Pre-Match: Liverpool V Basel Tuesday 9 Dec 7.45pm

Have you seen the size of Reina?
Him staying would not have solved our Goalkeeper issues.

Oh I'm not sure, turning sideways would've negated the need for diving.

He's been out injured with a torn muscle for 2 months, that pic is from his first day back in training.

Yeah, but some players keep themselves in better shape than others when they're injured.

Looking forward to the game tonight. Hope the lads show up tonight and put on a great display and I hope the crowd are heard tonight too.

Yeah, but some players keep themselves in better shape than others when they're injured.

Don't think it's that bad. Look at this interview with him from just before he started training again. He looks alright for someone who hasn't trained for 2 months.

Reina "can't wait to come back"

I'm a dunce so forgive me but we just need a win to advance or win by a certain score?

Just a win would do.. oh the word 'just'

Sobering thought, tonight may be our last CL game for a while!

Right I'm ready for this now.  Watched a beauty of a Youth League game this afternoon, been shopping for the beers (bacardi), all packed ready for 4 days away at work from tomorrow, dog walked and the house to myself.  What more could a girl ask for - oh yeah a mighty Reds win to see us through to the knock outs of the Champions League.

I remember clearly nobody giving us a hope in hell of beating Olympiacos 10 years ago, time to once again make the no hopers eat their words.

Come on you F***ing Redmen, all 45,000 of you at Anfield, make us proud and show the rest of Europe what Liverpool Football Club is all about   

Sobering thought, tonight may be our last CL game for a while!

Why?, unless Rodgers totally fucks the league up yes, but we are still in with a shout to claim the holy grail 4th spot.

I said may, not is.

...Why only 3 pages before a big game ?!!

This is the game of the season, isn´t it?

So : COME ON, FANS !! WE MUST BELIEVE!!

I have a good feeling about this game : Am I alone  

COME ON REDS !!

Basel is no special team, they are as ordinary as us at the moment. It'a a matter of whether we want it more or them. I don't want to see us playing ping-pong in defence and midfield just thrust through their bloody midfield and defence as if we 're a wounded beast, that'll do for me and murder them. There's no reason for them to survive in fortress Anfield, no reason. And we need more players inside Basel box and no running sideways for Lambert, give their defence hell for 90 mins. This is certainly a winnable game but an overly cautious BR will see our exit from the tournament, seeing enough games under him this season I'm afraid that's exactly what he'll do.

I sort of understand the lack of positivity on here but I'm pretty sure the whole group are aware just how pivotal tonight's game is, and I believe we will win and go thru,

I would have started Lallana but I can understand why Brendan has held him back, for me Brendan wants the game done by the hour but if not he has players to come on to bolster things,

Two up front would have been ploy however what do I know,

IF we can play at a decent tempo and control the midfield we'll be fine, I'm more than happy Can is in there with Gerrard in front and Lucas behind,

I'm buzzin and looking forward to watching the mighty reds in Europe, the only thing I'm not looking forward to is listening to that f***in boring kunt Townsend commentating ,
w**ker !!!!


3-1 Redmen


C'mon Redmen

Basel is no special team, they are as ordinary as us at the moment.

Say what you like about the Swiss league but they've scored 12 in their last four league games including 4 in the last one, they're in the confident, scoring groove whereas we ain't.

Too nervous for this. Can't even contemplate losing but i have a sick bad feeling. God look down on us today, please.
