Preview : Burnley v Liverpool Sat 20th Aug 3.00pm

Bit of a litmus test is this one, last year we made a habit of achieving some fantastic results against the best sides and then following it up with poor performances against lesser sides. Fingers crossed it isn't some thing that will occur again this year. I think Mane is a big loss but hopefully either of Studge or Origi will feature so as to ensure we have some pace in the side. I fancy us to win a close one 2-1.

Don't care what's the score anymore. Just get a win and continue with the momentum. We must be cautious, no reason to underestimate Burnley. They're back in the PL and they would want to prove that they are worthy in the PL and will like to go all gung-ho attacking us early. We must start to counter attack with deadly effect and knock the sail out of them early. A winnable game but by no means easy meat. We must not be over-confident.

this is more of a test than Arsenal because we outplayed Arsenal at their own game .Burnley are going to be up for it and will be all over us like a rash.

l seem more nervous about these type games were we should win, more then big game, l taught burnley were very poor last weekend

We will need to defend the long ball to Vokes and to defend the second ball when it drops they have no width so will aim to strike at Lovren and Set pieces and look to keep tight at back. We need to be patient in our build up flow and need pace to get round sides.

For 20 odd minutes on Sunday we annihilated Arsenal with 4 world class goals.
We had them on the ropes with our passing and movement and let's not forget, it was away from home against a top team.
It was brilliant to watch and we were unstoppable.

I don't see any reason why Jürgen will take the foot off the gas away at Burnley, newly promoted or not.

I can honestly see a piss taking 3-0 win.. could be more..
I'm sorry, Burnley are sh*te !

Saturday afternoon kick off as well... nice change for once..

Seriously - where does your confidence come from?

It might seem weird to some Steve but irrespective of anything that's happening, come matchday, I never feel like we are going to get beaten and I have always felt that way. 

We will score a handful in this.

I've never felt not confident going into ANY match... ever.
Whether it be Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea, AC Milan...or Burnley away for that matter.

Even when we've been 3-0 down at half time in the odd cup final...

The starting 11
Mignolet
Clyne
Klaven
Lovren
Milner
Henderson
Lallana
Wijnaldum
Coutinho
Firminho
Sturridge

Other thank Mane being injured, I dont see the point in changing a winning team

i 100% wouldn't play Milner and Coutinho on the left. We'd have no width with Mane out and eveything would go through the middle. Would be a horrible game.

I will watch this and i think i have a chance to do the live thread as well. We need to win this game in any way possible. YNWA

Agree, different proposition on Sat then vs Arse. They'll be up for the battle, likely be cautious and setup defensively to hit us on the break and at set pieces.
You'd hope we have the quality to punish them if we get chances, and defend better than we did the last day (back 4 will be interesting).
Also be curious to see if Wijnaldum starts alongside Hendo, or if it'll be Can or Grujic. Hope Grujic gets a run at some stage.
And if Mane doesn't start, expect Origi to ... so will leave him in my FF team .. cmon Divoc lad!
Looking forward to seeing how we deal with this one ...  hopeful of 3 more pts...

Migs
Clyne - Lovren - Klavan - Moreno
Can
Lallana  -  Coutinho
Studge - Firmino - Origi

I like this, very attack minded. Think i'd prefer to see Origi in the centre though, and Bob a bit wider.
Gone for 4 - 1 to the red men. Full of confidence for this. Must get a goal in the first 20 though to make it happen. Otherwise they'll park the bus ! Ive put them in to score, due to the complimentary Migs howler. If not Migs, Moreno. Gonna happen aint it !

I think the losing to lesser sides is a mental thing which the players take on. Its like, " oh its only them, we beat city last week, we can stroll through this one'. And BANG ! its all over befe we get in second gear. If Klopp has them ready to go from the off 100% there's not many sides who would live with us, we just don't get going sometimes, and I think, it's because they think, It's gonna be a stroll !
Perhaps we should warm all the lads up pre match on training bikes like the egg chasers do. Then they'll go on at 100% every game instead 75/80 % occasionally.

I think Klopp will have drilled the defence after arsenal and they don't have much going forward but I think they'll be hard to break down and we'll need to patient.

Got enough quality to see us through though, I'm going 2-0 to us.

I'm sure there is an element of that mate but I think it also had a lot to do with how the bigger sides. Look to play, they like to play thought the thirds, play out from the back and pass it about. Juergen's pressing game is built to spoil teams who like to play this way, the lesser sides are often happier to get it forward more quickly, bypass the press and play more of a power game (as Watford did to us last season). The challenge I think will be dealing with the this approach.
