3-0 LFC 

Got a great feeling about this one, CL returns to Anfield after 5 long yrs and I'm f***in buzzin,
Dunno F**k all about Ludogorets but who f***in cares, we're gonna batter them, it's their first ever outing at this level so they really are in for a rude awakening,  they will sh*t themselves when they walk out for kickoff,

            Henderson.               Allen
                              Coutinho
                      Balotelli. Sterling

I think wee Joe will be fit for this so I'd slot him next to Hendo, Coutinho in the hole behind Raheem and Balo, with Gerrard orchestrating from the back, and have Manquillo & Moreno marauding up and down either flank supporting and supplying we'd have field day,
Play a high tempo quick pass & move strategy by half time they'll wonder what's f***in hit them, Welcome to Anfield uncle Bulgaria you have just entered Hell.!



5-0 Redmen

Let's not underestimate Ludo ... we may not have heard of them much but if they can get to this stage they're no Mickey. My only fear is if we play they way we did in the last game; gutless and at a walking pace, then we're in for another rude awakening.

BR must drum into the players that the last performance is totally unacceptable.

According to Pearce at the Echo Allen will not be ready for tomorrow but should be ok for the weekend.

How good is it to see that thread title........fooking boss

Anfield back on Champions league watch. The place should be rocking! Don't expect this to be easy. They aren't going to be a set of mugs and we seen what can happen if your not at your best on Saturday

Id Go 4 2 4

Sterling Balotelli Lambert Markovic

Theres no way Stevie wont play in the champions league return. Finally Id love to see a clean sheet. Id take 1 0 just to see a 0 for the opposition!!

was playing the CL music while reading the thread and replies.... SO EXCITED!

took a day off work to watch this game!  can not wait! 

Please for the love of all things football, our lads need to be ready for this and be passionate!  the guys from ludo will definitely be guns blazing and I can bet that they would draw motivation and inspiration from the villa game....

we need that first goal and to make sure it happens (disclaimer* joke ahead)


Migs

Lovren

Gerrard










Sterling, markovic, coutinho, balotelli, lambert, can, lallana, hendo


This 1-1-0-8 formation will be flawless.  with mig's natural tendency to hoof the ball... we will have balo and lambert knocking them down from the air to the feet of guys like sterling, lallana, cou.

The only change I'd make is Sterling on for either Lallana (if he needs more time to recover) or Markovic. Get Raheem playing right up next to Mario as a 2nd striker, with Coutinho dropping a bit deeper to help create from midfield. One thing I've noticed is that Coutinho's passing seems to be better when he plays deeper and has more options ahead of him than when he is played at LW or in the hole. Also, him and Henderson can take turns making runs forward.

According to Pearce at the Echo Allen will not be ready for tomorrow but should be ok for the weekend.

Ah! That's fu**ed my idea up, oh well just have to play Lallana there instead, still would go at them from the off, don't let the fuckers breath, c'mon Redmen. !!!

Don't mean any disrespect mate, but we are Liverpool,  5 times winners,  trust me, they will be bricking it coming to us, they deserve their place no doubt,  but the level of class will prevail,  call me a wee arrogant b***ard if you want, just the way I see it,

Going in to this, or any other Champion's league game thinking it's a nailed on win because "we're Liverpool FC", it's the surest way to loose. Confidence in our abilities tempered by healthy respect for our opponents is how we approach things.

can't argue there then

That's how the players should approach the game, absolutely. If we as supporters think we should be battering the opposition team though then it's our prerogative to say so.

Not that I do think we'll batter Ludogorets in all honesty.

Thank F**k for this game coming so quickly, the less I dwell on the Villa game the better.

Great to have CL footy back.

---------------Mignolet--------------
Manquillo--Lovren-Sahko--Moreno
----------------Gerrard--------------
-----Henderson------Countinho-----
----------------Sterling--------------
---------Balotelli-----Lallana--------

Great to be back in the Champions League again...
can I also say how amazing Anfield looks under floodlights with all the CL banners around the stands and the touchline..
Lets hope the Anfield European roar puts the sh*t up the Bulgarians.. I'm sure it will..
Get a good result tomorrow night and it will be like a shot in the arm for our new squads confidence..

Please tell me I don't have to endure that cock Tildsley & his even bigger cock of a mate Townsend talking sh*t throughout
the game on ITV !!?
bring back Gerald Sindstat !

Cant wait to hear that music blast out through the PA system again.

I'm sitting in the Lower Centenary for the first time since 1987 (my first ever game and when it was the Kemlyn Rd).

Hope we can put right the last two home games atmosphere wise and lets show the footballing world that Anfield can still be a magical place.

I've suddenly become very jealous...

If we don't win this fairly comfortably then I'll start getting a bit worried

ITS BACK!

Just a quick point first, with Henderson being announced as new vice-captain tonight, is anyone thinking that Gerrard may be dropped for tomorrow? Just me starting speculation, but it would be the right time to announce the new VC before hes gonna be captain for the first time.

Anyway, with Markovic banned, Skrtel, Allen and Sturridge all injured I think it'll be

                                  Mignolet
              Manquillo   Lovren   Sakho   Moreno
                                  Lucas
                         Henderson   Lallana
                       Sterling           Coutinho
                                  Balotelli

Jones; Toure, Enrique; Gerrard, Suso; Borini, Lambert

Don't know barely anything about the opposition, but a high-scoring win would be nice.
Going with 3-0, Balotelli x2 + Lovren

There's going to be a Kop Mosaic for this, our 5 European Cups.

CL is back!
So frickin happy and excited.
Let's not underestimate or patronize any team we face in the CL.
Would go for:
Mig
Manquillo
Lovren
Sakho
Moreno
Gerrard
Henderson
Lallana
Sterling
Lambert
Balotelli

Predict a 3-0 win. Lambert, Mario and Lovren.
