Spartak Moscow 1-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Their Otkrytiye arena



Starting XI: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Coutinho, Salah, Mane, Firmino.

Subs: Mignolet, Flanagan, Klavan, Milner, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge.

 Sadio Mane returns to the starting line-up as Liverpool make three changes for the Champions League clash with Spartak Moscow in Russia.

The Senegal forward is back in the Reds’ attack after a three-game domestic suspension to join Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

Loris Karius and Trent Alexander-Arnold are the two other players drafted in by Jürgen Klopp for the fixture at the Otkrytiye Arena.

Team as expected.  Very positive line up for a European away game.

Here we go, time to see that front 4 in action!!  If they click quickly it will be a long night for Spartak!!

If we do not beat them, there is no excuse. Line-up as expected by many.

Come on reds.

Team as expected.  Very positive line up for a European away game.

We need the points though, I wonder if we'd got all 3 points in the first game would we have played a 'safer' team.

Fingers crossed we get our first away win in rage CL group stages, since 2009.

Probably out strongest team arguably with the exception of Clyne for TAA and Robertson for Moreno.

That front 4!!!!

I can see us dominating possession and controlling the midfield with Coutinho back in the middle.

Clyne's argument is alright but still debatable for Robertson's.

Whilst meanwhile at the back...

Let's do these cu*ts

Id love to play sh*t and win 1 nil. Anybody underdtand where im.coming from?

Away in Europe (sort of) - woot. Lets smash these racists.

I'm predicted a 1-4 score
COYR

Come on redmen , let's batter these un vetoing bas**rds

Delighted to seee Phil in midfield. If we can keep it tight at the back( fingers crossed) we should have this handy enough.. 1:3

Robertson not on bench, yet Flanagan is.. baffling.

Flanno offers cover for both LB and RB but yea it's a bit strange as Robertson is miles better than Flanno.

Here we Fuckkkkking go Lads!

Huge 3 points up for grabs.

LETS DO THIS.

WOW just realised our midfield. 6-0 win!

Not the tallest of sides are they?

F**k me we are going to have to take our chances as we have 5-2-4 formation

Exciting

A 1-0 win would be a better boost of confidence than a 20-3 win. CLEAN SHEET!!!

Come on redmen bag a win
