Pre-match

The Reds have arrived at the Emirates and are currently out on the pitch taking a look at the surface, which is immaculate by the way.

Jürgen Klopp and Zeljko Buvac are also with the lads

This is it boys, the first game of the season, let's make it count !!

Great attacking line up that.

So we couldn't even manage to have one striker in the team wth?

Hendo still skipper then and starts the first game of the season.

Some on here will be gutted.

Not a particularly deep bench, but fully expect Grujic and Origi to come on. Let's get it!

I'm confused, is Can injured or dropped? :S I haven't been keeping up to date with things.

Very surprised no Can. Injury perhaps?

Hendo still skipper then and starts the first game of the season.

Some on here will be gutted.

Yup.

Would have preferred Can and not fart in a bucket Henderson.

My name is not Jürgen and I don't get a couple of million a year.


So I'll slide back into me armchair and simply enjoy us smashing the Gooners .

                                                   


Origi on in the second half.

I'm confused, is Can injured or dropped? :S I haven't been keeping up to date with things.

Maybe Klopp feels he still isn't 100% ready after Euros.

No Ings on bench either

This could be a 4-4-1-1 with Cou behind Firmino, Mane on the right and Lallana left!

Need Coutinho and Firmino to not go missing today, come on reds

Happy with that side,surprised can is on the bench and no place for Ings at all,maybe not up to the same match fitness as the starting 11,anyhow can't
F***ing wait for this,3 points please red men 2-1.

ings played and scored for our u23s

Ffs Pauls manc loving nephew decides to visit today for the first time in years 

Just F**k off or stfu, the F***ing games on!!!!!

Maybe Klopp feels he still isn't 100% ready after Euros.

Yeah, i didn't see him on the bench, so I thought he was dropped from the squad or injured

Anyway, good team, although would have preferred Origi, hope it's enough to destroy Arsenal.

Coutinho can consider himself fortunate to get the nod after a not too impressive pre-season.  Wasn't expecting us to start the season with Mignolet, Henderson and Moreno in the side but hey ho - Rome wasn't built in a day.

Come on you redmen!

Even though no recognised striker, its an attacking line up. I'd have Origi in there, but great option from the bench. We should put the makeshift Arse defense under pressure. Hendo starting as captain, hopefully he kicks on from an injury blighted last season. Good chance to get a better look at Wijnaldum today, big game for him, Mane, and Klavan. Migs and Moreno starting, wouldn't have put much money on that end of last season, would settle for them not making mistakes and hope we're not under sustained pressure.

Can't wait. Going for 3-2 to us CMON BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to this game. I think we will see a big difference in attack with the pace of Mane and hopefully with a full pre-season with Klopp behind them a few more goals scored and less conceded.

Surprised Henderson has remained Captain, but we don't really have many other options.

2-1 Mane and Coutinho.

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Holding, Chambers, Monreal, Coquelin, Elneny, Walcott, Ramsey, Iwobi, Sanchez.

Subs: Ospina, Gibbs, Wilshere, Xhaka, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Akpom.

COYR

Congratulations to all of us for surviving another extended period without real LFC footy.

2-1 us.

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Holding, Chambers, Monreal, Coquelin, Elneny, Walcott, Ramsey, Iwobi, Sanchez.

Don't want to jinx anything, but F**k me this is as good a chance as any to get one over on this lot.
