I would not feel so bad in case we fail to win against Napoli this week. We have come so far from those days, feels so good, just to know that we are in the mix of things again Proud

Fear for match at San Paolo tomorrow ?

Expect a good match unlike the usual boring Serie-A PL affairs in the PL.

Think it's going to be like the Chelsea match, both teams going at each other. Plus I heard, Napoli has fantastic atmosphere too.

will be a great game and we will continue to explore if our team is worth any hype that the media and others are creating on such a short period of football in this season so far bounce

*bleep* sake, my manager just set a meeting for 4pm , which means I'm gonna miss from start of second half to 70th min Evil or Very Mad

Lineup against Napoli

Starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Milner, Keita; Salah, Mane, Firmino

Substitutes: Mignolet, Lovren, Moreno, Fabinho, Henderson, Shaqiri, Sturridge

In what world Moreno gets picked ahead Clyne???

by Hapless_Hans on Wed Oct 03, 2018 6:59 pm

in a world in which both of Gomez and Fabinho can also play right back, I guess

by iftikhar on Wed Oct 03, 2018 7:08 pm

Napoli: Ospina; Abiol, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Rui; Allan, Fabian, Hamsik; Callejon, Insigne, Milik

Substitutes: Karnezis, Hysaj, Diawara, Rog, Zielinski, Mertens, Verdi

I'm not familiar with Napoli. Have they rotated their starting XI? Do Maksimovic, Rui or Milik regular starters???

Yeah no need to have 4 players who can play RB. If Robertson can't play there's no one else that can play LB instead of Moreno.
(Milner used to play it but it was like 2 years ago and he is too valuable in midfield to move him to LB now)

But if you ask me Clyne deserves a start at RB.

German Messi Marko Marin scoring :bow:

Neymar scoring from 2 perfect free-kicks in one game :bow:

What a player

by Hapless_Hans on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:15 pm

Salah is in an acute crisis. Does all the wrong things, nothing works

I don't think Liverpool fans yet realize how serious this is
Firmino surely isn't going to score 30 goals

Thankfully, depth is much better, but you should still have bought Fekir for goals

Maksimovic (a CB) is playing for Hysaj. Rui has been a starter for a while, Ghoulam has been injured for a long time. Fabian is a weird choice, that position is Zielinski's.

by Hapless_Hans on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:19 pm

Keita injured

pretty huge loss

for the season, not for today

today he's been terrible so far

by Nishankly on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:19 pm

Keita stretchered off with a back problem. Henderson on, I guess we'll gain more control in midfield but less drive in midfield now.

by Hapless_Hans on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:22 pm

Callejon looks like Ziggy Sobotka ffs :bow:

by rincon on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:32 pm

Allan is amazing

by Nishankly on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:34 pm

Gomez and the pitch both are shite

Salah has been playing great in the last couple games apart from scoring, still scored 3 in the league. Literally has the best stats in the league apart from the goals. I'm sure the goals aill come

Koulibaly is a beast. Why is he still in Napoli?

by Nishankly on Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:40 pm

He's getting chance to be so tight on Salah only because its a 3 CB backline, I'd expect him to be destroyed if it was 2 CBs. That said, he's doing well to ensure Salah receives the ball with his back towards the goal.
