Last time we were in the Champions League our attack was Fabio Borini, Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert :eek::eek:

Love a bit of faux moralising and outrage.

Man's game. Should only be straight red cards for decapitation. That about right Lloyd?

The last time we were in the group stages of the CL we were an embarrassment and 3 of our back 5 were Mignolet, Lovren & Moreno.


Not much has changed.

Salah cleared to play apparently, only a sore throat.

Klopp was hopeful that Salah will be okay to play tomorrow night. Only a sore throat. Also confirmed Coutinho definitely in #LFC squad

TBF even by your maths, that's 40% of our defence that's changed. 50% excluding Mig.

That's more than not much.

If I had my way Dom!!

In other news, I notice Celtic were decapitated 5 - 0 at home to Paris last night.

Dom & Lloyd

I'm picturing a neo noir detective movie.

Prime opportunity to pun it up with Dom and Dumber.

One of the characters was called Lloyd too.

I know. Very unfortunate timing for the release of that movie to coincide with me being in primary school.

Good lunchtime watch for the day that's in it.

Mad to see some of the players we had there in the Istanbul run again - Nunez (maybe the worst player I've ever seen in a Liverpool shirt), Sinama-Pongolle, Neil Mellor.

Mellor had such a vital role in that Olympiakos match to be fair to him.

Champions League Day baby!!!!

I'm unreasonably excited to see us back at the top table.

Bring. It. On.

Rafa still gets some stick from supporters but gave us some phenomenal results....

Doing a great job at Newcastle too under poor resources.

As the years have passed the more I realised what a great job he done.

Seeing how good Newcastle are set up & the poor defences in the PL now makes you appreciate even more what a great tactical coach/manager he is.

I loved him as our manager. Was devastated when he left. I'd happily have him back as well if we ever move on from Klopp.

You'd have to wonder what he'd be like with money and proper backing from a board. Like if he was in Klopp's position now, what way our team would be. I don't care what people say about his transfer record, the man is well able to build a team.

Just watched the video.

All I have to say is I miss Sami.

Even with if our defence stays sh I hope one of our CBs starts banging in goals. I miss the likes of Sami, and even Skrtel and Agger being threats from every cross. Sure Skrtel had 8 league goals including a brace against Arsenal in 13/14.

And that was just in our own penalty area.

Don't be given Lovern any ideas!

Hope Coutinho gets a massive roar from the crowd when he comes on tonight. Suarez was welcomed back with open arms after his failed transfer saga, and if we want to get the best Phil Coutinho for the next 9 months, it's vital that he's shown the same level of appreciation from the fans for the sake of his motivation and confidence.

Oh by the way what station is this on tonight ?

I don't think Phil has ever evoked the same reaction from the crowd that Luis did.

I'd wager it'd be fairly muted if he comes on.

Muted would be the best reaction, the equivalent of Harry sitting on hi hands when Suarez scored, if you will. I expect his name announcement will get a mixed reaction though with lots of audible booing.

Moreno most certainly has "No Matter What" by Boyzone on repeat in his head.

Curtis Jones opens the scoring for Liverpool U19s in mini CL, Ben Woodburn cross parried to Jones. Couldn't miss really.

2-0 now. H. Kane scores for Liverpool.

I think it'll be Adagio for Strings for Moreno

Or maybe Chumbawamba

Sensational run by Liam Miller from his own defensive third into the peno area - Herbie Cane with a tap in.
