Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2019/2020

I thought a couple of weeks ago that Alisson would probably get the Utd game, Adrian will play against Genk, Alisson will return against Spurs, then Adrian back in for the LC tie with Arsenal.

Not that it matters who plays against Utd - unlikely to be any shots on target.

I know it's Danny Mills an all but still funny

Muahahaha

I hate combined XIs but that is pretty funny.

rob316

You can't really argue with any of that selection.

Harry Palmr

I hate Danny Mills but I love him as well.

So much pre-match hubris! There's been a few times we've went to Old Trafford over the last couple of years and not put in the performance that we're capable of. The nil-all draw last season, Rashford's brace the season before that, the "Red Monday" 1-1 before that.. Poor games where we didn't play to our best at all.

It'd be hard for anyone to disagree with the combined XI thing, we're the European champions - theres only 1 other team in the PL where their players would get in our XI and even then it'd be up for debate (de Bruyne, Laporte?). Anyways, I'll take any win we can get. If its an OG from a ball going in off Harry Maguire's arse then I'll be happy enough.

If I could chose an ideal scenario, I think I would prefer this sort of win over any 4-0 hammering. Just for the craic out of it! :pac:

Did any of ye get tickets for this.

Great lineup and good cause but feck I wasn't expecting it to sell out so quickly.

If it's craic you're after, what we need is Salah to dive on the edge of the box to get a free kick. Ball floated in to Van Dijk, who should have been sent off early in the game for a blatant handball that was missed by the ref and the VAR. He heads it towards the goal. Ball is sailing over but - wait! - David de Gea pulls a Pickford, knocks the ball back into the box where it hits Maguire and bounces in.

Now THAT would be the ultimate banter goal.

For me, I'd like a solid 2-0. Goal early on to settle the nerves, second goal in the second half and a solid performance where it isn't really in doubt at any stage.

Bandana boy

Personally i would like a repeat of Arsenal 2013 , 4 nil up after 20 mins, relax for the last 70, watch videos of Goldbridges exploding on youtube after and BT /Sky make an advert out of it to Native American music after.

Agent Coulson

I want the team go out all guns blazing and humiliate the sh1t out that Man U team and go for blood.


Nothing less than 5 goals would be great.

Jason Byrne sullies the lineup. I’m not a fan of him at all. I suppose it’s a question of taste though, I think the rest are quite good.

He will be far down the pecking order and just there to warm people up before the big hitters.
He is actually very decent with crowd work , its his material that is not funny and i doubt we see any of that .

Tiernan, O Kane and Byrne. I'd rather claw my eyes out.

I see a draw for us this weekend but I also see City dropping points.

Muahahaha

That was unreal that it sold out in 15 minutes. Was going to go myself but had thought you'd still get tickets in a few weeks time. The Point has a capacity of about 13,000 so thats really good going. Hopefully they might put on a second night to raise even more money for Seans treatment (which is going to be very expensive)

Adrian over Alisson seeing as he hasn't played but other than that you couldn't argue.

But, but, but Martial is better than Mané and Rashford has a higher ceiling than the Egyptian king.

United have some good players but they don't play as a team.

I'd have TAA over AWB because he's better going forward. I'd have Matip over Maguire and all our midfielders over the Man U version of Pogba. Alisson is better than De Gea but he'll be rusty coming back this weekend so I'm expecting a blunder and a bit of indecision.

The rest of their team isn't worth discussing.

.G.

Martin Atkinson is the ref for the weekend. Never gives us anything at Anfield so I'll expect even less at Old Trafford.

I wonder is this still coming out, might pre-order a copy

Me too. Go 5-0 up and take Matip off and bring Origi in. Bang in 8 or 9.

Will we ever get a better chance of trouncing them??



More realistically, a boring 1-0 victory would also be fine however.

3 points and no injuries please.

SM01

Even with this shìteration of United I'm nervous. Shouldn't be the case, i know, but any win would fill me with happiness.

gimli2112

Lads can we rein in all this fabulous optimism, yer all making me real nervous?
Wolves have been poor this year and they beat City at the Eihiad. WOLVES. City. The ETIAD!!!!
Utd have decent players it's not incomprehensible they could get a result or heaven forbid a

win

I suppose Ole could have his second PSG moment against us and Rio will be shouting about Ole being at the wheel again.

I went online around 10 and I thought the site was down, tried again at 11 and then the penny dropped:).

Yeah so a Savage turnout and hopefully another night is made available but that might be difficult with such a large lineup.

Henderson starting for England, TAA & Gomez on the bench.

I'm delighted TAA is getting a rest but I can't understand playing Trippier ahead of him in both games. Seems like madness...

Henderson booked in ENG game after 3 mins so will miss their next game.

ShamoBuc

Early yellow for Hendo, hes out of their next match, no harm at all.

Look Fvck Engerland as far as I'm concerned. On Friday, Gareth had a back 4 of Keane, Trippier, and Rose, with Maguire. There were better players on the bench (TAA, Chilwell, Gomez, even Mings) players playing well with their clubs.
I've only a passing interest, but Liverpool players used to Klopp aren't being served by this rookie in charge

monkey9

To be fair to Trippier, he’s not doing too bad at Atletico. TAA is better and he’ll be chosen when it matters. These qualifiers are glorified friendlies for England at this stage and the less game time Liverpool players get, the better.

Osmosis Jones

The fewer Liverpool players playing for England the easier it is to dislike their national team and the more rest our players get, it's win win.

Just saw Rashford's goal against Bulgaria. Cracking effort. Will be United's Goal of the Month for October.

If he tried that against a Premier League keeper that isn’t Jordan Pickford, it’d be very easily tipped over the bar. Terrible goalkeeping.

Henderson played the full game in the end for England, 6-0. Break is pretty much over as far as Liverpool are concerned - no injuries incurred, some of the lads had a good run out. Bobby scored, Gini bagged a brace which was nice and Lovren got two games under his belt. If Matip isn't ok for Sunday then at least Lovren has had some minutes on the pitch over the break and would be the best replacement.

It's a pity Origi didn't get some minutes is probably my only disappointment over the break. Can see him being called off the bench towards the end of the game on Sunday, just be nice if he had a bit of a run out but on the other hand he's completely fresh.

MD1990

Not sure Henderson will start vs Man Utd.

Milner was very good against Leicester & will be fresh.

shamrock55

I presume matip will start against utd

Muahahaha

Didnt Gini score two on the last international break too? Anyone know what position he plays for the Dutch, is he further up the pitch or coming into the box from deep? He seems pretty lethal at taking his chances, same as he did with the 2 he had v.Barca.

I'd say he has more freedom with the Dutch alright, he's pretty restricted with us tbf but even when he has found himself having a shot with us lately his shooting has been poor

I'd be surprised if he's not playing to be honest. Apart from being the captain, and its against our biggest rivals, he has started Henderson in nearly every game. Its 6 days between the games so he should be fine.

BullBlackNova

If everyone is fit, we'll go with:

Alisson
TAA - Matip - Van Dijk - Robertson
Henderson - Fabinho - Wijnaldum
Salah - Firmino - Mane

It's very much established as the first XI so far this season and, bar Alisson due to his injury, has been the default team outside of particularly busy weeks.

I'd expect that against Man United and then a few changes against Genk as it's a short turnaround there - maybe start Origi, Keita, Lovren, Milner during the week.
