Must have been the disappointment of the lads bottling the league...

I agree but there's been loads of absolute misery's here and on social media near enough to tipping themselves off a cliff cos we didn't sign anyone. Some lads just can't enjoy anything.

Well it’s a ridiculous attitude as far as I’m concerned. We scaled the mountaintop, enjoy the bloody view for a couple of months at least.

I hope we win tonight like but I won’t be majorly fussed if we don’t.

Yeah didn't hear any doom and gloom from fellow Liverpool fans. Quote the opposite. Utd supporting mates on the other hand!

Can't remember a summer ever where I've been as relaxed regarding the club.

Amen brother!

Was trying to see if there were any pics online of the new Irish Kop banner and I came across this - made me smile

My team would be
Alisson
Trent - Matip - VVD - Robertson
Henderson - Fabinho
Salah - Shaq - Mane
Firmino

Lets not forget, this is Norwich, they will defend defend defend.

Its the first game of the season, they are newly promoted and they aren't expected to do well.

Don't be surprised to see them give it a go.

They conceded 57 goals last year. Defense isn't their main focus.

Boom_Bap

I think they have a number of key injuries in defense as well.

Fromvert

Norwich like to play ball, keep possession etc and even though they won the Championship they had the 8th best defence so they're not going to be able to dog it out. First game of the season, confidence still high from last season, I think they'll give a go and be quickly punished for it.

Alisson

TAA - Gomez - VVD - Robertson

Gini - Fabinho - Keita

Salah - Firmino - Mane

I think Mane will go straight back in tonight for two reasons, he likely has no fitness worries after playing most of the summer and he'll want to be playing. Norwich at home and he'll have his eyes on getting a few goals and winning the top scorer award outright this year.

Salah is going to score four.

Well, maybe not. But I do think he'll cause havoc.

I don't think Keita will feature in the starting 11, he has barely played in Pre season unlike most. Henderson Gini and Fab with Milner a possibility will more than likely be the midfield.

Id say apart from that your bang on, would still much prefer Matip start than Gomez myself

Yeah Keita is more of what I'd prefer, thought he looked really sharp when he came on in Community shield. But as you say, three from the four of Henderson, Fabinho, Gini, Milner will probably be playing.

Agree with you, Naby looked great, sad Ox didn't have a good pre season, would have loved to see him back, honestly think if he doesn't play much by Jan he should go for a 6 month loan to get his fitness back. He deserves game time.

Osmosis Jones

Wouldn't be shocked to see Keita in the front 3 if Mane isn't match fit.

Sane out for 6-7 months.
Don't wish it on anyone but he's a top player to lose.

Seems Mane is fitter than most, he never had a break.

If you believe the rumours they were already planning without him anyway, his move to Bayern was a real possibility before the injury apparently.

Great player, but I think they will be fine, their depth is scary. Remember they played nearly the entire season with out KDB... 98 points....

rob316

Its seriously harsh Matip getting dumped out of the starting XI now gomez is fit again. He was outstanding last season, better than Virg at times but I suppose Gomez for his development has to play.

Not our best side, but good enough to win this. With a big game Wednesday we could already protect people.

Boom_Bap

That's unfortunate for City. Sane was a game changer for them last season, I wonder if there are any stats for winning from the bench with him.

Yeah, think the last part of your sentence there is nail on head. He's the future, and I imagine that is exactly why Klopp will opt for him more often than not.

One thing, however, is I think Gomez will still play a fair bit at RB this year.

Just touched down in Liverpool. Giddy with excitement!

You'll be odds on fav if Hendo starts.

Lovren for sure!

I wonder if there'll be any issues with streaming tonight? I'm not with any of the really big providors so I should be ok. Hopefully.

Sofa Spud

Sadio on the bench

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Origi, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Matip.

Owl.

Why isn't Coutinho playing?

madalig12

No surprises

Harry Palmr

Great bench, Matip should be playing on merit though.

Sore back.

We had Lovren and Matip on the bench last week. I didn't think we'd do that going forward. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lovren leave, he won't want to be missing match day squads let alone not playing.

Knex*

I've certainly been someone who has been banging the drum for a new signing, but that is some strong bench we have.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Matip

****in hell Klopp is after a rake of amphetamines.
