Why does anyone even bother responding to him?

He’s the biggest Troll on this thread.

A few come in for banter which is a laugh, he’s just not worth the effort.

I think of it as a service we are providing to his carer. When he's in here, they are probably on a coffee break.

I'd managed to block out Karius's howlers in the final until BT just replayed them...

Yeah… that wasn’t great to watch over… Proper howlers from Karius.

Hope our guys show up tonight…. Reckon we’ll win if they do.

I know it's been a few years like this but these 8 o'clock Saturday kick offs can FRO.

Been absolute purgatory today.

Agreed. Motivation certainly won't be a problem. I just hope we can link that to us clicking on the pitch.

I was worried a bit as we do a room let on Airbnb and we had guests booked tonight - didn't know when they were turning up or what they were doing (sometimes they just sit and chat with us). Fortunately they've already arrived and they're off out to a wedding reception long before kick off. I hope this is a good omen...

Port Vale, my second team, won at wembley earlier. Hops that is a good sign...

9pm kick off here in Spain… despite it being my birthday weekend (tomorrow), and my wife taking me out for the day, the last 3 hours have been dragging by. I’m already a few beers down… trying not to get pissed before all our guests turn up

T-1.15hrs.

[Chris Stott]

Full strength… no excuses then!

[Flip Martian]

Fingers crossed those that had injuries are unlikely to break down! That's a strong starting 11.

[a_dreamer]

If they have the energy in their legs then we have a great chance.

[NRS]

For some reason I feel pretty pessimistic about today - there's no clear reason too, just a combination of us looking a bit leggy recently and their pace/quality on the break. Hope I'm wrong, and looking forward to the match!

[type-r]

I'm optimistic. We'll be up for it today and I just hope we go for the fast start.

Unfortunately I live just outside Mansfield so that cancels it out.

I’m the same. It’s been a heavy duty season. Chasing the PL is immense in terms of fatigue etc. Always a secret optimist though

[Carl_Manchester]

Just remember, if you are in Liverpool tonight, make sure you have your taxi pre booked home and don't rely on the trains working, if it's like previous years they will shut the station 15 minutes after final whistle.

[JeffreyD]

Klopp and Thiago are either on the wind up or he's out.

[a_dreamer]

So Thiago isn't going to start is he. If he does it feels it's his heart ruling his head and we will be making a sub 15 minutes in.

[DSLiverpool]

3-1 here - assuming we turn up.

Spent the day at Croft, just got in and put the telly on, perfect timing.

Have I missed something? Thiago is on the teamsheet.

He's not been warming up normally and we've just seen him and Klopp separately talking.


Looks like Keita instead.
