in the squad or is benteke there also

No it means Firmino will start and Origi will be the striker sub.

Probably means when klopp mentioned balotelli, benteke and ings he meant that ings is for sale also, looked so good pre injury he must not have fully recovered

Harry Palmr

He clarified that remark, Ings is not being sold, just isn't fully up to Klopp-spec yet.

OK thanks, always thought a fit pre injury ings would suit klopp style, hopefully he can get back but it seems an awfully long time

Gbear

Interesting that there's no Can in the starting lineup.

Obviously he's played a lot, went to the Euros so for this kind of game maybe Klopp doesn't think he's quite ready.

Edit: The full lineup

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Moreno, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Coutinho, Mane, Firmino. Subs: Manninger, Can, Origi, Matip, Stewart, Grujic, Alexander-Arnold.

No striker either team,not too often you see that

NukaCola

I think we can consider Firmino a striker, not natural but well capable.

Super attacking team, I worry a bit at how open our defence looks, well on paper at least......
