Pre Match : Chelsea v Liverpool FC : Friday 16th Sept : 8.00pm

Think we could set up a stronger defence that we did against the foxes, but why change our strikers.
We looked better than we have so far this season, and now the majority are saying bench Studge.
We looked dangerous every time we attacked, and we need to maintain that, along with shoring up the back. Perhaps the mid field needs a change, to nullify the service to the opposition front line ?
Not sure what the final answer is. What I do know is, we started very slow against the foxes, and were dire for about 10 mins. Once we got it all together we were brilliant for most of the remainder. What we can't do Friday, is start slow and give the rent boys any encouragement. If they go ahead early we will do well to get it back. If we start well and go ahead early, they'll get the jitters and we will go on and trounce them.
Deffo 3 points for me. I'm so confident, I feel anything less is points dropped. As long as the starting line up is unchanged up top that is.

Maybe in the player's thread?

Dirk Kuyt got a player thread ?

Yup

Stop Hazard and the game is ours to be won without a doubt.

 

David Luiz vs. Germany.

Plenty of comedy gold in here, but 3:50-57 or so may be the best bit. Lots of choices though.

Reckon Coutinho, Firminho, Mane, Sturridge, Lallana, etc. can recreate some of this? I do.

Maybe one of you young fellas can embed this video on here, like.

Makes perfect sense why he went back to Chelsea, that way there is 0% chance of him facing Suarez again this season. Oh how I wish we could have Suarez for just this match if any, I've not seen a player get embarrassed so much by one player in a while 

Our pace and movement in attack could cause Luiz all sorts of problems. Love the way in that video too how Luiz goes to shoulder barge a player but ends up on the deck with the German barely even breaking stride

I liked that bit too, as well as how repeatedly, his passing was just...well...total sh*te. I mean I don't know what else you would call his distribution.

He'll end up scoring against us now with all this sh*t he's getting.

Look on the bright side ,he could end up scoring for us,wouldn't that be lovely.

NEVER go for a defeat.

If you can't do that ... then FFS don't do a prediction.

I missed out Rodgers tenure on the Prediction League because I had no insight or confidence from one week to the next.

Look, I'm not a blinkered fan with all things red and rosy when I think that it could be a tough game.

The fact is, this is probably the toughest league fixture we have this season. I fancy us all day long at Old Toilet and Etihad, due to Utd being sh*t (imo) and they way City play that it plays directly into our hands.

We all know Chelsea will park the bus, and try and hit us on the counter, Hazard, Willian using their pace. They will most likely use exactly the same tactics as Burnley, but with better options up front.

Any team that takes us on, we rip apart. The problem for seasons is when they park the bus. That's why I hope Jürgen keeps the same team and not bring in Couthino, because the fluidity against the champions was the best I've seen since Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge in THAT season.

Don't question my loyalty to the club when I see it how it is.

Going for a score draw in tonight's game, which I think will be a satisfactory results, in their back yard.

coyr

can't wait for the game to start, not long now.

Come on lads, we can take these I actually really fancy us tonight and for the season.

Lallana's uncle lives across the road from me, bumped into him before I set off for work this morning and he said that Adam told him that Firmino took a knock and could be out of this one.

Hopefully he shakes it off and is ready for it.

I know it sounds like I'm talking sh*te, but it's true, honest. 

Dont know what it is but I have a strange kind of confidence for tonight's game the Klopp efect must have a hold on me coyr.

Only just remember that it's tonight that we play. These Friday games are so easy to forget about.

Friday? FFS Sly wants to make as much money as possible.   

I am out tonight  so will have to look for highlight later on in the evening from one of the posters on the forum. 

I'm finding it very hard to predict this game, so I'll go with my heart and go with 1-3 to us, but literally anything could happen.

Hazard is their real danger man who on his day is unplayable, just need to look at the way he waltzed through our team a couple of months ago at Anfield.

There again we did have Moreno and Toure in defence.

Will be a big job for our midfielders but with Hendo showing signs that he is growing into his new role, Gini starting to show signs and Lallana rejuvenated this season I'm confident

The front three irrespective of who is picked will cause any team nightmares!

People being happy that Luiz is playing are barking up the wrong tree IMHO. He's a top player who is as likely to be instrumental in putting the ball into the back of our net as he is to make a mistake which allows us to put in theirs.

Good footballer, crap defender.
That's how I see him anyway.

You may have missed Micks joke there swab.

I reckon you've significantly over-estimated my intelligence mate, I was being serious! 

You may have missed Micks joke there swab.

i think I missed it as well, care to elaborate please.

That's a nice bit of light relief 

I'm getting nervous about this match.
Might be because of the Friday night thing.
I can't get used to the idea.
