Anfield under the light in a European Night

Napoli's startingXI: Meret, Maksimovic, Manolas, Koulibaly, Mario Rui, Di Lorenzo, Allan, Zielinski, Fabian, Mertens, Lozano.

Come on ypu reds

Hmm.. tactical drop for Trent AA? 

I didn't guess either of those changes. I suspect this lineup, particularly Joe for Trent, is the result in large part of the earlier meeting between the two sides.

Just cut my prediccy league tip by a goal for each side. Get ready for 90 minutes of cagey, tense, football.

Milner and Henderson never seems like a good combination. Shame Keita picked up the flu or whatever, was hoping to see him start this game.

He went for legs rather than brains, hope both are creative.

As I thought few changes and rightly so

Oh no....looks like TAA won't be able to do his support play...needs a rest anyway.Get Joe back into after that pillock Sterling bounced off him. Could be tight out there.

Yup looks like Jürgen went defend first and foremost which make sense given our history with Napoli.

Carlo great manager that he is will  have them well drilled.Nothing we do will come as a surprise to him. Joe obviously hold his position more than TAA. Might see a fair bit of Robbo making the extra man down the left. Jim lad as well down the left drifting inside. Be a hardworked result

2-1..

3 points lads..

Let’s put this group to bed..

Super negative midfield, we'll win but only by an odd goal.

Daft talk, we will dominate yet another game at Anfield.

Must be time for a rest for him, I'm sure he will be back for weekend.

COYR

This side is looking light on creativity given torrents absence and the make up of the midfield. Expecting a tight game and hopefully some fireworks from the front three.

Come on red men under the lights in Europe , what we are made for .

Come on reds.  Busy month ahead.  Let's get this group sorted tonight and give ourselves a breather in a fortnight!

Salah hat-trick.  Let's do this.

Tough game tonight. Will miss Trent’s right foot

Why did they stop play, he’s off the pitch so didn’t have to.

Putting the ball out and the player is already off the pitch.

I've seen it all now.

Sloppy start from us

Hopefully Fab is okay. Salah has been frustrating so far.
