Pre-Match: Liverpool V Newcastle (03/03/18 - 17:30)

If supporters were the determining factor in the decision, you are likely correct.

But everything is about TV, yeah?

So how much snow is there? Is it this much? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMJox-O9H0c

 

 

It's not so much the quantity,seems like at most 6 inches, it's more the brits don't know what to do with the snow.So over here the Red Sox,universities,corporations,citizens all get out the blowers shovels etc  and get the sidewalks clear,the city has a shitload of ploughs,sanders and also get private guys with ploughs out on the streets as far as i know that doesn't happen in Britain,stand to be corrected.But i'm gonna blame FSG if the game does get called off,they could of shipped some snow blowers over cos it's just raining here! cheap bas**rds.

Resting players for what ? Any 'resting' can be done on Tuesday

Exactly against Porto not in the Premier league, a game before Manure away.

We don't need a rest, but if Liverpool game is called off, we have plenty of time to fit the rematch in.

I can confirm, we don’t know what to do in the snow mate, especially in London

How did Milner get a knock? He is a doubt for tomorrow now.

All the Scottish games have been called off, 4 off in the championship and leagues 1 & 2 are nearly all off. Tranmere's game at home is off.

Our pitch should be ok and I would imagine the common passageways inside the stadium are safe. So it will come down to the safety of fans travelling to the ground. Public transport is in some disarray. Some roads and motorways are blocked or closed all together. Flights not to great either. Looking grim. I would expect a relatively early announcement so fans will know the situation.

I would absolutely happy if the game was called off
Rather we play such vital games with no reason for excuses such as the conditions were bad and some potential injuries being caused.
If it goes ahead and all considered, I reckon presently that it would be a very nervy 2-1 win for the boys.
Rest some of the attackers in the Porto 2nd leg and go all out for the manure game on next weekend. 

Gotta say that I am glad that our old boy, Jonjo Shelvey isn’t available. Always worried when an ex-red has the chance to face us and suddenly puts in a top class performance.

you know there is heaters under the turf right?

I love Rafa Benitez to bits but he's in for a torrid ride when we lock horns at 5.30 Saturday.
He'll play his Talismen and instruct them to do their utmost to break us down but we'll simply be too strong for them.Fact !
If there's one player we've gotta keep an eye on it's Shelvey.
I say it every time, but it's true, he's a banker on scoring at Anfield or at least an assist.
Stop him from playing his game and it's another 3 points in the bag.

good feeling about this one..going for a 3-1 win

Extreme cold or hot temperatures and adverse conditions have an effect upon players.
You really don’t help yourself do you. Ugh.

Apparently shelvey is unavailable.
Delighted as there isn’t anything more troublesome than a former red wanting to prove a point

Has kick off time being moved or have the mods got it wrong. The countdown to kick off is showing just shy of 7 hours, as if it’s a 3pm kick off. Is it not 5:30pm?

Just noticed that myself and had to double check, as I’d organised my day around it!

Going for a 2  0 win for the Reds, our defence seemingly tightened up, a bit lately. Although expect a tough battle, with Rafa in charge at struggling Newcastle.

weve just spent 75 millions on a defender...I would hope so

It would be huge if we can win and Chelsea lose to City. That would open up a sizeable gap to 5th place and really put us in the driving seat for top 4 as a minimum.

Delighted to see that Shelvey is out for them. He's their most important player along with Lascelles. They will be tough to break down but I fancy us to win this one 2-0. VVD and Salah with the goals.

Yep, win this and City beat Chelsea and it increases that gap.

Rafa will make it tough and even more so I fell coming back here but we should have enough to win this.

It'll be tight though and I think 2-1.

Been said by Heimdall and others that Rafa can plan and plot till he's blue in the face but they just don't have the defensive capabilities to shut out an attack as potent as ours.

But there is no script and the performance is not guaranteed. Whilst I fully expect us to run out easy winners all results are on the table. Nevertheless I'll say....4-0

Seems as if the team is

Karius, Trent, Lovren, VVD, Robertson, Hendo, Can, Ox, Salah, Firmino, Mane

instead of calling me a dick, this post by would be a lot more better if you enlightened us all on how adverse weather could have affected our players.

With the wind chill of bout -9....Karius could get frost bite in his big toe..

Yeah if we get the expected win and City turn Chelsea over, it gives us a 7 point buffer. Might just need it playing Mancheater Utd next week. And with Conteh in the sh*t 'ouse with Abram we could strike a significant blow this weekend.

You raise a good point there. Maybe because thermal socks are just too expensive for football clubs to buy. Im thinking they would need to buy for all players,  if they brought for multiple days it would cost even more than Klopps iPad.
