The competition that Fred won to play for Man Utd.

Does anyone know how many games he gets to play for?

Hope they kept the receipt.

I remember reading he was like Kieta

Keitas don't have calipers and a thick polio sole though....

It’s not that they lost - that happens to all teams - it’s the manner of the loss.

Even so, I'm with Adam on this one. Hoping our 2nd game is as entertaining and successful as our first. All teams are capable of having a crap start. Except apparently Citeh...

[curlie467]

I'll err on the side of caution too
We are capable of anything.

Do you remember the manner of our recent trip to CP when we were 3-0 up and about to win the league?

Coz I bloody do

I remember it well, but that result was irrelevant.. that title challenge was over after the Chelsea game.

I’m not superstitious, and I don’t believe in fate.

Karius poss off to Besiktas

[Cbull]

That's good news I think. Mings should be an acceptable backup providing he's willing to mentally accept that role.

I'm thinking Fabino will get a start tomorrow. Would maybe even like to see Sturrudge get a start.

It's important for us to not get complacent tomorrow and expect the win without giving 110% effort. Keep that attitude for all teams and we'll be in with a shout this season.

Another dilemma for Klopp will be how much to tinker throughout the season. Personally I'm a firm believer of playing your strongest squad for PL games (within reason). Too much tinkering can be a hindrance.

[Pommy]

I think its best we keep quiet until after Palace because knowing our historic luck with mid table teams well get done.

I would add that its bloody lovely seeing Man Ure get rolled over embarrassingly well

Neither am I but I don’t believe in crowing too much just because one of our competition loses one game.

He who laughs last laughs hardest!

Anyway looking forward tonight but we need to start strong and take our chances and silence their excellent t home crowd

[jammy-git]

We don't usually get to laugh last so I'm going to take every opportunity as it comes along!

I imagine he'd be happier being backup (until January at least) to Alisson more so than to Karius.

I am pretty relaxed about tonight. We have a good team and squad and have faith they will perform across the whole season. Gomez may be targeted for his inexperience - really hoping he blossoms during this season.

[jammy-git]

Tonight are the type of games we should be winning if we want to be contending for the league. Draw/lose and it's top four at best as usual.

[mr sagman]

Tonight's game has to be treated almost like a cup final.. Its these tricky away games that have cost us dearly for far too long.. Silly points dropped now will

certainly cost us come May, I genuinely believe we now have the squad to unlock these type of teams when they inevitably park the old bus, I also believe

the players now really believe in themselves and the team feels that at long last we have a top keeper and solid defence, They also will be hungry for more

after last seasons adventure, As long as the players can keep beating the lesser teams I believe the bigger games will take care of themself, tonight is a

massive game for us psychologically as its always proved a tough ground to go to and it also has some depressing memories for us (3-3 score), Just hope

Gomez can stay focused for 90 minutes as he will come on leaps and bounds alongside VVD.

[Adam B]

My slight concern is Gomez looks lightweight and gets bullied, and he may be up against Benteke

[Cbull]

Zaha is the one to watch. A defenders nightmare. Hopefully we can pin them back and keep'em there.

Palace have become something of a bogey side. Just hoping for a positive result.
