Matchday 4 (Group E) - Wednesday 1st November, 2017

[Stan 10,364]

Liverpool vs Maribor

Sevilla vs Spartak Moscow

[Rick 1,319]

Surely we hammer these lot again. Best had.

[IgnisExcubitor 671]

Need to win this. The next match is Sevilla away,  which we might lose. 

I hope the other match is a draw. 

[LFCMike 1,684]

I wouldn't expect another 7-0 or similar. I think it'll be a convincing but unspectacular win

[Rick 1,319]

I said to a colleague the same, a very comfortable 3-0 is what I expect.

[Mel81x 2,187]

I think we'll beat them but in all honesty I am more curious to see if Klopp gives Andy a running out because I think its time he started playing more regularly.

[Rick 1,319]

I think we need to see a few of the fringe players at some point this game. 

[Mel81x 2,187]

Quite happy with that lineup. Don't see why Migs didn't start.

[Dr. Gonzo 4,504]

Haha poor Oxlade-Chamberlain, it's been barely any time and he's at right back.

Why is he? TAA will be at RB surely?

The BBC lineup had them switched - probably an error on their part tbh because I agree TAA would be a more likely right back.

Because right from the very start of the season Klopp has said over and over again that Migs will start Premier League games and Karius will start Champions League games.

Yeah it’s deffo an error on their part I’d say. Hope Ox has a good game tonight. He’s showing some decent form lately after a very shaky start to his Liverpool career. Good chance to stake a claim tonight.

Thanks for clearing that up I knew they were rotating for tournaments but somehow had it in my head that Karius was being used in the domestic cup tournaments not Europe.

Ward is being used in domestic comps but we got knocked out in the first round bless him 

Hopefully he’ll get a better run in the FA Cup

[Dr. Gonzo 4,504]

My commentator can't pronounce Firmino correctly, this is going to piss me off every time he says his name.

*edit* And he's just called Klavan "Karius" lol. I'm assuming that Fox just doesn't employ competent people for anything. Probably got the job purely on having an English accent.

 

[Rick 1,319]

Edit: it's been fucking wank.

Can understand they've come up against a Maribor-shaped bus in front of that goal, but a team with Liverpool's quality in it should be able to find a way through it.

[LFCMike 1,684]

Thought we'd struggle to break them down tonight. 

Get one of them midfielders off for Sturridge. Don't need all three on. Can and Milner been an absolute pile of shite so far

[Harry 1,214]

Salah is a legend. 1-0

[Stan 10,364]

penalty to Liverpool as Firmino is brought down. Milner's penalty is superbly saved by the Maribor keeper, down to his left on to the post.

[Stan 10,364]

That goal by Can was excellent. Love that.

Can’t wait to lose him on a free to Juventus next summer. 

[LFCMike 1,684]

Can't make my mind up on Can. Looks awful at times but can do good stuff at times too, like the goal there. Think when teams sit back against us the fact he's so slow at moving the ball makes him look bad. Looks better when he's got a bit more space to play into

That's how I feel about him as well.

Although if he could stop being so dogshite with his positioning, I'd probably want him starting over Henderson in pretty much every match at least on the evidence this season.

All of his best performances seem to come when he's high up the pitch, and when he's down in the Henderson position he seems to struggle.

The way every English pundit says his name like "Firminio" or "Firminho" does my head in too. 

[Steve Bruce Almighty 2,840]

I'm not sure if people with terrible neck tattoos deserve to have their name pronounced correctly or not

Mate this is the kind of comment that you’re normally telling us off for!

It was said with a heavy dose of sarcasm mate!
