      I think the apprehension is reasonable.  It will be an intimidating atmosphere and build up.  We do have a talented but still young team, and to be fair they've come up short in finals etc when the pressure has been on.  I feel like the club feeling it necessary to leave Shaqiri at home will also add concern in our young players minds. 

      Hope I'm all wrong and they breeze down this tunnel and go out and smash them 5-0.

      That's old footage the tunnel has been cleaned up and refurbished to a degree, it doesn't look as "intimidating" now.

      That tunnel reminds me of the walkway between lines in “Passeig de Gracia” metro station in Barcelona.

      Tbf that was hairy enough at midnight without 50,000 Serbs baying for blood......

      Fair points.

      They might be a pretty poor team, but a crowd like they have can really lift them and if they manage an early goal, they will be a handful.
      Then again, if we get an early one, I think we'll win it comfortably.

      I'm wondering if their coach will line up 4 players on their right again at kick off like it's F***ing rugby  :laugh:

      What did all the grafiti mean, it just makes it look a bit sh*t rather than intimidating, the noise is impressive though, but I still don't think it will phase our players to much, although it would be a very bad game to play any rookies.

      Early goal and we’ll coast home, otherwise I can see it being a very tricky evening.

      Bazed on Clynes unavailability and that Lovern might be well up for this

                               Becker

      Joe          Lovern    VVD     Robbo

                  Gini                Fabinho

      Mo                Lallana         Mane

                           Sturfidge

      After Saturday's disappointing choke job we need to go out and own this game today and take a commanding position in our CL group. No messing around.

      I know young Trent had a poor game by his standards but I'd keep the same backline for this game ie TAA, Gomez, VVD, Robertsen. Trent needs more games to rediscover his excellent form from last year, he doesn't need or deserve benching.

      I think Lallana and Studge will start and TAA won’t.

      Agree. TAA should play against this lot to get better. Yes, he had a bad time of recent but that is against much better opponents than these lot. Anyway, that is my 2p worth not that Klopp listens to me.

      I can understand the Lallana choice, because if Gomez plays on the right we lose a bit of attacking threat, and Lallana brings a bit extra.

      I'm curious about why you think Sturridge will start though?
      To rest Firmino?
      To me, he slows things down a bit too much, but I'm interested to know your thoughts on it.

      Anyone think or feel we are going to dominate this game and win comfortably it should be a game we can do exactly that. 15 competitive games into the season we should now be starting to shine and play with confidence it would be great to start tonight with a commanding performance and a big win

      I think if we get an early goal, we could take them apart.

      The first 20 minutes will be hectic, as they'll throw everything at us, but we have the players to cope, and hit them on the counter.
      After 20, I see us gradually taking control of the game as long as we haven't conceded.
