Hopefully we'll comfortably shut them out at home. Hoping for a few goals as this is my first time at Anfield

9th july?

I think we'll have a very different team on the field and Bren will have given the team a lot of things to iron out from the first leg. I have a feeling this will be the first good display of Rodger's system at work. Would love us to sort the Allen transfer in that time as well and hopefully see the first glipse of our starting CM line-up (Gerrard, Lucas, Allen) for a few minutes.

Surely he'd be allowed a break after the Olympics, or not?

Surely he'd be allowed a break after the Olympics, or not?

Suarez and Coates are supposed to be back in training tomorrow, so it doesn't seem like we're giving breaks to players who were in the Olympics.  And rightly so, since they would have had a break after the season was over.

[Aido LFC]

Surely he'd be allowed a break after the Olympics, or not?

They already had their break, before the olympics.

[El_Pistolero]

Surely he'd be allowed a break after the Olympics, or not?

He's had till tomorrow off since getting knocked out. They had a break before the Olympics started so he'll be fine.

[TomDcs]

This gonna be on TV?

[cahalboyd]

Really looking forward to the game, first time at Anfield in three or four years (pesky mortgage  ) Hoping for another strong lineup and a few goals too!

[Paul-LFC]

Going to this, looking forward to it, first game at Anfield of the new season!

[oddball]

Was going to ask if they would be available for selection.

Hopefully we'll comfortably shut them out at home. Hoping for a few goals as this is my first time at Anfield 

Me too, hope you enjoy it mate. I get to 1 maybe 3 a season if Im lucky. Its been the same for the past 20 years. Never fails to take my breath away when you exit the stair to the seats and you see the pitch. Taking my daughter for her 3rd time (1 of which was the big screen for the FA Cup Final), so cant wait myself.

[stardorman]

Im goin with...

                             Jones

 GlenJo     Coates     Skrts     Enrique

         Hendo      Lucas    The Shelf

          Suarez     Borini   Pacheco

[East of Anfield]

We were lucky we did not lose from the previous encounter due to their bad finishing,don't feel the same for the return leg though got a bad feeling we will lose and than go into extra time

Ah I've missed pre-match threads...

[Suareznumber7]

Need to be patient with this one. Hopefully it's a better performance but don't expect us to look brilliant just yet. The full team is not going to be fully ready yet.

[kelly34]

This'll be the highlight of my week.  Can't wait. 

Reckon we'll put out a strong side with it only being 1-0 too.

[El Denzel Pepito]

Was going to go to this but I'm too skint to travel up.

I can't wait for this, even though it's just a qualifier. European nights at Anfield are always boss.

[J-Mc-]

Reina

Johnson             Skrtel             Agger                Enrique

Lucas

Gerrard             Adam

IMO

                Reina

      Adam Spearing
          Gerrard
Downing   Borini    Cole

Its my birthday on Thursday so surely deserves a win for the redmen! 

Cant see Agger, Carroll or even Suarez & Coates featuring in the starting line up here. Think it will be used to showcase a couple of players that we may be looking to move on.

Last time we played on my birthday we won 5-0, I was on the Kop, and Steve Gerrard scored a hat trick. Was a good day that

I'd take 5-0

Even if we signed him in time I don't think he will be eligible fo this qualifying tie

[LondonRedMan]

Important to get at them early and get a goal as they are a dangerous outfit based on their 1st leg showing

[.Mike]

Hopefully we play a strong team. I wouldn't mind something that puts some youngsters in with players who still need to get fitness.

Jones; Robinson, Sama, Agger, Kelly; Lucas, Henderson, Adam; Pacheco, Morgan, Downing.

Would be really nice.

[Kennys from heaven]

am up as well for this as well - finally got a Kop ticket.

Looking forward to seeing how things are laid out by Rodgers and how the team reacts. They owe us big time imho.

Won't be the same looking at the dugout and not seeing Kenny, but that ship has sailed.

[the_red_pill]

Think the 1st team need the fitness more than the youth at this point in time seeing as the league's just here around the corner, so I'd want us to play a full strength team with Raheem getting some minutes.

Once we're past the qualifiers, we can throw the young 'uns in the deep end.

[Gifted Right Foot]

Was going to go to this but I'm too skint to travel up.

feel like picking the correct starting line up again? 

[oojason]

16/1 on oddschecker to win the tournament - a bit stingy as Thursday could well be a banana skin for us given the performance last week.

Here's hoping for us to get an early goal or 2 to take any momentum Gomel may try to build early on - due their fitness and sharpness currently being higher than ours.


(we are at 40/1 in some places to win the Prem)

[Le Jake]

look at some of you worried we're going to go out of the Europa League at home to FC Gomel with a 1-0 lead and we're at Anfield and we have got some brilliant players.

I'm honestly flabbergasted.

Well, if we don't vastly improve on our performance from the last leg, and Gomel score a couple of their many good chances we're in a bit of strife.

It's one thing to have confidence in your team, but your attitude is bordering on complacency, and if the players hold the same attitude we're going to be in trouble.

They're gonna be more bothered about visiting Anfield and getting some merch from the club shop than scoring 2. Bring on the mighty FC Gomel.

Exactly the type of attitude that will see us get beat.

[Tepid water]

Suarez will make himself available to start.....

He's not e sort who likes sitting on the bech..

Might be rested though

[Le Jake]

Exactly the type of attitude that will see us get beat.

I'm almost embarrassed to see people think they are a serious threat, we're going to get better every game, and we're at home, without some long arse trek round the world.

4-0 Liverpool, Gerrard, Borini, Skrtel and Adam.

It's funny, seem to have lost count of how many times I heard that last season.

[sminp]

Exactly the type of attitude that will see us get beat.

If he's a player it's a bad attitude but as a fan I think supreme confidence in your team is a good thing

[Le Jake]

Shhh don't blow my cover whay ay pet haway

[farawayred]

I will miss that game... Flying to Tanzania on the 7th, arriving on the 8th. I doubt they'd have TV, and even if they did, they may not show this game. would be lucky if I catch the result on the Internet

[Ickle Girl]

Just bought tickets for this, hopefully it's a good atmosphere!
