      We'll deffo score if you're there then mate! Take care fella.

      Think we need to show some class tomorrow. Bag a few away goals and concentrate at the back.

      Keeper?

      Klopp already said it's Karius

      Porto are a forward looking attacking team playing at home. Will play perfectly into our hands. Mane to have a cracker.
      1-4

      I'll be there tomorrow ;D (among Porto fans, but I'll be there!)

      I'll be there as well, also among Porto fans!
      Anyone knows where will be the meeting point for Liverpool fans before the match?

      Who wants to bet Klopp goes with Moreno? Robbo had a a below average game so Klopp will go back to his boy toy Berty. Damn I hope I’m wrong, but I’m fairly confident that Moreno plays. Sickening thought  :mad:

      Klopp doesn’t know how to let a defense be. Sometimes less is more. These guys need to play together

      The Divers drew 2-2...we have to do better than them. I mean generally over the years I hated all London teams, Man U obviously...Everton..Nah ..just pitied them mostly.

      But for now Spurs are the most hated and although Pochettino might not get to the level of contempt I had for Fergie, he's getting there.

      Do Porto and we might be lucky enough to draw the divers..

      n.b. When I say hatred I obviously mean footie hatred..

      Head is saying 1-1 which wouldn’t be the worst result but I hope my heads wrong and we win with a clean sheet.

      I can sort of understand why some of you are airing on the side of caution but my thoughts are are more of lets f***in get at them from the first peep of the ref's whistle and see what their made of,
      If they have anything about them they'll put up some sort of resistance in the hope of breaching our defence...and that ladies & gentle persons plays straight into our hands...if we were to play a more reserved approach that could encourage them to sit back hope for a draw perhaps nick it 1-0 and then park their bus at Anfield and maybe nick a away goal,

      I much prefer us controlling from the start , put them to the sword and virtually kill off the tie making the home leg a dead rubber,

                                 Karius
             Trent Lovren Van Dijk Robertson
                             Henderson
                    Milner                Wijnaldom
                  Salah      Firmino     Mane

      Bench;  Ward, Matip, Ox, Lallana, Moreno, Ings, Solanke

      Karius to retain his place, dont want Migs anywhere near the 1st team he's had his chances so f**k him he's done for me, Lovren in for Joel, neither are ideal but got to keep them keen, Can being in suspenders allows Wijnaldom a start, i believe Jürgen would have chosen Jimmy anyway for his experience, Mo, Bobby & Sadio are shoe ins,

      Go at them from the off, 2-3 up by HT and its game over, they will crumble into the Porto turf.

      0-3 Mighty Reds


      YNWA

      Agree.

      I'm going for a shock and awe first half from the lads .

      A smash and grab 0-2 result to bring back to Anfield for more of the same.  ;D

      I see Clyne is back with the squad as is Gomez. I would not be surprised if they opted for Milner at right back instead of TAA. Portuguese teams tend to attack down the flanks with good wingers. If we want to keep it tight he might go defensive there. Or he might just provide cover in the shape of Milner in midfield. In any case its something to think about. The other worry is crosses in and hopefully VVD will help with this. We score a lot though so hopefully an away goal or two will put us in the box seat.

      No way Migs is back in for this, or for my money, the rest of the season. He's the backup the rest of the way and he's off in the summer. That's it.

      Not so sure Oxlaide-Chamberlain won't be in the starting XI, however. I expect him over Milner.


      If Migs and Lovren somehow magically reappear in the starting lineup, I’ll be fuming!!

      There’s 2 players that should definitely be sold in the summer.
      I’m never relaxed watching a game with them 2 in it.
      Heart attack territory.

      Would be great to get a result.
      I haven’t seen Porto all year. Have any of you seen them in the CL this campaign?

      How will their defence stack up against our marauding wizards and which players should we pay close attention to up the other end?

      Gee, how great would it be to draw them, if we get past this mob?

      I’d love to get some rapid revenge on the cheats.

      The build up to that tie would be fever pitch! Klopp would really amp it up during the whole week of buildup, focusing on the whole world knowing what antics to look out for.
      The ref who lands that, would have to be up to the task cos at Anfield, the noise would be phenomenal on every call.

      However, not jumping the gun. A result would be great tonight.

      No chance of that, I reckon.

      Robertson wasn’t terrible and 1 game surely won’t dictate such a knee jerk reaction.
      Andy has been fantastic as of late and fully deserves his place in the starting lineup.

      I'm going to miss most of this game, flying back from Poland on a stupidly late flight, but I should be able to watch a bit of the start so shock and awe start please, ala Juve yesterday but without then conceding the goals.

      I fancy us to at least draw this game

      I think we'll keep a clean sheet. My biggest gripe is that I'll miss the game and have to watch it recorded (if it's broadcast here in the states that is). The waiting will be agony. I'll have to go into phone silence so I don't catch the score.

      Spurs would be good, but my first choice is Barcelona. We would bury them (make them suffer, as Bobby says).

      But as you say, first things first.

      Just watched a Porto match from earlier in the season. My prediction for tonight. Fouls. Lots of 'em.

      Whether whistle tweets and free kicks are the result, we will see. Anyone know who the ref is?

      When Klopp said in the presser that this team is physical, he wasn't kidding. Be careful out there boys.

      Think we shouldn't under-estimate these. They have plenty of goals in them and have had some decent results in Europe this season, but also show signs of a weak defence that can be exploited. Unbeaten at home domestically but have lost there in Europe. We also shouldn't forget that I don't think the Liverpool forwards will get as much respect as they deserve in Europe, certainly not this round anyways.

      We'll probably play a similar team to the one away at Maribor - one we thought was devoid of creativity - but certainly wasn't.
      Milner, Hendo & Gini in midfield and the 3 boys up front. Lovren will probably play too after not playing Southampton.

      Would take a score draw, but think we might nick this 2-1.
