Topic: MATCH PREVIEW - Liverpool v Chelsea - 31 January 2024 - 8.15pm, TNT Sports

To be honest I'd leave Trent and Robbo out of the starting eleven, there's no point changing a winning team I don't think currently.

[Bobinhood]

Silver lining maybe, with Klopp leaving maybe he will take the opportunity to choke Tierney out in the centre circle on live tv after he fucks us over yet again.

a man can dream.

Step away from my fantasy team and everything will be ok.....

Massive week. Massive game. In years where we've come close and not quite made it, it's been quite easy to identify big games where we've only managed to draw as decisive moments (United and Everton away in 18/19 being obvious examples). Can't let this be another one of those.

My main worry between now and the end of the season is that one of these tw@t officials red cards Klopp, setting him up for a touchline ban on the last home game. If that happens, I hope he DOES chin somebody.

What would happen if Klopp just ignored them and was on the touchline anyway?  Would they not start the game?

Win tonight and a draw with Arsenal would be a good return, particularly with key players still missing.

Annoying we've still got to go to Old Trafford and Goodison, they'll both be their cup final and massive wars of attrition (City will beat both easily).

We've got no chance lads and lasses.

Poor attempt to be funny in that video.

Alternatively, there were games in which we were too aggressive when a draw would do (this same fixture in 2013-14).

That being said, with the way things stand, you have to be aggressive here. Draw won't do when you're dealing with Abu Dhabi, and we're playing CL football next year comfortably. Do everything for three points.

[Boaty McBoatface]

I don't expect to enjoy the game, but I do expect to win it.

[Hestoic]

Really hope the crowd is up for this on a cold night. Will be the difference.

[Samie]

This is Chelsea playing us, they'll sink to Atletico Madrid levels of shithousery.

[DangerScouse]

Rumoured:

#LFC v Chelsea:

Alisson, Bradley Konate Virgil Gomez, Szoboszlai Mac Allister Jones, Jota Nunez Diaz

["Bobber" Thanks :)]

If so, happy the back line is unchanged

Really annoying that they changed to doing it by numbers and that they stick with it despite how many people are commenting on all of the posts about it.

[Red Beret]

What would happen if Klopp just ignored them and was on the touchline anyway?  Would they not start the game?

Knowing how the PL and PGMOL are run, they'd probably deduct us 10 points.

[classycarra]

if we're taking 4 points as a good result this week - which is probably fair - the win would be much better coming against arsenal

[Lynndenberries]

Like the lineup. Expecting Trent and Robertson to get some time in the second half.

[jillcwhomever]

The form of players like Joe Gomez and young Conor is fantastic, as it means we don't have to rush the likes of Robbo and Trent straight back in. Besides which the two of them will be itching even more to get back into the team now as well, win win. 

[The Test]

Virgil dismissing Ferdinands inane bullshit.

[smicer07]

God the interviewing on TNT is boring. Talk about tonight's match for a change.

[Dazzer23]

It sounds a pretty pendantic point to make but it is bloody annoying. It does take you about 4 times longer to get your head round what the team actually is, and it’s not like it’s something that would be difficult to do

[Fruity]

The game raisers are in town. Fully expect them to give it their all tonight. Proper bunch of game raising twats this lot.

Hopefully we can score early and they go back to being shite. Probably Poch's biggest game as well.

[duvva 💅]

Love that bench. And we still have Thiago, Salah, Bajcetic & Tsimikas to come back this season (have I missed anyone? Assuming Matip won’t be back ).

Endo

[The Test]

I feel like our game suits them at times. In recent times, we’ve been the better team, but at the same time they usually have a couple of midfielders who are technically good and can play cute passes and bypass our press. Annoying team.

[duvva 💅]

Endo

Ffs Sorry Endo, I knew there’s be someone

They're ALL game raisers with us, regardless of who it is.

[smicer07]

I think that's mainly psychological. I was reading on the GOT forum and they were saying teams come to Anfield already beaten. I think, to a point, teams do up their game but equally some can fall apart. Hopefully tonight.

[Persephone]

Smart move from Klopp, rewarding Conor for his excellent performance, keeping Trent fresh and easing him back into midfield if we really need to unlock that shower in the second half. Because I think we all know Poch is gonna park the fucking bus here.

Bradley must be pinching himself, six weeks ago he was barely in the team and now he's starting against Chelsea at Anfield. I'm so pleased that he's good enough to not need to rush Trent back, and offer a genuine rotation option going forward.

Robbo and Trent coming on at 65 will lovely.

[rafathegaffa83]

Would have beaten them at the beginning of the season had it not been for VAR. Line-up looks good enough for three points tonight

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

They're ALL game raisers with us, regardless of who it is.

Especially the keepers, it's driven me crazy for decades.

[MonsLibpool]

They spent a billion on that?

[duvva 💅]

They spent a billion on that?

It’s a great club crest to be fair

[Cruiser]

Bench looking tastier each time 

We really need to batter these c*nts. They really are the most despicable club.
