Topic: MATCH PREVIEW: Liverpool v Hull - Saturday September 24, 15:00

Sounds like he's caught something...

Probably a cold from standing out waiting for Phil to pick him and his 4 mates up after his car broke down

[TheShanklyGates]

Far more nervous about this game than I was about the Chelsea one. Just win. Please win.

Just curious, not looking to start a debate or anything. But is Sakho injured, or frozen out?

[Solomon Grundy]

Firmino and Coutinho were linking up really well on Tuesday and Firmino has got a pretty good understanding with Mane already, so it should work. If not, it'll be good to know we have two out and out strikers we can call on if we need to try and change the game.

[YourFaceGoesThroughALot]

i got a Phelan i just can't shake
i got a Phelan that just won't go away
you gotta
keep on pushing up
push the Mike away

[El Lobo]

End of the day we've got five cracking attacking players for three positions.

It's gonna be a long season if you get annoyed with two of them being left out of the XI.

[tommy LFC]

I love how Klopp has been repeating how we need to stop thinking about who the opponent is. Doesn't matter if it's Chelsea or Hull, we will give them hell.

Most of our problems against these teams are mental. I remember teams used to come to Anfield and they were already defeated mentally. Well now we are already nervous and frustrated before a ball has been kicked!

The attitudes of many on here prove that. I love how Klopp is trying to change that even in the fans, so I'm sure we'll see it in the players.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Prediction: 0-0

Bollocks. You beat me to it 

[Fiasco]

He won't play until he acts his age. And I'm a huge fan.

[tommy LFC]

Official line is that he's not match fit.

[KingKolo]

He needs someone making space for him as he doesn't stretch the defensive with his runs, he's going to be dropping deep where Coutinho, Lallana and Wijnaldum look to operate making it very congested.

I'd agree if we didn't have Mane running in behind.
As it is, we *should* be fine today.

[tommy LFC]

It's worth remembering that we do have Sturridge and Origi to call on if things don't work out. They may even be more effective against tired defenders after they were hasseled and harried for so long.

[hassinator]

we're playing our first team today (minus lovren).

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

Official line is that he's not match fit.

A large part of being match fit is also being in the right head space. He clearly isn't, hence the call.

But anyway, let's focus on the lads who are in the team. Big shout for Karius today, I'm delighted to see him being given his chance. The only bummer is Lovren being out, but I don't see Hull giving us too many problems that Klavan can't handle. Matip should be among the first names on the team sheet these days.

Pleased also at the front line; movement, pace, creativity. Hull will not be looking forward to this one. Not predicting a score because we've been here before with this lot, so I'll close by saying I'll be happy with 3 points and another one out of the way.

Sturridge coming on against a tired Hull team really isn't fair

[Dim Glas]

Just curious, not looking to start a debate or anything. But is Sakho injured, or frozen out?

He's not fit, and the added bonus of behaving like an unprofessional bell.

[Mighty_Red]

Yeah, big call to start with Karius so soon. Otherwise the team mostly picks itself and the main thing will be staying focused on beating Hull by doing the same things we have been doing thus far. If we take our foot off the pedal then we give them a sniff.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

[SnookerStick]

Lovren?

[sms1986]

Lovren?

He's ill but otherwise fine and should be OK for our next match.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Like anyone was suprised that our starting attackers are the most in form ones. Productivity wise and tactically.

Same goes with Karius.

[Doc Red]

I predict goals galore. Omce we score the first, Hull will just cave in. These are not the games that will decide their relegation status come season's end, I doubt they'll put up a fight.

[Alan B'Stard]

Knob rot?

[tommy LFC]

Anyone have the Hull team? Has it been posted here yet?

Hull XI: Hull: Marshall, Elmohamady, Livermore, Davies, Robertson, Diomande, Clucas, Huddlestone, Mason, Snodgrass, Hernandez.

Subs: Maguire, Meyler, Maloney, Jakupovic, Mbokani, Keane, Henriksen.

[jillcwhomever]

Come on Reds let's shut the critics up about not being able to beat teams like Hull. Time to put a real marker down this afternoon.

[tommy LFC]

On a sidenote, I'm glad we have an actual number 1 in goals again. Now we just need to take the no. 7 off our left back!

[Zoomers]

Must win.

[tommy LFC]

From the BBC -

Hull XI: Hull: Marshall, Elmohamady, Livermore, Davies, Robertson, Diomande, Clucas, Huddlestone, Mason, Snodgrass, Hernandez.

Cheers, I'd forgotten they'd signed Marshall!

[JerseyKloppite]

Hull's XI isn't too bad, they just have no depth whatsoever.

[Van Halen]

Liverpool is Awesome!  - The Mersey, Scouse wit, The Beatles, Pogue Mahone's, and the forthcoming 4-0 thrashing of Hull today!!

Woo hoo!!

[Paul_h]

they beat Swansea away, and Leicester at home this season, also a point away to Burnley, a fixture which we got no points.
Wish people will stop saying they are shite..

we will have to work for the win

[McSquared]

Come on Reds, lets have it.

So glad they've fucked off the three centre backs they usually play against us when Bruce was manager.

They're shite! If we want to do anything this season we have to brush aside teams like these at home for fuck sakes.

[Rob17]

Not a bad side out for Hull, think the key for us will be moving the ball quickly and not getting too bogged down in the middle of the park.

[The Final Third]

Let the domination begin.

[ass sitting midfielder]

Love this team. Love Lovren to bits but Klavan is on a goal streak, come on Radnar get us a header

[jooneyisdagod]

Just win. Come on you reds!
