The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 8]

Don't need to guess:
Confirmed ‪#‎LFC‬ starting XI to face Ludogorets in the UEFA Champions League tonight:
Mignolet, Manquillo, Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana, Balotelli.
Substitutes: Jones, Enrique, Toure, Lucas, Suso, Borini, Lambert.

Balo starts alone up front again I guess.

I think it's safe to say BR wants to win tonight.

[jammy_basturd]

It's a very strong team!!

Let's hope they are good enough, because it doesn't look like there's much on the bench if plan A isn't working. Much as I rate Suso, I don't think he's ready to come on in a high pressure game and win it for us.


We're going to be 2 nil down with half an hour to play and Borini comes on to score a hat trick now!

[jammy_basturd]

I was thinking the same thing, not many attacking midfield options on that bench! Two strikers and Suso - I guess Borini can also do a job behind the striker(s).

Well i guess if you don't win tonight it would be difficult to proceed in this tournament,

Where are this lot from ? i'd never heard of them before their last game heroics.

[jammy_basturd]

Quite right, out of our group this is not the game we can lose!

Bulgaria apparently.

It's only Man yoo fans that jump on the hook about out of towners supporting their club .


Wasn't south London beautiful today eh ? hope you took your shades with you today.

Nice to see Robbie on ITV. No comment about the geezer to his right...

Sounds like the Anfield faithful have been saving their voices for this match!

[type-r]

Ludogrets look decent and well organised in the opening moments. Don't look fazed at all and haven't let the occasion get to them. Liverpool are going to have to work hard for a win tonight.

Did I just see Ballotelli Defending ????????????

Seems awfully quiet at Anfield tonight.

[GALLARDOGUY]

Just lacking in the final third at the moment

[Sargeant Orange]

The ref is giving everything, we need to go with it rather than get wound up by it.

Lallana needs to get on the ball more for me, disappointing so far.

I bet three point lane is quieter tonight.

If UTD kick on with their recent purchases that will leave everyone other than Utd, City and Chelsea facing an almost permanent scrap for fourth with the occasional blip like Liverpool last year.

I would say UTD are the only team who can compete with City and Chelsea in the spending stakes without a benefactor. I just hope we can play with last year's style and will take what comes from that.

Pretty fair assessment that

And looking dodgy at the back, Oh and a bit weak in the middle.


Im not one to be pessimistic normally, But we just aren't clicking at the moment (no its not missing Suarez).


The just look like a group of strangers.

Not trying to point score dude, i just remember the days when Anfield was a fortress in Europe & the crowd were noisy thats all,

[hornetrider]

Lallana has done nothing as far as I can tell. Coutinho has been gash I'm afraid, continuing his form this season. Balo not really looking dangerous. We are missing Studge.
