Liverpool FC v Athletic Club Aviva Stadium, Dublin Sat 5 Aug 2017, 17:15

[Venton]

And we really managed to **** that up at the back. 1-1

[labourRed]

I think Firmino has started this game well. He doesn't often get the praise he deserves and may not with other attackers being so eye catching. But when Firmino is playing well we also tend to.

[fidget]

Like the look of Williams

[Venton]

Bilbao giving us the hard press here.

[Venton]

So this is what we can expect from a lot of our premiership opponents from this season - press us hard in the centre of the pitch to disrupt our rhythm and hit us fast on the break when we lose possession. In this match though we've got two pacey full backs that give us an outlet and when you add Salah and Mane to that I reckon we're going to catch a lot of teams cold.

Might get caught once or twice ourselves though of course

[Venton]

Moreno with a good chance there but had to go with his left foot when his right should have scored. Nice one two with Firminho.

[Venton]

Origi just isn't good enough to start. Need to bring him on when the opposition is tired.

[RedReet]

Quite disappointing after a very promising start. Some nice link up play though.

Origi just isn't good enough to start. Need to bring him on when the opposition is tired.

100% not sure he even plays that role if everyone is fit.

[Venton]

Good workout that. Bilbao played well and finished the half much stronger than us, although we looked dangerous earlier in the game.. Origi is hopeless as our centre forward. 1-1

[RedReet]

I think Firmino has started this game well. He doesn't often get the praise he deserves and may not with other attackers being so eye catching. But when Firmino is playing well we also tend to.

He's a gem, so important for us. Expecting a great start to the season from him.

If he keeps pens, my 1 in 2 prediction for this season looking good.

[rudedog]

Weren't we linked with Williams in the past?

[labourRed]

It is a bit galling that we won't have improved our defence by the Watford game.

[labourRed]

Weren't we linked with Williams in the past?

Yeah. But that ship will have sailed with the Salah signing.
