I want them to boo their own keeper again!

[Clint Eastwood]

Nice. Get a couple before half-time, a couple after, and give Lucas a good 10/15 minutes to bow out (probably).

[gjr1]

Best team we can put out given the injuries

[Yiannis]

Could it be back to 4-3-3?

[PeterTheRed ...]

[IsraeliKopite please?]

This is the optimal lineup, we just have to win this.
COYMR!!!!!

[payback]

Strong side with lots of goals in it. COME ONNNNNN!!!!!

[jillcwhomever]

Great looking team that. Come on you Redmen let's finish the job. 

[Mr_Shane]

Very likely Boro are playing defensive, get Downing and Bamford to counter and cross the ball to Gestede.

[scouseman]

Great lineup. so cool to see the fans welcome the bus. Bought a tear to my eye that. Headbanging to Rammstein - Du Hast to much nervous energy 

[JackWard33]

Could it be back to 4-3-3?

No reason to is there? No pace upfront , no one who can play wide right ..

[HardworkDedication]

Wijnaldum has a good barber in Liverpool. That's a sharp trim lol

[planet-terror]

COME ON REDMEN

[Yiannis]

No reason to is there? No pace upfront , no one who can play wide right ..

I'm totally with you. Hope it's the same formation as last Sunday.

COYMR!!!!!

Please don't let this become a thing.

[Robinred]

The state of that team. Almost all of them are Championship level. Absolutely no excuses if we don't kick the shit out of them.

Clayton will be doing some kicking.

[Filler.]

Very likely Boro are playing defensive, get Downing and Bamford to counter and cross the ball to Gestede.

If they go one up front, I'll be suprised if it's not Bamford. Bamford is my only worry for them. Or it's 2 up front or 4411? Who knows.

Fingers crossed we're a 2 up front.

[Greatness]

Come on you reds! This is the day Liverpool come back to the big time!!!   

[mersey_paradiso]

Firmino and Sturridge up front together :

[JackWard33]

I'm totally with you. Hope it's the same formation as last Sunday.

Although it sort of doesn't matter a ton in this one - they're going to sit deep and our attackers will go where they want to create oppptinity and won't have a ton to do without the ball

[ToneLa]

That's a tasty lineup. Happy Roberto is there, he missed training.

Sturridge do us proud! Llanana a dangerous weapon. Phil is sublime. Let's do this!!

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

See you on the other side brothers

That's fantastic let's hope the atmosphere in the stadium matches the greeting of the team.

[Living Legends]

We may need to be patient today, so let's keep that in mind. Stay the course and we'll get there with some breathing space in the end I am sure.

[Iska]

I'd be parking the bus a couple of blocks away and having them walk through that and arrive feeling 100 feet tall.  Probably still get someone calling Sturridge a lazy bastard though

[Andy Hunter]

I'm having cup final nerves for this. Yes we had something to play for on the final day of 2013-14, but it felt like an outside chance and after the events of previous weeks, especially the previous Monday there was already a defeatest feel.

No way am i comparing this to going for the title, but with Klopp in charge, what's riding on today's match i feel very optimistic for the future seasons if we gain it.

[rafathegaffa83]

About as an attacking line-up as we could put out under the current circumstances. I just want the three points.

[The Final Third]

We've got a butcher's knife set worth of cutting edge out there today so no excuses in attack..let's just be sensible at the back yeah..

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Firmino and Sturridge up front together :

haha fuck yes!

[So… Howard Philips]

This is the optimal lineup, we just have to win this.
COYMR!!!!!

Has a hint of the dreaded COYB.

This we can do without.

[HeartAndSoul]

Just win boys. Nerves are kicking in now

[RI-Red]

Comon you mighty REDMEN

[scouseman]

Enjoy the game everyone. Hope we get the chance to hear and participate in the CL again after today's game. fingers, toes and everything else crossed

[jooneyisdagod]

Klopp's pre-match interview with NBCSN was AMAZING. Basically saying that the team will try to play football and hopefully the fans and the team together could scream "Yessss f*beep* yesssss" at the end.

[Kennys from heaven]

Can't be any excuses for not winning with that lineup.

Let's just hope Downing don't decide to have his game of the season against us and that Guzan is as shit as he's been lately. Gestede is, unfortunately though, one of those utter carthorses that we can make look like Van Basten. Let's hope not.

Will take a nice, no-frills 2-0. Fuck it, I'll take anything

COME ON REDMEN!

[10 years on]

The team will try and play football?
Brave move that.

[liverpool185]

Champions league football should of been wrapped up months ago and made the rest of the season a little easier but we never do things the easy way.

Here's our chance now to finally put the nail in the coffin in Arsenal's season and hopefully get some luck in the City game.

Come on reds, one last push for the season
