Matchday 2 (Group E) - Tuesday 26th September, 2017

[Stan 9,012]

kick-off 7.45pm

Sevilla vs Maribor

Spartak Moscow vs Liverpool

[Mel81x 1,907]

Can see this being a win for us. Mane, Firmino, Salah, Coutinho, Can as choices and I hope Andy gets a start for this one. I'd say the boss should even give Sturridge a start if possible here. He looked like he has a point to prove in the last game and when hes on form his contribution can be immense up front.

[Harry 1,160]

At least a point and I'll be happy. 

Away in Russia wont be easy.

Are they actually any good though? They don't seem to have started the season very well and they drew against Maribor. I'd say we should be looking to take three points here. Apparently they're without a few key players too

[Harry 1,160]

Yeah not saying they're great but Russia is a long way to go and they have a strong home ground advantage like Turkish teams. 

 

[IgnisExcubitor 671]

Apparently their defence is as comical as ours if not worse.  Should be a fun game. We will concede,  that's a given, but we have to win games like these if we want to progress. 

[Burning Gold 395]

We're much better than these and they have a shitload of injuries. I'll be very disappointed with anything other than a win no matter where we're playing.

Thought the Russian games were usually earlier kick offs?

Could be wrong but I think it's only in winter months that they kick off earlier

That would make more sense I suppose. Good job we're both getting the shite trip out of the way early.

Well you have been known to make the odd mistake or ten Stankey.

[Guest]

Ukraine and Russia away is usually an annoying trip. The best thing you can do if you get them early is take advantage. I don't know the comparisons on Liverpool with Spartak but Russian sides are usually decent and no pushovers. Rostov last season being a prime example. Zenit are usually always decent as another.

Its the same issue as Ukraine so I'm glad Napoli got theirs out of the way, shame the result wasn't great.

shutup booby

[LFCMike 1,463]

Mane, Coutinho, Salah and Firmino all start

[IgnisExcubitor 671]

Bad enough they changed the host and brought on a mimbo here, but I have to also bear David James who just called Mane as Sane twice,  and called Aubameyang glorified Lacazette. 

As for the match,  that is a strong line up named by Klopp. 

[Rick 1,165]

We should beat these lot. They're missing their best players, we've got all ours. I expect 1-3

[Rick 1,165]

Oh fuck you. Spartak have done piss all. Karius was absolute shite there for that FK.

[Stan 9,012]

1-0 Spartak. Not the start Liverpool had in mind.

[LFCMike 1,463]

Horrendous goalkeeping that

[Dr. Gonzo 4,139]

Karius is fucking dogshite. He shouldn't get in the team over Mignolet... or even Ward. He's total crap, I think he's a lost fucking cause.

[Stan 9,012]

Sevilla also take the lead as expected. Ben Yedder with the goal. 

[HK85 267]

Someone needs to lend the redmen a keeper. It's not that funny any more. 

[Mel81x 1,907]

Thank the lord for Coutinho

[Dr. Gonzo 4,139]

This is a must win, so if Emre Can could stop playing like a fucking moron and Karius could... do his job as a keeper... that would be pretty fucking ace.

[Stan 9,012]

Ben Yedder gets his and Sevilla's 2nd. 

[Dr. Gonzo 4,139]

Idk how we didn't score from that. 

Phil was stamped on but this awful referee missed it. This ref is pretty abysmal btw.

He's a bit weird this ref because the push on Salah is a penalty all day long

[Guest]

Have this game on in the background while watching the other. Not really surprised Salah missed that late chance. He's known for missing 10 then scoring 1.

Poor decision from TAA.
