Topic: MATCH PREVIEW - Atalanta v Liverpool - Europa League, Thurs 18 April @ 8pm

[Schmidt]

Pretty good team for the opposition, lots of players who can beat a press in a variety of ways. Surprised Gravenberch doesn't start as he'd be a good fit and should be well rested, but perhaps he doesn't play with the needed intensity.

I think a lot is riding on Trent getting passes off before the press hits.

[Mighty_Red]

Time to step up, and show our quality. Get 1 and the game changes.

Need to leave everything on the pitch tonight.

COMPN U REDMEN!!!

[JP!]

Really? Fuck me people have short memories, still our best attacker by a country mile.

On form he hasn't been our best attacker since the AFCON, lets be honest.

[Zizou]

We're gonna concede first, obviously, then roar back to win 5-1.

A fully fit, sharp Trent with lots of movement ahead of him would be poison for this Atalanta team I think. Btw some bookies have us at 10/3 odds to qualify which is absurd. Should be much much longer.

Hello eggface. 

My brothers real name is egg face.

[Coolie High]

He got injured shortly after, he’s had a few bad games like all the others.

[Kennys from heaven]

We score first, we go through

[Zimagic]

We score first, we go through

"Jumpers for goalposts, next goal wins" style?

[StL-Dono]

Damn.... look at that starting XI.

On paper, that group has the quality of a CL winner.  Crazy to think we're in a hole against a middling Italian side.

No idea how it will play out, but you can't look at that XI and think it's impossible they couldn't put 4 or 5 in the net.   

[Oldmanmick]

We go in winning at half time then we go through I reckon.

[hixxstar]

Hello eggface. 

Double Yolker actually... 

Hope there are some good streams about.. my firestick/kodi been a pain at the mo 

[Son of Spion]

Lots of  negativity, guess a lot of posters going to watch coronation street instead.

Corrie isn't on tonight, so everyone can get behind the boys.

Come on Reds.  👊

Agree with this.

[farawayred]

Agree with this.

And what about the subs... Goals in them too.

[PhiLFC#1]

We're well capable of winning 4 or 5 nil against these, it just depends if that team turns up, let's see

[Wilmo]

And what about the subs... Goals in them too.

Think Darwin is an ideal sub for this type of game. Bring him and Elliot on at 60 and watch chaos unfurl.

And Jota?

[gjr1]

Our best starting 11 apart from Jota and possibly Quansah

Early goal please

[Sinyoro]

There has to be a starting position for Cody, I like the fire in him right now.

Well done Kloppo👍🏾

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

I'm not at all surprised the bookies have us at 10/3 and not any longer, because they know exactly what we're capable of. This is a very different starting 11 to the home leg, and much improved dare I say. It'll be some task, as Atalanta have only lost by 3 or more goals twice all season. But, they've only won three times in their past 11 games - including the match that shall not be mentioned - so they're not exactly setting the world alight. A fast start and we've got a chance, but I fear a turdfest and a low block as I seriously doubt that they will want to attack us with any great determination. But it's Europe, it's a quarter final and anything can happen.

[duvva 💅]

Crouch just mentioned Jota got a knock in training this week. Have I missed this or is this new?

I presume if he's on the bench he's fit to play.

First I have heard about this but I don’t follow everything.

[darragh85]

Can we score an early goal for a change.

[elkun]

I dont want chaos to unfold. I want goals scored.

Don't recall the boss saying anything in his presser

[ScubaSteve]

At last 1 goal in front at HT and we have a chance

I just want us to play well to bounce back from two dreadful performances

[farawayred]

Don't recall the boss saying anything in his presser

There was a training session after the presser, maybe it happened then?

[gjr1]

Klopp just said he got a knock on the hip.

Explains it! Hopefully nothing too serious

[danm77]

Flippin heck that guy is so unlucky with injuries.

[gjr1]

Well it’s not enough to stop him from being on the bench. He just didn’t finish training, I think he said. Plus he’s still a little underdone from his last injury.

[PEG2K]

Gakpo deserves to start but don't think he'll be any good in the center especially with opponent sitting deep. Think it'll be another subdued performance.

[Number 7]

Any win would help confidence.

I don't expect us to go through. But even a 1-0/2-0 win will help build something,

[Bobsackamano]

Goal in the first half and it's game on.

Chucked a speculative tenner on us to win PL and Europa at 66/1. Daft odds
