Tough way to start any season - however I am pleased we get this one done and dusted early.No team has won the league in the first week so regardless of the result this wont be one I think we look back on and say 'if only'... Its a great situation to be in - if we lose its against a top team (make no mistakes, they are a top team at home) away for the first game of the season then its not the end of the world (aside from on here and RAWK). When we win, it will be a great result and we can all get very carried away!
A win would be fantastic and with Arsenal missing almost all of their CB's Couthino, Mane & Firmino could unleash a real beating. I would love to see Ings / Origi start as they both have a lot of energy will see us have tons of opportunities giving the aforementioned a little more room.
We have some frailties, again in defense and I expect Arsenal to channel a lot against our trusty LB.
If we get an early goal and go in leading at HT I can see the fans getting on their back big time - especially as there transfer window has not gone how many hoped it would. Lets do what Klopp teams do best and press the life out of them - with a young and second string defense we could have them in tatters very quickly...
