Liverpool V Southampton: Pre-Match Thread, Sun. 17th Aug 2014 KO 13:30

Maybe someone superstitious.

To avoid an argument, and continue having a sex life,  I've reluctantly agree.  I now have to go all day without finding out the score so I can watch it later that night. F**k the animals! F**k all the animals!!!!

A great ambition mate but I doubt you could manage ALL the animals in one visit.

Mig
Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Johnson
Gerrard Allen
Sterling Henderson Coutinho
Sturridge

Subs Jones, Enrique, Sakho, Can, Markovic, Suso, Lambert

Flanagan is injured I think. Prefer Sakho to Skrtel but Skrtel and Lovren did play against Dortmund. Markovic hopefully fit for the bench and Moreno not registered in time.

Next week's bench to feature Flanagan, Lallana and hopefully Bony/Lavezzi/Eto/Diao/Falcao/Reus.

3-1.

I guess it'll be

Migs

Manquillo
Johnson
Skrtle
Lovren

Gerrard
Henderson
Can / Allen

Sterling
Coutinho
Sturridge

What ya reckon?

I reckon that Sakho should be playing ahead of Skrtel.

Brendan's pre-match press conference

Had to turn down a ticket for this one to go to a pissin wedding in Birmingham. Greeeeeat, I know 2 people at the wedding, my wife and I have met the bride. once.

Keep your head down mate. 

Last time I voted for us to win, we lost to scum.. and voted for draw, we won 4-0 in Anfield.. voted draw and won against Man City..

Now I hope the universe follows the same pattern  of this my tiny supernanoscropic contribution.

I'm the one who voted for draw above... not because I wanted us to.. but just as i explained above

My preferred team:

Mignolet
Manquillo
Lovren
Sakho
Enrique
Gerrard
Can
Henderson
Coutinho
Sterling
Sturridge

Team I'm expecting:

Mignolet
Manquillo
Skrtel
Lovren
Johnson
Gerrard
Can
Henderson
Coutinho
Sterling
Sturridge

Bad feeling here. Reckon our midfield will be shown up on Sunday. Draw or defeat for me.

Shown up? We're playing Southampton who's just lost 70% of their team. Not Barcelona.

We need to show up for every game. That includes games against the likes of Bristol Rovers in the league cup.

Have a little faith.

                 Schneiderlin   Wanyama

               Sterling          Coutinho
          Can         Gerrard       Hendo

You honestly think their midfield is going to best ours

Just tear them a new one.

Agree.

I think we'll tear them apart.

Bit hard to get Bristol Rovers in the League Cup,  for starters they'd need to be in the Football League. 

No Markovic, thats a shame.

Hope Sterling and Coutinho run the show with Sturridge bagging a few.

Be great to see the lads run out on Sunday Been a busy summer, good to get back to the business on the pitch.

Am expecting a win for us, decent pre-season, at home, positive attitude, go at em from the start with pace. We've already softened them up by poaching their top players - surely won't be a better time to play them, missing a lot of the old guard, new boys comin in.

Big responsibility on Studges shoulders, backfilling Luis. Hope he gets 1 or 2.

3-0 to the Redman cmonyaboyya...

Lets tw*t these tw*ts. 4-0

Don't think it'll be as easy as some think, expecting a similar game to the Stoke match last season although fully expect us to get the 3 points.

Cant wait to get back to Anfield, and looking at the pictures, there's been significant work done behind the Main Stand since the Newcastle game.

Expect the same team that started against Dortmund.

Any news on Markovic and Lallana?

Any news on Markovic and Lallana?

Think Brendan said Markovic should be ready for Man City and Lallana should be back in full training by the end of next week.
