Koscielny not ready apparently. Holden and Chambers CB.
Right, have to start Origi and get at these f*ckers. Play Sturridge too if he's fit, drop Coutinho and Lallana to the midfield holding roles.
First tip of the season, over 3.5 goals in this match.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

I'm well up for it, I reckon 2-1 to us. I don't really care as it's all about results for the first ten games.Was muß, das muß.

I'll be very disappointed if we don't win, even upset with a draw depending on how it plays out.Originally posted by foresterbloke View PostI'm well up for it, I reckon 2-1 to us. I don't really care as it's all about results for the first ten games.
However, most teams will drop points there and it's not normally a place we are expected to win, so a defeat shouldn't have too much of an impact on our season overall, I just feel it would be a massive opportunity missed.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

Yes, thanks Jonathan Pearce but this is not Robot Wars.Originally posted by foresterbloke View PostWhat a massive boost if we do, the beginning of a title charge, Klopp's Kop Karnage Bringers!
I agree its the best time to play them without the likes of Giroud, Ozil, Kosc and even Mertesaker. Moving a useful fullback (Monreal) to CB will also cause them unnecessary pain.
But like its been said, they always seem to play out of their skins and we're left sucking our thumb coming out of the barrel of soft bits. We need to make a statement. Arsenal will score at least once so we need to put away nearly all our chances.One tit for another.

I think we will beat them as well.
I think Burnley may be a harder nut to crack though. Them having us at home will be huge for them - I would prefer playing promoted teams at Anfield at the start of the season.
Having said that though, if we start with 2 wins, then we go to Spurs away full of confidence and hopefully with a few goals under our belt. If we could somehow get 9 points out of our first 3 games, then it's fockin on. 3 away games including 2 difficult / rival teams out of the way. Then watch Klopps team fly!!!
Look at United's ****in start though - Bournmouth, Southampton at home and Hull. Fock sake. David Gill must be pressing the button on the fixture computer again.....

Could you not have picked a different example?Originally posted by BigChief View PostYou don't want minnows early as they're fit and ready eager beavers. Drop early points against Arsenal and Spurs, bad but no biggie. Drop them early to Bourney or Hull and you're already under pressure.

There will be more pressure on Arsenal and Spurs when we meet them than on us. They are the home teams and the second and third placed teams from last season, so there will be an expectation on them to win.
We need to ramp up that pressure when we face each of them by going at them and putting them under the sort of pressure that would make Jack Charlton smile (Irish lads will get the song reference
).
We have as many injury issues as Arsenal so I don't buy into them being the weakened team, the almost underdog. They have a strong squad and at home should be expected to perform so no excuses should be getting made for them in the media or elsewhere.
If we play well then we can beat them regardless of who they put out, and that is how we should be approaching this game and every other game.
Crack out the Rammstein Jurgen, and let's have everyone ready to feuer frei
I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Too bad for him the manager who promised to play him in CM has gone, but with our injury record I'm sure he'll still do ok for appearances 

some kind of Aussie lingo I'm missing there or subtle reference to white supremacy - not sure which
