Hopefully they don't sack him yet. He's poison.

Unfortunately we tend to play the occasion rather than what’s in front of us in those games.

Hope so too as I want a Klopp Liverpool side to beat a Mourinho United side.

I'd say we will steamroller them tomorrow.

I'm also going to start betting on all of Utds opponents. Odds are always good.

Ah, a rival in crisis, the joy of watching an All Ireland Hurling Final and seeing your local club promoted. All of those things make my usual few Sunday evening pints more enjoyable.

Looking ahead at the fixture list I could see November 11th being the date Mourinho goes following the away game at the Etihad- "The Remembrance Sunday Massacre." It could even be after the Chelsea game on October 20th if results are bad inbetween-there are a definitely few potential banana skins coming up.

Easy tiger. It's only one loss. :pac::pac:

That'd be too soon anyway.

Limerick win and Utd lose. Nice Sunday.
Saw someone comment that Utd's back 4 today cost more than Klopp's entire net spend since he arrived at Anfield. And Jose thinks due to Liverpool's spending that they should win the league. He's a spoofer, but there's enough fools to believe/back him.

There's enough of them to back him alright , laughing at us signing shaqiri while they unload fellani off the bench to save the day against Brighton

That blokes posts are hilarious.

Mourinho's going no where until/unless CL qualification becomes mathematically impossible for Utd.

Not that that's relevant to any discussion on challenging for titles.

Mourinho is toxic, the players he has either don't want to play for him or are afraid to play for him and no attacking talent (other than those looking for a final pay day a la Ibra or Sanchez) want to join now that they see the park the bus football he demands they play. Lukaku would do so much better if he wasn't relying on Valencia and Young for service and Martial has basically downed tools and will wait out his contract if necessary rather then play for Mourinho.

Imagine being able to turn a £50m talent into a disinterested bench warmer in less than two seasons?

I personally hope Utd stick with Mourinho for as long as possible as they are a direct competitor who have somehow managed to find themselves stuck in limbo. They won't back their manager in the transfer market to sign a new CB as the last two he spunked £60m (or whatever) on have turned to sh1t (Baily and Lindolf) and he won't play either the £50m left sided winger/striker Martial or the great English up and coming attacking talent Rashford as he prefers £500,000 a week Sanchez who has done the square root of fcuk all since singing his pension plan in January so they have hamstrung him and given him the perfect excuse to play even more park the bus football for 70 minutes followed by the master stroke of unloading Fellani for the hail mary finish.

How the mighty have fallen.

Long may it continue.

Thread on Klopp interview with Kicker.

Agent Coulson

Karius may be on his way out.

A loan move might be best for him and the club.

Loris Karius' Anfield ordeal may be over. Besiktas in talks to sign him, and Jurgen Klopp ready to let ONE of his keepers go. Loan with view to permanent deal. If it comes off, Mignolet will not be allowed to leave. Plus, Villa want Ojo on loan #LFC

Best thing for him really. Go to Turkey and try make a career for himself over there. Hopefully it happens. The guy seems completely broken.

martyos121

I’d much rather be rid of Mignolet, but I’ll trust Klopp to make the right decision. I just think Karius has more to offer at some point and will bounce back (as unlikely as it seems right now), but Mignolet is never going to get any better and that is obvious to everyone.

I’d get rid of both if we had a PL proven, experienced keeper in reserve though, like Heaton or Fabianski.

Potential Underachiever

Quite apt if he goes to Turkey!:pac:

Wow, when you put it like that...they really are ****ed!

Its an exaggeration but they miss a presence on roght side of attack,neither a full back or winger of quality.
I cansee clearly why he wasnt backed when he was going for cb but there was no mention of anything about signing a full back or winger iirc

But thats enough united talk. Nice to have a match to look forward to tonight. Think will klopp play the same team as last week or will clyne get the nod to not leave the centre backs isolated with zaha and will henderson make a start?

I think you might be spot on ref both Clyne (to marshal Zaha) and Hendo in for Gini.

Great to have such squad depth.

Cavalieri; Kelly, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Agger; Aquilani, Lucas, Spearing; Amoo, N’Gog, Jovanović


Just reading an article about Hodgson (painful stuff) this is the team he sent out in his first European Game. Genuinely can't remember 3 of them and there's a few I'd forgotten about.

