Usually hate this phrase but I'm going to make an exception today....

This is a must win game!

Every PL game we play now is a must win game until we've either won the league or are mathematically unable to win the league

I 'm involved with a Swan Food project, but for this game, I want the Liverbird to be a raptor, the sort that is caught on film giving its prey a mauling, where the BBC receives thousands of complaints about the film crew not stepping in and preventing the taking apart of the wounded bird. I want the camera to pan to a welsh kid crying in the visitors end. Five hours of trepidation to get to ours, five hours of misery in the car on the way back.

brilliant

It wouldn't surprise me if we start the same team as against ManU. I'm not so sure that Matip and Coutinho are fit for starting. Klavan has done very well, no need to stress with Matip.

Thanks Filler

Despite our often lethargic approach to early kick-offs over the last couple of years I expect a comfortable win today. I'm not sure how many times I've said that in recent months though.
It really doesn't matter how we'll win on what appears to be our coldest visit to Anfield this season, its about points on the board, pressure on the leaders and more game-fitness for some of the lads. 3 nil, sorry Mr Clement.

This is something really interesting for you all - when Paul Clement's dad, Dave, played for QPR I use to think the newspapers had spelt his name wrong every week because it should end in 'ce' not 't'. Really use to bug me that.

Coutinho will start, there was a reason he came off early at Plymouth. Not sure about Matip but he needs gametime to be ready for Saints and Chelsea

With Coutinho starting (Which I think he will), I'm quite confident that we can beat this lot. If anything, I think the attitude from absolutely everyone has to be one of demanding a ferocious intensity from ourselves and the team. Let's fucking twat these and get the first points towards our title charge. Come on you Reds!

Should be the ideal game to start Matip and get him some match fitness. You'd expect us to dominate pretty much from start to finish so he shouldn't have too much to do. Someone like Spurs or Chelsea away would be different as they'll attack, but Swansea shouldn't pose many problems.

naka · « **Reply #127 on:** January 21, 2017, 10:42:31 am »

Can see this being a comfortable 3-0
Hopefully we get goals early and rest players as well as bringing on Matip for 30 minutes

Let's just go balls out and smash these fuckers.
A proper demolition job.
If, in a few months time, it comes down to goal difference, then today is the day we win the league!

Nick110581 · « **Reply #130 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:00:07 am »

Just win.

Be nice to play brilliantly and score a few. Just to regain a bit of early season confidence.

sminp · « **Reply #131 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:14:57 am »

Hoping to see us play 433 with Lallana back in centre mid and either Origi or Ojo playing the Mané role as they can provide the pace down the right

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #132 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:19:58 am »

Really interested to see the lineup today. Decisions decisions...

One eye on the semi-final second leg for certain.

Bench starting to look strong again

Should be enough to beat Swansea

sms1986 · « **Reply #141 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:30:47 am »

Clyne back in the starting eleven, and Matip on the bench

. Hopefully Matip has a part to play at some point.

Knickers · « **Reply #142 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:31:03 am »

Decent squad, glad to see Coutinho starting!

So… Howard Philips · « **Reply #143 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:31:29 am »

The bench looks stronger already. Just hope if Origi or Sturridge do come on they show they can influence the game. Hopefully Plymouth was a blip.

planet-terror · « **Reply #144 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:31:36 am »

If he'll be up for it now, he'll be even more up for it if we bring him on.

Yeah but we've took apart better teams than Swansea with the same front 3

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #150 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:34:23 am »

Trent to start vs Southampton? Seems odd to be left out the squad.

So good to see Coutinho Henderson and Clyne starting as well as Matip on the bench. Things are slowly falling back into place.

I lost my brother in law this morning so want our boys to win, for him and me and my dad and everyone else involved.

Don't care if that looks selfish. We don't walk alone anyway. I've always found solace in this great club in hard times.

Win one for us, lads.

Great to see our squad getting back to that all-dominating, full-strength one of Autumn. One or two to get back to full match sharpness and we're almost there. Fingers crossed now that we can remain injury free for a while.

Very strong team and bench, hopefully Can has a better game today, with Henderson and Wijnaldum, he should be given a bit of freedom which IMO, he flourishes with, given the free role in midfield means he won't be tied to a certain role, something which I think he struggles with, being told to sit and hold instead of being the box to box runner we know he can be.

Reckon Firmino will break his scoring duck today aswell, the lad needs a confidence boost.

Sorry mate, rest in peace to him, him and your family are never walking alone.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #158 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:39:11 am »

Would of preferred Lallana in midfield where he's excelled this season for us.

sminp · « **Reply #159 on:** January 21, 2017, 11:39:46 am »

Looks like Woodburn is on the bench as a midfield option rather than an option in the front 3 considering Sturridge and Origi are both on the bench too.
