Topic: Spartak Moscow Vs Liverpool Pre-Match Tuesday 26th September 19:45

Rebrov in goal? I know his goalscoring numbers bombed at Spurs but that is harsh!!!

Promes is a miss for them. By some distance their best player. Pedro Rocha, Melgarejo and Promes were the three creative threats for them in the highlights I saw. Ze Luis gets in good positions too - he's missing too thankfully.

Blimey, how many players do they have out then?

[amirani]

The sight of two absolutely top class wide players in our line up makes me a happy man. Tears of joy stuff right there.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Klopp knows what he is doing, plus Flanagan might not come off the bench.

But if one of our full backs are injured, then he will.

Strong team either way

[BOBSCOUSE]

Four names that just look fucking awesome next to each other, both on paper and on the pitch!

Fucks sake - so here we go again inviting fans of other clubs to say that Liverpool are a one two three four man team.  We can't keep relying on these players and their supporting cast for crying out loud!

[rocco]

No Robertson?!!

I know Flanagan can cover both sides, but he was totally out of his depth against Leicester's reserves.

Milner on the bench

[Tony19:6]

Exciting looking team that. Cmon redmen!

[BabuYagu]

If they play with wing backs the same way Hoffenheim and Arsenal did, the Kutepov is in trouble. He's a tall, lanky center back who is in now way suitable to playing against Mane. Their wing back is also 33 years old. Having him deal with the pace of Moreno & Mane all night? It could be brutal!!!

Bocchetti on the other side should have a better chance 1-v-1 against Salah as he is more a fullback/center back like Alderweireld.

[Midget]

That's the best possible lineup we can field currently in every position in my opinion.

[BabuYagu]

Blimey, how many players do they have out then?

Two of what I consider their main creative players are on the bench. Promes is out. Ze Luis, who is a Hernandez type forward of vastly different quality of course, seems to be missing too. Shooting isn't great but gets in the right positions.

[amirani]

That's the best possible lineup we can field currently in every position in my opinion.

agree on that. On GK it's a tough call though as Mignolet has been playing well and Karius not having been tested enough this season.

[J-Mc-]

Salah or Mane are getting a hat-trick tonight.

[ToneLa]

Because United and Spurs have strikers who score loads of goals. We on the other hand have no one who scores at a good rate. Simple as that.

Teams goals are better than single striker goals as a striker can be in a drought but a team is more than one person

Also, support us.. supporter... support....

[sms1986]

Salah or Mane are getting a hat-trick tonight.

How about both get one?

Ok, that probably won't happen, but I think we're the definite favourites tonight.

[Mighty_Red]

Looks like all out attack, hope we can grab an early goal and we could run through them. Obviously we may need some patience if we don't - they will be handy on their own pitch.

A win today would give us back control of the group (or at least share of the top spot), so lets go for it!

COMON U REDMEN!!!

[Gnurglan]

I assume that because Moreno is more experienced, never gets tired and never gets injured, we wanted a right back on the bench more than a left back. That's my only answer.

Don't jinx it...

[Tonyh8su]

I know nothing about Spartak Moscow whatsoever.

But I do know with Coutinho, Firmino, Salah and Mane starting we are a force for any time in Europe.

[SerbianScouser]

That's the best possible lineup we can field currently in every position in my opinion.

Lallana.

[amirani]

I predict Salah to win POTW again. 

[amirani]

Lallana.

Currently mate.

[classycarra]

For some reason there always needs to be a problem for some on here when it comes to the lineup.

No, it's just a talking point. And for some reason talking points are always considered a problem for you in particular, as you've appointed yourself head of LFC Pravda

[Gray Hamster]

We'll win this 6-4.

good shout 😀 I'm going for 2-5 pool.

[PaulF]

I suspect their goalie will be man of the match.

[Chakan]

I suspect their goalie will be man of the match.

Luckily he only managed to keep it down to 6.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Very exciting team, that. I'd have liked Gini rather than Can but its cool. We should win this, with our front 4.

[TheShanklyGates]

I predict Salah to win POTW again. 

Think that's a pretty safe bet if it's a public vote

[Qcase1977]

I really don't understand the swapping of our keepers. If Migs is number one then he plays in all the games

[BabuYagu]

Lallana.

KEITH!

[Chakan]

I really don't understand the swapping of our keepers. If Migs is umber one then he plays in all the games.

Keeps the goalkeepers fresh... like potpourri.

[sms1986]

I really don't understand the swapping of our keepers. If Migs is number one then he plays in all the games

Isn't Karius the European goalkeeper and Mignolet the domestic goalkeeper?

[BabuYagu]

I really don't understand the swapping of our keepers. If Migs is number one then he plays in all the games

Klopp recently defined the #1 as the guy who will play at least 80% of the games. So you just have different definitions of the term is all.

[Filler.]

Great to see Coutinho in the midfield. Don't know anything about Spartak really, but looking at their line-up above with the 541 suggests it'll be a game where he'll be needed. 0-2 hopefully... would love to score early.

Was kinda hoping we'd see Studge start, but equally, looking forward to seeing Coulahmano that front 4 together.

[Alonso_The_Assassin]

The Fab Four in the starting line-up for the first time.

Looking forward to this. Let's go for it, Reds!

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Very exciting team, that. I'd have liked Gini rather than Can but its cool. We should win this, with our front 4.

eh, Gini away in Russia doesn't sound that promising

Isn't Karius the European goalkeeper and Mignolet the domestic goalkeeper?

he's saying that whoever is the best should start every game possible, but there's so little between our 3 keepers that I don't mind the rotation

[classycarra]

eh, Gini away in Russia doesn't sound that promising

He'll break his duck and score tonight

[rocco]

I suspect their goalie will be man of the match.

Most busy man of the match

[wemmick]

Damn, that's a beautiful lineup. I can't imagine we score less than three.

[88_RED]

The big 4 start together for the first time..

Does anyone else think we will play a 4-2-4 instead of a 4-3-3?

We are so fluid in the final third and likely to dominate possession.. I can't see Coutinho playing in midfield..

[RyanBabel19]

This pre match chat is hilarious with all the talk on here recently about our defending

[Chip Evans]

Hope these lads get it.

[Red Raw]

Holy shit!  Here's hoping the fab four can live up to the massive expectation I have been inwardly struggling to contain.



(come on redmen)
