LFCMike Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Hope we smash them for ending the unbeaten home record last season and also stopping the 100% home record in 19/20. But any win will do at this stage

But any win will do at this stage I'd love to give them a demoralising loss that hopefully gets in their heads and gives them a poor run that will maybe see the cunts go down. But I'll take any win we can get. Even if we play like shit and just fluke a win...

Certainly wouldn't have lost six in a row at home though
Rick Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Hope we annihilate these lot. Hope they finally flush this season.
LFCMike Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 I assume Fabinho won't be involved tomorrow following his dad passing away this week. I wonder if we'll see Thiago or Henderson thrown in sooner than expected or if Klopp will go with the same as last week?
Spike Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 How is van Dijk looking on his return from injury? Back to normal? Missing a step in pace?

It was a knee injury right? I'd have to assume his vertical leap and pace took a hit. Two of his best tools as well.

Yeah ACL tear, so a pretty bad knee injury. I'd also assume he's not as good as he once was, although some players have returned from bad injuries and come back looking the same player they were while others haven't. I think it's one of those wait and see things. But he looked fine in the air last week, so hopefully that's a good sign about how he's recovered.

A fear, ‘should I make this challenge? Should I leap as hard as I can?’ That would have to be one of the hardest parts of recovery. Fingers crossed for the bloke though.

He basically said as much in the post-match interview... that he feels like he needs to "get used to playing" again.
LFCMike Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Yeah he wasn't really tested much defensively against Norwich. It's those switches of play that he's capable of that Liverpool have missed the most though. Was great to see a few of them last weekend and certainly makes a difference to Liverpool as an attacking outfit

Cicero Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 It's the mental aspect he has to get overcome. His ability on the ball and instinctual positioning should have him fair better than most CBs who've done their ACL.
Rick Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I don’t have any worries when it comes to Van Dijks mentality. The man has plenty about him to overcome any nervousness after returning from that injury. As nice it is to see Elliot in the team, the midfield looks a little bit lightweight with him and Keita either side of Henderson. But with Fab & Milner out, we don’t have much choice. Could have started Thiago, but clearly he’s not ready for a start after his little knock. Hope we smash them.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 21, 2021 A lot of excitement on social media as Burnley line up with shirt numbers 1 to 11. The first team in the Premier League to do so since Charlton in 1998.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 21, 2021 Thought Robertson wasn't back till next week? This is good news. Hoping we get to see Konate today.

Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Author Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 Think Burnley are in for a paddling today.

It's once by Pope for the goal kick Having said that, it would be interesting to see how consistent Mike Dean is with it considering he has had a word with Mee about it already.

Couple of throw ins too. Embarrassing from Gudmansson
