Pre-Match: Liverpool v Ludogorets Razgrad 19.45.BST 16/09/14

Need a few big results so we can believe and convince the haters we are not lost without Suarez. We have enough quality in this squad to play the exact same fast pace aggressive footie we played last season - even without goal scorers, teams cant handle it.

Hating this season so far and thank f**k for this game/cup!

Come on lets murder these and hopefully there is an AMAZING atmosphere in Anfield. Heard the Villa fans were chanting "this place is like a library" on sat. Not good.

Believe in ourselves and we can do just as well if not better than last season.

Ludogorets will apparently be starting with a Canadian keeper they signed just last week due to suspension and injury to their first choice pair.

2 nights ago apparently. 1st and 2nd choice were out injured. BR mentioned it in his presser. How the hell were they allowed to do that.

I think, if the squad is small enough, you're allowed one or two emergency signings.

On my way to the game. Excitement and nerves building. If things aren't going our way, tension in crowd will probably start to increase.

Can someone elaborate as to why Markovic is suspended? Surely not for picking up a yellow against Villa?

I have laid down the law at my company about employees watching streaming video at work...and what am I planning to do today? 

If I keep my office door closed and say I have some important calls to make for a couple hours...

You probably need a few cans to help you relax while your watching the 05 game. Mind you with another 5 hours to go might not be a good idea!

Yeah, sounds a great idea mate, got a few beers cooling nicely, yeah F**k it, time to crack them open,

Cheers N Beers,

He got sent for Benfica while sitting on the bench for violent conduct if I remember, not sure of exactly what he did. I like the guy's attitude

He got a straight red in last seasons Europa league semi final mate.  Missed the final, tonight and will miss the Basel game.

Getting properly excited now!!

COME ON YOU REDS!!!

Gonna get me stream up and started a little earlier tonight, gotta be a cracking atmosphere for sure and I can't wait to hear that CL music again! 

Expect a strong line up and a vast improvement on the weekend. Let's make our first game back a positive one.

Got in early the beers are going down nicely. Fans slowly coming in absolutely buzzin 4 this back in CL. Hope all u fellow kopites r gunna come out horse from the singing. Lets show Europe what they've been missing. COME ON YOU REDMEN YNWA.

If i remember correctly, Vucinic and someone from Benfica got in a fight and Markovic went to Vucinic and tried to calm him (as they know each other as one is Serb and other Montenegro) and for some reason referee sent off both of them.

In effin work but should see some of the first half - don't want to appear selfish but I hope that's when we score all our goals.

Let's get the bad taste from Saturday out of our mouths and get a good win under our belts.

Be good match time for the new players while helping us get up to speed with the more established players now that the stop start of the beginning of the season is over (international breaks, match practice).

Just saw the starting XI and I hope that we go out there using a 4-3-1-2 instead of the 4-2-3-1... Had enough of one striker thing.

COME ON YOU REDMEN!!

Starting 11: Mignolet, Manquillo, Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana, Balotelli.
Subs: Jones, Enrique, Toure, Lucas, Suso, Borini, Lambert.

5-0

Damn your optimism mate I've predicted the same score and wanted the 7pts to myself in the prediction league

Oh-My-f***in God, I'm as twitchy as f**k, can't settle at all, got butterflies trampolining in my guts, I'm 53 FFS, should  I be feeling like this at my age ?

Not working today, I'd F**kin crash if I was,
Watching 'God' on lfctv, right now the kids are on later, followed by the '05' CL dvd,  then the Return of the mighty Reds in Europe,

I'M f***in BUZZIN!!!!!!!!

YNWA

I'm the same mate, age, butterflies, the lot !
