      Pre-Match: Liverpool V Napoli (11/12/18 - 20:00)

      So win by two clear goals or any win to nil and we are through to the last 16. It should not have come down to this but here we are. Hopefully a special European night at Anfield lies ahead.

      The confidence will be sky high in the camp at the moment and I expect the lads to get the job done! 2-0 Reds!!!  :kop5cf8koxp6: :kop5cf8koxp6:

      I got 3-0 down for this. I predicted every 3-0 we got this season so far as well. That's because I said 3-0 for every game though.

      Will be a tricky game as they are a quality outfit.

      Ancelloti got one over Klopp last time and the players looked out of sorts.

      We shouldn’t see the Milner Hendo Gini midfield so a better chance of controlling the game with the likes of Keita in midfield.

      I doubt they will sit back as they now 1 goal will make it very difficult for us which in turn should suit us playing against a team who want to play football.

      Will be very tight imo.

      Excellent on the counter attack so we will have to be very careful. Would start with fab, gini and naby but reckon hendo will start

      I think Fabinho,  Gini and Keita should be  starters since we're chasing a goal against a top side.

      It suits us that we basically know what we have to do. Napoli will be conflicted with whether to sit in and hope for the draw or take us on.

      They'll be compact and look to break fast on the counter.
      This will be the biggest test of the evolved system that Klopp will have so far.

      Would prefer to see Fabinho & Keita start as a result.

      I think we all want to see more of Fabhino and Kieta but I think Jürgen will go with his tried and trusted Henderson and Gini plus one.
      Lets try to just get behind the 11 Jürgen picks as he has been proved spot on this season. We haven't travelled too well but this is Anfield and we could see another historic night a night for a hero.

      We'll win 3-0.

      Wonder if we could see Naby, Fab and Henderson in midfield? Say what you will about Henderson, but he's got a good bit of experience in these type of games for us and I can see him having a role to play.

      We should get at the quick to unsettle them and get an early goal.

      Go for it with an attacking line up or attack with a bit of insurance. I'd rather we went at them full pelt. Try to get the result in the first 30. Not keen on holding to much back in reserve to hit them late if they cling on. We shouldn't be thinking one goal is all we need as they have plenty of attacking options.

      Does the Gaffa have a clear plan, I'm sure he has. Mo hitting serious form at the right time but Carlo Isn't above targeting Mo.

      Allison,TAA,Matip,Van Dijk,Robbo

      Shaqiri,Hendo,Gini.

      Mo,Bob Mane.

      Go at them full pelt. Shaqiri should start as he could just push their defence enough for Mo to exploit the weakness plus he is building up a good working relationship with Mo and can put those tricky little balls thru to unlock a tight defence. But Hendo must not sit on it, give the flair players a chance to make something out of nothing.

      I'd rather have a goalkeeper than 5 at the back, but that's just me I guess.

      Had a dream last night that we won this 3-0 and it seems a few others had a similar dream, so no real worries about this one.

      In all honesty, if offered, I would take qualification here for a loss against scum so we should go all out to try smash this lot. Midfield is a difficult one however would have Keita in for sure, Wijnaldum preferably and one of Fabinho/Milner.

      A fast start isn't going to work.
      They'll park the bus then try and hit us on the counter.

      Patience is required, grind them down, wear them out, keep the ball, make them run around after us, then be clinical when we get a bit of space.

      Napoli beat Frosinone 4-0 on Saturday and are 2nd 8 points behind Juve. Carlo said he will attack and said last time he was at Anfield he won with Chelsea.

      Can't trust what he says tho. He'll target Mo for sure.

      Carlo said he won't park the bus. Didn't mention anything about 6 clapped out Lada's tho. But he will have a eye on attack for sure. Hendo has to be more positive, playing it safe when the more adventurous ball is on  suits Italian defences. We have to inject pace into it. I want Shaq in midfield to give it a bit more urgency.

      No use trying to pace our game, our attack has to be at them from the off. Can't chase the game, Nap are experts at frustrating teams. Get at them, cause panic. Attack with pace and urgency, have confidence in our defence.

      If you want Shaq in midfield you cant have both Kieta and Fabhino . Hendo does what Jürgen asks him to do.
      The back four will be obviously the same the front three will be the same so its Hendo plus two and I cant see Shaq being one of the two its likely to be Gini and one of Naby or Fabhino.

      They won't panic, and they will park the bus.

      They MIGHT try and mob us early, and nick a goal, but they will very quickly retreat behind the bus.

      I think we're going to need patience, and a solid base, and I'll stick with that.

      I just think F**k it - go for it and show them what we’re all about. If we play all tentative trying to get that 1-0 then we’re asking for trouble.