I'm assuming 2 of the 3 are Cavilieri and Amoo, but who is the 3rd?

gimli2112

Kyrgiakos. I'm getting him mixed up with another greek defender we nearly bought with a dodgy knee.

How could you mix up that Greek god of defending with someone else!

That was a lineup in pre season in a world cup affected season to offer a little context. Still cat though obviously.

Kyrgiakos' brilliant performances during January 2010 saw him voted as Liverpool's Player of the Month by the club's fans.] Kyrgiakos was sent off for a two-footed dive into Maroune Fellini in the 213th Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton

I remember them all except amoo. Who the **** is he? Genuinely doesn't ring a bell at all.

Surely the most convincing acting ever on a TV soap. He must have never seen him play to be that assured of what he was saying wasn't complete bollocks

David Amoo was a youth player. At one point we had Ngoo and Amoo as well as N’Gog.

I am not buying all this "banana skin" crap tonight.

Four goals at least.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos. He averages about 15 appearances a season due to recurring knee and shoulder injuries.

Ngoo has a good loan spell at Hearts in 2013, and has since scored 1 goal at 5 clubs in 4 years. Although he is playing in Albania now and has 11 in 19 games for Tirana, the champions!

Love a nice comfortable 2 nil win tonight. Zaha will cause us endless problems though and it'll be a tough game the head says.

Hence we need to double up on him. I'd play Wijnaldum and task him with protecting Trent, I wouldn't bring in Clyne and compromise our attack. Also, if Zaha just switches wings, we have Clyne in to do a job that he can't do now.
Fabinho wouldn't be up to speed (literally) to cope with Zaha, Wij is quick and good on man to man. Or Milner could probably do it...

I remember the tackle. Fellaini actually went in higher, only received a yellow but wrecked his ankle ligaments and was out for months,

We should have too much for Palace tonight. As for people suggesting caution and removing one of our attacking weapons by replacing TAA with Clyne, I refer them to the CL Semi final away to City when Sane was handled by a professional Trent with support from midfield.

This will be a litmus test for Alisson and our team's "bottle" away from home to PL battlers this season. I expect us to pass the test by a couple of goals - we cannot be drawing these types of fixtures and hope to challenge City.

LuckyLloyd

You are all extremely bullish. We know little or nothing about this latest mix and the options on the bench. I wouldn't be making any strong statements before they have been tested personally.

Agree with this.

Tonight's game is the type of game in recent seasons that we'd struggle and fail to pick up three points.

So I'd take any win tonight as this new team is still gelling.

3 points is all that matters.

Anytime I see Zaha (which is mostly only when playing Liverpool tbh) he is unreal. Klopp also commented on how good he was in the last few days and how he would never leave a full back alone against him.

Im surprised that we, or other big teams werent in for him. He is still only 25 and has around 250 top level appearances. He signed a new deal too so wonder is there something else with him that makes the top teams wary?

We struggled against them away last year big time and only won it with a scrappy late goal from Mo. Would take that any day of the week.

He had half a season at United when he was younger & didn't show much
I think he was only 19 or 20 so not fair to judge him on it (plus it was playing for David Moyes, Football Genius !!) but might be putting some scouts off

36 goals in over 250 appearances isn't a great return. He had a couple of years at Utd and only played twice. To be fair to him he seems to have improved the last couple of years.

Agent Coulson

Alisson to let in a couple of howlers and Keita to do a Cantona and kung fu kick some fans and Liverpool to lose 9 - 0.


Season over by 10pm tonight.


or


We muller them 5/6 nothing.

Fitz*

Last season we played poorly away to Palace alright. If I remember correctly, it was after the international break too. Mane had a shocker, should have been sent off but scored too.

Tongiht - maybe an eeky 2-1 win.
we might even be treated to a 1-0 away win!!

The Mig

Handy 4-1 win

Nothing extreme about my outlook, we will have 2 new players on the pitch and klopp has had plenty of time to analyse them individually.

In terms of game analysis and team setup they have had over a week to prep for this one game.

It's time to start winning away against battling sides of lesser quality. I expect us to do so tonight, i won't be devastated if we drop points but for me it's a proper test and one I see us passing.

DrumSteve

Gonna go 2 nil to us.

They are a fairly pragmatic side; good up front but I reckon we will pump them.
