[Daffy Duck]

Coutinho is still out of this one, lots of cover fortunately

Ha, just read that Klopp got McClaren sacked at Wolfsburg with a 3-0 away win for Dortmund.

For some reason it reminds me of this scene with McLaren the guy with the mullet and the sleeveless green shirt -

[I, Ravel Morrison]

That's what a competitive squad is all about. Rotate mentally tired players and replace with those that want to get a place.

Worked for Origi, Lovren and Allen!

I honestly don't recall our squad looking this competitive before in midfield and attack.

[BigChief]

So if Coutinho is not playing then the team picks itself.

Back 5
Milner Lucas Allen
Lallana Benteke Firmino

Can't see Hendo or muscle hurting Studge starting.

Agreed, as though Klopp smuggled in several players!

Don't want to get too cocky but we should be beating these.

Treble season was pretty good.

Owen, Fowler, Heskey & Anelka. What a quartet of strikers that was. Think we lacked proper quality out wide, only Barmby, but also had a number of decent midfielders in Macca, Didi, Gerrard, Murphy & Berger. Maybe others I've missed out too.

Then there was the midfield under Rafa of Masch, Alonso, Gerrard & Momo but striker wise I think we only really ever had Kuyt & one other.

Other than about 10 fixtures we should win the all but this never happens. There have been bigger shocks in the league than Newcastle turning over Liverpool at St James Park. We've been stunning at times under Klopp but we've also had fixtures where we've looked flat.

By all accounts Swansea at Anfield should've been a walk over but it only finished 1-0.

absolutely mate & sure there's always a random result in there to bring us back down to earth.

[Shaggy]

I'm nervous. It's good to be nervous again. Win today and it's on.

Yeah, I forgot how good a squad Houlier built. I think Rafa's was a little thin.

[Liverpel]

I'm not nervous. I'm expecting us to win by four or five goals.

(Win by ten and we'd jump above Spurs. Just sayin')

It's a 13/14 kind of nervy anticipation. I love it.
